PROF. AMUPITAN ASSURES NIGERIANS "YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT" AS ABDULSALAM ABUBAKAR CALLS FOR SUPPORT FOR INEC AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTION
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reassured Nigerians that their votes will count in forthcoming elections, as former Head of State and Chairman of the National Peace Committee (NPC), General Abdulsalam Abubakar (rtd), called on Nigerians to rally support behind the Commission ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The assurance was given by the INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, during a courtesy visit to General Abubakar at his residence in Minna, Niger State, on Friday 24th July, 2026, where he led a delegation comprising National Commissioners, the Secretary to the Commission, Directors and Technical Aides of the Chairman.
In his remarks, Prof. Amupitan described General Abubakar as the father of democracy in Nigeria, noting that his transition to civilian rule in 1999 marked a defining moment in the country's democratic history. He said the Commission regarded the former Head of State not merely as a statesman but as a pillar of support for INEC.
The INEC Chairman commended General Abubakar's role as Chairman of the National Peace Committee, describing his Peace Accord initiative as a moralising influence on Nigeria's political ecosystem. He said the initiative had, over the years, provided political actors with a platform to commit to non-violence, thereby strengthening the sovereignty of the will of the Nigerian people. Prof. Amupitan described the visit as a pilgrimage of appreciation for General Abubakar's contributions to peaceful coexistence, peaceful elections and democratic stability in the country, and further congratulated him on his recent 84th birthday anniversary.
Prof. Amupitan told the former Head of State that regardless of the pressures confronting the Commission, INEC remained committed to ensuring that the will of the Nigerian people, as expressed at the Election, would prevail.
He said the Commission's determination under his leadership was to see ordinary Nigerians go out and vote, confident that their votes would be duly counted and reflected in the outcome of elections, describing this as the core assurance INEC owed the electorate.
The INEC Chairman used the occasion to formally confirm that the Presidential and National Assembly election would hold on 16 January 2027, while the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly election would take place on 6 February 2027.
Everywhere is silent while bandits massacre 23 farmers in Sauna/Ruwan Gora community, Talata Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State. More than 50 people have been hospitalized, the majority of them women and children.
This attack happened in a village near the hometown of Nigeriaโs Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle. The Northwest is gradually becoming a graveyard, yet the suffering of its people continues to receive little attention.
Gm @idOS_network community,
Now lets talk about "ARCHITECTURE NETWORK LAYER OF idOS"
Introduction.
The network layer is the "vault and engine" of idOS, providing decentralized, privacy-preserving infrastructure for data persistence and operations.
It's built on Kwil (a decentralized relational database platform) with idOS-specific extensions for identity use cases.
Currently permissioned only authorized, KYB'd (Know Your Business) operators run nodes to prevent misuse but it's evolving toward permissionless participation via staking and sharding.
Coming with more concerning the network layer,
anticipate ๐
But before I drop more, let me know your thoughts on the network layer below in the CS๐
Let's continue with how the @idOS_network algorithm works
When you put a secret in the box, the computer uses fancy math (called Curve25519) to make a hidden code just between you and the box.
It's like you and a friend picking the same secret number without saying it out loud!
Then, it scrambles your secret super good using that code (with something called xsalsa20), so it looks like silly gibberish to anyone else.
Finally, it adds a special sticker (poly1305) to check if anyone tried to mess with it. If the sticker doesn't match, you know something's wrong
This way, your secrets stay safe, and you can share them with friends by making a new lock just for them. No one else can open it without your say-so.
Can you now see why you should be part of something great @idOS_network is building?
Stay bullish and lock in
How does users rewards work on wallchain in relation to projects listed on the platform
Wallchain serves as an AttentionFi platform designed to quantify, reward, and monetize genuine influence in the crypto space by integrating social signals from X (formerly Twitter) with on-chain behaviors. It prioritizes high-quality, original content and substantive interactions over superficial or spammy posts, employing AI algorithms to assess user contributions. The main way users earn is through "Quacks" points, which gauge their influence and can lead to token airdrops or allocations from partnered projects on the platform.
Key Mechanisms for User Rewards
Quacks Points System: As the primary reward metric, Quacks are accrued daily for producing impactful content like in-depth threads, project analyses, or discussions. Calculation involves elements such as content originality, quality, engagement levels (including meaningful replies and retweets from notable accounts), and the user's X Score a custom scale from 0 to 1000 that evaluates influence via intelligent follower networks, interaction quality, and time-based decay to deter manipulation.
Minimal-effort content, such as AI-spun spam, brief salutations, or off-topic tags, yields little to no points, whereas sustained, valuable input is favored. Users need to log in each day to analyze their last 30 days of activity and claim accumulated Quacks, which build up in the background but demand proactive collection.
X Score and Influence Building: This metric captures a user's specialized influence in crypto on X, incorporating ties to prominent accounts and authentic endorsements like comments or retweets. An elevated X Score amplifies Quacks gains and improves leaderboard standings. It can be monitored through a browser extension, and users can enhance it via referrals (gaining passive Quacks from referees' efforts) or by connecting an EVM or Solana wallet for bonuses tied to holdings in relevant campaign tokens.
Platform Accessibility and Fairness: Joining is cost-free via X login, with support for more than 20 languages, and it's welcoming to smaller accounts, allowing high rankings based on quality rather than follower count. Safeguards against abuse include bot detection, single-account enforcement, and spam penalties. No initial investment is needed, although wallet linkage can boost rewards.
Rewards in Relation to Listed Projects.
Projects collaborate with Wallchain to establish "Mindshare Leaderboards," which are evolving rankings where they commit tokens or portions of their supply as motivators. Users climb these by crafting genuine content focused on the project, such as incorporating its hashtags, tags, or detailed breakdowns, boosting both their Quacks and leaderboard spots. This fosters mutual benefits: users cultivate influence while projects receive authentic buzz. Payouts aren't immediate but occur post-"epoch" (typically 1-2 month campaign periods) through ranking-based snapshots, with top tiers claiming the majority and wider distributions for others. Victors might also get badges that influence upcoming Wallchain perks, like during its token generation event (TGE). The platform itself features a to-be-announced reward pool for its general leaderboard.
Examples of active or recent project leaderboards include idOS (@idOS_network), offering 0.8% of its token supply with Epoch 1 allocating 0.4% and a full distribution across top 150 (60%), 151-500 (35%), and 501-1000 (5% to 50 random winners), ending October 24, 2025, for posts on decentralized identity and early support.
Guys are you already quacking or yet to join?

Topic: How idOS Simplifies Web3
idOS streamlines Web3 identity management by removing complexity, enabling a user experience as fluid as transferring funds.
โข How does @idOS_network achieves this:
โ Single Verification, Universal Access: Users complete a one-time verification (e.g., KYC through trusted providers) and store encrypted data on idOS nodes. This data can be reused across over 40 blockchains (EVM and non-EVM) without repeated submissions. Apps access only required proofs via smart contracts, cutting onboarding time from days to seconds.
โ Self-Sovereign Privacy: Data is encrypted and controlled by users, who manage access through their wallets without relying on third parties. Multi-party computation (via Partisia) removes the need for seed phrases, while Lit Protocol ensures recoverability, maintaining GDPR/AML compliance without compromising personal information.
โ Seamless Developer Integration: A unified SDK enables dApps to connect with multiple chains and KYC providers, handling compliance without storing user data. This reduces risks and fosters user liquidity for smooth experiences, such as Gnosis Payโs debit card integration or NEARโs social media identity solutions.
โ Bot Prevention and Community Incentives : Verifiable credentials curb bot-driven incentive abuse, promoting robust ecosystems. The $IDOS token, with 40% allocated to the community (including airdrops), aligns incentives for issuers, nodes, and users through the Economy Network.
What do you think is the biggest challenge in Web3 identity management, and how can idOS help?
