ChinenyeN: If you crowd source it by making this an open source project rather than a privatized project, then you would likely see more activity.
That aside, I am not quite sure this would be a viable idea for an actual election, but it would be an excellent tool for determining who actually won the popular vote.
The application can be designed to function as a website and a mobile app. Users must be authenticated before proceeding. The app and site can both be developed to render all active sessions null and void if multiple devices are attempting the same user authentication. The final thing I would add to this is that even upon logging in, all users are simply met with a countdown clock and no form inputs. The countdown clock will countdown until the the polls open. It is only once the polls have opened that the site and mobile app will display form inputs for voting.
Something will need to be done though to ensure that the votes captured through the application are indeed representative. Many people have access to web and mobile apps, but not all of them can actually vote. The applications purpose would be rendered useless if a 12 year old can manage to place a vote of their own.
This project is not impossible, but it will be difficult. So long as it is not treated as an official means to vote, then it should be good. As I said, it would serve better as a way of capturing the actual, popular vote, i.e. the voice of the people. Woowww.!! For sure, it is not impossible, but it would be very difficult. Misappropriations can be reduced by first capturing the voters accurately. (If the biometric data of the voters that were captured during the voters registration exercise were accurate enough, then, it can be loaded in the database). Then, the voters must verify and authenticate their identities by using biometric devices., and finally, the vote must be cast and closed after each verification. Thus, each voting process involves verification of the voter, presentation of the voting page to the voter, the voter being given 60-seconds to cast his vote (after which it becomes void), closing down of the voting page after the vote is cast (no opportunity for corrections).. The next voter would go through all the same process of instant verification and voting., and so on. |

0luwatope: only Few programmers are on nairaland, the rest are just "i have an idea" kinda people. Op, you are talking about a platform where voting will be conducted without duplicate accounts, 100% accurate codes, well structured DB, security firewall, nice UI, user authentication and lots more. To get this, you'll need heads of geeks and not just a single programmer. If i will ever participate in this, it will first be for a poll like MR nairaland or Best nairaland diary of the year kinda app. Abeg i no fit come spend months on one elephant project like that. I rest my case. xw You know, the geeks in America developed their election gadgets, and they were put to good use. But here in Nigeria, INEC had already ruled out electronic voting for 2019. Reasons being that it would be too expensive, and that there are no provisions for it in the constitution.. So, let Nigerian geeks come up with something good and downloadable (so that there won't be need for procuring new factory-made customised computers or gadgets just for the elections, after which the gadgets become useless forever) With full biometric capturing and other security measures. It is NOT necessary for it to be released to the public domain, but let it be a program that can comfortably do all the functions of capturing of numerous voters without data clogging, accurate verification of all captured voters, nullification of multiple votes by a single voter (or accepting only the first recorded vote by the errant voter), sorting and analysing the votes as they were being cast, collating votes from the voting softwares or apps (that is, for the collation softwares or apps). Now,, it is clear that the job is for teams. One programmer cannot do it alone. |

4dor: Nice idea but there's nothing like hack proof, also this is a tricky venture, if your app makes people at the top uncomfortable, the DSS will be at your door soon. If you guys are serious, you have my support. The idea is this..... Let there be such a competition first that is being privately organised for interested programmers across the nation (by a notable IT firm), and let it be widely publicized.. Then, no politician or political entity can publicly go against such a move because: 1.. It is a private competition geared at human and ICT development,, and at the same time, potentially beneficial in the public decision making of the citizens, and the government. 2.. Any person or group of persons that ever thought of going against the competition would rather choose to go privately and meet the organisers with fat juicy bargains, because they would be in the bad book of Nigerians if they dared to go public with their moves. |

ObiOmaMu: Big Brother Naija housemate Gifty caused a meltdown when she said yesterday she doesn't know who celebrated Nigerian singers Banky W, Falzthebadguy and former Mr Nigeria Emmanuel Ikubese were.
The three Nigerian celebs had visited the housemates in South Africa and during her diary session, Gifty dropped the bombshell.
Problem now is Gifty is up for eviction this Sunday and someone who claims he is her ex-boyfriend is afraid this would make pissed off Banky W's fans vote against Gifty and send her home.
Read below a mail this ex-boyfriend shared. He added pics of them together as 'proof'.
I am a Nigerian singer. Gifty used to be my love even before she married. She was a victim of domestic violence and use to cry everyday about leaving her battering hubby. I'm so disappointed that she would say she doesn't know Banky W. I personally downloaded 'Won't you be my lover' for her in 2013. Banky, please pardon her before your fans send her home on Sunday.. it was just naivety.
Below is my pics with her, (dont mind the position of my hand in the pic oh) my name is Mr Vyrux.

I am not a programmer, I know.. But I know that there are lots of intelligent Nigerians everywhere that are good in writing codes and creating good softwares and mobile apps.. Now, is the time we put their skills to good use.. Let us come together and do something spectacular.. If our leaders wouldn't to do the right thing, we Nigerians can put them aside and show them the way forward.. To that effect, I would like to make a suggestion here. ... I would like the Nigerian Programmers to come together and conduct a competition that would require the participating competitors to create hack-proof computer softwares and mobile apps that could be strong and viable enough to be used for conducting highly sensitive online elections. ... Let the competition be widely publicized; and also, let all the apps and softwares that were used (or produced) in the competition be made available to the general public for testing in their various private polls and choice-making (and for public review too).. If this is done, the government of the day would start thinking towards adopting electronic voting for once, and at the same time, make plans towards adopting these Nigerian-made softwares and apps rather than considering importation of the softwares.. In this modern era,, paper counting and recounting is absolutely outdated and archaic.. The importance and advantages of electronic voting are too numerous to mention |

Romance › Re: How My Friend's Girlfriend Tested Him To See If He Truly Loves Her by tk4rd: 6:53am On Feb 09, 2017 |
Apple1992: Please read this to the end, though it's lengthy. Apology for any blunder.
Yesterday me, my friend Charles (not real name) and her girlfriend Janet (not real name) were returning from church, we were heading home, when suddenly Janet, asked Charles to handover his phone to her, Charles. gave her the phone. I and Charles did not suspect or expect any fouls play because that's not the first time she holds the phone and by right a girl friend has the right to see or holds the boyfriend phone if need be.( my opinion)
But we notice when the phone was handover to her , she immediately open the phone, remove the battery, sim card and the SD card, then put back the battery without putting back the sim and the SD card. I personally was confused I don't know about my friend but I think he was more confused than me.
When my friend asked her the reason for that, she said nothing, we were all mute, we trekked a distance when the most surprising and the most shocking happen.
When we got to the head bridge, we stood and look for bike. Janet, pass us and threw the phone into the river. I was like is she mad, what did she find in the phone that got her so furious and if she found anything that upset her was this the right action to take.
charles, asked her in a calm voice why? she respond in aggressive voice "don't asked me any stupid question" the anger was burning in me I feel like devouring the girl or tore her to pieces, how can she do that to my friend now that phones are costly? many things run throw my mind,
I look at my friend, he said we should go, I said to him we should do what? he said let's go. I said to him we can't just live her let treat this girl, he said no. "I always said am the last guy that will rest up my hand on a lady" and Janet is not just a lady but my girlfriend and my lover, so I can't, everything happen for a reason " Charles said to me.
As we were about to live, Janet call us back, hugged my friend kiss him. And I was even more confused. what is it today. Then he open up to tell us that he was tempting my friend to see if he'll rest up his hand on her or embarrass her. But she now sees my friend as a good person who love and respect her.
At the present she open her laptop bag and remove a brand new Infinix zero to my friend which is more better more costly than the techno Y7 he was using.
She said even if my friend beat her up or threatened her, she will still give him the phone but that will be the end of their relationship.
So nairalanders, if you were in my friend shoes, will you act as he does? to me I won't o seriously already i have asked him to give her the beating of her life which he refuses. But now I have learn, maybe if it happen to me next time I will try and control myself.  The guy fulfilled his own promise to HIMSELF.. He can leave the girl any time, and she can't do anything about it.. She can only say "Remember YOUR undying love for me..." Forgetting that her own love for the guy was pure DISASTER. |

Nellybii: 8
Now you guys will be deceiving yourselves that the protest has no opposition backing. From your comments, the protest is already hijacked and it can't work like this. The protest is supposed to be against bad governance at all levels irrespective of party affiliation. It is not against Buhari or APC because we have PDP governors, senators etc that are also guilty of bad governance. Governors eating up security votes and bailouts like chinchin. We are campaigning against bad Governance both On the streets and online.. Anybody who likes to see it as anything can go on and see it as anything they like.. But let me make things clear to you about my comment on the musicians. They are humans, thinking with their own human brains, and reacting to their own situations with their own emotions according to their own resolutions and affiliations. So,, if they joined the protest,, then it's fine. It means that they decided to look beyond their affiliations and the possible dents the protest might cause to their affiliations if they joined it. But if the didn't join the protest, (just as everybody is predicting that they won't join),, then, it's still fine.. It means that they did what they had to do.. They were caught in the middle of the situation, and they had to go with the least severe option, or better put, a more favourable option. You won't do anything different if it were you. So,, stop painting a perfect scenario here and tossing the coin at me. See things from their own angle too before concluding. All I know is that, there are three sides to this protest: 1. The Bad Governance and Bad Government Policies,, both past and present.. 2. The Affected People,, both past and present. 3. The Unaffected People, both past and present, who are thinking that everything is still smooth. |
