Free and Fair Elections in Nigeria: The Election BVAS Should Have an E-Collation System -Chidoka


This will eliminate the widespread arithmetic errors in the elections, and collation officers should sign on the Bvas before manually recording on the EC8A.

  1. It is ridiculous that this is even coming up. A 3 billion Naira investment and they didn’t think it would be necessary for instant collation.
    Even better get verified and make your choose on a digital device that’ll collates and uploads instantly.

  2. What the likes of Osita Chidoka diesnt know is that even INEC is not ready for a free snd fair elections.

    The regulation has checks and balances to regulate these kind of behaviour, and INEC engage personnel for those functions, but when they misbehave, INEC refuses to punish them.

    Most presiding officers are briught in by political parties… names of corp members who attended the trainings are exchanged with local party members 24 hours to deployment.

    INEC has an e-collation app which was used during the 2019 election but the outcome was not admissible in court because the court capitalised on the Electoral Act not acknowledging the use of technology, but in 2023 when the electoral act allows for deployment of technology, INEC decided to leave out the e-collation app to give room fir manipulation.

    Until people start bearing the consequences for their actions and going to jail fir manipulating election results…we will never be able to stop electoral malpractice at the polling unit.

    I stopped working with INEC during elections because i saw an organisation that is set in it's ways and not ready to conduct any free and fair elections…but we must now force their hands before 2027 in order to sanitise our electoral system.

  3. Nice review. A system that wants to work can learn from this and improve on the next round of elections coming soon. But would they? Politicians will always wanna tweak it their way but a working system should punish their willing slaves. We moveeee.

  4. Good work, my brother Chidoka, but the truth is that they won't hear, Nigerians are fantastic criminals and that is why we are finding it difficult to get it right, I know they are already planning how to rig the coming governor election and nothing will still happen😢 I tire for this country

  5. Stories as usual, it's another snatch it, grab ot and run with it. People are going to die by political thugs and inec chairman mamood yakubu with the corrupted judiciary are going to mess it up once again. Nothing positive will ever come out of the elections. Naada

  6. Good Job Mr. Osita for this methodology of verification.

    Of only we can get it more automated so verification can be FASTER and less laborious ( which reduces error – due to error of parralax and/or fatigue perhaps 😂 )

  7. The Myth of Free and fair elections in Nigeria

    Will there ever be free and fair elections . .

    With the INEC themselves being corrupt and every incumbent ( except Jonathan ) being stoip on the "throne" singing "Emi lokan" and their supporters moving along with anti-Igbo hate and Tribalism with audacious expection for benefits just for being Yoruba

    Or just for being Hausa / Fulani

    I find it weird that in Nigeria , it is only Igbo people that are clamouring for MERIT based system of society / politics / commerce etc

    But the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani seem to have a skewed mindset of "It's out turn" or "born to rule"

    In the same country ?

    Something is off surely 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

  8. What MR. Osita Chidoka has done is the most crucial factor the nation needs in making our elections credible!

    Arise News and other news outlets should give voice to this work to make it echo to the appropriate quarters.

    But unfortunately, the way they rush it and say we're running out of time; just like Channels TV did is one of the reasons we're where we are at the moment.

    As a matter of fact, it's these media outlets that should be doing this kind of research as part of their INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM.

    Mr Chidoka haven done the most crucial part of their job for them, I now expect them to push it out massively. Invite resource person after resource person (INCLUDING INEC OFFICIALS) to keep discussing these issues until the RIGHT THING STARTS BEING DONE!

  9. I do not agree with Osita the first time on this his analysis!

    How do you mean that Hope Uzodima of Imo would have still win without the pointed manipulation; unbelievable!

    May be Tinubu would have still win the election despite the result manipulation. Rubbish!

    Like I said, the first time I am totally disagree with Osita whom I believe that he is a brilliant guy.

  10. You people did a poor review. Why not subject those finger print on the ballot papers used on the election day to forensic analysis to ascertain if those ballot papers was thumb printed by those people on INEC database or was it thumb printed by faceless people.

    All the paper used in every election should be properly scrutinised and interrogated to ensure that the right people in the polling units actually voted in that election.

  11. Mr chidioka does inec tell you that they meant well for Nigerias?
    Can Hope uzodimma say that he didn't bribed inec,who voted for uzodimma?
    Please help us and review 2023 presidential election in River state and cause of 2023 glidges.
    Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the only Igbo man that has proven that he can resist Tinubu's bribe.

  12. So this guy just sit here with whitewash bears to convince people to continue fooling their self in the name of voting??
    Greedy man
    He didn't and can never talk of change because he wants a still grip.

  13. Let Nigeria make it a death sentence for vote buying. In many state's governorship election especially the off season elections was characterized by massive vote buying. How can you expect any governor to work when he can pack all the state allocation for four years and massively use part of it to buy vote at the detriment of the state.

    They buy vote as high as N10,000 per vote! Let the people empowered to lynch any individual buying votes in their polling unit because our corrupt police and Ebubeagu operative are aiding and abate this monstrous vote buying that's is frustrating good governance. Some governors has refused to add N1 to workers salary since they entered office, refused to construct roads, refused to empower the farmers, refused to do anything because they know they can comfortably buy votes. Some of them abandons governance and are romancing FG to help them intimidate the people with guns and bullets.

  14. Every issue we have with our elections is INTENTIONAL. Don't tell me INEC does not know these things. The weakest point in our electoral system is HUMAN. 90% of our electoral umpires are DISHONEST. These dishonest election umpires do not want the system to work as designed. It does not matter what system you put in place, as long as the umpires are dishonest, being the weakest link, they destroy the entire electoral system. Maybe going 100% digital will help but there are other issues.
    Here's another thing to consider. INEC works for corrupt candidates. What's the deal with penalizing the good guy? In an election, the bad guy gets his votes from his favorable polling units, no issue here. Then he sends his thugs to go to his opponents strong polling units and cause problem. INEC cancels the election in these polling units, giving the bad guy 100% of his votes while denying the good guy 100% of his votes from his strong areas. How about INEC insists that election must hold even if it means rescheduling on a later day and providing enhanced security to ensure people vote.
    How about thugs openly denying registered voters the opportunity to vote (all happening in front of law enforcement agents)? Our court system will tell us these things are ok.
    I do not see us ever getting it right as long as criminals are in charge of our government. You can do all the analytics you want, that will not change a damn thing.
    Finally, if this current APC had issue with protesters, saying they want to effect a change of government, how about people that manipulate, falsify, and rig election? Are these things not treasonable offences? Curious why our law makers have not made these treasonable offences? At the very least, I would want a law maker to introduce this legislation and let the country know those that will oppose it.

  15. Until there are severe penalties for those using unfair practices to win elections democracy is a joke. Those cheating on elections should be charged with treason. The judiciary making judgements and not factual decisions are among the culprits. Why? They have taken the rights of the citizens and cause damage to the Nation .
    This man is speaking about INEC. INEC is an arm of the politicians to steal elections after receiving bribes. INEC and all it's officials must be put in jail. It is impossible for anyone outside of Nigeria to take voting in Nigeria as a practice in democracy.

  16. You should have done a screen/pictorial analysis of how you did it at Channels tv for better understanding. Pity AriseTv did not provide the facility. Weldon though

  17. INEC should not announce any provisional result until the final review is done.This is because it is a recipe for anarchy to announce 'party A' winner in the provisional announcement of result, then after the review, you announce another party as winner.
    However, good job from Mr Chidoka there.
