The Journalist lost out big time.

Lalasticlala, Mynd44.
Please take this to Front-page.

In Bolivia, the election results are made public; and as a result, the Bolivian President happened to resign last Sunday after an international audit of their October election results found out that the results could not be validated because of “serious irregularities”.
...
Here in Nigeria, the results of elections are not even available for ordinary perusal, not to talk of them being available for forensic auditing.

sweetonugbu:
who will start it, it will be tribalised, if an IGBO man start it Yoruba will never participate vice versa, assuming a fulani is in power Hausa s will raly round him,it's out turn. Bro it will not work

Well..
We still need a looong healing process in Nigeria.
We knew it already anyway.
But we keep coping with whatever we keep getting, until we can cope no more.

sweetonugbu:
our power drunk politicians or the docile masses?

Had such massive protests happened in Nigeria before??
Please answer me.
(You know that the answer is a Big Yess..)

anonimi:
You think that Nigeria matters to the international community (Western democracies) more than Bolivia?
Please can you explain why you think so.
Thanks.

I still won't believe that Nigeria is no where on the world map of powerful countries.
In terms of natural resources and powerful human resources, Nigeria cannot be compared with Bolivia.
It is just the operating system of Nigeria that is just blocking off most of the untapped potentials in the different sectors.

sweetonugbu:
It cannot happen in this our Obodo naija

It can..
But maybe not under Buhari.
But it can happen.

anonimi:
Nigerians with an over-bloated sense of international importance?
We don't matter that much o.

(@the bolded statement)
And so does Bolivia..
So, what happened in their case?
(Stop the negative energy bro)

GOFRONT:
This is a forbidden step to take in my own Country....

This can only happen in Nigeria if the released election results are fully detailed.

SalamRushdie:
Why was there no international audit of the Buhari election

It's so simple..

THE FULLY DETAILED RESULTS WERE NOT MADE PUBLIC FOR FROENSIC AUDITING..

“I regret this deeply,” Morales said on national television. He will send his resignation letter to Congress in the next few hours, he said.
Demonstrators and the Bolivian opposition had accused electoral authorities of manipulating the vote count in favor of Morales, the country’s longtime socialist leader. Morales denied the allegations and declared himself the winner.
Morales was one of the longest-serving heads of state in Latin America. He served nearly 14 years and was Bolivia’s first indigenous president.
He won his first election with a campaign that promised a government focused on the needs of the country’s poor. But he was also accused of using the system to concentrate power.
“We have been in the government for 13 years, nine months and 18 days thanks to the unity and the will of the people,” Morales said in a statement posted to Twitter. “We are accused of dictatorship by those who lost to us in so many elections. Today Bolivia is a free country, a Bolivia with inclusion, dignity, sovereignty and economic strength.”
Celebrations broke out across the country as news of his resignation spread.
It was unclear Sunday evening who would be Bolivia’s next president. The officials next in the presidential line of succession all resigned Sunday.
Vice President Álvaro García Linera announced his resignation minutes after Morales stepped down.
President of the Senate Adriana Salvatierra Arriaza, 30, would have been next in line, according to the Bolivian Constitution. But she, too, announced her resignation Sunday evening.
The job would have passed to President of the Chamber of Deputies Víctor Borda, but he stepped down earlier Sunday.
Speaking to local media, the second vice president of Bolivia’s senate, Jeanine Añez, said that she is the next in line to assume the presidency, and is willing to do so.

Bolivian President Evo Morales resigned Sunday amid growing opposition after an international audit found the results of last month's election could not be validated because of "serious irregularities."

Morales said he was stepping down "for the good of the country," which has been roiled by protests in the days following the October 20 election. Three people have died in the protests and hundreds have been injured.

Calls for Morales' resignation had grown over the weekend, and on Sunday, the head of the Bolivian Armed Forces, Cmdr. Williams Kaliman, asked Morales to step down in order to restore stability and peace.
Morales claimed he'd been forced out in a coup -- a charge echoed by his allies in South America, but denied by the opposition movement, which said this was a fight for "democracy and peace."

I dey follow dis one here..

Explorers, please help me call upon Lalasticlala and other mods, so that they can push this thread to front page too.

unmask:
I am not sure about your first paragraph....and you are the first person I am hearing it from

And to react to the second....the chairman of INEC said manual accreditation won't count, which He confirmed during collation, but your question on "what am I saying" seems odd....since I just mentioned the only realistic area the opposition can actually have a case

See the figures I posted above and confirm for yourself that there are huge differences.
Thankioor.

Here is the continuation of this thread:

I have done that of Anambra State.
And as expected, INEC failed the simple test.
See Below:
Number of Accredited Voters in Anambra State for the Presidential Election= 675,273.
..
Number of Accredited Voters in Anambra Central Senatorial District for the Anambra Central Senatorial Election= 223,877.
Number of Accredited Voters in Anambra North Senatorial District for the Anambra North Senatorial Election= 210,819.
Number of Accredited Voters in Anambra South Senatorial District for the Anambra South Senatorial Election= 224,569.
...
Total of the three accreditation figures for the Senatorial Elections in Anambra State= 659,265.
…
DIFFERENCE IN THE FIGURES= 675,273 - 659,265= 16,008.

MrStan11:
At least I didn't put my life in danger.
I won't be so quick to forget almost being killed in Bayelsa while trying to vote.




Nigeria na Scam.
Nigerians are Hypocrites.
A Nation with so much Hypocrites can never have a common goal.
You think Arab Spring was born out of Hypocrisy.

I really don't know how and why this country of ours got this bad..

MrStan11:
Its my right to vote.
Its also my right not to vote.
















I will only vote when we upgrade to electronic voting chikena.

In sane countries like Australia, it is both your right and responsibility to vote.
That means, if a citizen did not vote, he would receive a mail prompting him to reply within two weeks and explain why he didn't vote, failure of which he would be fined.
(See the link here: https://www.elections.wa.gov.au/vote/failure-vote)
They are free to vote at any closest voting centre of their choice.
Once a person votes, he cannot vote again anywhere else, because no matter wherever he goes, the accreditation system will detect him and it will report that the person had already been accredited earlier..
And if the person eventually votes after all the warnings, then he must be fined severely.
(This is a place where the system is working, and the people are also allowing the system to work for them).
...
In Nigeria, before a person votes, he must travel to the place where he registered.
And even at that, there must still be over-voting, no matter what.

(@The Bolded Statement In Your Reply)
Ooh, you think Desperate Nigerian Politicians won't create loopholes in that one again?
They would either pay the programmer that developed the software or the ICT personnel that configured the servers to leak some important codes for them in order to manipulate the system, or they may even pay strong hackers to hack into the servers and tamper with the information, or even wipe it all off..
..
Just remember that THIS IS NIGERIA.!!

So the Op has just now come to this conclusion? You could not trust them in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, so what were you expecting. Look at how an old Coup Plotter that should have been in jail is there as President, not even able to give speeches or town halls or visit communities.....


Shame...


But of course, we know he must be an imposter

(@bolded statement)
We are talking transparency, and you are here talking coup plotting.
My brother, See....
Let's just forget all of those history for now.
Things have badly spoiled already.
It's the ignorant greedy Nigerians, and the greedy law makers who created the faulty system they called INEC, they are the ones that kept us here.

My brother, should we now wait till the year 3010 before we start looking for solutions??
..
If we cannot begin now to correct the monster they call INEC, we can never begin to correct it again until we finally decide to fight the doubt that is preventing us from beginning..
..
Many people believed that INEC is transparent.
The ones that know that there were manipulations are the deep researchers and the analysts, and not the normal daily newspaper-readers and NTA-listeners..
So, it is time we all start afresh to re-educate all of them.

pickatyou:
It should be called BUEC or APCEC

Or even PDPEC (and APGAEC)..
Whichever one they are dancing to at any point in time and space, that's just what they are..
