INEC FAILED NIGERIANS - RENEGED ON ITS PROMISES ON HOW THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WOULD BE CONDUCTED

INEC's leadership failed Nigerians again. The chairman promised everywhere from Chatham House to national television. He promised unequivocally that results would be transmitted electronically. He made claims that they have test-ran the technology at the state level. He was vividly angry when he was told before Feb 25 that some of the presidential candidates were concerned that the process would fail. 
 
There is news that international observers urged him before a president-elect was declared to slow down and investigate what the problem was with the BVAS system and fix it before a candidate is declared the winner. The inauguration is still later in May - delaying election result announcements to ascertain the authenticity of the results is within the power of INEC. He promised he would but the next thing we saw was that he declared a president-elect and issued a certificate. All you hear is, "go to court to challenge the process," which one is faster, INEC rectifying what is seen as a flawed process is easier than going to court where the process is slow and can be easily swayed ... our courts are notorious for giving questionable judgment.. I hope they will prove people like me otherwise in this question.
 
Those whose candidate was declared a winner would tell you that the election was peaceful and only a pocket of violence was recorded. They are not completely wrong, there was violence but limited to some strongholds. However, the concern about the credibility of the election is not at the polling boots (of course a lot of rigging in some strongholds of some parties) but the organizer, INEC. Numbers announced at the polling boots are not tallying with what INEC reported finally at some boots. I blame the other major parties for not having their own independent result collation system where results are uploaded in real-time. They do not need a BVAS, they only needed an APP on a smartphone. They would have their own results to show Nigerians. Can you imagine if at least two other parties have numbers that tally compared to INEC's? It will be easier to fight....
 
I am not sure how long we will continue to hold elections that would lack credibility and are questioned by some including the international communities .... Some of the results of the Senate and House of Rep are still pending. About 25% of the results are yet to be announced ..... WHY, what happened, BVAS server is still down 9 days after the election??? It was claimed that only presidential election result transmission could not be transmitted via BVAS, why are all the results of the house not out almost 10 days later. There is the governorship election in 6 days, INEC chairman is expressing regrets about glitches but has not told anyone what those glitches are

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...

Wannabee Prime Minister that is Denigrating her Native Country... for What?

Omo ale lo maa hun fi owo osi j'uwe ile baba eh - it is a BASTARD child that uses the left hand to describe her father's house.... We should speak honestly about our country, but when you hold a position like Kemi does decorum is essential. She could say the same thing in a way that will not impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians who live and make a honest living across the globe. She is an opposition leader for crying out loud... She is dragging her native country deep into the mud to gain cheap popularity.... She will need the votes of Nigerians if she will ever be Prime Minister one day. Every letter of her words will come back to hunt her... I trust Nigerians in the UK will not only mobilize against her, but they will also mobilize other Africans and Carribeans to shun her...
