(Special note: before you read further i will remind you of the recent happening in English literature were most of those writing great prose are now from the British colonies and winning awards like Prof. Wole Shoyinka, Prof. Chinua Achebe, Salmon Rusdie etc the same thing is manifesting in democratic culture)
The CNN- INTERNATIONAL STANDARD PRACTICE OF R&D-: The CNN- The world
acclaimed leading Multimedia news organization of the Time Warner Incorporated
on November 11th/ 12 , 2012 ,Shortly after the United states
Presidential election between President Barrack Obama and Mr. Romney of the
Republican Party of the United States analyzed world elections with starling
new revelations addressed to postulating
normative ethical standard practice for best elections on a global
scale. Here the CNN posited some guidelines as well as criteria’s after a
rigorous R and D to posit and analyzed elections based on the emerging global
standards practice.
CNN SLAM USA POLLS APPROVES EDO POLLS OF JULY 2012:
 |
| H.E. ROMNEY, H.E. PRESIDENT OBAMA |
The CNN and many other analysts observed
that the United states elections which is the apostle of the current democratic
dispensation of the presidential system being adapted on a global basis by
Nigeria, Ghana, emerging democracies of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Venezuela and
many other Nations of the world including South Africa is perhaps one of the
best models in the world. But the assessments of the US election based on their
own invention posited United States
polls in conducts and methodology as archaic and old fashion fraught
with lots of irregularities ranging from the followings: Lack of modern voting
and counting equipments, lack of voters post modern biometric data registers, Partisan observers are allowed
to monitor elections, International observers banned from 9 states in the Obama
/ Romney clash and the states are Alaska, Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania,
Alabama and other confederate states peopled by the Blacks and Hispanics and
that saw President Obama coasting to victory with 96% of the votes of Blacks
and Hispanics which gave him the winning ticket, People without voters cards were allowed to
vote and their thumbs not marked , which can give room to election rigging via
multiple voting; when the CNN finished with the analysis of the election of
Obama / Romney of 2012 it marched exactly the election in Nigeria of June 12
1993 of Basorun Mko Abiola and that of Bashir Tofa of NRC which is 20 years old
and Nigeria had dumped that system and modified it in contemporary times to
post modern electronic system. Nigerian election system of July 2012, Edo polls
is 20 years ahead of the United States, Russia, China India, Britain, France,
and many other emerging democracies.
Nigerian Edo Governorship
Polls 2012 :
 |
| H.E. PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN |
Best election in the World: In the case of the Nigerian
Governorship polls according to the standard set by CNN in the international
standard practice it was only the Nigerian governorship election of Edo 2012
between Adams Oshiomhole of ACN, Prince FRANK Ukonga of SDMP, General Charles
Airhaibere of PDP, Chief Solomon Edebiri of ANPP and other gladiators that
satisfied all the criteria of CNN as best election in the world as at today as
in modern equipments, security, date of election which was conducted on
Saturday, the United states presidential polls was conducted on Tuesday which
the CNN chided as archaic , chaotic as it was a working day, Nigerian Edo polls
had a modern Bio Metric Data systems
that does not allow for multiple voting, up to date voters register, thumb
printing voting system and your thumb will be marked contrary to the United
state system which the CNN criticized as not based on bio metric data system
but rather based on archaic, old filing and documentation system. The counting
of all the votes in Edo Election were done instantly in presence of all voters
and the election results tallied and all parties got same final results despite
collated differently and independently..But the CNN said it was not so with the
United State polls of 2012. So in fact it was only the Edo governorship polls
conducted by President Goodluck Jonathan and Professor Atahiru Jega that
satisfied all the conditions of international standard practice as recommended
by CNN in all the elections of 2012 world wide.
CNN Slam Russian,
Ukraine, Belarus, Pakistan, Argentina, Mexico Models:
 |
| H.E. VLADIMIR PUTIN |
CNN made review of other elections as in the Russian
election and found out that it was smeared with a lot of irregularities and
cries of rigging which made the opposition
parties to demonstrate publicly rejecting the Russian Presidential polls
that brought in President Vladimir Putin until when former President Dmitri
Medvedev intervened to calm frail nerves through horse trading among the
Russian parties. Similarly the Ukraine Elections in November the Parties of the
boxing champion Kriskov and all other opposition parties took to the streets
publicly crying election rigging and manipulation by the ruling party, same
with the election of Belarus where the opposition took to the streets
demonstrating in November. Same with the French presidential election held this
year which was chaotic and old fashion, so as at 2012 the best election
conducted in the world by the standards of CNN is the Edo governorship
election. Followed closely by the Ondo Governorship polls of October 2012.
CNN Slam China-As China
begins to Copy Nigerian Model:
 |
| H.E. HO JINTAO |
The CNN continued it analysis by focusing
on Indian election, Japanese election, and the bulk of Asia and Latin America
as well as European Nations including China the emerging world power of the
world. As in the case of China the CNN noticed that the Chinese Ruling Party
the CPC monopolized all the election process and complain of lack of internal
democracy and corruptions as to MP bribing their ways into power. So the next
day the Chinese authorities in the 18th Congress of the ruling party
of China the CPC had called on how to reduce corruption in the entire process
of elections and country and are planning asset declaration by members of the
party and had borrowed from the Nigerian Model which Professor Jega, INEC
Chairman has succeeded in bringing intellectuals , academics, into the Nigerian
system.. China are now out looking for intellectuals, academics to come and
join the ruling party addressed to copy and adapt the Nigerian Model into the Chinese
setting. There are a lot of other irregularities in the Chinese system which
has become archaic and are now out to reinvent the model in the 18 congress
with a theme of generational shift which Nigeria has successfully implemented
as in the last general election which brought in president Goodluck Jonathan
who is a symbol of generational shift of power to the younger , intellectual
thorough breed as in President Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo and
most other Governors and MP’S are intellectuals, well read with PHD, Masters
and Bachelors degrees but this is not the case with China and they have began
to borrow and adapt the Nigerian model of debate intellectual oriented
campaigns based on manifestos, programs and not based on corruption of bribing
the electorate and your way into power. That is quite impossible in Nigeria
today. You must be sound academically, composed, and intellectually qualified
before the electorate can vote for you. Nobody can just come up again as before
with some big cash and expect to win elections in Nigeria, that era is gone.
My advice to the Chinese and other emerging democracies of Russia,
Belarus, Venezuela, Brazil and South Africa, Ukraine etc instead of watching
Nigeria and stealing / borrowing the Nigerian model it would be appropriate for
them to come through the front door to appeal to His Excellency President
Goodluck Jonathan to help them in selling the Nigerian blue print to them and
asking Professor Atahiru Jega or Prince Frank Ukonga to go and help these democracies
to conduct credible elections based on our Nigerian Model, trying to steal the
Nigeria Model unofficially and adapting it in to their native setting may also
be fraught with problems because there are a lot of nitty grity involved..It is
the Nigeria contribution to election democracy that has scaled the yardstick
and international standard of the CNN, all others elections in 2012, have been
adjudged as poor and archaic by CNN except that of Edo Polls of 2012. Nigeria
is ready to help the United States of America in helping to bring the United
States, China, Russia, Britain , France out of the old mundane archaic election
systems into the post modern system which Professor Atahiru Jega-INEC Chairman,
, President Goodluck Jonathan, Prince Frank Ukonga and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole
have helped to evolve as in Edo 2012 best election in Nigeria, Africa and
recently the best in the entire world according to the CNN report on best
elections in the world
CNN SLAM INDIA-As India
begin to Copy Nigerian Model:
 |
| H.E. SONIA GHANDI |
Again the Indians have started to copy from Nigeria as CNN said they have just
few months ago started the Bio metric data gathering of voters so that they can
have a Bio Metric Data base of Voters
Register in the forth coming election of India. Aside Indian election the CNN
said is archaic also prone to corruption, rigging, ballot boxes stuffing and
what have you. It is only Nigeria as in the Edo 2012 Model that has the best
election system in the world as at 2012 by CNN International standard practice.
Election Material-
Nigeria vs USA: In the Nigerian Model of Edo Election of 2012 the
material used were so advanced that each Local Government Area of the 18 Local
Government Areas of the state had separate different material produced and
tailored to the voters standards . So you can not bring materials from one
local government to come and use in another as in rigging. And there is no room
for hooliganism as the security is tight. Fake voters cards, under age voting,
voting without voters card, multiple voting, ballot boxes stuffing etc that
were irregularities alleged in the United states polls and that of Russia,
China, India , Britain and France cannot manifest in Nigeria as the Bio metric
Database has an inbuilt system that it automatically discover multiple voting
by any body and will nullify the vote automatically. etc . Before the election
we saw the video of how the Bio metric data system works, Professor Atahiru
Jega, INEC chairman, said the film should be showed to all of us contesting the
governorship polls,and we have copies of the computerized Bio metric data base given to each party with the
demography of voters by age, by profession , by gender all spelt out , so when
you are campaigning you know exactly how many people you are targeting in each
ward, in each street, in each local government, in each senatorial district,
and in the state, you know exactly how many youth, how many civil servants, how
many male youth, how many female youth, how many carpenters, how many, traders,
artisans, how many adults, how many students etc. so it makes it easier to go
home and plan by each contenders and we all have the data base with us to use in our private planning. Again
all the agents were trained by international and local observers both party
agents, INEC agents, even the campaign managers, the candidates and party
stalwarts were trained by Professor Jega. It was like a big school. We
conducted mock elections from one local government to another. Indeed it was
not a tea party.
Professor Jega’s Bio
Metric Data base vs the United States Big Data:
 |
| HON. ATAHIRU JEGA- INEC CHAIRMAN |
The CNN research and
development team analyzed the American Big data base system which is used by
the incumbent president and governors to their advantages. The Big Data of the
United states is a data base on virtually
all the voters, what food they like, how many children they have, which school
your child is going, what makes each voters happy, what type of club and credit
ratings of each individual it is a compilation of all the secrete data of all
individual voters by the political parties and this is now used to influence
the voters and cajole them to vote for you as such you would be amazed at the
level of data parties have on the voters. This is an instrument of dictatorship
and espionage and voters could be called up by a friend or party and instructed
to go vote in his own interest for a political party which may not even be of
his choice. The Big Data is useful to the incumbent governors and
presidents of the United States as the
CNN said that President Obama had access to this Big Data 2 years before the
elections while his rival Romney only began to collect Big Data or have access
to it a few months to the election.. In the case of Nigeria the Bio Metric Data
Base is given to all contestants by Professor Jega at the same time and you
will sign for it. I signed for my own- Prince Frank Ukonga Governorship candidate of SDMP Edo Polls, So this provided
an even level playing field for all contestants and this was justified as
international standard practice by the research team of CNN.
Big Money Politics: USA
VS NIGERIA: One interesting aspect CNN spoke about was that the United
States polls of Barack Obama/ Romney battle was the most expensive in the
entire world history of elections. The election gulped above 20 billion
dollars. This is abnormal and abysmal. This was what Prince Frank Ukonga
governorship candidate in the Edo Polls complained to Professor Jega the INEC Chairman, about in the stakeholders meeting held in Abuja
before the Edo polls and Professor
Jega evolved a new system that deemphasized and reduced to the lowest
level money spending in Nigerian politics and a few days to the Edo polls in
the presence of all the security Top brass of the Army, Customs, Immigration,
Navy, Air force, Civil Defense Corp., SSS, Police under the amenable, tough
Inspector General of Police of the Nigerian Federation Alhaji Mohammed
Abubakar, all parties and governorship candidates signed and agreed not to hold
more than N5000 to the voting centers on that day. I must say it was a very
thorough job done by Professor Jega and it took him time to plan, plot and
execute. So the making of the best election in the world as in the Edo Polls of
2012, is not a tea party. So it will be impossible for other Nations to copy or steal the formula .All democracies
of the world has to come to Nigeria to learn about how to conduct credible
elections.
Presidential/
Governorship Debates -United States vs Nigeria: the united states field
only two political parties for debates year in , year out which makes it
discriminatory to other political parties in the polls as saying they are not
good enough to rule. If it were in Nigeria that tradition would be taken to the
law court for it to be stopped because it is really abysmal. In the Nigerian
polls Professor Jega the INEC Chairman,
made sure that all candidates are presented for all the debates which were very
numerous ;there was no discrimination and this gave an even level playing field
to all political parties involved and a true test and statement of genuine
democratic experience. Even for all candidates the NTA which is the government
own media was mandated to interview all candidates presenting their manifestos
and aired every hour so that the public can have a broad based non biased
assessments of all the contestant two days to the election. So you cannot say
because I have a portable war chest that was why I lost out.
CONCLUSION: By
the international standard practice of the research and development team of the
most influential News organization in the world, Nigeria’s Edo governorship election of 2012 is the only
election in the entire world that performed to the high standard recommended by
CNN as best standard practice followed closely by the Ondo state election of
2012. All other elections save for the Venezuela polls fell short of the CNN
standard.
Whence this is a big achievement to all Nigerians, to Professor Jega’s
INEC, and to president Goodluck Jonathan for conducting the best election in
the world. I t is also a great credit to the Edo peoples, to all the contenders
in the polls namely Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Prince Frank ukonga, Major
General Charles Airhiabvere, Andrew Igwemoh, and other gladiators who locked
Horns in the battlefield of Edo state governorship polls of July 14 ,2012.
To the entire world, this is great news as Nigeria has been able to re
invent democracy and elections on a global basis as our input into the global
cultural and economic pluralism and that credit has to be given to Nigeria.
Rather than steal it or copy it into another Nation at a later date and that
Nation will steal the credit from Nigeria. So this document of Lecture/
Editorial of National peoples News confirms the de facto, de jure premises of
Nigeria’s claim to the best election in the world as at 2012 as accessed based
on the international standard practice of best polls, of the Research and
Development Team of the greatest News media on earth the CNN. Of course records
are made to be broken but currently Nigeria is holding the world record of best
election in the world. Thanks. May God bless the Human Race.
Long live federal Republic of Nigeria
