A 20-year-old boy, Chikamso Chizoba Amalu has completed working on his auto mobile project which he started some years back.

Chikamso, who was on a test ride of the vehicle in Lagos street on Thursday told ABN TV that even though his father has not fully given his backing to the project, he persisted in doing it, saying it gives him happiness.

Popularly known as A.C.C Whizzy, Chikamso revealed that he made a helicopter in Enugu in the year 2013 which he flew to the surprise of many.


He said lack of financial capacity has slowed the process of putting finishing touches on the helicopter project.

He admitted that there were errors in his previous invention but said he has developed a road map to make it more effective.

Chikamso said his agenda in 2020 is to invent what he called auto robotic spider that can maneuver traffic logjam through its wings.

See my guy, fly the helicopter again and post the video. Even if you never build am finish, fly am like that and put the video.
..
Again, be quick with your robotic spider invention. We will need it in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, I'm not a wailer.. And this thread is not a wailing thread, neither is it a thread for wailing (or wailers)..
The reason I am sounding this warning here is for those people that may click into the thread just to derail off the point in their arguments - Either by wailing, or by calling other people wailers.

I may not know the full content of the Electoral Bill - as amended, which was not passed into law before the 2019 general elections.. But, it is very important for the National Assembly to revise the bill again, and add a serious clause for ”public disclosure of the fully detailed results” within 3 months or less from the time the elections were concluded, failure of which attracts severe sanctions to INEC or any relevant body that brought about the delay.

Nbote:
Are U sure INEC has a record of d figures dey made up as d final results? They are still trying to reconcile d figures dey announced with d actual election figures

Well, INEC should answer all queries that are in connection with the elections and the results..
But the truth is, it is high time INEC started making the results public.
Nigerians are entitled to the full detailed results after the elections.
It is not something that should be hidden

INEC (@inecnigeria) posted the thread below on twitter on the 30th of June, 2018.
This means that INEC knew the right things to be done when it comes to the Freedom of Information Act, but they don't do them.

They’re still cooking the figures!

We will continue to wait for them.
Whenever they are ready, let them just publish it..
We need the details more than the results itself, (but they would never know.)
They thought we are just interested in the winners and losers.

Some time around middle of August, I was arguing with my friends, whether INEC was empowered by the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act to publish on their website, the fully detailed election results of all the positions for which elections were held, even down to the Polling-Unit results...
Thus, does the constitution empower the citizens to conveniently browse the INEC website for the election results and click into any L.G.A, or Ward, or even any polling unit of choice, and see the full detailed result for the House of Assembly election, or that of the Senatorial election in that same polling unit.??
..
Some of my friends argued that INEC only has the powers to conduct elections and then declare the winners, and nothing more. That they are not under any obligation to publish the whole results since the results from all the lower levels of collation could now be regarded as “Sensitive” or “Classified”, and thus, only the final results are necessary.
Others argued that it could be a tedious task for INEC, and thus, the least they can even publish is the L.G.A level results.
(We argued this topic just some few days before I bumped into a news publication by Premium Times that supported the fact that INEC should publish the fully detailed results down to the polling units.)
..
Nevertheless, before we read the full news article as published by Premium Times, I would need more opinions from fellow Nairalanders, and our Lawyers on Nairaland.. Let us share our own opinions on this.
..
Is it the right thing for INEC to publish the fully detailed results of all the elections on their website?
Is INEC mandated by the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act to publish the full results on their website?
And also, at what level of collation would they start to publish the results? (That is, if you agreed that they should publish the detailed results)
....

(HERE BELOW IS THE NEWS PUBLISHED BY PREMIUM TIMES..)

SIX MONTHS AFTER NIGERIANS ELECTED NEW LEADERS, THE INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION, INEC, IS YET TO UPLOAD THE DETAILED RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS ON ITS WEBSITE


Nigeria held presidential and national assembly elections on February 23, while governorship and state assembly elections were conducted on March 9.

As at August 18, however, only the final results of the presidential election (total votes scored by each candidate) had been uploaded by the electoral commission. 

View HERE
for the final Presidential Election Results.

Even for the presidential election, details of votes scored in each state or local governments are yet to be uploaded by the commission.

For governorship and parliamentary elections, the electoral commission is yet to upload any results. Rather, it only published the list of the eventual winners of the elections. 

..
VIOLATING THE LAW

Publishing of results of an election is mandatory on INEC, which has the responsibility for elections across Nigeria except for local government elections.

Section 71 of the Electoral Act states that INEC “shall cause to be posted on its notice board and website a notice showing the candidates at the election and their scores, and the person declared as elected or returned at the election.”

It is not clear if INEC’s refusal to publish the detailed results has any link to the criticisms that trailed the election results. Over half of the election results are being challenged in court.

Also, The Situation Room, a coalition of 72 civil society organisations that monitored the elections, in its final report questioned many of the figures declared by INEC as the final results of the election.

“Data in the voters’ register, as well as results figures declared by INEC, threw up several glaring discrepancies that have yet to be explained. There were also differences between the number of accredited voters and the total number of votes cast in many polling units. In a similar vein, Situation Room observed that there was significantly more votes casts in the presidential elections than was cast in the National Assembly elections which took place simultaneously with the presidential election.

“Furthermore, a close scrutiny of the registration numbers given by INEC reveals discrepancies between the total number of registered voters announced before the election and the total number of registered voters announced by INEC during the collation in 30 of Nigeria’s 36 states,” the civic coaltion said.

When contacted last week on the reason the results are yet to be uploaded, INEC spokesperson, Festus Okoye said, “the officials at the headquarters are yet to resume fully from the Sallah break.”

“When they do by Monday, I would find out and get back to you”, he added.

INEC’s inaction on the results has, however, been condemned by civil society groups

“Unfortunately, INEC (has) neglected to make public, detailed breakdown of the election results — including voided votes. This is part of a more worrying trend,” Idayat Hassan of the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) said.

“One of the most noticeable and avoidable missteps INEC has made following the 2019 election is its refusal to publish detailed election results on its website.

“Much like it did in 2007 general elections, INEC has only published national-level totals for 2019 presidential elections, choosing to keep sub-national results data hidden from public view.

“It is high time civic groups and the press start making use of the Freedom of Information Act Requests to compel INEC to publish full and detailed results data for all elections held since 2015,” Ms Hassan, whose group monitored the elections across Nigeria, said.

In his reaction, a lawyer, Monday Ejeh, said INEC’s inaction may be because there is no punlshment for not publishing the detailed results.

Mr Ejeh said there are two types of laws: the ones backed with sanctions, and the ones not backed with sanctions.

“In other words, when the law says – if you do this, you would suffer this, that means there are consequences for it; and then, the ones without sanctions.

“Talking of sanctions, a sanction can be negative, for example, imprisonment, an option of fine and so on, or it could be positive, meaning if you do this, you would get this or be promoted.

“But, that section (mandating publish of election results) is just hanging, there are no sanctions attached to it.

“So, those who are interested in getting the result from the website, there is one option, to approach the court and seek an order of the court, mandating INEC to upload the result.

“You may reach them to know what their reasons are, although there is no excuse. That section mentions notice board and website, so, if INEC comes to say “on all the voting centres, we pasted this result”, it may suffice for posting on their notice boards, but the question is, does INEC even have a notice board?

“If they have, where are they stationed? I do not think in every INEC office you go to, there are notice boards. So, these are issues, because, sometimes we make these laws, but we don’t care to follow them in compliance.”

“I am not sure if they have been complying before. I am not sure about that,” the lawyer added.

Anyways, she enjoyed the hit that scored.
That's what matters now.

bbstarr:


Lol. When I opened the account, I saw sexy as a normal word just like beautiful but now I realised sexy means when someone is appealing in a Sexual way. I don't want to be seen that way because I'll soon start using this account for my business.

Ok then. I guess I will have to follow this one.

bbstarr:

No sir, I deactivated the former one. The sexy I added before the bbstar is irritating to me.

Wooww..
Sounds like, “you no more like the fact that you are too sexy”?

Nice one.
I guess this is an alternative account of yours??

hahn:


Same thing that happened before we were born.

NOTHING.

We simply cease to exist

Wonderful.
Please put me through on these three other similar cases.
1. Do spirits (or ghosts) exist?
2. Dead people appearing in peoples' dreams to give instructions, why are they still existing inside peoples' dreams??
3. Finally, a dead person somewhere, somehow got to somewhere else and continued living and even got married..
...
I would like to know exactly how the experience afterlife really is.
I must not experience it myself in order to know.

hahn:
The most humbling feeling is knowing one will eventually die

I know you are not a christian, and that is why I want to ask you this, so that I can learn from your own point of view.
So, what really happens at Death?

E no go pass “Man-And-Woman” matter.
She no dey last for relationships, and she got to realise that money doesn't determine everything inside relationships... (That is, judging by how her little sister and Eazi are eszily progressing.)

If you must give, give silently.

Iamgrey5:
This is fake news.

The Nigerian embassy has the right to prosecute them


How can beating up someone be equal to demonstrating freedom.

It is called physical asualt which attracts fines and prison time.

Does it attract shooting, teargassing, and forceful detention?

ensamy:
So meaning other such Politicians can be beaten like Ekweremadu and no arrests will be made. Ok Beating time !!!!
WHO WILL BE NEXT!!!!!!!!

EXACTLY.!!
SO, WHO IS NEXT TO BE BEATEN?

Afamed:

It's left for you to believe which ever news that romances your narration

Those at the embassy are Nigerian Political Appointees, sheey??
Ok naa.
They must release statements that would make them retain their positions.

daewoorazer:



Bro, stop chestbeating, this ain’t the reason man... in simple terms, Germany Understands


1. No one is above the law
2. Believes freedom of speech and expression is human right
3. Doesn’t give a damn Bleep about the adjective ‘politician’

So, why won't our dearly beloved country Nigeria understand the same thing too??
Guy was actually chestbeating on behalf of Germany.

goodgirl2409:


We have talked severally but nothing has changed. Every month, he puts up this attitude like 3 three weeks in a month, 1 week, things maybe normal.

Something is deeply troubling him and eating off his happiness, and you have not figured it out yet.
He might not be bringing you into it yet, because he might be the type of man who doesn't see their wives as mate/helper.
And the fact that he doesn't have the solution to the problem all figured out yet, he sees your pestering as part of his problems.

muyinet:


Then don't use the account.
I can't see any reason to be worried

You know, I never liked GTB for anything.
And that was why I never had anything to do with them all the while., and I still don't want to have anything to do with them.
Thus, now they have my details against my wish, I am beginning to get worried who else that might have information about me, and what they might be doing with it.
You may see it as very Simple, but I see it as potential danger.

BetaJobNG:



GTB is paying customers #100 for reffering a customer to open account. So, someone somewhere just opened an account for you to get #100

So, because of ordinary N100, someone decided to sell my whole data??
This is Betrayal.

U1:


If the N450 charge was true, I'd say you didn't do enough to have it refunded. You can report them to the CBN, if you think you did enough to try and get your money back. Cost per SMS is N4, does it mean they sent you more that 100 SMSes in one month? No bank dare try that with me.

As for those whom accounts were opened for without requesting, simply contact the bank to close those accounts, report to the CBN or sue it! It's simple, isn't it? Many Nigerians fail to take action when they need to, preferring to just make noise to themselves. This is one of the reasons evil seems to be on the rise in the country.

But it's surprising to see some complaints about GTB, though. I opened my first bank account with this bank and the experience - overall - has been the best, compared to the others I have (had) accounts with.

Thanks for the bolded parts.
1. I contacted the bank, they have not closed the account yet, and from their responses, I don't think they intend to close it anytime soon..... Contacting CBN would be my next option.
2. My coming online is not really for noise making. But for wider views, so I can know what next move to make.

9jaPromo:
Dey do pay 100 for each customer u bring....
It's real

So, because of ordinary N100, someone decided to sell my whole data??
This is Betrayal.

oluplus:
This is unacceptable. Well Fargo bank in USA did something similar by opening unsolicited additional accounts for their existing customers. Case was taken up by the Regulators and they were fined heavily. It is not just right
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2016-09-09/wells-fargo-opened-a-couple-million-fake-accounts

This is more like it..

princeakinola1:
Somebody that have you details on your behave,in other to collect 100naira,so is not gtbank or scam,it's real,i did the same thing for my wife

So, because of ordinary N100, someone decided to sell my whole data??
This is Betrayal..
Those people who did that to their loved ones should be called Judas Isphonic..

gypsey:
If you noticed an Account have been opened in your name, Go to GTB, complain and close the Account. simple!!

They refused to close the account..
So, it's not as simple as you are trying to put it.

seunnuga:
This is no scam.
It's purely leveraging on BVN database which I think all banks have access to. Your BVN record contains your Names, phone number, Bank accounts, and Picture. The only thing that may be wrong was creating bank accounts without the knowledge of the person and as an IT guy, I know your account can be created on request via the USSD code.
They were just trying to be "Technologically" Smart and proactive such that with the use of a USSD code, you can have an account created without stepping into the halls of the bank.

But I did not dial any USSD Code.
That's the point.

CaptainFM1:
I don't in anyway speak for GTB, but one thing I certainly know is that you have approached this case very badly.

1. To start with, you do not table your query to the bank for proper investigation. Much as the bank need to protect peoples data, modern information breaches could come from any angle. And in most cases, usually from people very close to us. Or perhaps, there's possibility that you could also have been careless with your own info and data, such that it got into the wrong hands.

2. Secondly, you made a VERY BIG mistake by doing a "test transfer" to an account you don't know simply because you want to investigate. It is not your job to conduct investigation. All you need to do is to table your concern to the bank and/or the Police. The bank has mechanisms for conducting internal investigation with a view to resolving such cases.

3. Whilst you may have a genuine concern, you should exercise care before raising issues on social media especially cases that requires thorough investigation. Posting such in the media could jeopardize the investigation, and also,could serve to the ultimate advantage of the culprit/scammers.

If an individual or cartel within the bank is at fault, they will be dealt with accordingly upon investigation. And if the bank is found to be corporately at fault, then the CBN would penalised them accordingly.

1. I went to the bank. And the customer-care-unit was aware that such account was opened by them, and that they intended it for my use.

2. The “transfer” can only happen after I have confirmed the name and clicked “transfer”.. I saw my name and aborted the procedure. So, what “test transfer” were you referring to?

3. Now it is on social media, they can now close the millions of unsolicited accounts they opened for millions of unsuspecting citizens for No reason... That is, if they can even fish out the accounts..

Vizzy4u:
Coming to NL to wail will do nothing rather admin would be glad to generate more traffic. Nevertheless, i dont work with/support Gtbank in this situation but its VERY bad to come and tarnish their name. I've started banking with them for over a year now and all i can say are praises most esp to their "customer service". I'm over 100% about to keep my fbn acct to take some fresh air when my atm expires in October for them. Pls if u have any issue with them; CONTACT THEM and dont spoil their name. Maybe it scammers or some bad eggs in d bank.
P.s no one should quote and spill rubbish if not i'll call my lawyer lets work on a case of infringement of freedom of speech abi na expression sef

I have contacted them physically, they have not closed the account yet.
I will contact them now through email and twitter.
I will copy and tag CBN in both.

oluwasegun007:
I can't see anywhere on the write up where you contacted their customer care for explanation...

I did.
I went to the bank.. And I met with their customer care..
And yes, they accepted that they opened the account for me in my name, and intended it to be my account, and for me to use it as my account.
But then, they couldn't explain how they got my number and my name. They also couldn't explain why they opened the account, and what purpose the account should serve me.
They were just busy trying to preach to me so that I can accept the account.. That's All
