This is like when Japan introduce electronic and digital wrist watch, they turned it down but regrets it today,

The same with when the Wright Brother said that heavy and metal objects can fly,

Small minds laughed at them,

Stupid Governments and stupid citizens

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

I believe you. Lol.

I can't believe a Nigeria senator will suggest such thing. I have over 10 sim cards at home.

To support my candidate during election, I can buy and own 500 plus.

These men are just useless. Nothing good can ever come from them. I believe this one will also contest for president in future

How can you vote via text with the issue of one person using multiple lines? Stolen phones? Central lines?

We voted in person you people rigged the election, na text message go safe?

Next thing now PDP will buy 300million MTN lines on the night before election, while APC will buy 460 to beat the record.

This is the first time I'll react to this senseless common sense being. This is d easiest way of buying votes. All you have to do is just gather people together, collect their phones and send texts on their behalf before and after paying them.

Dumb, foolish and assnine. You can't just pull out an idea from your nyash and call it common sense. How about those who don't have phones? And if Mike Adenuga has a preferred candidate?
And you don't think dead people also had registered lines?

Good Idea.

However, It Has Its Downsides

1. Not All Adults Own Phones;

2. Some Who Own Phones Didn't Register Inserted SIMs In Their Names;

3. If This Is Implemented, Phone Theft Is Likely To Increase Couple Of Days To Election;

4. In Event Of Need To Recount Votes, How Will We Go About It;

5. Finally, It Doesn't Really Stop Vote Buying. All A Political Party Needs To Do Is Send Town Criers To Each Ward Announcing That It Has Freebies For Willing Electorates At A Particular Venue On Day Of Election And All You Need To Get The Freebies Is To Come With Your Phone.

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

Seems you and the senator dont think properly.
If you want to use phone voting to cut out vote buying, then what makes you think that vote buyers wont communicate with me and make sure I vote their candidate then I get alart? Easy, no police to arrest or harass both the buyer and the seller.
Infact this nonsense idea will even make vote buying escalate.
.
Increase the standard of living of the populace and see vote buying fade away with time.

A lot of folks v more than two lines while below 18 also do.
you don't get it.

The age shows when you register, so under age can't vote, they will b screened out. Data used to register the lines are usually the same, whether glo or mtn.
So you can be detected if u double vote.

Some people with inferiority complex would say, why have America n other countries not done it if it is possible. I say, lets start it and they learn from us in future, we have working brains too

INEC will be like:

"To vote APC for Change, text LIE to 419"

BTW:

When you have a mod like mynnd44 openly supporting APC/FG, the result is that more B M C posts will be seen while anti govt posts will be hidden

This is another wishful thinking just to stay relevant on twitter without putting into considerations the pros and cons like; is it everybody that still have active line among 100 million users? Is everybody that has a phone that can send a text message? There are so many aged people who have phones just to answer call when it rings but have PVC.What is the probability that desperate politicians will not connive with network providers to hack the lines/rig the election?

Since the required age of voting is by attaining the age of 18 years. I think the government should mandate all citizens who has reached the age of 18 to open a bank account and the bvn will be used as social security number. It can also be used for electronic voting too

Very dumb, I hope senator Bruce hasn't forgotten he's in Nigeria. We always look for backdoors and loopholes to legitimate things. Moreover it won't work cos one person has up to 2 to 3 lines. And sometimes registered with different names. In fact I've started thinking of so many ways to beat this system if it were to be in play. That's how easy and dumb it'll be to even think of voting this way.
if banks could develop the bvn tech
why can't ncc develop a tech to link diff network lines to same owner?

this idea is a nice idea , it can work ... but alot has to be done , their must be physical registration of the people above 18 . it is a very good idea , and it can work
Re: We Have Over 100M Phone Lines, Why Can't We Vote By Text -sen.ben Bruce by bigsmoke2(m): 3:42pm On Jul 19, 2018
This guy doesn't have sense even the most advanced counties still require physical presence . Voting by text even makes it easier to rig ode. There will be alot of coersion of voters. It will be easier to buy peoples votes as they will be there with you while you cast your votes. There will also be a lot of voting by proxy.
