Technology is revolutionizing the way elections are conducted, and its impact will only continue to grow in the future. From electronic voting machines to online voter registration, technology has made the electoral process more efficient, accessible, and convenient ¹.

*The Benefits of Technology in Elections*

Technology has increased voter participation, particularly among younger demographics, by providing online platforms for registration and voting. Electronic voting machines have also streamlined the voting process, reducing wait times and increasing the speed of vote counting ¹.

*The Challenges of Technology in Elections*

However, technology also poses significant challenges to the electoral process. Cybersecurity threats, such as hacking and malware, can compromise the integrity of election results. The spread of misinformation and disinformation on social media can also influence voter behavior and undermine trust in the electoral process ² ³.

*The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Elections*

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in elections to analyze voter behavior, predict election outcomes, and optimize campaign strategies. AI-generated content, such as deepfakes and chatbots, can also be used to manipulate public opinion and influence voter behavior ² ³.

*The Future of Technology in Elections*

As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative solutions to improve the electoral process. Blockchain technology, for example, has the potential to increase the security and transparency of elections. Online voting platforms can also increase voter participation and convenience ¹.

*Conclusion*

In conclusion, technology will undoubtedly continue to play a major role in shaping the future of elections. While there are significant benefits to technology in elections, there are also challenges that must be addressed to ensure the integrity and security of the electoral process. By understanding the impact of technology on elections, we can work towards creating a more efficient, accessible, and secure electoral process for all citizens.

I have come across a report circulating on social media regarding an APC gathering where my name was mentioned. Let me make it unequivocally clear: I do not engage in toxic politics, blackmail, or any form of political manipulation. My name should not be associated with such narratives.

For the avoidance of doubt, both now and in the future, I am not a member of the APC, nor am I an intending member. My stance on politics has always been rooted in integrity, fairness, and issue-based engagement. I firmly believe that all political parties should assess aspirants solely on their competence, capacity, and compassion — qualities essential for building a better Anambra and a better Nigeria.

As for Valentine Ozigbo, I maintain that he, like every other aspirant, should be evaluated based on these key leadership qualities in his new political party. Elections and primaries should not be reduced to toxic narratives or personal attacks. Political choices should be guided by credibility, vision, and the ability to deliver real change — not by dragging individuals into toxic discussions, blackmail, or needless controversy.

Furthermore, primaries — whether conducted through voting, interviews, selection processes, or any other democratic method — must be free, fair, and credible. Every aspirant who is a legitimate member of a party deserves a fair chance to contest without bias or blackmail.

As we approach the Anambra State governorship election in November, I sincerely hope that all parties, including mine, will ensure a transparent and democratic process, and engage in credible, fair primaries.

This election presents a unique opportunity for Nigeria to embrace true democracy — something that, unfortunately, remains elusive in our nation today.

I wish all political parties the very best in conducting free and fair primaries, and I call on all stakeholders to uphold justice throughout the process. We must reject toxic politics, for that is the only path to achieving the democratic nation we currently lack.

By doing so, we will move closer to the new Nigeria we seek.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

A guy asks at a zoo if they've got any jobs.

“Well”, says the owner “we're not doing too well and one of the gorillas died the other day. I'll pay you to dress up in a gorilla suit and take his place”.

So the guy gets dressed in the gorilla suit and is walking around inside the enclosure when a huge great silver back male gorilla approaches him. He's absolutely terrified, scared for his life. He runs as fast as he can and jumps over the enclosure wall.

Only to land in the Lion enclosure.

“Oh my f@cking god” he screams, “help me I'm not a gorilla I'm a human being”, as a big lion moves towards him.

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door.

The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.

"Not a chance" says the husband, "it is 3 o'clock in the morning!"

He slams the door and returns to bed.

"Who was that?" asked his wife.

"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.

"Did you help him?" she asks.

"No, I did not, it is 3 o'clock in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"

"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Don’t you remember about three months ago when our car broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself !"

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain.

He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"

"Yes" comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.

"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.

"Where are you?" asks the husband.

"Over here on the swing!" replies the drunk.

There are reports that the pump price of petrol has increased to between N930 and N970 per litre in some parts of Lagos and its outskirt as against the former price of N865 per litre.

It was noticed that these price changes were implemented on Saturday evening with attendants in some of these filling stations saying that they sold petrol at N865 per litre earlier in the day before the got instructions on the increase

This may not be unconnected to the recent revelations by oil marketers that the landing cost of imported petrol has increased by N88 per litre in one week amid reports of an increase in the importation of the commodity.

Nairametrics can confirm that an AP filling station on Admiralty Road in Lekki Phase 1 was selling the product at N930 per litre with some other retail outlets in Lagos selling at between N930 and N935 per litre.

Similarly, retail stations at Abuja and Magboro in Ogun state are selling petrol at prices ranging between N960 per litre and N970 per litre.

News continues after this ad

This is about the first petrol price increase since the beginning of 2025 as against several reductions this year with the price war between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and Dangote Refinery.

Backstory
Dangote refinery had on March 19, 2025, announced that it will stop the domestic supply of petrol in naira due to the suspension of the naira for crude by the NNPC. It stated that the temporary decision is necessary to avoid a mismatch between our sales proceeds and our crude oil purchase obligations, which are currently denominated in U.S. dollars.

However, the NNPC in its clarification, denied halting the naira for crude with NNPC and other local refiners but rather explained that the contract for the sale of crude oil in naira was structured as a six-month agreement for the first stage, subject to availability, and expired at the end of March 2025.

The NNPC’s Group Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, said that under the arrangement, the state-owned oil firm has made over 48 million barrels of crude oil available to Dangote Refinery since October 2024, noting that discussions are ongoing to renew the Naira-for-Crude arrangement.

Oil marketers under the aegis of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) had rejected the decision by the Dangote refinery to sell refined petroleum products in dollars.

The National President of the association, Billy Gillis-Harry, had during a chat with journalists, urged the Federal Government not to allow the Dangote refinery to sell petrol in dollars to Nigerian marketers.

Billy Gillis-Harry said the announcement created tension among marketers who now panic-buy petrol over fear of possible scarcity or price surge.

According to him, allowing the sale of fuel in dollars will hurt the economy, bring undue pressure and worsen inflationary pressure.

There had been unconfirmed reports that the NNPC had allocated large volumes of crude oil to its foreign creditors to settle the loans acquired by the firm, making it difficult to sustain the naira-for-crude deal between NNPCL and the Dangote refinery.

This allowed the free importation of products, as private depot owners hiked their prices to maximise profit.
