Clause 29(1) stipulates that parties must conduct primaries and submit their list of candidates at least 180 days before the general elections. This means that parties who are out to participate in any election in Nigeria should carefully screen out candidate who they wish to be their flag bearer with and submit the list to INEC who are the election umpires. This will allow for transparency in the electoral process and any party who fails to meet up with the dead line of 180 days will automatically be disqualified from participating in the election irrespective of the party or the candidate.
Clause 65 states that INEC can review results declared under duress. This implies that in any cases of irregularities with the election or electoral malpractice even when the result have been declared, INEC have the right to withdraw already declared result if it is proven that the election was incomplete with electoral irregularities. This will also put to stop issues of staggered election in the country and waste of resources in the conduct of fresh election because an election was declared inconclusive due to electoral malpractice, electoral violence or late arrival of INEC official and materials.
Clause 3(3) states that funds for general elections must be released at least one year before the election. Fund determines to a great extent the success or failure of electoral conduct in Nigeria and so the imperativeness of fund in conduct of election in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. The one year interval release of fund for the conduct of general election will enable public opinion from the masses or whether or not the funds released will be enough for the election or if the fund released is too high. The electoral umpires also will purchase the necessary materials and equipment needed for the conduct of the election on time and also recruit advoc staffs who will be used for the election bearing in mind their welfare and security on the election day. This way advoc staff will not have to be kept in an unconducive environment overnight waiting for electoral materials to arrive.
Clause 51 says that the total number of accredited voters will become a factor in determining over-voting at election tribunals. This will encourage transparency of the election. With this, rigging on the election day and aftermaths with the election result will not be allowed or encouraged. In cases where the outcome of the election is subjected to election tribunals, number of accredited voters will be used to considered the outcome of the election.
Clause 54(2) makes provisions for people with disabilities and special needs. This means that any citizen irrespective of ability of disability will be allowed to vote on the election day with special provision of materials that will allow them to vote.

Clause 47 gives legislative backing for smart card readers and any other voter accreditation technology that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deploy. This means that anyone who are not accredited electronically cannot vote on the election day and it applies to everyone irrespective of office. The card readers must be used for accreditation of any voter who wishes to vote on the election day and no underage voter will be allowed to vote.
Clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election. This implies that political parties can easily replace any candidate who died while serving a political office. The political part is to conduct fresh primaries to choose and place died candidate who is serving a political office before death. After the primaries, the political party will send the name of the winner to INEC who will issue a certificate of return to the newly elected through party primaries.
Clause 50 gives INEC the legal backing for electronic transmission of election results. This act transits Nigeria from analogue age to digital age because during the cause of the election, the incoming results will be electronically transmitted online in the INEC database for everyone to see and it gives room for free and fair election without rigging. The negative side be it as it may is that this result can be tampered with if the INEC database is not strong enough against hackers who may be employed by political parties to utter the outcome of results transmitted by changing figures aftermaths thereby creating tension and duress. According Clause 65, it states that INEC can review results declared under duress. Bearing this in mind, original election results can be uttered to favour a particular political party.
Clause 94 allows for early commencement of the campaign season. By this provision, the campaign season will now start 150 days to the election day and end 24 hours before the election. This implies that election campaign can stop at any day but must stop as soon as it is 24 hours to the election. Political parties can take advantage of this to commence campaign early so as to penetrate into rural areas which are the grassroot of politics.
Clause 84 stipulates that anyone holding a political office – ministers, commissioners, special advisers and others – must relinquish the position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate. This means that serving political office holder elected or appointed can take up another political office without relinquishing the already serving position

Clause 29(1) stipulates that parties must conduct primaries and submit their list of candidates at least 180 days before the general elections. Having this in mind, political parties will no longer delay in the conduct of their party primaries and submitting the name of their preferred candidate to INEC. This is because any party who fails to submit the list of their candidate will be kicked out of election and will not have a candidate that will represent them in the coming election
Clause 65 states that INEC can review results declared under duress. Any result that INEC release under duress is subjected to review of such results with emphasizes to when there is an event of electoral violence or malpractice or failure of INEC officials to present election materials to areas where they are needed before the announcement of the result.
Clause 3(3) states that funds for general elections must be released at least one year before the election. There is need to release funds before commencement of general election in the country. This will encourage INEC to make adequate preparations for the election by providing the necessary materials and equipment for the election one year interval to the election. This will also encourage mass voters registration.
Clause 51 says that the total number of accredited voters will become a factor in determining over-voting at election tribunals. This will stop releasing result based on estimated voters accreditation than the actual voter accreditation. This will encourage transparency of election and candidate with the highest vote will emerge winner.
Clause 54(2) makes provisions for people with disabilities and special needs. Will encourage everyone on matter the ability statues to partake on the election and fulfilling their franchise. With proper accreditation anyone with disability will be allowed to vote on the election day.

ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA
Elections in Nigeria are forms of choosing representatives to the Federal Government of Nigeria and the various states in the fourth republic Nigeria. Elections in Nigeria started since 1959 with different political parties. It's a method of choosing leaders where the citizens has right to vote and to be voted for. The following are my views on the amended electoral act of 2022.
1. One of the things I noticed is that the law will effect the way political parties will prepare for this election in 2023
2. The new amended one suggested that all datas be transferred to the main data base which makes it impossible for electoral malpractice.
3. The act also suggest that , "at the end of accreditation of voters, the presiding officer should transmit the voter accreditation data by secure mobile electronic communication. Which makes it impossible to manipulate results after the election.
4. Again the section 84 (12) suggested that voters cant vote and be voted for so therefore it is to be reviewed
5. The new Act provide a legal framework that empower Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] to deploy technological solutions for elections in Nigeria.

REVIEW OF ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 BY PRESIDENT BUHARI AND FIVE (5) THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ACTS
INTRODUCTION
Right from 1999 to the present dispensation, or precisely for a period spanning more than one decade, what should ordinarily be a simple act of updating Nigeria’s Electoral law, correcting clear defects, stood like a monster too deadly to combat. Nothing, save series of machinations and dirty intrigues, inter and intra-political party schemes explain the circumlocution that has attended the long drawn amendment exercise. Yet, as politicians across parties took their turns to be victimised by the spectre, the need to stand firm and effect necessary changes in the electoral law became more compelling. It is against that background that last Friday’s signing of the 2022 Electoral Act by President Muhammadu Buhari comes into bold screen. The occasion offered serious evaluation of most of the issues that had, for a long time, stood on the way of electoral transparency and fidelity of its outcomes. A look at the amended Electoral Act showed that the political mischief associated with the practice of transmitting electoral votes and figures across many stations after the actual voting at polling unit may have been defeated. Although, the new law did not categorically stipulate the use of the much desired electronic transmission of results, it has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the power to decide on whether to apply it or not.

REVIEW OF ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 BY PRESIDENT BUHARI
Here is the summary of ten key provisions of the signed amendment of the ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 by President Buhari and the review:
1. Clause 29(1) stipulates that parties must conduct primaries and submit their list of candidates at least 180 days before the general elections: on this political parties have now been compelled to prepare for an early primary election in line with the guidelines issued last Saturday. According to the INEC boss, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the new Electoral Act stipulates among others that conduct of party primaries, including the resolution of disputes arising from them must take place between Monday April 4, 2022 and Friday June3, 2022. It also provides that submission of nomination forms to INEC via the online portal for Presidential and National Assembly elections should happen between 9.00am on Friday June 10, 2022 to 6.00pm on Friday June 17, 2022.
2. Clause 65 states that INEC can review results declared under duress: this act is favourable because it have to clear the doubt that always arise after election; which do result to many tension like assassination attack and hate speeches from the poor mass. With this the newly elected government if its election confirmed credible will lead under conducive environment or with full legitimacy of the people.
3. Clause 3(3) states that funds for general elections must be released at least one year before the election: as one of these clauses is addressing the issue of electronics voting, electronics voting required expensive materials to implement, if the fund for election is released in a year interval, it will make the independent national electoral commission to get all the necessary requirement needed and request for more fund if they run deficit account.
4. Clause 51 says that the total number of accredited voters will become a factor in

5. Clause 54(2) makes provisions for people with disabilities and special needs: the disabilities or people impede by one factor or the other, are also the citizens and should be taking into consideration to:
a. Not to make them feel intimidated,
b. Initiated the sense of belonging in them
c. And to maintain credibility, as their full participation will justify the franchise “the right of every qualified citizen to vote and to be voted for”. So, the clause is exquisite.
6. Clause 47 gives legislative backing for smart card readers and any other voter accreditation technology that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deploy: making the legislative arm involve in the electoral process is one of the best clause because they are the law enforcer, to anybody find manipulating the result or trying to give fake result, they will help the judiciary (tribunal) to pronounce judgment without further delay.
7. Clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election: on this act, though it is not too clear: but if the election is to replace the candidate with the political party during primary, it is good but if after general election, the candidate died, then I condemned this act because the candidate to be replaced may not be the choice of the masses. So, I suggest that all the political parties that contested for the position should be called for an election before the entire citizen to maintain credibility and freedom of choice of leadership.
8. Clause 50 gives INEC the legal backing for electronic transmission of election results: e-voting process or techniques is always the best as it not too exposed to manipulation as it is in the manuals. It is more accurate so, it is good.
9. Clause 94 allows for early commencement of the campaign season. By this provision, the campaign season will now start 150 days to the election day and end 24 hours before the election: commencement of Campaign by political parties for Presidential and National Assembly elections would begin Wednesday September 18, 2022 just as commencement of campaign by political parties for Governorship and State Assembly elections is Wednesday October 12, 2022. The people with this will have enough evidence to vote for candidate of their choice.
10. Clause 84 stipulates that anyone holding a political office ministers, commissioners, special advisers and others must relinquish the position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate: it is a good clause as it will create job opportunities and define people position in respect to their duties.

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ACTS:
1. I like most; the clause two, this is because the tension that uses to arise from the announcement of result use to contribute highly in insecurity which uses to claim many lives. If this clause of reviewing of results should be implemented, it will kill the tension and save lives.
2. I also like the issue of adoption of electronics voting because of it always credible and accurate.
3. Funding of election in a year interval is also what I like about the acts as it going to give energy to the adoption of e-facilities for election.
4. Moreover, the clause stipulating earlier primary and campaign is one of the best as it will help for the right choice of who to lead or to be voted for.
5. Finally, Clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election, I want to specially, talk about this clause. This clause to me will only be okay if the election is still under primary level. But if primary had been done as well as general and the candidate that won the general election died, for good choice of leadership, all the political parties that presented candidate should be given chance to present candidate and another general election should be conducted in order for people to vote for their right choice of candidate.

4. Clause 51 says that the total number of accredited voters will become a factor in determining over-voting at election tribunals: there had been rumors over the year which have been putting declared result under duress. This clause will clear the doubt as the number to vote will be know even before the election, if there is manipulation, it will be easier to identify.

REVIEW OF ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 BY PRESIDENT BUHARI AND FIVE (5) THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ACTS
BACKGROUND
Beginning from 1999 to the present dispensation, or precisely for a period spanning more than one decade, what should ordinarily be a simple act of updating Nigeria’s Electoral law, correcting clear defects, stood like a monster too deadly to combat. Nothing, save series of machinations and dirty intrigues, inter and intra-political party schemes explain the circumlocution that has attended the long drawn amendment exercise. Yet, as politicians across parties took their turns to be victimised by the spectre, the need to stand firm and effect necessary changes in the electoral law became more compelling. It is against that background that last Friday’s signing of the 2022 Electoral Act by President Muhammadu Buhari comes into bold screen. The occasion offered serious evaluation of most of the issues that had, for a long time, stood on the way of electoral transparency and fidelity of its outcomes. A look at the amended Electoral Act showed that the political mischief associated with the practice of transmitting electoral votes and figures across many stations after the actual voting at polling unit may have been defeated. Although, the new law did not categorically stipulate the use of the much desired electronic transmission of results, it has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the power to decide on whether to apply it or not.
REVIEW OF ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 BY PRESIDENT BUHARI
The summary of ten key provisions of the signed amendment of the ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 by President Buhari and the review:
1. Firstly, this is good as it will help and create an enabling environment for general elections it stated as follows. Clause 29(1) states that parties must conduct primaries and submit their list of candidates at least 180 days before the general elections: on this political parties have now been compelled to prepare for an early primary election in line with the guidelines issued last Saturday. According to the INEC head, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the new Electoral Act stipulates among others that conduct of party primaries, including the resolution of disputes arising from them must take place between Monday April 4, 2022 and Friday June3, 2022. It also provides that submission of nomination forms to INEC via the online portal for Presidential and National Assembly elections should happen between 9.00am on Friday June 10, 2022 to 6.00pm on Friday June 17, 2022.
2. Clause 65 states that INEC can review results declared under duress: this act is favourable because it have to clear the doubt that always arise after election; which do result to many tension like assassination attack and hate speeches from the poor mass. With this the newly elected government if its election confirmed credible will lead under conducive environment or with full legitimacy of the people.
Clause 3(3) states that funds for general elections must be released at least one year before the election: as one of these clauses is addressing the issue of electronics voting, electronics voting required expensive materials to implement, if the fund for election is released in a year interval, it will make the independent national electoral commission to get all the necessary requirement needed and request for more fund if they run deficit account.
ReplyDelete4. Clause 51 says that the total number of accredited voters will become a factor in determining over-voting at election tribunals: there had been rumors over the year which have been putting declared result under duress. This clause will clear the doubt as the number to vote will be know even before the election, if there is manipulation, it will be easier to identify.
5. Clause 54(2) makes provisions for people with disabilities and special needs: the disabilities or people impede by one factor or the other, are also the citizens and should be taking into consideration to:
a. Initiated the sense of belonging in them
b. And to maintain credibility, as their full participation will justify the franchise “the right of every qualified citizen to vote and to be voted for”. So, the clause is exquisite.
c. Not to make them feel intimidated,
6. Clause 47 gives legislative backing for smart card readers and any other voter accreditation technology that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deploy: making the legislative arm involve in the electoral process is one of the best clause because they are the law enforcer, to anybody find manipulating the result or trying to give fake result, they will help the judiciary (tribunal) to pronounce judgment without further delay.
7. Clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election: on this act, though it is not too clear: but if the election is to replace the candidate with the political party during primary, it is good but if after general election, the candidate died, then I condemned this act because the candidate to be replaced may not be the choice of the masses. So, I suggest that all the political parties that contested for the position should be called for an election before the entire citizen to maintain credibility and freedom of choice of leadership.
8. Clause 50 gives INEC the legal backing for electronic transmission of election results: e-voting process or techniques is always the best as it not too exposed to manipulation as it is in the manuals. It is more accurate so, it is good.
9. Clause 94 allows for early commencement of the campaign season. By this provision, the campaign season will now start 150 days to the election day and end 24 hours before the election: commencement of Campaign by political parties for Presidential and National Assembly elections would begin Wednesday September 18, 2022 just as commencement of campaign by political parties for Governorship and State Assembly elections is Wednesday October 12, 2022. The people with this will have enough evidence to vote for candidate of their choice.
10. Clause 84 stipulates that anyone holding a political office ministers, commissioners, special advisers and others must relinquish the position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate: it is a good clause as it will create job opportunities and define people position in respect to their duties
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ACTS:
ReplyDelete1. Funding of election in a year interval is also what I like about the acts as it going to give energy to the adoption of e-facilities for election.
2. Moreover, the clause stipulating earlier primary and campaign is one of the best as it will help for the right choice of who to lead or to be voted for.
3. Clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election, I want to specially, talk about this clause. This clause to me will only be okay if the election is still under primary level. But if primary had been done as well as general and the candidate that won the general election died, for good choice of leadership, all the political parties that presented candidate should be given chance to present candidate and another general election should be conducted in order for people to vote for their right choice of candidate.
4. I like most; the clause two, this is because the tension that uses to arise from the announcement of result use to contribute highly in insecurity which uses to claim many lives. If this clause of reviewing of results should be implemented, it will kill the tension and save lives.
5. Finally, I also like the issue of adoption of electronics voting because of it always credible and accurate.
Make sure understand the question before writing
ReplyDeleteFIVE REASONS WHY I LIKE THIS NEW SIGNED ELECTORAL LAW BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERATION.1. Clause 94: is a good amendment because it helps in knowing the abilities of different candidates from each party and also leads to competition which will help in brining development in the different states, than the issue of the campaign to end 24 hours before the election is also good than ending campaign a month before election. 2. Clause 34: is a good amendment of the electoral act bill because it permits the political parties to conduce another primary election to nominates another representative over a dead person than for the party to appoints or lose hope after all their expenditure before or during the preparation of the election. 3. Clause 65: which is basically for the INEC body: which says that INEC can review results declared under duress cannot be easily practice in Nigeria because of election manipulation and population of country, the country is not free from tribal crisis and the electoral commission body is in danger during the announcement of the results declared. 1. CLAUSE 29 (1): stipulates that parties must conduct primaries and submit their least of candidates least 180 days before the general election: This particular clause 29 (1) helps both the electorates (voters) and electoral commission body ( INEC) to know the each representatives in different parties, with their interests and also helps the opponents to know the abilities and capacity of the candidates. Clause 29 (1) states the right responsibilities of the political parties but the 180 days is not enough for the representatives to be well known to the masses. 5. Clause 3 (3): Which is basically stipulated for the INEC body that says that the funds for general elections must be released at least one year before the election is not enough for the preparation because now and the olden days are not the same because things used to change on daily basis in Nigeria economy and political participation so because of it, am suggesting if it can be done at least two periodic time before the general election in other for the INEC committee or agencies not to be financial disturbed before the election.

I LIKE THIS CONSTITUTION BECAUSE
The act repeals the electoral act no.6,2010 and enacts the electoral act 2022, to regulate the conduct of federal state and area council elections, to make provisions for the restriction of the qualification for elective office to relevant provisions of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria 1999. Use of card readers and other technological devices sin elections and political party primaries, to provide a time line for the submission of the list of candidates, criteria for the substitution of candidates, limit of campaigns expenses, and addresses the omission of names of candidates or logo of political parties.
1. In this electoral act I agree that the above clause is very good bringing the reflection in clause 29 and 65 which state that the primarily election are now conducted and submit their list at least 180 days before the election.
Coming to clause 65 which state that INEC can review result that duress which means they will not be forcing them to release the result before the time.
2. The electoral act 2022 is making much since that in clause 3 and clause 51 stated that form for general election must be released one year before the election which means that such sums and payment received from federal government available to the commission for the performance of it functions under this act.
Clause 51 is saying that before reporting any case of the voting election or taking case to the can first of all you will ensure the total number of the voters of accredited. Here specific that before taking any action take correct for partial election result. Which means then to know the total number that voted for the election.
3. The electoral act 2022 clause 54 and 47 stated that there should be provision for people with disability and special need for medical fitness for any candidate, bringing clause 47 that stated that legislative give power to the speaker and legislative give over the card reader and the voter accredited with the sources of technologies that independent national electoral committee bring out.
4. Clause 34 emphasis that constitution brings the provision for the party candidate that died during election should re-conduct another election for the replace of the candidate.
Like Yarodua’s regime, good luck the vice president replaces him immediately the time he passes out.
Coming directly to the INEC a legal backing for electronic transmission of election result mans that the INEC will release their result on time.
5. The electoral act clause 94 and 84 states that there should be early commencement of campaign section which mean that campaign will start 150 days to the election day and then end 24 hours before the election day. Brig in clause 84 which provided that any who is having or sitting for the political office must relinquish for the office before going for any other post
It stipulated that anyone who urged for minister, commissioners, cannot be a candidates of post without languish.

Review this work and state 5 things you like or hate about this new signed electoral law by the president of the federation. You can make your own suggestion if you don't like or hate the Electoral Act Bill 2022.
Clause 29(1) stipulates that parties must conduct primaries and submit their list of candidates at least 180 days before the general elections. With this new electoral act, political parties will take the issue of submission of the list of their candidates that won from their conducted party primaries on time to INEC who are the electoral umpires in Nigeria. Any party who fails to meet up with the deadline which automatically be disqualified to participate in the general election in Nigeria. This will encourage political parties to start with their party preparations on time bearing in mind the deadline. Also party members who felt they were treated unjustly on the party primaries can go to court seeking court order in rerunning the party primaries.
Clause 51 says that the total number of accredited voters will become a factor in determining over-voting at election tribunals. With this new act, accreditation of voters will determine the outcome of election at the tribunals with over or under voting ratio as with regards to declaring the supposed winner in an election. This implies that if the number of voters accredited is higher than the vote casted at various polling units, the election result will be considered null and void at the tribunals who will favour the candidate with the legally accepted and accredited votes will automatically be declared as the winner as the election
Clause 65 states that INEC can review results declared under duress. With this act in place, rigging and electoral malpractice will be a thing of the past. The current trend electoral irregularities in Nigeria, this act will increase transparency in the electoral process. This implies that in cases of non compliance with the electoral procedure by political parties who may wish to rig the election by stealing or snatching ballot box from polling unit to bypass accreditation of voters and manually vote for parties that contacted them for the job. If INEC in any case declare the candidate whose vote are more without accreditation, the result from such will be declared invalid.
Clause 47 gives legislative backing for smart card readers and any other voter accreditation technology that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deploy. This act means that without proper accreditation, any election will not hold until accreditation are duly done at the various polling units. In cases where the card readers are not properly used for the election, such election and result cannot be recognized by INEC.
Clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election. With this act, in an event of death of any candidate from political party who died in course of serving a political office, the political party affected will conduct fresh primaries to replace the demised candidate whose name they will submit to INEC for proper recognition and replacement.

Review this work and state 5 things you like or hate about this new signed electoral law by the president of the federation. You can make your own suggestion if you don't like or hate the Electoral Act Bill 2022.
Article 29 (1) provides that the parties must hold a primary election and submit a list of candidates at least 180 days before the general election. This means that parties wishing to participate in elections in Nigeria must carefully select the candidates who want to be flaggers and submit the list to the election arbitrator, INEC. This makes the election process more transparent, and parties that miss the 180-day deadline are automatically banned from voting, regardless of party or candidate.
Article 65 states that INEC may verify the declared results if coerced. This means that in all cases of voting irregularities or voting errors, even if the results are published, if INEC proves that the voting is incomplete due to voting irregularities. It means that you have the right to withdraw the results that have already been announced. This is also a resource in the issue of staggered elections in the country and the implementation of new elections, as elections have been declared uncertain due to voting errors, voting violence, or delays in the arrival of INEC officials and materials. Will end the waste of.
Article 3 (3) states that funds for the general election must be released at least one year before the election. The need for a fund to hold elections in Nigeria cannot be exaggerated, as the fund largely determines the success or failure of voting behavior in Nigeria. The release of funds to hold an annual general election will reveal public opinion as to whether the released funds are sufficient for the elections or the released funds are too high. Election referees will also timely purchase the materials and equipment needed to hold the election and recruit advocacy staff to be assigned to the election, taking into account the welfare and safety of the day of the election. In this way, Advoca employees don't have to be in a messy environment overnight to wait for ballots to arrive.
Article 51 states that the total number of authorized voters is a deciding factor in the dismissal of the election court. This is intended to promote election transparency. This means that election day manipulation and the aftermath of election results are not permitted or encouraged. When election results are submitted to the election court, the number of authorized voters is used to explain the election results.
Clause 54(2) makes provisions for people with disabilities and special needs. This means that any citizen irrespective of ability of disability will be allowed to vote on the election day with special provision of materials that will allow them to vote.

Article 29 (1) provides that the parties must hold a primary election and submit a list of candidates at least 180 days before the general election. The new election law will allow political parties to refer to Nigeria's Election Commission, INEC, and submit a timely list of candidates who have won the primary. Political parties that miss the deadline are automatically banned from running in the Nigerian general election. This allows a political party to start preparing for a political party within the deadline, taking into account the deadline. Party members who feel unfairly treated in the primaries can also go to court and request a court order to repeat the primaries.
Article 51 states that the total number of authorized voters is a deciding factor in the dismissal of the election court. Under this new law, voter recognition will determine the outcome of an election before the arbitral tribunal with an over or under turnout in determining the estimated winner of the election. This is because if the number of certified voters is higher than the votes cast at various polling stations, the election results will be considered invalid by the courts supporting the candidate in legally approved votes and the certified votes will be automatic. The invalidated person is declared a winner as an election.
Article 65 states that INEC may verify the declared results if coerced. Under this law, manipulation and voting errors are a thing of the past. This law, which is the current trend of election irregularities in Nigeria, increases the transparency of the election process. This avoids voter recognition and tells the party she contacts for work if a party that wants to steal or steal ballot boxes from polling stations and fraudulently conduct elections violates the election process. Because it means to vote manually. In any case, if INEC declares a candidate with a high number of votes without accreditation, the result will be invalid.
Article 47 legally supports the smart card readers and other voter recognition technologies adopted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This law means that without proper accreditation, elections will not take place until the various polling stations are properly accredited. If the card reader is not used properly in the election, this election and its results will not be recognized by INEC.
Article 34 empowers political parties to hold primaries on behalf of candidates who died during the election. Under this law, if a party candidate who dies during the party's term dies, the parties involved will hold a new primary to replace the deceased candidate. The name will be submitted to INEC for proper approval. exchange.

REVIEW OF THE ELECTORAL BILL
Article 47 legally supports the smart card readers and other voter recognition technologies adopted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). That is, a person who is not electronically certified cannot vote on election day and applies to everyone regardless of position. Card readers must be used to identify voters who wish to vote on election days, and minor voters cannot vote.
Article 34 empowers political parties to hold primaries on behalf of candidates who died during the election. This means that you can easily replace a candidate who died while the party was in power. The political part is running a new primary to select and place deceased candidates to retain their political status before they die. After the primary election, the party sends the winner's name to INEC. INEC will issue a return certificate for the primary elections newly elected by the party.
Paragraph 50 provides INEC with the legal basis for electronic transmission of election results. This law will move Nigeria from the analog era to the digital era. The incoming call results are sent online in the INEC database and can be viewed by anyone during the election, creating a free and fair space for elections without any manipulation. However, the downside is that if the INEC database isn't strong enough against hackers who are hired by political parties to later change numbers and express the results of the results sent, this result can be tampered with.
There is. Article 65 states that INEC may validate the results declared under extortion. With this in mind, you can express the original election results to support a particular political party. Article 94 allows for an early start of the campaign season. Under this rule, the campaign season begins 150 days before the election date and ends 24 hours before the election. This means that the campaign can be stopped at any time, but it must be stopped 24 hours before the election. Political parties can use it to launch campaigns early and penetrate the rural areas that form the basis of politics.
Clause 48 stipulates that persons with political status (ministers, committee members, special advisors, etc.) must retire before participating in the election process as candidates or representatives. This means that the owner of an elected or appointed politician can hold another political position without abandoning the position already held.
FIVE REASONS WHY I LIKE THIS NEW SIGNED ELECTORAL LAW BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERATION.1. Clause 94: is a good amendment because it helps in knowing the abilities of different candidates from each party and also leads to competition which will help in brining development in the different states, than the issue of the campaign to end 24 hours before the election is also good than ending campaign a month before election. 2. Clause 34: is a good amendment of the electoral act bill because it permits the political parties to conduce another primary election to nominates another representative over a dead person than for the party to appoints or lose hope after all their expenditure before or during the preparation of the election. 3. Clause 65: which is basically for the INEC body: which says that INEC can review results declared under duress cannot be easily practice in Nigeria because of election manipulation and population of country, the country is not free from tribal crisis and the electoral commission body is in danger during the announcement of the results declared. 1. CLAUSE 29 (1): stipulates that parties must conduct primaries and submit their least of candidates least 180 days before the general election: This particular clause 29 (1) helps both the electorates (voters) and electoral commission body ( INEC) to know the each representatives in different parties, with their interests and also helps the opponents to know the abilities and capacity of the candidates. Clause 29 (1) states the right responsibilities of the political parties but the 180 days is not enough for the representatives to be well known to the masses. 5. Clause 3 (3): Which is basically stipulated for the INEC body that says that the funds for general elections must be released at least one year before the election is not enough for the preparation because now and the olden days are not the same because things used to change on daily basis in Nigeria economy and political participation so because of it, am suggesting if it can be done at least two periodic time before the general election in other for the INEC committee or agencies not to be financial disturbed before the election

THE IGBO TRADITIONAL WRESTLING AS A CULTURE
The Igbo traditional wrestling is a very popular sport in the Igbo community. It is a practice and acknowledgement of skill and strength as well as promotion of indigenous language, culture, norms, values, and traditions by young, physically capable Igbo men. In Igbo Land a man is believed to prove his physical strength when he is able to fight off his aggressors and so wrestling shows strength and courage. Before the wrestling season young men who will be competing train for months. A young Man who comes out Victorious in a traditional wrestling is admired and respected by all, He is seen as a Warrior or a distinguished wrestler.
Traditional Wrestling sometimes are used to settle local dispute and conflict between two Villages .It is also Used to determine the right groom in cases where a young woman has many suitors, in such cases a wrestling match is arranged where all the suitors battle it out and whoever emerges victorious marries the woman .It is also a form of entertainment, usually the chief of the village and his chieftains are seated the villagers gather around the village square too to watch.
Wrestling matches take place in traditional rings, a ring filled with sand which cushions their fall. A flute boy is present to provide special tunes that stir the heart ,this is believed to give added strength to the weak, spectators are also present to cheer the wrestlers on and encourage them. The winner of the contest takes home a prize.
Mgba predates the colonial period in the Igbo nation. The skill, stamina, joy, honour and fame that mgba confers on an individual in those pre-colonial days is sought after by every male child born in that community. Every male child desires to be Di Mgba (a wrestler and a warrior) using his age-grade, as it confers recognition by the community. Communities are feared for the number of ndi mgba (wrestlers) they parade. Though it is not uncommon for one to challenge his fellow man to wrestling, it is usually done during festivities such as the celebration of new yam festivals (iri ji ohuu). Today, only few communities in the remote villages still observe the cultural fiesta. Globalization has masked wrestling competition in Igboland. The death of some Igbo cultural values such as Mgba, that could have resulted in a rich cultural tourism stems from the appeal for western cultures and acculturation. The young and the old in Igboland, especially in urban centres, glue their eyes on the television screen to watch white-man’s footballing and wrestling competitions to our detriment. The nonchalant attitude which our people show to our cultural heritage has led to the lack of development of mgba by the Nigerian government (government neglect to its development). This could have been a source of income earning, for both the local communities and the government, if developed as a tourists resort centre.
1B. FIVE LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE CULTURE.
1. As stated above the culture of wrestling as the Igbos practice in their land is used to determine masculinity.
2. Through wrestling one can attain fame.
3. Through price winning one can make money off the culture and tradition of wrestling.
4. It could be used to create a tourist center or measure where people from far and wide can come and pay money to watch our wrestlers as done in the TV screens.
5. I learnt that globalization and technology have killed the culture of wrestling in the Igbo society and it has resulted to loss of cultural values.

RELIGION AS A CULTURE IN THE IBO SOCIETY
The Igbos are profoundly religious. The ancient Igbo religion and traditions are known as Odinani. In Igbo mythology, which is part of their ancient religion, the supreme God is called Chukwu (“great spirit”); Chukwu created the world and everything in it and is associated with all things on Earth. Chukwu is a solar deity. They believe that there are three levels of divine beings: the highest level is the supreme god, or “Chukwu.” Underneath Chukwu are lesser gods, called “Umuagbara”, and under these are the “Ndi Ichie,” the spirits of dead people.
The Igbos also believe in reincarnation. And since the Ibos believe that everything in life is controlled by higher powers, there are also diviners in a village that attempt to predict the future. Each village has priests and priestesses who help in all spiritual matters, conducting ceremonies and rituals.
Today, the majority of the Igbo people are Christian, well over half of whom are Roman Catholic
Igboland’s traditional religion is based on the belief that there is one creator, God, also called Chineke or Chukwu. The creator can be approached through numerous other deities and spirits in the form of natural objects, most commonly through the god of thunder (Amadioha). There is also the belief that ancestors protect their living descendants and are responsible for rain, harvest, health and children. Shrines, called Mbari, are made in honour of the earth spirit and contain tableaux of painted earth. Other shrines keep wooden figures representing ancestors and patrons. The evidence of these shrines, oracle houses and traditional priest in the villages still emphasise people’s beliefs, though with the western influence, Christianity has taken a more dominant role in modern Igboland. One of the most important events in Igboland is Christmas and it signifies home return in the village. Even though they live most of the time in the city or somewhere else in Nigeria, Igbo families consider their one and only real home their house in the village. It is the two weeks around Christmas which bring families back together to the village. It is the time to catch up with other family members on what has happened over the year and visit relatives and friends in the neighborhood. You will find the cities empty during this period only preceded and followed by the traffic peaks caused by travelling back and forth between the village and the cities.
Easter is the other event, though smaller in scale, which provides Igboland a break for festivities. People tend to go to their villages but most of them stay around in the city to visit friends and relatives.
Lessons learnt from the culture
1. Religion brings people together as they share common aspirations to lead a better life.
2. Religious teachings emphasis on the need for serving our fellow man.
3. Inner strength and courage to do the right thing
4. It reduces the risk of covetousness i. e where man has no right to take what does not belong to him.
5. Religion has shaped the life of people, because it man to have morals and reduces the chances of immorality (e.g infidelity in marriage)
Recommendation:
I can recommend religion as it was because the new religion has made many things to fall out in places.
It is true that man has often misused the ideals of religion for their own selfish ends. Religion has become a source of pride and conflict because humanity has acted badly in the name of religion.

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGES OF THESE PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH-EAST PART OF NIGERIA ARE DEEMED VERY FESTIVE, COLORFUL AND ARE DIVIDED INTO FOUR MAIN PARTS.
Steps involved
1. Marriage inquiry known as 'Iku aka' or 'Iju ese'
2. Seeking consent from the bride-to-be’s extended family known traditionally as 'Umunna'
3. Bride price negotiation and payment known as 'Ime ego'
4. Wine-carrying ceremony by the bride known as 'Igba Nkwu Nwanyi' and 'Idu Uno'
All these must be completed and the bride’s people must be satisfied before the groom can take away his new wife home.
1. Marriage inquiry known as ‘Iku aka’ or ‘Iju ese’
Unfortunately, tradition doesn’t recognize the modern kind of proposal where the man gets down on one knee and proposes to his girlfriend. The first step of the Igbo traditional wedding rites is the groom visiting the bride’s immediate family accompanied by his father or the eldest member of his family if his dad is deceased. Usually, they are meant to show up empty handed because ‘Iku aka’ or ‘Iju ese’ simply means ‘coming to knock or inquire’ but groom and his family are free to take some hot drinks and kola nut as goodwill.
2. Seeking consent from the bride-to-be’s extended family known traditionally as Umunna
After the first visit, the bride’s family begin investigation on the groom’s family, they check their background and history (hereditary illnesses, bad behaviors, divorce, fertility etc. are all checked).
This investigation also determines the progress of the next meeting between both families as the bride’s people will then decide if the groom-to-be is good enough to take care of their daughter and their future children. It is also assumed that groom’s family must have carried out similar investigation prior to the first visit.
3. Bride price negotiation and payment known as 'Ime ego'
After the second visit and consent has been given by the bride’s extended family, the groom’s family can now proceed with the bride price negotiation and payment known traditionally as ‘Ime ego, the groom’s family ask for the engagement gifts list, this differs slightly from place to place in Igboland.
4. Wine-carrying ceremony by the bride known as Igba Nkwu Nwanyi and Idu Uno
This is the last and final rite done by the groom’s family. After the date for the official wine carrying has been set, the ceremony is done at the bride’s home and her family prepares a large feast (depending on their pockets) for the groom’s family coming and invited guests, they also hire a live band and maybe traditional dancers to make the ceremony interesting.
LESSONS
(1) I learnt that the extensive contacts which the Owerre-Igbo have had with other ethnic groups, have changed the perception of the core Igbo man on marriage in this present dispensation.
(2) I learnt that the influence of Christianity and Western education,
(3) Occupational influence also have contributed in influencing our men and women towards their reasoning about marriage.
(4) I also, learnt that the women married during those days the aforementioned steps were critically and mandatorily observe seem to respect their husbands more than what we have now.
(5) finally, I learnt that in the igbo culture it is a taboo to live with a woman or a man who isn’t your husband nor wife under the same roof until all the rites are adequately performed.
RECOMMENDATION
I will recommend that we leave it the way it used to be.

The clause in this acts repeals the electoral act No.6 2010 and enact test. The electoral act 2022 regulate the conduct of federal,states and area council election. To make provision for the restrictions of the qualification for elective office. The relevant provision of the constitution, Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999). Use of card reader and other technological device, To provide in timeline for the summation of the list of candidate limit for campaign expenses and address the omission of the names of candidate or logo of political parties.
REASONS WHY I LIKE THIS CONSTITUTION
1) ln this electoral act I agreed that the above clause is very good, bringing the reflection in class 29 and 65 which state that the Primary election should be given a little time to allow the party to conduct election and summit their result at least 180 days before the election, in clause 65 which stated that the INEC will not be force to do what they don't want to do, meaning the INEC will not be forced to release result before the time.
2) The electoral act 2022 is making sense that in clause 34 and 51 states that funds for general election must be release one year before the election, which means that such sums and payment received from the federal government should be available to the commission for the performance of its function under this act. The clause 51 says that before reporting any case of the partial electoral result or taking any case to the call you should first ensure the total number of voter addicted,to know the total number of people that vote for the election.
3) The electoral act 2022, clause 54 and 47 states that there should be provision for people with disabilities and special needs, which means there will be a need for medical fits for any candidate. Bringing clause 47 which states that the legislature arm gives power to the speaker over the card reader and vote stars accredit with technology resources.
4) The electoral act 2022, clause 34 and 50 states that there should be an election to reconduct another election for the replacement of the candidate, likewise Yaradua's Regime.

Coming directly to clause 50 INEC the legal backing for electronic transmission of election results the means that the INEC will realize their result online.
5) The electoral act 2022, clause 94 and 84 states that there should be early commencement of campaign session which means that will start 160 days to the election day and end 24hours before the election day, in clause 84 it provides that anyone having or seating for political office must relinquish for the office before varing for other post.

THE REVIEW OF THE AMENDED ELECTORAL ACT 2022
The new electoral act bill 2022 has been signed into law by Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari at the council chambers of presidential villa on 25 feburary,2022. This new act will affect how political parties will prepare for 2023 general elections. The new act has several clauses which is aimed at improving the electoral process in Nigeria.
Clause 84 of the new electoral law states that anyone holding a political office examples- ministers, commissioners, special advisers and others must relinquish their position before they can be able to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate.
Clause 34 is a vital part of the act which will help to clear confusion in case there is death of a candidate during an election. This clause has taken care of previous case of death during an election and the problems it created within a political part most recently during the Kogi election. The clause 34 gives political parties power to conduct a primary election to replace a candidate who died during an election.
The new act also modified how campaigns will operate in Nigeria during election period. The clause 94 of the new act gave room for early commencement of campaign season. With this new provision, the campaign season will not commence 150 days to the election day and end 24 hours before the election. This to allow political parties enough time to cover more grounds be the election day proper. The new electoral act will modify and improve elections in Nigeria if all clauses in the act are fully implemented.
The following are the five things are like about the new electoral act signed into law by President Buhari:
1. The act has taken into consideration a situation where a candidate contesting election dies before announcement of result. It stated that the party will conduct another primaries to substitute the candidate and INEC has 21 days to conclude the election and declare a winner, and in the case of the post of president and governor, the deputy will continue with the election and chose another deputy. This part of the act took care of the confusion created in the death of a candidate contesting at the middle of an election as previously experienced in Nigeria.
2. I love the act for revising the meaning of over voting as it said that the total number of accredited voters will now be the basis for validity of votes for election. This was why the act empowered INEC to transmit results electronically through clause 50 of the act.
3. I love clause 84 of the new act as it will remove interference and intimidation from political office holders during an election. This clause will help restore equity and equality among contestants in an election as any political position holder is expected to relinquish his or her position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate. This part of the act will help restore faith in the electoral process if it can be upheld and not removed.
4. The new act has also improved on the timeframe for campaigns by political parties from 90 days to 150 days before the polling day and to end 24 hours before the election. This will help political parties to cover more grounds and reduce the rush during campaigns.
5. I love the fact that the new act encourages early party primaries so that parties will choose their candidates on times and ensure that printing of ballot will not be delayed. The time frame for submission of names of party candidates was increased from 60 days to 180 days by the new act.

3. The electoral Act also provided a political parties power to conduct a primaries election for replacement of a candidate whose died during a election. This act specified that anytime someone died in the office the vice cannot replaced or occupied the office likewise what happened during the President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua regime when the President died in his term the vice which Goodluck Jonathan Ebele occupied the position of the President, but in theseelectoralactthepartieshavethechancetoconductprimarieselectionforbringing another candidate store place the office.

5. Finally, I like most; the clause two, this is because the tension that uses to arise from the announcement of result use to contribute highly in insecurity which uses to claim many lives. If this clause of reviewing of results should be implemented, it will kill the tension and save lives.

I like the electoral laws due to the following reasons:
1. Clause 29 (1) will enable the INEC to make proper preparation from election; hence parties were mandated to submit the list of their candidates who won primaries ahead of the proper time of general election.
2. Clause 51 encourages political participation and enhances good governance.
3. Clause 84 improves political neutrality of the civil servants
4. Clause 47 helps to check electoral malpractice hence, the people vote are electronically casted before the public unlike the secret ballot papers formally used.
5. Clause 52 (2) promotes human rights (right to franchise) by allowing the disable to vote.
The weakness of the electoral acts
1. Clause 54 (2) doesn’t specify the kinds of disability stated there in, and if that is the case, a mental disable should not be allowed to partake in an election.
2. The act should have made provisions for Nigerians who lives outside the country as the time of the election to vote electronically.

ELECTORAL BILL REVIEW (THINGS I LIKE)
Clause 29 (1) stipulates that political parties must hold a primary association at least 180 days before the general election and present a list of candidates. This means that parties wishing to participate in the Nigerian elections must carefully select the candidates they want to be flag bearers and present the list to the election arbitrator INEC. This makes the election process more transparent, and parties that have passed the 180-day deadline are automatically banned from voting, regardless of party or candidate.
Clause 65 states that if enforced, INEC may validate the declared results. This means in all cases of voting irregularities or voting errors, even if the results are published if INEC proves that the voting is incomplete due to voting irregularities. This means that you have the right to revoke the results that have already been announced. It is also a resource for staggered elections and new elections in the country, as elections have been declared unsafe due to incorrect voting, election violence, or delayed arrival of INEC officials and materials. Stop wasting.
Clause 3 (3) states that funds for federal elections must be released at least one year before the election. The need for a fund to hold elections in Nigeria cannot be exaggerated, as the fund greatly influences the success or failure of election campaigns in Nigeria. The release of funds to hold an annual general election will reveal public opinion as to whether the released funds are sufficient for the elections or the released funds are too high. Election referees will also timely purchase the materials and equipment needed to hold the election and recruit advocacy staff to be assigned to the election, taking into account the welfare and safety of the day of the election. In this way, Advoc staff don`t have to be in a messy environment overnight to wait for ballots to arrive.
Clause 51 states that the total number of authorized voters is a deciding factor in the dismissal of the election court. This is intended to promote election transparency. This means that election day manipulation and the aftermath of election results are not permitted or encouraged. When the election results are sent to the election court, the number of people eligible to vote will help explain the election results.
Clause 54 (2) contains provisions for persons with disabilities and those with special needs. This means that all citizens, regardless of ability or disability, can vote on election day, and special tools are available to allow voting.

The bill act of the electoral act no.6,2010 is an enact to the electoral act 2022, to modify the behavior of federal kingdom and vicinity council elections, to make provisions for the limit of the qualification for optionally available workplace to applicable provisions of the charter of the federal republic of Nigeria 1999.

Here is the outline of ten critical arrangements of the marked alteration of the ELECTORAL ACT BILL 2022 by President Buhari
1. Provision 29(1) specifies that gatherings should direct primaries and present their rundown of applicants something like 180 days before the overall decisions.
2. Provision 65 states that INEC can survey results pronounced under coercion.
3. Condition 3(3) states that assets for general decisions should be delivered no less than one year before the political race.
4. Statement 51 says that the complete number of licensed citizens will turn into a component in deciding over-casting a ballot at political decision courts.
5. Statement 54(2) makes arrangements for individuals with incapacities and extraordinary requirements.
6. Condition 47 gives authoritative sponsorship for shrewd card perusers and some other citizen certification innovation that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) send.
7. Statement 34 enables ideological groups to lead an essential political race to supplant an up-and-comer who passed on during a political race.
8. Proviso 50 gives INEC the lawful sponsorship for electronic transmission of political race results.
FIVE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE AMENDED OR REWORKED ELECTORAL ACT, 2022
1. This Electoral Act surveys timetables for political race exercises. For example, the new Act requires the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to give a notification of political race not later than 360 days to the following general political decision.
2. There are remarkable and excellent arrangements that could emphatically reform races in Nigeria through the presentation of new mechanical advancements. These advancements would ensure the sacred freedoms of residents to cast a ballot and to do as such actually.
3. The bill would likewise improve and incite lucidity, viability and straightforwardness of the political decision process, as well as decrease to the barest least frequencies of sharpness emerging from disappointed up-and-comers and ideological groups.
4. The early arrival of constituent assets for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Provision 3(3) of the law orders the central government to deliver constituent assets for INEC at the very least a year prior to the overall political decision to guarantee monetary autonomy.
5. Political nonpartisanship of INEC authorities. Proviso 8(5) states that INEC authorities should not have a place with or be partnered with any ideological group.
MY OWN SUGGESTIONS
1. Nobody is coming to transform anything in Nigeria, except if we rebuild our framework. Likewise, the political pioneers drove by President Muhammadu Buhari ought to as an issue of direness require a mandate to know the complaints of Nigeria.
2. He should likewise figure out how to set to the side the 1999 constitution and permit the residents figure out what they need.
3. The appointive bill endorsed by the president won't have any effect. They marked a bill that will incline toward them and to give Nigerian legislators what they need. We really want to return to choose A4 discretionary framework that will make the votes of the electorate count.
4. For Nigerians, regulation is a certain something. Regard for the law is something else. Regardless of how lovely a regulation is, in the event that there is no longing, no responsibility, and commitment to guarantee consistence with regulation, the law could be less successful and productive.
5. As it is, assuming Nigeria proceeds with the 2023 races without the previously mentioned arrangement, nothing totally will change."
Along these lines, I accept that we want to regard the law since we have an improvement over what we had in the earlier years."
