Nigeria Decides: Governor Amaechi fails to vote

Rivers State Governor and Director General of the Buhari/Osinbanjo Campaign Organisation Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi could not exercise his franchise early today at his ward 8, unit 14, Ubima in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state due to unavailability of INEC results sheets.

The governor had at about 10:05 a.m Saturday arrived Ubima for accreditation but was reliably informed by the polling clerk of ward 8,unit 14 that there were no result sheets at the polling unit to collate the data of total votes cast after voting, a development which discouraged the governor from participating in the INEC accreditation and voting exercise.

A statement signed by the governor’s spokesman Mr. David Iyofor said, governor Amaechi could not participate in the accreditation and voting exercise because of unavailability of INEC result sheets in the polling unit.

The statement further said, the risk of participating in the INEC accreditation without the result sheets would pave way for election riggers to have a field day in the manipulation of the election results.

The APC members in the area had before the governor’s arrival refused to be accredited by the polling clerk due to lack of result sheets. They protested when the governor arrived. The governor also learnt that the INEC result sheets were not available in all wards of Ikwerre local government area and most polling units in the state.

Election Will Continue Tomorrow – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been monitoring field reports on the accreditation process since the commencement of the poll this morning. Whereas the process has gone on well in several places, in some others it has encountered some challenges, especially with the use of the card readers. Consequently, accreditation has been slow in many places and has not commenced at all in some others.

Even though the Guidelines for the Conduct of the 2015 general elections provide that where card readers fail to work and cannot be replaced, elections in such Polling Units will be postponed to the following day, the scale of the challenge we have observed today has necessitated a reconsideration of this provision of the Guidelines. The Commission has, therefore, decided as part of the Guidelines for the Conduct of the 2015 general elections that in Polling Units where card readers have so failed to work, the Presiding Officer shall manually accredit voters by marking the register of voters, upon being satisfied that the person presenting a Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) is the legitimate holder of the card.

The above not withstanding, in Polling Units where accreditation was suspended to the following day in accordance with the existing Guidelines, arrangements will be made for voters to vote tomorrow, subject to the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended).

 

The Commission reassures the voting public that it will thoroughly investigate what happened, while it remains committed to the delivery of free, fair and credible elections in spite of the challenges.

Liberia's first Ebola patient in over a month dies: official

Monrovia (AFP) - A Liberian woman who last week became the country's first Ebola patient in more than a month has died, a senior official said Saturday, adding that two new suspected cases had been identified.

The woman, who was diagnosed with Ebola on March 20, is the wife of a cured patient. The case was a setback to hopes that Liberia, once the worst-hit country, would be free of the epidemic soon.

"The last Ebola case died yesterday. She did not make it," Francis Karteh, the head of Ebola Incident Management Team in Liberia told AFP.

"Beside that, we have no confirmed case now in the country. Only two suspected cases for now. We are surveying 80 persons who were in the vicinity of the lady who died," he said.

Liberia has recorded more than 4,300 Ebola deaths but was at an advanced stage of recovery, expecting to be declared Ebola-free by mid-April before the latest case in the capital Monrovia.

Since the outbreak began in December 2013, more than 24,000 people in nine countries have been infected with the virus, and over 10,000 of them have died.

All but a handful of those deaths have occurred in Liberia and its neighbours, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

But the tide seemed to have turned in Liberia, which six months ago was reporting more than 300 new cases a week.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced earlier this month that no new case of the deadly virus had been registered in Liberia since February 19.

Mr. Fashola rocked an all white outfit with his signature sunglases and a smile that appears to have charmed the rest of voters in attendance. His wife is in front of him.

Speaking in a recent interview, Mrs. Fashola explained how they both overcame their religious differences.

"We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him." she said.

Ndani TV Host, Onos O Stars in Mafaa- A Visual Story by QD Salami

NDANI TV HOST "ONOS O" STARS IN "MAAFA - A VISUAL STORY BY QD SALAMI

Maafa [A Swahili Word] is used to describe the history and ongoing effects of atrocities inflicted on African people including other forms of physical and mental oppression, sometimes self-inflicted, to the present day.
Budding photographer, QD Salami says he was inspired by the recent social media uproar on the issues of modern day depiction of slaveryand colourism. "As much asthe African holocaust is treated as a continuous history, worthy of an ongoing discourse, In my opinion, which is utterly subjective, we as Africans in general need to let go of some of the horrible past." He says. 
"Granted, it wasn’t the best of times and we have overcome it to a large extent, but we truly need to let go of the metal shackles left. As said by Assata Shakur “To Become Truly Free, One Has To Be Acutely Aware Of Being Enslaved” ". This here is QD Salami's little interpretation of Maafa, which ironically also means “Keep Pulling At It” in Yoruba language.
