Nigeria is indeed a theatre of absurdities. We keep repeating the same mistakes while expecting different result. If the 2023 presidential election didn't expose the charade called INEC and their madness, then the off-season elections that took place in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states should open the eyes of everyone, including stupid people.

Every incumbent governor was busy rigging blatantly. They no longer attempt to even hide their moves. Instead, they now rig with impunity. After the 2023 election, I personally vowed never to subject myself to the madness organized by INEC again. I watched what happened in Imo State and even Kogi last Saturday and felt justified for taking that stand.

Allowing a sitting president to appoint INEC chairman is like allowing Chelsea to appoint a referee that will officiate their premier league match against Manchester United. The very idea alone is absurd! Another example is like allowing Floyd Mayweather to get a referee that will officiate his fight against Manny Pacquiao. Of course, it would be ridiculous to envisage such. Yet that's what happens in Nigeria!

Even if Tinubu ruins Nigeria to total destruction and millions suffer to death, as long as he is allowed to hire and fire INEC chairman, he will automatically win reelection. Same applies to any sitting president! When a president has such unconditional assurance, there is absolutely no motivation to work for the masses.

Nigerians must stop these madness now. INEC must be truly independent and that will only happen if a neutral body that can't be influenced by the federal government is allowed to appoint INEC chairman. Also, the supreme Court Justice and indeed others at the appeal court should never be appointed by the president.

If this isn't done urgently, before the next election. Then our democracy won't survive.

When people were shouting, "Get your PVCs" and I said the number of PVC holders is never the problem, I was called a fool. I told them that, with a few PVC holders, good leaders will emerge as long as the system is good. I said that an increase in PVC holders will only cause more votes for the bad leaders when the system is bad. Dem no hear.

This is called destructive criticism, not a constructive one. When intelligent people write, they identify the problem and proffer solutions.

Unless you didn't do a project in the university (I am assuming you attended one), you should have learnt this. If you don't profer a solution, you have ended up wasting everyone's time.

You.need to be beheaded if you never complained when Obasanjo Yardua Ebele n Buhari appointed INEC chairman but you are now complaining under Tinubu who is yet to appoint INEC chairman.

You're the one who isn't intelligent, otherwise, you won't expect me to tell you everything. Except you're a baby.

In universities you talked about, lecturers don't teach you everything. You're expected to research more on your own.

I told you the problem and also suggested the solution, yet you're here saying what I don't know.

Didn't I tell you that president must never be allowed to appoint INEC chairman? Which is obviously the problem! Then I said neutral bodies should be the ones to do so, which is the solution!

What else do you need from me? To spoon-feed you?!

Oga, you only created a thread to rant; your brain obviously has no solution to offer.

You didn't write about what we don't know already. The world only respects those who find solutions to problems, not those who constitute nuisance and make noise.

PS: We are done here.
