I cannot believe corpers would risk their lives for a re-run in Rivers knowing how unstable the state is. Even during the general elections, Rivers wasn't spared from electoral violence....the snatching & gunshots I witnessed in Orhionmwon LG, Edo is enough memories for a lifetime. |

Thank God for your life @OP. If i was in your shoes, the build up wouldn't have allowed me participate at all. It was always going to be bloody! God help us. |

HALIX16: Even more baffling is the role of the POLICEMEN attached as Security to these Corpers! How do three Police Men DISAPPEAR........ from those they are supposed to protect? Is there any reason attaching Police Men to such situations if all they will do is STAND IDLY BY OR DISAPPEAR? Same thing happened in Mile 12 in lagos when Police Men stood-by and DID NOTHING while those Hausa Thugs burned people alive in their homes! These Police Men are saboteurs and should be treated so. Any Police Man that fails his responsibility (Protecting Citizens in danger) should be arrested, sacked, court martialed and jailed. Enough is Enough! Those Corpers could have been killed due to the CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE OF SOME POLICE MEN! Lastpage! |

A man who threatened to unleash blood if he didn't win an election is definitely a blood thirsty man and blood letting will surely trail his administration as he has started demonstrating. |

The thing is that NYSC don't even force corpers to participate as adhoc staff I wonder why someone would see danger and go into it with arms wide stretched. I was a corper in akuku toru LGA during the governorship election but I refused to participate in all that inec shit. They give u small money and risk ur fucking life. Its not worth it. 2 Likes |

missingrib:I use to think that corpers are forced into conducting elections. Never knew they do it willingly. Because I don't see how after reading stories of corper killed during election, I will carry these my two tiny legs and my big head to go and take part in any election activities. No way |

macaranta: The APO II took unnecessary risk. She should have listened to the PO and given them the ballot papers and results sheet, then go to the LGA to report and have election cancelled for that unit. I hope they didn't harm her. |

Re: Rivers Rerun: Corps Member's Experience As INEC Worker by poseidon12: 7:27am On Mar 21, 2016 |
gykes: From the story, it seems that one party snatched the ballot box and the rival party did the kidnapping of the corp member. Since the area is a stronghold of the APC (according to you), I would think PDP did the snatching of ballot box, while the APC did the kidnapping. |

When I was serving, my mum called me and said, "my son, stay away from anything related to Nigerian elections. Stay away from campaigns, rallies, voting and monitoring." Three weeks after that, five corp members were killed in my local government. The next morning my mum called me, "my son where are you?" I replied that I dey house dey sleep. Actually, I did not open my house since the election started. I don't joke with anybody wey no dey understand my language. That's the same pattern they're using. One group will snatch the election materials, the other group will pretend to be good to the electoral officers. They will tell you that it's the opposition party that snatched the election materials and they will offer you a free ride out of town knowing fully well that you will accept the offer since fear Don catch you. Now be vigilant and observe that the police will rush and enter one vehicle while all or at least one electoral officer, especially the one that has the power to sign the electoral materials will be made to enter a different vehicle. Three or two hours later the deed is done. One of them will follow the electoral officer to the local government area or Council to ensure that the electoral officer submit the electoral materials. If you try to prove stubborn by not submitting the electoral materials or try to be smart or try to play a fast one on them, you will found yourself dead the next morning. So wise ones like us stayed away from Nigerian elections during our service year and afterwards. 2 Likes |

From this narrative....if it is true....i will not be surprised if this unnamed 'politician' the corner was being asked to go and see is also behind the initial ballot box and election material snatching hoodlums. Why will you request that they say it was a particular party that came a-snatching? Did they wear the party flag on their head? I smell something fishy... |
Re: Rivers Rerun: Corps Member's Experience As INEC Worker by gykes(m): 7:52am On Mar 21, 2016 |
poseidon12: Nope sir, that's not entirely correct...Emuoha being an APC stronghold doesn't directly mean they have more numbers there. It's just one place you have a sizeable APC support base capable of giving PDP a run for her money. |

viviangist2: OP, why are you not bold enough to mention the name of the party responsible for the tieing of your PO? From your story, anybody that is from Rivers State or knows Rivers can deduce the party and Senatorial candidate responsible for your ordeal. Let me state here that the Senatorial contest for Rivers East, of which Emohua is part of has Sekibo ( an OKrika man) for the PDP and Andrew Uchendu (an Ikwerre man from Emohua) for the APC. So the party agent that wants to take you to his Senatorial candidate in the same Emohua on election day must be from the APC. Be bold and say it the way it is. It's APC that truncated the process in your polling unit. |

whatever happens is as a result of the supreme court ruling, its a shame that those that are suppose to be the poor man's hope have put them in harms way. I ask this question why did the legislature appropriate money for the card readers, |

It's shameful that Buhari can not protect the lives of Rivers people during the elections. APC indeed are noise makers. Amaechi can not protect his supporters-Police men running away,yet he carries a battalion of soldiers with him everywhere he goes. APC shame. |

Niyinficient: iLAff. So, Vivian Gist is now the tribunal to go to. How sure are you of who the OP is How do you vet these stories You think the trained media personnel do not know what they do before publishing stories I can say, you can say, however, what is right is right, what is wrong is wrong. By the time the people authority want to use the law(s) against him or her, go help the dude. This is Nigeria abeggi. By the way, when discussing online, learn or pretend to respect people's opinion. You have a healthier argument when you face the issues objectively. |
