Please, let them also include the publishing of the full election results on the INEC website and on the national dailies.

Ok naa..

Hmmm..
Okay ooo

Lalasticlala, Mynd44..

This thread is still waiting. Thanks.

She was hoping to warn other ladies stylishly, and at the same time showcase her man..
But she never knew that she stylishly brought her man out in the bare view of some lady-wolves, and these wolves would stop at nothing until they get to share pictures of the same man too, just to hurt the lady for her senseless flaunting.

These lawyers would just be here making noise.
When they get to the court, they would call in the wrong witnesses and make big fools of themselves by not establishing their case well.
..
And again, you guys should forget about the server issue.
Bring up some other issues please.
...
Don't be surprised that the reason these guys went to supreme court was just because of the WAEC certificate and INEC Server... Hmmmmm.. Na waa for una.

Would the Supreme Court allow him to call additional witnesses and tender additional evidences??
If the answer is No, then, Sorry.

LALASTICLALA, MYND44, SEUN...
Please help me push this thread to the Front Page..
Please, na beg I dey beg...
(Please mods, don't delete this comment again please..
Just help me push the thread to the Front Page.. Thanks)

Good Morning..

Whistle Blowing Policy where the identity of the blower is not protected, that one too na whistle blowing??

Woowww..

(Even though this thread no even concern me shaa)

Vengeful Mercy.!!!
Tufiakwaa..

So that our politicians would still corner all the money to themselves...

Mods, why are you people deleting all my comments where I mentioned Lalasticlala and Mynd44 and Seun??
Please, is it a taboo to mention Lalasticlala, or Mynd44, or Seun in a comment??
Is This thread that bad? or too sensitive? or not Front-Page worthy?
Any mod,, please answer me quick..
Because I don't really understand this anymore..
..
Again, I ask.., and I want to know...
Is this thread not Front-Page Worthy??
What exactly is wrong with it??

Toroso:
I will wait till you list Africa countries that published theirs. Only foolish people will expect Nigeria to meet up European standards expect in SCAM fraud n cocaine

Do you also have website of previously published election result in Nigeria or you are just one of those that want Buhari to provide solution to all Nigeria's problem in less than 5 years when others could not in 60 years ?!

My reply to the first bolded statement...
Nigeria is still the giant of Africa. We can start it. It is what democracy is. We have the right to see the results of how we voted in full.. Political analysts need it even more.

My reply to the second bolded statement..
When you do something that is good, you just try to be the best at it. If someone else had done it before, you can take that person as a case study. Not to copy the person, but for you to still be the best at what you do.

My reply to the third bolded statement..
You think I have anything against Buhari or Atiku?
My concern here is INEC. They are the ones that can correct themselves. Buhari or Atiku won't do it for them.
The earlier they start doing good, the better for democracy in Nigeria.

Again,, please stop placing Nigeria in bad light please, even when things don't seem nice with us now.. I know it will still get better soon.

I for one, I have hope in Nigeria, and I mean it.
One day, I will tell my kids the story of how we suffered bad governance and bad elections in the past.
And they would listen to me and see it all as history..
I don't want all these bad news to meet my kids.

YOU GOT ME NOW??

FarahAideed:
The can't because it will expose their fraud

Fine..
Even if they won't start with this election that just came and gone, let them start it with Kogi and Bayelsa Governorship election that comes up in November.
CAN THEY??

For instance, here is the Australian Electoral Commission's Page for Election Results...
https://www.aec.gov.au/Elections/Federal_Elections/

You can compare this page with that of INEC and see exactly the point I am trying to make.

For those ones that may come here to defend INEC, just be aware that in other democratic countries, the electoral bodies functioning in them does not delay the publishing of the full election results down to the polling-booth level.
You can see an example below.

First of all, www.inec.ng.org does not belong to INEC in any way.
Secondly, INEC's functional website is www.inecnigeria.org, and it is the website which has the final result sheet of the presidential election uploaded to it; and with the lists of winning candidates for Senatorial, House of Representatives, and Governorship elections.
(Not even the final result sheets of these other positions were published, not to talk of the full results down to the polling-booth level). See the links below.
1. Link to the Presidential Election Result Sheet.
2. Link to the List of Elected Senatorial Candidates.
3. Link to the List of Elected Candidates of the House of Representatives.
4. Link to the List of Governors Elect and their Deputies.


Thirdly, an old website of INEC, www.inec.gov.ng does not have any election results uploaded to it.
It was last updated since February 2019.

On the 8th of September 2019, BusinessDay published this news article below on their website..


WE PUBLISHED 2019 ELECTIONS RESULTS IN ONE WEEK, INEC REPLIES CRITICS..

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that it published the 2019 general elections results on its website a week after the announcement.

INEC, which was responding to contrary views in some quarters, said it published the results long after the elections, said results of the Presidential and National Assembly elections were published on its website, www.inec.ng.org early enough.

According to Section 71 of the 2010 Electoral Act as amended, INEC, “shall cause to be posted on its notice board and website a notice showing the candidates at the election and their scores, and the person declared as elected or returned at the election”.


However, there have been concerns as to whether the Commission has fulfilled this legal obligation or not, long after the conduct of the February/ March general elections.
Idayat Hassan, director, Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), while expressing reservations on why the Commission has not published results of the recent polls said, “Unfortunately, INEC neglected to make public, detailed breakdown of the election results—including voided votes. The trend is worrisome”.
Hassan noted that, “One of the most noticeable and avoidable blunders INEC has made following the 2019 election, is its refusal to publish detailed election results on its website.
“Much like it did in 2007 general elections, INEC has only published national-level totals for 2019 presidential elections, choosing to keep sub-national results data”.
Again, the CDD director, while presenting a post mortem report on 2019 general elections, urged INEC to transparently and promptly publish, via its website and through civil society organisations, official results for all election contests, showing a full and accurate breakdown of figures down to polling unit level.

But reacting to the concerns, Rotimi Kayode, chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, questioned which other results the Commission is being demanded to publish other than what is already on its official website.


Kayode told BusinessDay that the results are published with breakdown state by state and encouraged the public to visit the website and click on www.inec.ng.org to see the published results.

“Have you gone to the website and the results of the 2019 general elections are not there? So, when people say we have not published the results, I just wonder. We have published the report with the breakdown, state by state, a week after results were announced, so what exactly are they looking for?

“If you go to INEC website, the results of 2019 presidential election, Senatorial and House of Representatives are all there. But if you are looking for a pulling unit in Bayelsa that one is not there. So it is a different process.

“The result of 2019 presidential election is on the website. This is what the constitution asks us to do and we have done so, people are just playing to the gallery. If you want to prove me wrong, go to the website click on www.inec.ng.org when the thing comes on go to the elections click on it, there will be a drop down and you will see the results of the presidential election, all the 73 political parties and the person that won and all the scores that each of them has”, he explained.

When BusinessDay visited the website, it saw the results of the presidential elections with scores by individual candidates and their parties without state by state breakdown.

Also seen were the results of the Senatorial and House of Representatives elections with only candidates that won in each of 109 Districts and 360 Constituencies.

INEC in a quick twist went ahead to reply..
But guess what?
They fumbled big time with the reply..
Whoever it was that did the reply didn't even know the correct INEC website.
(What a shame)
Meanwhile, before you read the INEC's reply, it is important to not that it was only one website that published the news, and comments and replies were blocked off on the news article.

On the same 30th of August, Punch Newspaper published this news article below on their website.


CDD DEMANDS 2019 POLL RESULTS ON INEC WEBSITE..


The Centre for Democracy and Development on Thursday demanded that the Independent National Electoral Commission should publish the official results of the 2019 general elections on its website .
While describing the 2019 polls as the most chaotic collation process ever witnessed in the electoral history of Nigeria, the organisation said it would consider using (every) available means, including the use of the Freedom of Information Act to compel INEC to publish the results according to polling units.
The Director of CDD , Idayat Hassan , stated this in Abuja during the presentation of its post-mortem report on the 2019 election collation .

She said, “INEC should improve processes for conducting collation in line with international best practices. These can be tried in off - cycle elections , ahead of the next national ballot in 2023.

“lNEC should also transparently and proactively publish - via the INEC website and through the civil society organisations - official results for an election contests, showing a full and accurate breakdown of figures down to polling unit level.

“It should work towards developing a way of transparently making ward-level results easily accessible to , and searchable by , the general public. I think it is actually important for INEC to publish the results according to polling units. It is not just about going to court, it is actually what you and I can actually do through available means.

“Lagos, Osun, Kaduna, Rivers and Sokoto experienced significant problems with the ward level collation. Together these states accounted for 46 per cent of incidents of concern noted by our observers. The situation was especially bad in Rivers State where clashes between political thugs and security personnel -de facto proxy battles between top politicians in the state -disrupted several collation centres,” CDD stated.
It added, “Further amendment to the Electoral Act (2010) will allow for the introduction of electronic vote transmission which will reduce error in the calculation process and improve the pace of collation.

“The FoI is one of the means that could actually encourage INEC to do it. It is something that has formed observers’ report since 2011. The rules should be followed when it comes to INEC. In the last election, we witnessed a lot of intimidation of collation staff, observers and the media by security agencies and political thugs.

“This must not rear its head in the Bayelsa, Kogi and other off-cycle elections before the 2023 elections. The fact must be told that this was an election in which we witness many collation officers disappearing for more than 20 hours in several of the ward collation centres. This is the most chaotic collation process ever witnessed.”

After I opened this thread on 28th August, I started following the outcome of the CDD's interactions with INEC.

On the 30th of August, Daily Post published this news article below on their website:

CDD RELEASES REPORT ON HOW INEC COLLATED 2019 ELECTIONS, SAYS EXERCISE LESS TRANSPARENT..


The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) on Friday released a detailed new report on the collation of election results at the ward level, describing it as one of the most vulnerable parts of Nigeria’s election process.

In the report released to DAILY POST on Friday, the group noted that a post-mortem provides independent and objective assessment of the process by which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) aggregated and tabulated polling unit level results during the election. CDD observed that compared to 2011 and 2015, INEC was less transparent in the conduct of the 2019 elections.

The report reads in part:

The integrity of this collation process is critical to the overall success and credibility of Nigerian elections. If conducted in a transparent, organised and well-regulated way, collation can help produce credible election results and boost voter confidence in the process. In the 2019 elections, however, civil society observers across Nigeria saw a collation process that was chaotic, open to manipulation and, in some locations, badly disrupted and opaque.

Although ward-level collation is just one of the many challenges to Nigeria’s electoral the process is an important vulnerability that receives little domestic scrutiny or international attention. Left unresolved, Nigeria’s widespread ward-level collation problems will continue to embolden election spoilers, weaken public trust in INEC and undermine the credibility of election results.

Ward-level collation disruptions and manipulations give opportunistic political parties and individual candidates opportunities to dispute the outcome and legitimacy of elections, especially in Nigeria’s most politically contentious wards. Such disputes frequently exacerbate local political tensions, empower local political thugs and even help fuel long-running communal conflicts.

Context: CDD’s 2019 Ward-Level Collation Monitoring Effort

Ahead of the 2019 election, CDD—in partnership with Premium Times and the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC)—trained and deployed over 8,809 INEC-accredited ward-level observers to polling units and ward collation centres in every state and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) during the Presidential and National Assembly elections held on 23 February 2019. Using Zabe SR – an application specifically designed for election observation – CDD observers recorded data on the operational status and conditions at individual polling units in real-time and provided qualitative descriptions of the voting process and incidents affecting the collation exercise. Four key takeaways emerged.

Key Takeaway 1: Ward-Level Collation Faced Five Main Challenges

The five main challenges CDD observers identified were:

Missteps and misconduct of INEC staff;
Deliberate denial of access to observers and media;
Logistical shortfalls;
Intentional disruption by politicians, political thugs and party agents;
Intimidation of collation staff and other malfeasance by security agents.

Key Takeaway 2: Collation Problems Significant in Five Key State

Five states—Lagos, Osun, Kaduna, Rivers and Sokoto—experienced significant problems with the ward-level collation. Together, these states accounted for 46% of incidents of concern noted by our observers. The situation was especially bad in Rivers State where clashes between political thugs and security personnel—de facto proxy battles between top politicians in the state—disrupted several collation centres.

Key Takeaway 3: INEC Less Transparent in 2019 than in 2015 and 2011

One of the most noticeable—and avoidable—missteps INEC has made following the 2019 election is its refusal to publish detailed election results to its website. INEC has only published national-level totals for the 2019 presidential election, choosing to keep sub-national results data hidden from public view. This opaque approach reverses the tangible—albeit incomplete—progress on results transparency that accompanied the 2011 and 2015 elections.

Furthermore, in its rush to certify state-level results, INEC has yet to publish a verifiable and credible paper trail for their ward-and local-level results that demonstrate to Nigerians and the world how they arrived at their official results. Without evidence voters are asked to trust that INEC’s final results have been calculated accurately and free from outside manipulation despite numerous reports of disruptions to ward-level collation.


CDD Provides a No-Nonsense Recommendations

With the aim of improving ward-level collation in forthcoming elections, CDD makes the following recommendations:

INEC should improve processes for conducting collation in line with international best practices. These can be trialled in off-cycle elections, ahead of the next national ballot in 2023.

INEC should also transparently and proactively publish—via the INEC website and through civil society organisations—official results for all election contests, showing a full and accurate breakdown of figures down to polling unit level. It should work towards developing a way of transparently making ward-level results easily accessible to, and searchable by, the general public.


INEC should discipline or, if necessary, investigate and then prosecute its personnel alleged to have been involved in misconduct during the collation process.

Nigeria’s security agencies should hold its personnel—and their commanding officers—accountable for unprofessional or illegal conduct while deployed on election duty.

Security agencies should also notify the public—via the press and online—which units will be undertaking election security duties in each local government area of each state to ensure that individual unit can be held accountable for their conduct on election day.

Political party leaders must commit to holding their party agents and other members accountable for their election day actions, particularly those present at collation centres. They should discourage the use of political thugs and formalise penalties for party members involved in mobilising and financing them. Publishing the names and locations of party agents would be a welcome first step.

Civil society organisations should continue to lobby INEC to improve its transparency and dissemination of election tabulations and results, particularly at the ward and local government level. Freedom of Information Act requests and legal actions (as necessary) can ensure that INEC is compelled to publish full and detailed results data for all elections held since 2015.


Further amendment of the Electoral Act (2010) will allow for the introduction of electronic vote transmission which will reduce error in the calculation process and improve the pace of collation.

The international community and development partners should provide international election observers with the support and protection needed to observe after-hours collation at the ward and local government levels.

International entities should also impose travel and financial sanctions against individuals involved in disrupting ward-level collation and other kinds of election malfeasance as well as their political sponsors.

Francisayo:
My life has always been going well until I lost my dad when I was in year one in university, it shocked me so hard but I still manage to graduate...

I graduated and served d nation.

I have always been an extrovert and I like places that are lively...

I have a lovely gf who is so understandable even though I'm not taking care of her as expected cos of my lack of job

I served and returned home, I have spent 9 months at home since after my service, I looked for job everywhere but no job in sight, my uncle looked for job for me but d job is too tough with little salary ( they call it sales representative but d description is of sales boy), going to work from Monday 8 am to 6 pm Saturday with 18k salary which 6k will go for transport fare in a month.

I know I won't be able to cope with it so I rejected it, but it now seems I'm becoming a burden to my family as they look at me as if I don't want to work.

A woman told me to come and be teaching in her school, jss1 and jss2 only typically a new school, the school location is typically a village, but d pressure from home is much for me and doubt
left me with no choice than to accept d offer, d pay is 25k per month... Though out of it I'll be d one to pay for rent and furnish it, house rent is #1500/month....

I traveled to d place today and I can't believe what i met, d place is a very local place and everywhere is just so quiet and boring, i have 5 students in my class.

My gf is already serving and we've not seen each other for months which is already having a bad effect on our relationship...i got home this afternoon and having deep thinking with tears in my eyes if this is how i will continue to live my life...Im 27yrs of age and seems no direction in where my life is going...

Pls, i need mature advice from mature people pls...

It's looking as if i can't survive here at all and my gf is complaining cos better things are not looking to be forthcoming soon.

I'm typing this with tears in my eyes, pls pardon d errors

You are more interested in this relationship of yours than you are in your own future.
You don't even want to start, yet you are already thinking about the things your girlfriend wants.
You think everybody started well??
Then, Welcome To Reality.
....
And for your girlfriend, if you are feeling pressure from her, she may be making you to believe that she is waking you up to be “a better man”, but the hidden truth is this:
“She can't wait for you any longer, and she wants you to see the reasons with her too, so that whenever she leaves you, you won't blame her”..
Make up your mind now.
If you feel any pressure from her, drop her immediately.
Love doesn't burden someone's heart and mind. It brings peace to the heart and mind.

Honestly, this type of news gets me very very angry.
So, he had all the evidences, yet he couldn't present them at the tribunal? And he was busy presenting nonsense?
Why is he making the noise now?
Why can't he just remain silent and wait quietly for the tribunal verdict, and also remain in prayers so that the judges decision would favour him miraculously??
So, Why All The Noise Now??

ImperialYoruba:
How do you know what they do or dont, they live in the bush out of sight. When left by themselves im sure they have entertainment. How do they entertain?

Ok, so Southerners wear English jacket. Did you not see English jacket on the guy?

So should we now praise him as a moderate Fulani simply for this dress mode?

We in the South...we see but we are blind, we hear but we are deaf!

Is the guy a Fulani man.? or a Southerner?

Hausaman:
That Truth is always bitter is a known fact. The video of this Fulani has just explained to the Haters that before Tribe & Religion separated us, we where once humans.

The Fulani herdsmen have been demonized to the extent this dancer will be taken for an Igbo herdsman if there is any. A few good men is all that we have left in Nigeria.
May God bless Nigeria.

(@ the Bolded)..
Take it or leave it, but that was what I believed when I saw the video.
Do average city-based Fulani men dance our normal dance styles? Not to talk of dancing to Olamide's song? Now, a Fulani herdsman that has the bushes and cows to cope with all through his life??

Nigeria Police is just another name for “Personified Corruption”..

Meanwhile, see thread below:
Corruption Entails More Than Only Embezzlement And Misappropriation.
