There was a social media unfriendly election yesterday in Somaliland. The self-declared republic joined the tall list of African countries that blocked social media during elections.

That was their way of dealing with fake news and rumours which they say may create instability in the country.

The election was however technologically friendly as they became the first country in Africa and the first in the world to use the iris recognition-based biometric voting system.

This is the scanning of the eye to verify the identity of registered voters before they are cleared to vote.

The machines have been under trial since 2015 ahead of the election held on November 13. It was successful and they made history.

Most countries including Ghana, Kenya and Angola use the fingerprint biometric voting system to identify registered voters.

It eliminated the problem of double voting. The disadvantage is mostly technical including the breakdown of machines and the running down of batteries which sometimes slows the process.

These problems did not affect the elections in anyway.

Somaliland has shown the way and I am sure the world will follow soon.

I have never insulted Hazard and truly believe he is a top player. But he is a bit overrated going by some things people say here. For e.g, Hazard will not become WPOTY playing in RM or Barca as some have said.

If Neymar did not become it, Hazard will not become it. The argument therefore that he needs better players around him (like those teams) to take him to that level (of CR7 and Messi) is fa fa fa foul.

One would think hazard is like 5 years older than debruyne, not knowing they were born in the same year. Hazard's achievements made it look that way, what a pity.

That's why i said ''one of your friends'', both of you are mad.



I only watched hazard's highlights, his bursting into goal area frequently, will get him the numbers. Learnt loftus-cheek impressed too, that's the effect of playing regularly.
