There are those who aren't yet eligible to vote who have phones. So that won't work.

While Bruce pays for the SMS for Nigerians. Another way of raking means by Telcos and share with the senators

Majority of Nigerians will be disenfranchised, especially people in the remote communities with no mobile phones and or network signal.
Even developed countries don't vote in election by text. Bruce has no common sense at all

Thats a good idea but what about peope using five lines. How do we guard against multiple voting.
My take is that there should be one International observer in each ward to record his or her own result. The result should be handed to the leader of the international observer who would be with INEC during coallation because that is where the results are manupulated. The people must be able to follow the election from polls to collation.

So that each politician can buy 1m lines and vote abi? Just hire boys to do the job.

Good thinking but not practicable


Ballot boxing snatching and stuffing of votes seems to be an aberration.tump printing sounds like fela music to 14 yes old boy. Now the reigning and only source remaining before we gain our total freedom is robbing the palms of voters with oil.Thank God boyers are remembered by these vandals.we are progressing!!!!

Lmaooooo


Yeah, almost every Nigerian adult has a Facebook account too, lets vote via facebook

Think of it

It could be done but like you spotted it would need serious checks to avoid exploitation

Like all the telcos will only allow fully registed lines with date of birth and pictures for voting

INEC would publish ussd code numbers for each candidate and once you vote your line can't allow you to bite once
It's tricky but actually very doable for countries that want to think outside the box

We could also use BVN numbers via SMS to check manipulation

Just thinking

This is one of our leaders.

They don't have anything upstairs

You did not propose Electronic voting machine to be installed in a new voting center

Can you see why Nigeria is going backward?

Common sense is truly not common.

What a shameful tweet. Nonsense

This man sense don mix with the old senators, they have turned him to ziombie

Instead of just shooting the idea down
how about we think of why it cannot work, and then propose a better idea

that's how a country grows
not this destructive behaviour I see here

Support..they should scrap INEC that needs how many billions for 2019 general election..I wouldn't mind voting with my line even if the would have to charge me for it but they will have to bring in UN to monitor the Mtn engineers before buhari will send in his police to go rig it again.

Good Idea.

Simply Stated, It's A Good Idea. However, It Needs More Critical Thinking If It Will Work

Its a terrible idea. The idea is so bad BMB should be disqualified from partaking in an election (as a candidate or voter).

1) How do you stop foreigners from voting?
2) How would stop under aged kids?
3) How would you stop multiple votes from people with multiple phones?
4) How would stop people in Lagos voting for a senator in Enugu state?
