Fellow Nigerian, The gangsters ruling the country have turned elections into a do or die affair,  resulting in a threat to the nation’s unity. This violence must, and will stop if the everyday Nigerians exercise the powers vested in them in a democracy.

The first action Nigerians must take to guarantee a change in the nation’s electoral system is to make sure Nigerians of voting age, register to vote. With the ideals of the RevNig Movement (RevNig) coming to Nigeria’s rescue, your vote will never again be a ruse. Successive elections will be different.  We urge those who have not registered to do so and join RevNig’s 20 million+ voters’ force to demand the electoral changes we desire.

Registering to vote and joining the 20 million+ voters’ force will empower the movement to ensure:

1. That we elect credible leaders in positions of authority.
2. That we can force our leaders to do what is best for the nation
3. That we can demand the electoral changes that will guarantee peaceful and transparent elections

If you are a Nigerian of age 18 and above, and you want to relieve Nigeria of the misery she undergoes during elections, you must go and register now and be prepared to cast your vote for the chosen ones in future elections.

Following RevNig’s plan, more than 20 million like-minded voters will vote in unison for chosen candidates or be voted into positions of authority.

Join the RevNig Movement now! Remember, ” Stop grumbling. Stop crying. We are going to press on. We have work to do.“–Barack Obama.

Fellow Nigerian, the most vital stage of vigilance in the electoral process is making sure that our votes have value. If our votes count, we will be certain that those chosen to serve us, and not those who are imposed on us, win elections.

Then how do we ensure that our votes indeed count?

Many have proffered solutions on how best we can conduct a free, fair, and credible elections. There is no doubt that the introduction of the Electronic Voting System —  Card Reader and the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) —  has revolutionised our electoral system, but they are not free from glitches and manipulations. Read more about introducing CCTV and body cameras in voting centres here.

We must move further to back up the effectiveness of the Electronic Voting System by ensuring the introduction of polling booth (CCTV) and body cameras that will record and stream activities on each polling unit live to anyone that joins in the stream. These cameras will record the number of votes as well as any electoral malpractice or violence at the polling area.

In future elections, the RevNig Movement (RevNig) will be demanding the introduction of CCTV and body cameras in polling booths to ensure credible polls as well as promote accountability and transparency.

Mission 4c: Introducing CCTV and Body Cameras in Voting Centres

Mission 4d: Using Electronic Electoral Databases to Checkmate Crooks

 

 

Fellow Nigerian, though revolutionary, the Electronic Voting System is not foolproof. It is vulnerable to attack: It could be hacked, corrupted, manipulated or it may as well malfunction. No doubt by now, election riggers are perfecting ways to corrupt the newly introduced voting system.  However, no matter how sinister the riggers intentions are, the introduction of cameras in polling centres will unveil the plans and provide transparent backup details.

Introducing Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) and body cameras in polling centres will further authenticate poll results. If cameras are placed in polling booths overlooking the ballot boxes during voting, then citizens will have a first-hand account of the voting process.

The cameras overlooking the ballot boxes will be recording and may be streaming live to Nigerians the number of votes each candidate or party is getting. That will eliminate any form of result sheets manipulations thereafter at the collation centres because the results will have been in the public domain.

Furthermore, these cameras will help deter troublemakers: touts and thugs who intend to vote multiple times, as well as those who want to make trouble or snatch ballot boxes. They will then know that they will be identified.

Additionally, body cameras, worn by security personnel, will not only monitor the voting process but also the conduct of the electoral and security officials. Revealing collusion, if any, between security men, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and any candidate or political party.

In case of any legal dispute, camera footages from the CCTV cameras overseeing the voting process as well as the body cameras, worn by security and electoral agents, will help judges in making the right decisions in court as they oversee electoral and security misconducts.

The RevNig Movement will provide digital video recorders (DVR) for each polling unit across Nigeria in future elections. With a projection of more than 20 million supporters, RevNig will achieve this goal if each one of us donates as little as 50 cents.

No matter how much we spend in monitoring elections, it is not wasted. It is entirely justified because it is where the ruination of Nigeria starts. It is where we give opportunities to irresponsible leaders to rig and ruin our country. That is where the fight against corruption and misgovernance must start.

Fellow Nigerian, with your support we will sanitise our nation’s electoral system. We will eliminate electoral malpractice. We will relax the threat of war in every election cycle. We will silence bad election losers who make the country ungovernable by inciting hate, fuelling ethnic, religious or regional divisions.

With joint efforts, we will make Nigeria’s electoral system the envy of the world.

Please endeavor to join us now!

Mission 4d: Using Electronic Electoral Databases to Checkmate Crooks

Determining and Finding Credible Nigerians to Lead

Voters’ Checklist: Screening and Choosing Nigerian Leaders

Virtues of a Revolutionary Leader: Leaders Nigeria Need Today

Fellow Nigerian, an added way to checkmate our corrupted electoral system is by scrutinising voters’ database. Card readers may be a good way of verifying the authenticity of a voter, but it will not recognise malpractices such as ghost, underage or foreign voters.

To counter these deficiencies of card readers, the RevNig Movement (RevNig) is urging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to grant access to the Electronic Electoral Databases to designated groups- Groups that will continually scrutinise the database, examining who is on the list and the number of voters in parts of the country.

By making the voters’ list available,  INEC will enable watchdog organisations like RevNig as well as investigative journalists and the civil society to detect any irregularities such as the inflation of votes as well as underage, foreign and ghost voters within a community. That is possible because members of a community know themselves–age groups, schoolmates and the likes know each other; therefore, impersonators who claim to come from a particular community will be detected quickly.

Furthermore, the Electronic Electoral Databases will serve in conducting opinion polls such that candidates, as well as citizens, will know the leading candidates before election day. If a candidate who was not leading in opinion poll becomes the winner of an election, then the unexpected result will call for concern and further scrutiny. As a consequence, these opinion polls will reduce tension as candidates and electorates will have a premonition of the outcome of results beforehand.

This knowledge will reduce incidences of violence. Then It will be difficult for a candidate, who is far behind in opinion polls, and who eventually loses an election, to fuel ethnic, religious or other discords. That will turn “bad losers” into “gallant losers”, waiting to fight another day.

Supporters, volunteers and representatives of RevNig in each voting unit will be conducting opinion polls within their locality based on the voters’ list provided by INEC. For those online, surveys will be carried out on this website.

We urge Nigerians to join the RevNig Movement so we can sanitise our electoral processes and elect credible leaders that will serve us. Remember,

“Democracy is cumbersome, slow and inefficient, but in due time, the voice of the people will be heard and their latent wisdom will prevail.”–Thomas Jefferson.
