Hard truth

Vean estos 7 minutos. No tienen desperdicio. Así trató de robar Argentina el mundial de Italia 90. Drogando a los jugadores rivales. Lo que oyen. Octavos de final. Se enfrentaban Argentina y Brasil. Los argentinos le ofrecieron a los brasileños una botella de agua con Rohypnol (un potentísimo sedante). Uno de los brasileños, Branco bebió, se mareó, se quedó atontado y jugó de pena. Los argtentinos terminaron ganando el partido (1-0). Años después, Maradona lo admitió entre risas en televisión. Bilardo ni siquiera lo negó. Esto es lo que es la selección de Argentina, amigos.

Why the voter registration exercise should be extended. As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections. Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections. Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians. I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it. A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO
