The test run conducted yesterday on the card readers in some selected states in the six geopolitical zones were successful in some states like Lagos and Delta while it was a huge failure in Kano.
Kano is one of the states in Nigeria with the highest collection of PVCs and it will be worrisome if many voters will be disenfranchized because the card readers rejected their PVCs during the election. This will surely affect votes in favour of APC from Kano state which is an APC state.

If the test run of the card readers in Kano was a failure,there's every probability that other northern states with APC stronghold might be affected too.

Card readers might reduce the chances of rigging but at the same time disenfranchize so many voters especially from the north. The latter should be of more concern to APC.

APC supporters what do you think?

Even though i didnt watch the test run on tv, i think inec and the political parties should educate the women in the North to get those paintings off their thumbs before election date. The only problem is that it takes about 2 weeks before those paintings fade off, i don't know if they have something that can clean them off immediately (maybe nail remover). Inec may need to provide it on election day. I think we need card readers.

Berem are you cursed or is nairaland the cause? How can a so called married woman jump on the internet as early 5 a.m? Are you sure you are not a runs woman in Lagos? A so called married woman should be either cooking this morning or preparing her family for church. We are left with no other option than to conclude that you are a runs woman and useless onto yourself. Berem you are fat and ugly and old, at the same time with a bad character no wonder no man could afford to keep such a nuisance in his house. #SMH

@op, mark my words today and quote me on the 29 of march. This card reader stuff is what is going to destroy apc .just wait and see . Cc : bayswater, MOGIDI

From what I watched on Channels, the problem in Kano State was just at its early stage. But as the exercise progressed, it was perfected. From the thread of Sincerenigerian yesterday, it was said that the failure of the machines was due to the ink and other colours that some northern women use for beautification. The challenge now before the progressives in Kano State and in fact all northern states, is for the various chapters of the APC to sensitize the electorate, especialky discouraging them from using the said beautification ink or substance in their fingers days before the election. On a lighter note now, during the APC rally in Ibadan, the South West coordinator and Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola pleaded with men to abstain from sèx with their wives on the eves of the two election days. This is to ensure that the women have the stamina to file to vote.
Berem, entertain no fear. We can't reduce ourselves to the level of Fani-Kayode, Fayose and Metuh.

Bayswater:


The oracle has spoken, how I wish GEJ can put his foot on the ground and say no to the use of card reader. With the use of card, I forsee APC (Another Problem Coming).

Why would JEGA want to use the 3rd most followed presidential election in the world to test an untested machine?

We can minimise the violence that would follow the elections by jettisoning the use of the card readers.

I know the APC knobheads won't see any reason in this.

onatisi:
bros ,u remember I said it yesterday before the conduct of this mock exercise ,that what apc is banking on to win is what is going to destroy them.

Useless thread


Buhari is a terrorist

GeneralBosco:

The card readers still remain APCs best shot bro no matter what you think. When GEJ was still innocent in 2011, there were more votes in Bayelsa state than accredited voters. Now GEJ has many tyrants behind him, the rigging will be "sacrosanct"

@OP.

No need to panic. Wait for INEC to comprehensively state how they will address areas of deficiency with the use of card readers. It was a success, for example, in Lagos. This is why this test run was conducted . Same way students take part in mock exams to note their deficiency and preparedness for the main exam. Of course the process should not be facing these issues as INEC has had years to prepare for this election and this really is sheer incompetence but that is an issue for another day and time. INEC should now do all in its power to make this election free, fair and as 'unriggable' as possible.

As for your fears, I believe the APC is very prepared for the PDP and will win come what may. One thing against the PDP that is very important, yet the fans of the Party do not account for or understand, is that the political system of leadership and association, both home and abroad, does not want GEJ to carry on as President. This is an under-appreciated but very powerful and influential lobby group. Jonathan is a 'lame Duck' President for many. I personally think his position is untenable.

If all Nigerians think like you, then the country is in trouble. So because the card readers might reduce votes in APC strongholds you are now against it.

You did not check whether the votes reduced in Kano were from the cards kept aside for rigging.

Note that the card reader is designed to reduce votes.

Multiple votes, proxy votes, under age votes are some of the votes to be targeted for reduction. So try to be patriotic and support initiatives that will help in eliminate vote rigging.
