'Concerned Nigerians' Accuse INEC Of Plotting To Rig 2019 Elections For APC

A group, Concerned Nigerians, has alleged plans by some individuals within the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to electronically rig the 2019 general election.

The group, led by Deji Adeyanju, alleged that the electronic collation portal of the commission had been compromised, as it no longer shows location and date of collation of results.

Addressing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Adeyanju expressed worries over the credibility of the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, for agreeing to a meeting with Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Alluding to the effectiveness of e-collation, Adeyanju, however stated that the outcome of the election would not be credible if the device does not reflect location, date and time of the collation.

He said: "The validity of results of the 2019 elections will be tied to the credibility of the e-collation portal, especially the imputing of results real-time from polling units across the country.

Therefore, if the e-collation will not reflect time, date and location where results are entered from, it means the outcome of the elections will not be credible.

The implication of this is that anyone can enter results from any location, at any time and on any date.

"We know for a fact that the correct system at INEC is that the commission shared the e-collation portal three states per commissioner.

This was how Amina Zakari was able to view election result collation in real-time and divulge same to her accomplices in APC to help ensure that the Osun State governorship election was inconclusive.

"We are worried that if unlimited access is given to the 12 National Commissioners to view e-collation of results as currently obtained, they will compromise the 2019 elections, since many of them are APC sympathisers.

The group demanded that the commission grants only the national chairman the access to view the e-collation of results on the INEC portal on election day to prevent manipulation of the 2019 elections.

They also demanded that for the next general election to be regarded as credible, free and fair, the commission should restore the former e-collation system and ensure all electronically collated results on their portal reflect time of input of result, location and date.

Andrew Metrick: Lessons for the Crisis Fighters - Duration: 6:01.

- We certainly don't have conclusions

but we have some theses.

And we have some hints of things

that may become conclusions.

Let me frame what I would say the

biggest one is at this stage.

Which is that there is a tension

that all governments have when they're

fighting a crisis between two things.

One is the very real desire to

punish people who may have taken on

a lot of risks perhaps impudently

or who have made mistakes or who you just think

look they were going to get the upside

so they should get the downside too.

Part of this is what Tim Geithner

calls Old Testament justice.

Just the feeling of what is right.

But part of it is the honest belief that some people have

that if you want to avoid having financial crises

in the future you need to make sure that people who know

that they are in trouble or taking too much risk

are going to feel the consequences of their actions

and thus might take on a little less risk

when they're making those decisions in the future.

So that's one side of the equation.

The other side of the equation is that

in a crisis moment itself

it's often very hard to separate out

who really is in trouble and who is just

being carried along with the crowd.

When you get runs on banks it's simpler for people

to just take their money out of all of banks

than to spend weeks and months

trying to figure out which bank is actually healthy and not.

So therefore institutions that are

participating in the markets are always

looking for ways to demonstrate that

they themselves are healthy in a crisis.

And so whenever a government puts into place a program

that might help some institutions,

strong institutions immediately want to say

we don't need it.

Which stigmatizes the help and makes any institution

that goes for that help be treated in the market

as though they were about to fail

and it tends to then fold back on itself

as accelerating the panic.

Which is really quite difficult.

If you know that many many institutions are really solvent

but are in desperate need of liquidity

and you make liquidity available to those institutions.

Then simply by making use of that liquidity

those institutions might be telling the market

that they're much worse off than they are.

So they're reluctant to even use

the rescues that, and be punished for the rescues

that they kind of need but not

through any fault of their own.

And in a crisis we have the debate all the time

ultimately that comes down often to people's core beliefs

about how important Old Testament justice is

versus how important it is to rescue the system.

What we've discovered I would say through

just looking at the examples we've looked at so far

is that meeting out Old Testament justice

in a surprising way, in a way that people weren't expecting

in the midst of a crisis tends to make things worse.

Without the consummate benefit that

you think you might be getting.

So some countries were much tougher

on their bankers than others.

So the United Kingdom was fairly tough

on their senior management at banks

and more aggressive in

going after people for criminal penalties.

But the United Kingdom had pretty much

just the same tough reaction against the government's

actions as we had here in the United States.

Where the evidence is that we weren't as tough.

We didn't meet out as much Old Testament justice.

So one would think that's a benefit

but you don't end up really getting it.

Certainly when you are fighting a crisis you want to have

you are in a different kind of situation

than if you're just facing a

failure of a single institution.

So we've put into place automatic

processes in a lot of countries

that will take place if a large financial institution fails.

Many of these processes were not in place

prior to the global financial crisis.

I think, and many of the people that we interviewed

for the group of 30 project think,

that these processes will work really well

if it's one large institution that's

gotten in trouble for idiosyncratic reasons.

So you have a large institution,

they made some mistakes, they had some fraud,

they made a bad bet, and their failing,

these are really good processes to have.

I would say there's skepticism

about whether those in place operator or a processes

that have been set up will work

if five or six large institutions

need to go through them at once.

So there's a sense in which in a systemic crisis,

meaning you're concerned that

a big chunk of your financial system might be insolvent.

And because of that concern people are running from it.

In a systemic crisis a lot of the

regular things that we've put in place

to handle idiosyncratic failure

might turn out to be counter productive.

Why Work for a company that promotes individual growth and success? - Duration: 1:30.

hey my name is Jessica and I have been with progressive Home Services for about six months now

prior to PHS I was with Bell and in University the three biggest benefits

that I have experience working with PHS is definitely confidence in myself and

my abilities to bring the best solution to any in any predicament what that

entails is having a high emotional intelligence and balancing strategic

thinking and dealing with everything with empathy also knowing your strengths

and weaknesses and believing that the rest will follow

one thing that I enjoyed the most about PHS is definitely the team team members

we are surrounded by a group of strong individuals who have clear vision and

direction also we are a team of leaders that implement strong values in each

other and in the work that we do I would recommend PHS to anyone that is willing

to make the best out of themselves and be surrounded by individuals with big

goals and lead an adventurous lifestyle one of hope that really exemplifies PHS

is definitely "a journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step", so I

welcome anyone who joins this team

Sustain in 60 #9 - Best exercise for fat loss - Duration: 1:00.

Sustain in 60! Exercise enjoyment. So one of the most popular questions we get

is "What's the best exercise for fat loss?" and it's our view that it's the exercise that

you're going to do. Yes there's going to be optimal systems, there's going to be optimal

workouts, things like that, but if you don't do those consistently ,because you

don't enjoy them and you find excuses not to do them, then they're not going to

be optimal. I'd rather you did something that is sub-optimal, that you're going to

do consistently and you're going to enjoy. Ultimately, the people who are best at

keep their weight off are the ones who do the most exercise, so it's no good doing

something that's really effective for a short period of time, that you can't keep

doing for the rest of your life. So you need to find something that gives you pleasure

and enjoyment and you actually look forward to doing or at least you feel

good after doing it, and then consistently do that. There's going to be

no benefit from doing something for six weeks and giving in. I'm not massive

fan of Zumba but if you're going to go to Zumba three / four times a week and really enjoy

it, that's going to be better than you hanging around in the back of a circuit class

pretending to do burpees.

Relationship Mastery Milestones for 4 Day Work Week Apprentices - Duration: 9:16.

- In the 4-Day Work Week Journey

there are 4 stages I've identified that most people

proceed to as they gain mastery.

The first stage I'd like to call

the 4-Day Work Week Apprentice.

This is when we focus on maximizing our life

outside of work without needing to change jobs.

So even though over time we might evolve eventually

to being an entrepreneur or business owner

or the next step a 4-Day Work Week Worker.

At some point we want to be able to master

our ability to optimize life outside of work.

These things include our relationships,

how we invest our time, how we invest our money,

and the things we posses.

Now in any of these stages, there are certain milestones,

or steps you achieve, where it's really kind

confirmed that you kind of mastered this.

And in the step where we look at the relationships

where that part of being a 4-Day Work Week Apprentice

there are 10 things I've identified.

Now, you might not agree with every one of them

or you might decide to tweak it for yourself.

But here's what I found that worked for me and people I know

when I'm on top of things.

Now to be really clear, I'm a human.

Sometimes I'm on top of these, sometimes I'm not.

But when I am on top of these

my life goes infinitely better than when I'm not.

So the first thing is taking about 30 minutes a day

to develop and nurture your relationship with God or Spirit

or whatever you happen to believe in.

Now if you say wait, I don't believe in that.

That's okay.

Maybe it's just 30 minutes to be with yourself,

to be with your thoughts.

However you're going to look at that.

But time to kind of disconnect from the world

and not be present to a lot of the chaos and the overwhelm

of a lot of the experience every day.

And in each of these things what I'm going to show you

is rather than us just talking about it I'm going to

show you where this can be something that you decide

A) am I going to do this, B) what's the target date I'm going to

set for this, and then you can track the status on for you.

If you're just listening to this you'll be able to see

there's a worksheet that goes along with this

that you can download as well.

The second thing is having the time and the attention,

and that's important, not just the time,

but the present attention for one family gathering

or event each week.

Now, again, if you don't have family nearby,

you might modify this.

You might say, your loved ones or the people who are like

family to you.

The third thing is time and attention, again, both necessary

for one social gathering or event each week.

This is extremely important if you already do have family

and separate from that you have friends or other people

other than your family.

If we really only ever focus on relying on our immediate

family or a certain group of people to always be there for

us and always be that means of satisfying our social needs,

there can be a lot of pressure on them.

So being able to have other people that are social,

peers, friends, influences as well

can be extremely important.

The next one, if you like to,

you don't have to do this but most people find that when

they have time and attention for one romantic date

or event each week.

I know for me when I get time with my wife

the week goes so much better

and when we've gone a few weeks and we've not gotten to that

for whatever reason maybe 'cause work's just getting too

serious or life's too serious

and we just couldn't find a babysitter.

That's something that makes life not as enjoyable

so we're not optimizing the time that we already

have available to us.

Time and attention to be fully present for family meals

at least one hour a day.

Now a lot of these I'm putting time indications on it

or numbers on it to try to give you an anchor

because if I just say well, some time's family time.

A lot of us have a tendency to let ourselves off the hook

or simply not be clear in implementing that.

So I'm going to suggest to you that family meals,

whether it's two meals a day, or a half hour each,

or three meals for 20 minutes, or one for an hour.

About an hour of just time with your family

and being present with them.

This is one of the things that a lot of people find,

especially in the western cultures, where we can be so fast

paced and so trying to achieve,

(exhales)

that we don't make time to just be present

and be with each other and so there's a combination there.

It's a little bit of managing our time.

But it's also about making time for and valuing

our most important relationships.

Time and attention to be fully present for family members

at least one hour a day outside of meals.

My family likes to play board games sometimes.

It seems almost so trivial.

Well you say, wait, you've played that game before.

It's not about the game.

It's about being present and no disrespect to television

but it's not the same as sitting in front of the TV

with your family for an hour.

If you also choose to do that,

that's great, but in my experience you're not going to get

the same level of connection if you're actually

interacting with each other.

Regular on a monthly basis or more often

forgiveness practices to maintain your psychological

and emotional health and just to heal relationships.

There's different ways to do this.

Different religions have practices.

There's different psychological tools.

There's all sorts of different ways.

There's a thing that I learned form a teacher,

Deepak Chopra, that he just has a mantra and says hey,

you know what, I can choose to hold on to grievances

or I can choose the positive side or some miracle behind it

and so I'm going to let go of my grievances.

I'm going to let go of the things that I'm mad about

and I'm going to choose to look for the miracle,

for the forgiveness, for the opportunity and that.

And for me, going through that and saying that

five to 10 times whenever I remember to do.

I don't always remember to it but when I do

it just helps me remember okay,

and I kind of check things off.

Okay, let's let go of that one, that wasn't a big deal.

That's not gonna matter a year from now,

that's not gonna matter a day from now, great.

And just, letting that out

and just kind of moving forward.

Very important.

If we're going to look to have more time off

and more time in the 4-Day Work Week

and more extended time.

We're gonna want to put ourselves in a situation

where we're enjoying our time outside of work.

So this is a huge part of that.

Contacting our important relationships,

even if they're long distance, at least on a monthly

basis to stay connected.

This is one of the wonderful things that does come

from social media if you're able to connect on

let's say Facebook or Instagram

in a way that you find healthy and beneficial for you.

You can connect with people and stay in touch

with people you haven't seen for years.

And being able to maintain relationships

is one of the things that is very important

and if you haven't heard there's that book The Five Regrets

of the Dying and one of the regrets of the dying

was I wish I hadn't worked so much and another regret was

I wish I stayed in touch with my friends.

And so that's such a huge piece of happiness personally

and our needs as social beings.

Number nine, this is so huge,

and again, these are signals of mastery,

so we can move towards these.

It's not going to be perfect,

but when you find you're spending zero time

in organizations, or companies that you don't respect

or believe in, that's a really good sign.

And notice I didn't say organizations or jobs

that ask you to do work you don't like to do.

Everybody's gotta do some work they don't always like to do

but if you just don't believe in the cause in

a fundamental way or if you don't respect the organization

or the company it's probably a good idea

over the long run that you get out of there

and you go somewhere else.

And then finally, less than one hour a week with people

or groups you don't wish to see.

Now there's an asterisk next to that because sometimes

you might have family connections or in-laws or people

that you just see and for the sake of the family

you go see that group and yet,

you might say, well,

I don't like that person or that person.

I wouldn't choose to hang out with them individually.

So there's an asterisk there because again,

you might make choices or there might be certain people

that you hang our in a group because the group

does something and you like the group activity.

But you wouldn't choose to hang out

with them as individuals.

Again, life's not perfect, but for the most part

you're in a situation where you're not engaged

in the relationships that you don't want to be in

and you're making lots of time for the relationships

with the people you want to be engaged in.

I hope you find that helpful,

understanding these mastery milestones

for your relationships.

Again, we want to help you make more money in less time

doing what you do best.

But if, after we do that,

you're not enjoying your relationships outside of work,

we still have work to do.

I hope you find this helpful.

Dental Prosthetic Services: The Value of Investing in IT for Small Businesses - Duration: 3:59.

Dental Prosthetics is a family-owned business.

We were founded in 1972 by my parents and they retired in '94, and I bought it with

a partner, and we've grown from 3 people in 1972 to over 90 people now.

Well, my qualifications were I was the only person that worked there that had a computer.

So, when something broke they just said, "You come over here and fix this."

As far as our relationship with Circle began, we started inquiring to other businesses about,

"Well, who do you use?"

And then we kept hearing Circle Computer, we kept hearing that name, and I didn't know

much about 'em, but everybody had really good feedback about this company.

And they were willing to work with this little budding IT department that we had, and sort

of help support me because there was things that I couldn't do.

I was on the road to - I was in Illinois, and one of your employees calls me on the

phone and says, "Hey, your business is on fire."

And I'm like, "What?!"

And so, they were calling me and making suggestions, like, "John, we think you need to back up

all your data and confirm that it's all okay."

And I'm like, "Yeah, let's do that."

The fact that I wasn't physically there - it was like I was there because Circle -

you know, it's on the weekend, by the way.

These people are doing this from their home, you know.

They're calling me from their house and they're getting on their laptops and they're remoting

into our business and they're taking over and they're saving all of our data, which

we came to find out was the most crucial thing we could ever rely on in our recovery.

When Kris gave me that directive after the flood of '08 in Cedar Rapids, she said, "We

need a disaster recovery plan."

And I'm like, "We're not by the river.

What do we need a - you know.

Little did I know, we needed one."

And so, but the key was, I did get in contact with Circle, and they said, "We need to come

up with a better backup plan," and that's when that started, and I'm so glad we listened

to that 'cause that is what we needed.

We needed access to our data, and then having that remote strategy already in place to be

able to access it from a parking lot or somebody else's conference room or wherever we were,

if we didn't listen to that - it's like buying insurance.

Kris and I were talking about this - you know, you hate to pay for it, but boy, when you

need it, you are so glad you did.

First of all, are our employees all safe and do they know that they're gonna be well-cared

for?

And then second was, "Let's find another building really quick."

And before all of that, you know, the third thing would have been, "How do we reach out

to our customers?"

And like I said: before I ever got to that point in thinking, I already had an answer

that no, our data is safe.

All of our patient records are safe, all of our accounting is safe, all of our marketing,

everything that you would run a business with was already safe, protected, backed up, off-site.

I didn't have to worry about it.

I knew we could get to it when we needed it.

As a business owner, you always look at the P&L and say, "Are we spending our money in

the best way?" and you always look at the IT and say, "Is something that we need?"

and absolutely you need it.

There is not enough insurance money in the world to recover the data that we could have lost.

There's just absolutely not enough.

Make sure that you have a partner in your IT supplier and make sure that you are doing

the things you need to do to protect your data.

It's just one of those things that it's invaluable.

Should Derrick Rose Become a Starter for the Timberwolves? | Heavy.com - Duration: 4:53.

Should Derrick Rose Become a Starter for the Timberwolves? | Heavy.com

Derrick Rose has come a long way since his 2012 ACL tear.

He's currently having his best season since at least 2016, if not 2011, and is coming off of a career-high 50-point night last night against the Utah Jazz.

He's recently made public his goal to win the Sixth Man of the Year award, but with him averaging almost 20 points now off the bench for the Timberwolves, what's keeping him from becoming a starter in Minnesota?.

Rose vs. Teague.

Jeff Teague–who usually takes the floor initially with Rose as a backup–is averaging not-quite 13 points per game on the season and 5 assists per game.

He's a good point guard, but Rose averages more points and just as many assists when he comes in off the bench.

The two guards are the same age but the obvious concern with Rose taking the helm is his more-fragile health.

A sidelining injury would be as emotionally debilitating as it would be logistically, and in some ways placing Rose in the starting lineup or giving him too many minutes would be asking for trouble.

If he can stay healthy though–and he may, he's learned his lesson about over-exertion–Rose could be a productive starter and effective leader on the floor for the Timberwolves.

Proving His Worth.

Rose has proven his worth so far this season, playing better and more like himself than he has in years.

He's putting up numbers akin to his MVP season, but besides the numbers, he just looks better.

The past few years have had him walking on eggshells but so far this season he's playing aggressively and comfortably.

He doesn't look so afraid of getting hurt.

Maybe that's why he hasn't yet.

His value is indisputable when he plays at this level.

Besides his obvious skill and experience, his tough emotional journey has given him a maturity and perspective that was missing in his younger days.

He's much more composed now–if a bit less explosive, though that's probably a good thing–and if a 50-point night after being put in the starting lineup isn't a good case for becoming a starter, I don't know what is.

Jimmy Butler May Open Up the Spot.

If nothing else, it's very possible that with the departure of Jimmy Butler will open up a spot for Rose in the starting lineup, with him either taking on the role of point guard or staying at the 2 as a shooting guard.

Rose has certainly made a case for that, since as noted above it was Butler's absence last night that allowed him the starting position and subsequent 50-point game.

All of this makes the Timberwolves an even more intriguing team to watch this season.

Once Butler finally goes, it'll be interesting to see what happens with Rose in Minnesota.
