Elections: INEC says 333, 610 PVCs yet to be collected in Kaduna

 

Permanent voters card.
Barely three days to the deadline for the collection of Permanent Voter Cards, the Independent National Electoral Commission on Tuesday said 333,610 PVCs were yet to be collected in Kaduna State.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Alhaji Kaugama Abdullahi, made the disclosure to the News Agency of Nigeria in Kaduna.
Abdullahi said INEC had registered 3,932,492 voters in the state, with 3,598,882 PVCs already collected leaving a balance of 333,610 PVCs yet to be collected as at Monday, February 4.
The Commissioner said that the distribution of the PVCs was going on in all INEC offices across the 23 local government areas in the state and would terminate on February 8.
Meanwhile, the Resident Commissioner said INEC had created 8,012 Voting Points within the existing 5,102 Polling Units in the 255 wards to ease voting in the state.
According to him, many of the polling units were congested, with some having more than 2000 voters, a situation that necessitated the creation of the voting points to ensure that eligible voters exercise their franchise with ease.
“ The maximum number of voters in each Polling Unit (PU) is 750 persons, that is the reason why we created the voting points within the PUs for smooth exercise.”

MY SUICIDE NOTE

I’ve read about two suicide cases in two days. One was about #segun and the other one about the UNN student who had a first class. A lot of people’s comments have been so cruel and all they call them is cowards, selfish, weak and so many other unprintable names. These guys and many more who have committed or attempted suicide didn’t want to die. They love life like you and me but all they wanted to was to end the pain and dying looks like it’s what gives them the avenue to do that. Pain can alter you forever. Pain can make you unrecognizable to yourself. What we also need to know is that everyone’s threshold for pain is different. I have had two babies and I can tell you that the last pain nearly took me out until the gynecologist offered me an option for Caesarean or Epidural Injection. Meanwhile, some people can handle labor pain well even for the next 48 hours without any form of relief. Does that make me less of a woman? NO!! It just means I have a low threshold

Female genital mutilation

Good morning my wonderful people! Its a beautiful Monday morning, I'm so excited to write to you today😊😊 I really want to discus a very important issue happening right around us, in our society that lots of us ignore. I call it an Abominable act perpetrated by our parents and still perpetrating by ignorant people. My people I bring today's topic to you ' FEMALE GINITAL MUTILATION' Introduction: Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes any procedure that alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. In its most severe form, after removing the sensitive clitoris, the genitals are cut and stitched closed so that the woman cannot have or enjoy sex. A tiny piece of wood or reed is inserted to leave a small opening for the necessary flow of urine, and monthly blood when she comes of age (most FGM is carried out on infants or young girls before they reach puberty). When she is ready to have sex and a baby, she is "unstitched" - a

ARE YOU REPEATING THE MISTAKES OF YOUR PARENTS?

I come across a lot of people who when I have a discussion with, they tell me how they don’t need to go through Healing or Therapy because they can’t seem to remember being wounded and as such don’t need it. The truth is a lot of us have been wounded unknowingly by our parents, siblings, friends, spouses, colleagues and society in general and we have no idea.  Most of us are living a life that have been handed to us by our parents, environment and significant emotional experiences and we don’t even know. There are four stages of knowing that I have come to realize. 1) Those who don’t know that they don’t know that anything is wrong with them. 2) Those who know that something is wrong and have resigned to fate. 3) Those who know that something is wrong and they want a change but won’t do anything about it. 4) Those who know that there is a problem, they want a change and are ready to go through the process of making a change. So, which one are you? Are you living the
