    After this election this man deserves a national honor, always resolute, accepting blames due him and never passing the buck.

    3. Indeed he is a Great man? Oh and he said the card readers could have been tampered with...which is what I suspect esp in d case of the first family where I voted it was such a smooth exercise everything was done on tym and in such an orderly manner...so pls let's check the cards that are being rejected by these card readers.

    4. Question is, is the president using a cloned card? Was he registered in the first instance? Leave Jega alone pls.

      Delete
    5. Read your input again. It lacks the basic intellect a human should have. So all the cards that failed are cloned. Or just that of the President?

I guess he sent all the not doing well card readers to the south and south west to disenfranchise pro Jonathan/PDP. GEJ all the way!!!

  68. Card readers were apparently failing often at a polling booth near an Accenture staff's home. And the guy couldn't understand why...cos the readers were all new. So he approached the INEC woman. Inspected the reader. Only to find the protective film on the lense of the reader had not been removed. After a protracted argument he convinced the woman to remove it. The reader not only read the prior rejected cards, it was reading with even faster response time. Please share n let's reclaim Naija together. Mods do the needful

  80. National embarrassment? I don't think so!!
    I believe what happened was a deliberate attempt at buttressing the long held PDP narrative that card readers should not be used at all.
    Overzealous PDP apparatchiks simply replaced the first couple's cards with unreadable dummies just for the premium negative publicity.
    Either that or the gods are so incensed with Jonathan (for failing us all so badly) that they chose to embarrass him with the whole world watching.

  81. The turn out has been quite large? And you called the number of life lost peaceful,What where you expecting? Still, with the life's lost it was not a successful one. Shame on you mr Jega, you are among those that work towards the downfall of president GEJ.
