PVC COLLECTION STARTS TODAY!

If you registered for your PVC or applied for a replacement, please visit the INEC office where you registered to collect your PVC.

[Mundus @mundus01]

Today we wrote to 30+ multinational funders, election partners and diplomatic missions that support or engage with INEC, urging them to back five concrete transparency commitments ahead of 2027.

We also sent a 130- page evidence pack that supports our advocacy with data and facts.
And we drew their attention to Nyesom Wike's interview on TVC yesterday.

If a politician can say he "stopped" a candidate from winning, and legitimacy is whatever INEC declares, then INEC's systems must be transparent and independently verifiable.

We will keep pushing.

Your laptop can have 16GB RAM, Core i7 and still be a very bad purchase.

Before buying a laptop, take not of these 10 things:

1.🔹Go for SSD instead of HDD.

SSD makes the laptop significantly faster when booting, opening apps and transferring files. It also doesn't make the spinning noise HDDs make.

You can check by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc → then Performance → then Disk.

2.🔹Having a high RAM isn't enough.

A laptop with 16GB RAM and a weak or old processor can still perform poorly. So it's important to check the processor.

3.🔹 Focus more on the generation of the processor rather than just “Core i5” or “Core i7.”

Never assume an i7 is automatically better than an i5. A newer-generation i5 can outperform an older-generation i7, depending on the specific processors.

When you check the model number for most Intel Core processors, the number immediately after the hyphen tells you the generation.

For example:
i7-6500U = 6th Gen
i5-8250U = 8th Gen
i7-1165G7 = 11th Gen
i5-1235U = 12th Gen
i7-13700H = 13th Gen

4.🔹Don't ignore battery health, especially when buying a used laptop.

To check on a Windows laptop, open Command Prompt and type: powercfg /batteryreport

This will generate a battery report showing the design capacity and full charge capacity. The bigger the gap, the more the battery has degraded.

5.🔹Check the screen quality, not just the size.

A 15.6-inch screen isn't automatically better than a 14-inch one. To confirm, go to Settings → System → Display → Advanced display to check the resolution and refresh rate.

6.🔹Check whether the RAM and SSD can be upgraded.

Some newer laptops have their RAM already soldered, meaning you may not be able to increase it later.

7.🔹Check the ports you need.

USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, SD card slot, headphone jack and other ports can make a difference depending on what you use the laptop for.

8.🔹For a used laptop, test everything.

Don't just open the laptop, see that it boots.

Test the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, microphone, webcam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, charging port, USB ports, HDMI, hinges and screen.

Open a document and test every key. Play audio through the speakers. Connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Plug in a USB device and test the charger.

9.🔹Buy according to your needs.

For browsing, Microsoft Office, online classes and basic work, you don't necessarily need a high-end laptop.

For programming, heavy multitasking or professional software, you need a strong processor and sufficient RAM.

For video editing, 3D work and serious graphics work, you have to pay attention to the GPU, processor, RAM and display.

For gaming, don't focus on RAM alone. The dedicated GPU, processor, cooling system and display matter a lot.

Stay informed
And
Stay sharp! 🪒

I woke up to a detailed message from the Director of ICT at INEC explaining what they are doing to fix the vulnerabilities I identified in the IReV portal.

Hopefully, they can get this sorted as soon as possible.

Also, just to clarify: the issue with the website and casino links wasn’t what I raised with them privately a few days ago.

It was after I made the post about INEC not responding to my email that I discovered the casino links. Since I didn’t get a response regarding the IReV issue, I felt there was no point going that route, hence the post that has now went viral.

This election depends heavily on technology - BVAS and IReV and we want INEC to carry out its duty with the level of diligence and responsibility that it deserves.

Nigerians are watching.

[Mundus @mundus01]

This cannot possibly be allowed.

[Mundus @mundus01]

I found multiple casino and gambling articles hosted directly on @inecnigeria official website.

I am not talking about INEC linking to casino websites. These are actual gambling pages published under inecnigeria dot org.

For example:
inecnigeria. org/discover-the-excitement-of-instant-casino-france/

I identified about 28 gambling/casino pages hosted on the official INEC website.

Most of the clearest cluster was published under the WordPress author name “Ajuma Achor.”

I checked further and found that a person with the same name, Ajuma Achor, worked with Interra Networks, a technology vendor that has worked on INEC’s website. Her LinkedIn appears to indicate that she left Interra some years ago.

That raises two worrying possibilities:

Either INEC’s website has been compromised for a long time without anyone noticing, possibly through an old or compromised publishing account;

or someone with access to INEC’s website is abusing that access to publish casino content, potentially as paid SEO placements.

I don't know which one exactly.

But either scenario is frightening.

Because if someone can quietly publish dozens of casino pages on INEC’s official website, then the bigger question is: what stops that same access from being used on election day to publish false information, fake results or a misleading announcement capable of causing chaos across the country?

This needs more than deleting the casino pages. INEC needs to determine who has publishing access, how these pages got there, and whether that access still exists.

@channelstv @seunonigbinde @YIAGA @MobilePunch @thecableng @SaharaReporters @vanguardngrnews

[Mundus @mundus01]

Even though these pages have now been deleted, they were already archived on the Wayback Machine. We need a thorough independent audit of INEC's technical infrastructure.

Nigerians, the worst has happened.
INEC’s website has been hacked by a French gambling company.

Can INEC explain why their website was intercepted by a French casino company? @inecnigeria

Every Nigerian should raise their voice on this!
