WORRIES 2019: GENERAL ELECTIONS WITHOUT CARD-READER!

If the 8th National Assembly (Senate and House of Reps) will in "4 years"only succeed in" institutionalizing"(legalising) the "Card Reader technology " into either our "Electoral Act" or the "constitution", in my judgement, they would have justified the "billions" that accrued to them otherwise the 8th Assembly, in my humble view, would be a "disaster" of the century to country. 

Take it or leave it, the technology called "Card-Reader" was among the major "game-changers" in the 2015 General Elections. Divine intervention through "hard - work" unity of "purpose" and of "direction" by majority of Nigerians sent packing the government whose leadership was "helpless" about the unprecedented Boko Haram "Insecurity" and of mindless "corruption" in the country. 

Good Governance anywhere in the world is a "function" of "credible" elections. If elections are "free" and "fair" leaders must "perform" otherwise they would be "disgraced" out of office. Political "Godfathers" and or "Money-bags" politicians will be irrelevant. The true Political power will "rest" with the people. People with high "integrity" even though "poor" will run and win elections.

As important as the technology, it is "not" recognised by the Electoral Act of 2010 and the 1999 constitution (as both amended). Card-Reader technology put "master riggers" to "check" , except of course, in some sections of the country where the technology was, in my understanding, deliberately "sabotaged". The elections of Rivers and that of the Akwalbom States which were keenly contested were "marred" by substantial none compliance with the Card-Reader technology. However, no court of law will listen to the argument of none compliance with the Card-Reader technology because it is not backed by any of our laws. 

Professor Attahiru Jega has done the country "proud" by first coming out with a relatively reliable "voters register" which was not known before him. Every State,Senatorial zone, local government, and ward know its voting "strength". Come the Card - Reader technology which needs to have a constitutional backing. 

Prof. Jega was to "decongest" the "pooling booth" for easy "voting" , "control" and "supervision" by the both electorate and the INEC officials. Some of our pooling booths have up to 1,500 voters! The standard for effective management is a "minimum" of 500 and a "maximum" of 750 voters. Unfortunately, regional "champions" and Political riggers embarked on "propaganda" that sabotaged the attempt which was aimed at ensuring more credibility to our electoral process. I employ the new INEC,Chairman Professor Mahmud Yakubu to carry out the decongestion exercise early enough to avoid any Political suspicious. I also employ the National Assembly to quickly legalised the "Game Changer" called Card-Reader. 

May God bless Nigeria!

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION                             By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                October 19, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict"-Martin Luther King, Jr. Permit me to add my voice on the ongoing massacre of women, children, and armless civilians in Palestine. In my thought, it is not about who triggers the present massacre of the Palestinians , but it is time to talk about the 76 years of massacre of women, children, and the armless civilians of Palestine by the state of Israel which is being watched helplessly by the entire world. Before 1948, the Jews worldwide lived predominantly outside Palestine.They lived predominantly in easter...

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY                                By:                          May 19th, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Barring any last minute changes a "bill" for the recognition of an independent candidacy will be transmitted to Mr president for his "assent". In my thought, if the "bill" is finally "signed" into law it will largely "checkmate" the "excesses" of "governors" and "moneybags" politicians who often denied "credible" candidates "tickets"in order to pave ways for their "anointed" ones no matter their weaknesses. In our modern day politics, we have had enough cases where "credible", "competent", and "popular" candidates loss primary elections due to lack of "money" or "godfather" or state governor's anointment.  In my thought, allowing independent...

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES                         By              Nurudeen Dauda                May 5, 2019 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, there is now an alleged "drug cartel" in our airports which specialised in planting drugs on unsuspecting airtravellers. Of the six alleged members of the drug cartel arrested in connection with planting of Tramadol in a bag bearing Zainab Habibu Aliyu's name, three were said to be "clearing agents", two were said to be staff of a"security company" and one a staff of an "airline handling company". In my observation, the arrest of Miss Aliyu in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in respect of 2000 packs of "Tramadol" said to be found in a bag bearing her name has nothing , but succeeded in exposing our institutional weaknesses.Heads shoul...
