  We had so long been experiencing strong rifts that emerge out from any kind of elections in africa, if it could be district, parliament or mainly presidential ones, remember latest elections in Kenya and the bitter dispute between its premier and president which claimed many innocent lives. what so ever, what would you react if part of the competents became sceptical and launch violations? how far do you think that you would be concerned if such unrest changes complete image of political platform of the country? finally, could you-in detail-express you optimism to your listeners?
  
  thanks

  I have no question to ask, but I want the Chairman of Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission to remember that electoral fraud begins with the registration of voters. Therefore the exercise should be carefully monitored. I wish all Nigerians well.

  As much as I would like a free & fair election, we must be professional in our daily deeds. Labelling the INEC Chair is not the issue; the man can only do so much in a country ridden with impunity and corruption.
  
  In the last re-run in Delta State, the REC should be apportioned blame not the INEC chair! The bottom line is how we as a people can get rid of the ruling party for life.
  Mr. INEC Chair, please do your very best and do not allow your integrity to be compromised.

  How informed are Nigerians on the consequences of electoral malpractices. We have seen cases of elections being cancelled on the basis of malpractices and the perpetrators and beneficial going free without punishment. What is the commission doing to avoid the occurrence of such? What is the commission doing to make sure there is a strict compliance to the electoral laws?

  1. As usual, election in Nigeria is usually characterized with massive rigging; the election riggers are well known and are rewarded instead of punished. Please are you making any moves to punish the arm robbers of the people mandate (i.e. election riggers)?
  2. Presently average Nigerian has loose confidence in the countries election process. Do you think you commission effort is enough to restore peoples confidence?
  3. The inefficiency of the voter registration exercise has raised a serious problem to the success of this year’s general election. Mr Chairman how sure are you the commission will be able to solve the problem?

  Nigeria is now in the front role of nations mediating in the Ivory Coast Elections crisis. my question now is, Will INEC not leave us in the same situation we find in Cote D'Ivoire today, if they refused to correct the mistakes of the past?
  We all know, that we have record of bad elections in Nigeria, how can there ever be a free and fair elections in our nation? On a serious note with all the Political killings, should it not be questioned first this time in Nigeria, Democracy means life not death for those who believe in it. We all are only hoping that Goodluck Jonathan will make a diffirence in Africa.

  I have been listening to the chairman's explanations concerning the chaotic voters' registration exercise in Nigeria. I think that INEC did not adequately train its ad-hoc staff on the use of such machines; the staff should have been trained for atleast one month before the exercise. One question for the Prof, When will Nigerians resident in foreign countries exercise their franchise during the general elections?

  Actually, I am not too bothered about election rigging in Nigeria; so long as the judiciary is up to the task of reversing disputed results. Elections rigging and defective population census had always been part of the system ever before the country’s independence from Great Britain. In fact, I do not believe there is any country in the world where elections are totally free and fair. Every form of rigging, either scientific (western countries style) or Crude (developing countries style) are always perpetuated by various country’s politicians and the establishment. And not the poor citizen on the street or the electoral commission. Where one politician outsmarts the other, then the losing side will either accept defeat, as a good looser or cry wolf as a bad looser. The fact remains that both are guilty of the same offence. Therefore, my advice to the electoral commission chairman is to do his best and live the rest. As to whether there will be crisis in Nigeria after the elections as in Ivory coast? No! No!! No!!!, everybody should please hold their breath. There can never be any crisis in the country again.. Nigerians are wiser now than before. The general believe is that all politicians anywhere in the world are one and the same. The establishment determines who becomes the president or the prime minister. It does not matter who the citizen prefer.. They own the private media, so they tell you what they want and you believe. So why should the people kill themselves.
