Trust me, all my phones are fully charged and ready to take as many pictures and make as many videos as possible! So help me!
Nice
my ques is-how are ex-corps members expected to vote since they have now passed out and have gone back to their respective homes.if no solution then u can imagine d number of votes a party must have lose
According to news reports, about so% of NYSC members in the last batch have been recruited to help with the voting process. So, even if parties ‘lost’ votes in some wards, the nation still gains a workforce that’ll assist in ensuring fair elections. Whichever way, we still win.
plss i neeed an answer via my e-mail.tanks
FIRST!!!
Blackberry Pin ke? Blackberry Babes, I phone Babes lol
only in naija oh! God save us
Is Jega kidding me? Are they freaking kidding me? A vendor who was supposed to supply ballot sheets was late because of the diversion of planes to Japan so elections are postponed till Monday. Where they do that at? Seriously? The Japan relief effort has been going on for weeks now…I doubt it has affected businesses and flights in other countries; it should not be affecting our national elections. Is this how he runs his businesses? So people lose days of work and the country loses more productivity. This is terrible, just outright deplorable.
According to an eye witness,before the elction was postponed earlier today,people were shot in two diffent polling station in my village and ballot boxes taken away.I am hoping that reports were made to INEC.Hope people in the grassroots know how to make these reports.
^^…HAHAHAHA!!!! so the government carried out an ‘April Fools day’ today in the country? apparently it fell on April 2nd…..Elections postponed??? Lyk seriously? SMDFH!!! and This a country we’r trying to move forward….#sadstory!!!!
That man is a disgrace to himself and to the country! He must really think people are stupid…”.the plane was diverted to japan” Are u freaking serious?!!??! Only japan, it ddi not branch to libya? are u sure…..Rubbish!!! The problem is No one is held accountable for their actions in Nigeria. He is beyond incompetent , i am thoroughly ashamed and disappointed.. I am not in the country but it pains me nonetheless.
I hope everything gets back on track by Monday. As disappointing as it is to have the elections delayed, it may be better to have it delayed and done right, that ignore the logistical challenges and go ahead on a faulty note. My fear is that anything (and I mean strange things are possible in 9JA) AND A LOT CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN sat and mon. Hope the result sheets are not filled out in someone’s living room over the weekend o…cough* cough* lol
Lol….was told by a friend of mine bck in Nigeria that they’v postponed it again to Saturday….Lwkmd….really dont wanna bliv dat gist but if its true….then the country is on a long thing.
I believe a finger that fits is used to pick the nose! It’s only God knows how it comes out. All said and done, I wish Nigerians goodluck!
It has now been postponed to sat again! God help nigeria
i support u sweetie>>>>pople should b held responsible for d bad things dat dat dey do…..we r tired of hearing sory sory sory ….haba….poeple should b dealt with so oda will learn n improve….its become disheartening d way “SORRY” is being used in our country today….poeple do wateva dey like ..sayin afterall is it not just sorry i ll say…..very vry bad….
so what’s their reason this time, for postponing the elections till Saturday?
stupid pple.wen i was happy i was gonna stay home on monday.
Nigeria, Understand that the real power for Jonathan to flex his muscle and exercise what he believes in only comes once he is elected by the people and not by default. In any case, may the best man win and God’s will for Nigeria prevail. Shalom. x
