**UPDATE:....
...
INEC just published a revised version of their “Communication Policy”..
The problem here is not in publishing lots of policies here and there..
The real problem is:
Would these policies guide their decisions and actions??

...
See the link to the policy below:

Give us a confirmation link..

“...We blocked the whole thing and the whole food and everything was wasted...”

The guy just violated Bobrisky's right to expression.
He just intimidated the guy for nothing.
Bobrisky on his side was busy chasing the wind, and acting drama up-and-down.

Let's expose corruption in all spheres today.
Tag your people here too.

Whenever someone hears about “fighting corruption” in Nigeria, the person would start to think that the end-product of such a noble fight would be a sane nation filled with disciplined and well mannered upright citizens.
Let us make things clear.
A country without corruption should have a very clean system in operation, and the citizens should have very high sense of discipline.
Thus, for a corrupt country that wants to fight corruption, the real “fighting of corruption” should be: “to get the system clean as much as possible, and then, get the citizens to value the virtue of discipline as much as possible”.
...
Corruption goes far far far beyond embezzlement and misappropriation in public offices.
There are a lot of little things we do in our everyday dealings, and a lot of little things we overlook in our everyday-lives which constitute corruption.
..
If you jump queue for no good reason, you're corrupt.

If you meet traffic jam, and you left your track to join the left track so as to get to the front of the traffic jam to cause more chaos, you are corrupt.

If you make any profit from any source that is more than 50% at first reselling, you're corrupt.

If you are getting paid by any means which you did not work for (probably as a result of your own making, or as a result of an existing faulty system), and you did not own up in time, you are corrupt.

If you are in officer in charge of a system that was reported as having some loopholes, if you decided to cover up the reports and leave the loopholes in place rather than stopping it, you are corrupt.

If you are being smart at obtaining some things at the expense of some innocent law abiding citizens (whom you might have referred to as fools), you are corrupt.

If you are thinking within yourself that, “abiding by the rules and regulations is being foolish/stupid”, you are corrupt.

If you are thinking that, “with money, you can do anything you like, and sort yourself out”, you are corrupt.

If you think that you have people at the top, and therefore, you are free to gain access to anything you like, which you are naturally entitled to, you are corrupt.

If you fail to hand over something that belonged another person (be it a tangible object, or a position) just because the person was not aware that it belonged to him or that he had not asked to have it back, and you kept it to yourself, you are corrupt.

If you bargain with people to pay you extra tips before you do your job which is supposed to be your duty, you are corrupt.

If you reduced the quality or quantity of your job which is supposed to be your duty, just because there were no tips, or that the tip was small, or that the previous tip was little, you are corrupt.

If you obtain anything by false pretence, no matter how little or big, you are corrupt.

If you always wish to live a lavish life, but you don't have a lawful means of income to provide for the lavish life, even if you end up borrowing so as to live the lavish life you always lived for, you are corrupt.

If you don't pay tax, or, if you pay tax that is not up to the tax you are supposed to pay, you are corrupt.

If you accept any job that is above your capacity, and you went ahead to deliver it shabbily, just because you wanted to get the pay that goes with it, you are corrupt.

If you are doing anything that you are not good at, and you couldn't subject yourself to more training and enlightenment on the thing, or choose to leave the thing for someone that knows it better, you are corrupt.

If you take bribe, no matter how little, you are corrupt.

If you don't like your job, yet you are still there doing it very badly and getting the whole firm down, with the thinking that after-all, they will still pay you your due salary; you are corrupt.

If you see something that the whole lot of people are doing, and you know that the thing is very wrong in itself, those people doing it are corrupt. If you join them in doing it, you are corrupt

No matter how huge amount of money you see or process in the line of your duty, if you dare to have any access to any dime that is not yours, no matter how little you took, you are corrupt.

If you are in charge of putting people in some positions, and you put some names into some juicy positions that they are not supposed to be in, rather than the positions they rightly deserved, you are corrupt. Even if you did it for free, you are corrupt.

If you are in any position of power, and you use the power in favour of your selfish personal benefits, or to suppress or intimidate the people who you are supposed to serve with your power, you are corrupt.

If you are law maker and you deliberately made some laws with loopholes, so as to favour some people over the others, you are corrupt.

If you are a law maker, and you discovered some loopholes in an already existing law, and decided to take undue advantage of the loopholes rather amend the law, you are corrupt.

If you are a religious leader, and you are more interested in making your congregation to fear and worship you rather than fear and worship God, and you make your congregation tremble at whatever you say, even when you are very wrong, you are corrupt.

If you are a religious leader, and you are busy developing formats of preachings for blessings and curses on your congregation that would make them to donate more in their offerings and tithes, you are corrupt.

If you are a religious leader, and you are more interested in preserving the religious rules and regulations made by your religious institution, rather than the spiritual wellbeing and the good morals and virtues in the congregation, you are corrupt.

If you are perfect in shifting blames from yourself, to the extent that you will never be blamed for any of your wrongdoings even when you are totally wrong, you are corrupt.

Even here on Nairaland, if you have multiple accounts which you use to spam and lure people to your copy-and-paste blog, you are corrupt.

Here on Nairaland, if you presented a catching topic/title to a link which you provided in any of your comments, but the content which the link redirected to was totally different from the topic/title (even if the content is interesting), you are corrupt.

In summary, if something is very wrong in itself, and it would tell badly on the people and on the community, if you went ahead and do it, you are corrupt.
...
There are many more everyday-examples of corruption amongst us as “normal” citizens.
We can't name all of them in this thread,, although we can try to mention all of them if we wish to.
But, the earlier we start making moves to correct all of these little corrupt behaviours within us and start living better, then we are fighting corruption.
..
I believe that one day, when Nigeria becomes free from corruption, CBN and NNPC and NLNG would be advertising annually for vacancies in the newspapers, and people would apply, and at the end of their recruitment exercises, those recruited would be the so called “normal” citizens, without any links or ties.

...

...

The way things are now, is there any way (or means) I can apply for the results and get them from INEC?

Kingosytex:
Why call lalasticlala? Is lala incharge of hacking the account or should he go and find the hackers?

Guy, are u a sadist by default?
Or you learnt this bad behaviour from somewhere?

Metrixnews:
A 20-year-old boy, Chikamso Chizoba Amalu has completed working on his auto mobile project which he started some years back.

Chikamso, who was on a test ride of the vehicle in Lagos street on Thursday told ABN TV that even though his father has not fully given his backing to the project, he persisted in doing it, saying it gives him happiness.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U7-5_6ZxQ8

Popularly known as A.C.C Whizzy, Chikamso revealed that he made a helicopter in Enugu in the year 2013 which he flew to the surprise of many.


He said lack of financial capacity has slowed the process of putting finishing touches on the helicopter project.

He admitted that there were errors in his previous invention but said he has developed a road map to make it more effective.

Chikamso said his agenda in 2020 is to invent what he called auto robotic spider that can maneuver traffic logjam through its wings.

See my guy, fly the helicopter again and post the video. Even if you never build am finish, fly am like that and put the video.
..
Again, be quick with your robotic spider invention. We will need it in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, I'm not a wailer.. And this thread is not a wailing thread, neither is it a thread for wailing (or wailers)..
The reason I am sounding this warning here is for those people that may click into the thread just to derail off the point in their arguments - Either by wailing, or by calling other people wailers.

I may not know the full content of the Electoral Bill - as amended, which was not passed into law before the 2019 general elections.. But, it is very important for the National Assembly to revise the bill again, and add a serious clause for ”public disclosure of the fully detailed results” within 3 months or less from the time the elections were concluded, failure of which attracts severe sanctions to INEC or any relevant body that brought about the delay.

Nbote:
Are U sure INEC has a record of d figures dey made up as d final results? They are still trying to reconcile d figures dey announced with d actual election figures

Well, INEC should answer all queries that are in connection with the elections and the results..
But the truth is, it is high time INEC started making the results public.
Nigerians are entitled to the full detailed results after the elections.
It is not something that should be hidden

INEC (@inecnigeria) posted the thread below on twitter on the 30th of June, 2018.
This means that INEC knew the right things to be done when it comes to the Freedom of Information Act, but they don't do them.
See Below:

..
Objectives: Freedom of Information Act
.
1. To make public records & information more freely accessible subject to established exemptions;
.
2. Ensures openness, Transparency, Accountability & Probity

XANDERBOY85:
They’re still cooking the figures!

We will continue to wait for them.
Whenever they are ready, let them just publish it..
We need the details more than the results itself, (but they would never know.)
They thought we are just interested in the winners and losers.

Some time around middle of August, I was arguing with my friends, whether INEC was empowered by the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act to publish on their website, the fully detailed election results of all the positions for which elections were held, even down to the Polling-Unit results...
Thus, does the constitution empower the citizens to conveniently browse the INEC website for the election results and click into any L.G.A, or Ward, or even any polling unit of choice, and see the full detailed result for the House of Assembly election, or that of the Senatorial election in that same polling unit.??
..
Some of my friends argued that INEC only has the powers to conduct elections and then declare the winners, and nothing more. That they are not under any obligation to publish the whole results since the results from all the lower levels of collation could now be regarded as “Sensitive” or “Classified”, and thus, only the final results are necessary.
Others argued that it could be a tedious task for INEC, and thus, the least they can even publish is the L.G.A level results.
(We argued this topic just some few days before I bumped into a news publication by Premium Times that supported the fact that INEC should publish the fully detailed results down to the polling units.)
..
Nevertheless, before we read the full news article as published by Premium Times, I would need more opinions from fellow Nairalanders, and our Lawyers on Nairaland.. Let us share our own opinions on this.
..
Is it the right thing for INEC to publish the fully detailed results of all the elections on their website?
Is INEC mandated by the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act to publish the full results on their website?
And also, at what level of collation would they start to publish the results? (That is, if you agreed that they should publish the detailed results)
....
....
(HERE BELOW IS THE NEWS PUBLISHED BY PREMIUM TIMES..)

SIX MONTHS AFTER NIGERIANS ELECTED NEW LEADERS, THE INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION, INEC, IS YET TO UPLOAD THE DETAILED RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS ON ITS WEBSITE


Nigeria held presidential and national assembly elections on February 23, while governorship and state assembly elections were conducted on March 9.

As at August 18, however, only the final results of the presidential election (total votes scored by each candidate) had been uploaded by the electoral commission. 

View HERE
for the final Presidential Election Results.

Even for the presidential election, details of votes scored in each state or local governments are yet to be uploaded by the commission.

For governorship and parliamentary elections, the electoral commission is yet to upload any results. Rather, it only published the list of the eventual winners of the elections. 

..
VIOLATING THE LAW

Publishing of results of an election is mandatory on INEC, which has the responsibility for elections across Nigeria except for local government elections.

Section 71 of the Electoral Act states that 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.”

It is not clear if INEC’s refusal to publish the detailed results has any link to the criticisms that trailed the election results. Over half of the election results are being challenged in court.

Also, The Situation Room, a coalition of 72 civil society organisations that monitored the elections, in its final report questioned many of the figures declared by INEC as the final results of the election.

“Data in the voters’ register, as well as results figures declared by INEC, threw up several glaring discrepancies that have yet to be explained. There were also differences between the number of accredited voters and the total number of votes cast in many polling units. In a similar vein, Situation Room observed that there was significantly more votes casts in the presidential elections than was cast in the National Assembly elections which took place simultaneously with the presidential election.

“Furthermore, a close scrutiny of the registration numbers given by INEC reveals discrepancies between the total number of registered voters announced before the election and the total number of registered voters announced by INEC during the collation in 30 of Nigeria’s 36 states,” the civic coaltion said.

When contacted last week on the reason the results are yet to be uploaded, INEC spokesperson, Festus Okoye said, “the officials at the headquarters are yet to resume fully from the Sallah break.”

“When they do by Monday, I would find out and get back to you”, he added.

INEC’s inaction on the results has, however, been condemned by civil society groups

“Unfortunately, INEC (has) neglected to make public, detailed breakdown of the election results — including voided votes. This is part of a more worrying trend,” Idayat Hassan of the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) said.

“One of the most noticeable and avoidable missteps 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 hidden from public view.

“It is high time civic groups and the press start making use of the Freedom of Information Act Requests to compel INEC to publish full and detailed results data for all elections held since 2015,” Ms Hassan, whose group monitored the elections across Nigeria, said.

In his reaction, a lawyer, Monday Ejeh, said INEC’s inaction may be because there is no punlshment for not publishing the detailed results.

Mr Ejeh said there are two types of laws: the ones backed with sanctions, and the ones not backed with sanctions.

“In other words, when the law says – if you do this, you would suffer this, that means there are consequences for it; and then, the ones without sanctions.

“Talking of sanctions, a sanction can be negative, for example, imprisonment, an option of fine and so on, or it could be positive, meaning if you do this, you would get this or be promoted.

“But, that section (mandating publish of election results) is just hanging, there are no sanctions attached to it.

“So, those who are interested in getting the result from the website, there is one option, to approach the court and seek an order of the court, mandating INEC to upload the result.

“You may reach them to know what their reasons are, although there is no excuse. That section mentions notice board and website, so, if INEC comes to say “on all the voting centres, we pasted this result”, it may suffice for posting on their notice boards, but the question is, does INEC even have a notice board?

“If they have, where are they stationed? I do not think in every INEC office you go to, there are notice boards. So, these are issues, because, sometimes we make these laws, but we don’t care to follow them in compliance.”

“I am not sure if they have been complying before. I am not sure about that,” the lawyer added.

3. Finally, a dead person somewhere, somehow got to somewhere else and continued living and even got married..

I would like to know exactly how the experience afterlife really is.
I must not experience it myself in order to know.

The most humbling feeling is knowing one will eventually die

The Nigerian embassy has the right to prosecute them


How can beating up someone be equal to demonstrating freedom.

It is called physical asualt which attracts fines and prison time.

Does it attract shooting, teargassing, and forceful detention?

So, why won't our dearly beloved country Nigeria understand the same thing too??
Guy was actually chestbeating on behalf of Germany.

goodgirl2409:
We have talked severally but nothing has changed. Every month, he puts up this attitude like 3 three weeks in a month, 1 week, things maybe normal.

Something is deeply troubling him and eating off his happiness, and you have not figured it out yet.
He might not be bringing you into it yet, because he might be the type of man who doesn't see their wives as mate/helper.
And the fact that he doesn't have the solution to the problem all figured out yet, he sees your pestering as part of his problems.
