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

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

  Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria, I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria, Akpabio, forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her. What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu, who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinubu wa...
