3rd Version of Electoral Amendment Act submitted by NASS (in Aug 2018) contained ONLY 15 clauses, down from more than 40 in the first two versions. 26 Clauses missing, with no reason or justification. One of these was the section containing Card Reader:

This was from @YIAGA at the time: “The Electoral (Amendment) Act, 2018 bill forwarded by National Assembly to Pres Buhari for assent in August 2018 contained only 15 clauses as opposed to 41 clauses in the original version of the bill. What happened to the remaining 26 clauses?”
.@YIAGA: “In the version of electoral amendment bill transmitted to the President for assent in August 2018, the amendment to Section 49 legalising the use of smart card reader or any other technological device for accreditation of voters was omitted.” premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/…

You haven’t heard the last of the Amaechi ‘tapes’. We are dealing with Principalities & Powers, who‘ll go to any lengths to fight dirty.

1. One of the fraudulently edited clips:

2. The original clip below. See how they edited out the ‘Corruption’ context
Let me summarize it for you. You can confirm what I’m saying in the audio clips above: the published one (taken from the @PremiumTimesng website / YouTube), and the original clip.

You be the judge, and check out the subtle, fraudulent, but professionally done edits yourself.
All over the clips are SUBTLE alterations like this, intended to change context. Cut out a few clarifying words here; join two unrelated bits very cleanly & professionally to alter the meaning/context

It’s actually very depressing - that anyone would go to these devious lengths.

So let's try to round up what we've actually learnt from yesterday's fun and games:

1/
Major point is that the basics of the situation remain the same:
- same lack of majority for any course of action in Parliament
- same WA remains the only text on the table
- same unwillingness of EU to renegotiate anything of substance in WA

2/
However, there have been some developments

Crucially we now have a handle on how big a rebellion May faces on the WA

NASS SALARY ARREARS: Since I posted the quoted tweet below, there has been a lot of debate around this issue. Some have, predictably, politicised the issue. Others have been genuinely intrigued as to who is responsible. I’ll try to throw some light on the issue. Thread...
Apart from legislators, several people work at the National Assembly to support the institution. Some are legislative aids appointed by the legislators. These ones are personal staff of the legislators. Their jobs end once the legislators leave office. Special Assistants.
Others are permanent staff recruited by the National Assembly Service Commision. They are the bureaucrats that run the National Assembly. They handle procurement, make sure things work, help to prepare Bills, keep records and documents, etc. Their boss is the Clerk of NASS.

Short thread:

-Nov 27: Trump submits written responses to Mueller’s SC
-Nov 29: Cohen submits plea deal to SC for lying to Congress
-Rudy Giuliani: “There is 'no contradiction' between Cohen and Trump responses to Mueller”

The timing isn’t coincidental
www-m.cnn.com/2018/11/29/pol…
1. “When asked whether he thought the special counsel team -- which he referred to as "out of control prosecutors" -- intentionally waited to get the President's written answers to questions from the Russia probe before charging Cohen, Giuliani said, "It could be."

Hmmm....
2. He added, "Their sneakiness didn't work if that's what they were trying to do."

I’m calling it now: this is all an act from Giuliani.

If they were really trying to trap Trump, why was Cohen the one charged with lying immediately AFTER Trump submitted his responses to the SC?

According to @jideojong, The notable omitted amendments from the Electoral Amendment Act (June Review) are:
1. Section 49 - Card Reader Provision
2. Section 8 - Section 8 Provision attempting to make INEC staff non-partisan;
3. Section 52 - Which lifts ban on electronic voting;
4. Section 65 (a) - Which paved the way for the creation of the National Electronic Register of Election Results;
5. Section 31(6) - Which criminalises presentation of false affidavit by a candidate or political party which is supposed to lead to disqualification by the court
6. Section 78 (4) - Which would have given INEC 60 days instead of 30 days to respond to applications of political associations seeking to register as political parties.
7 - Section 91 (9)- Which increased individual donations from N1m - N10m while pegging fine at 1% of ceiling

You know what?

Batman Returns is on Netflix so I'm going to watch it like I did with Batman (1989) last week.
It starts even more Tim Burtony than the last one, if that's even possible - miniature mansion in snow with organ and dark Christmas choir

Electoral meddling. Bad. Influencing another countries electoral process for the gain of your own. With each day we get more of an idea of what happened in 2016 with #TrumpRussia
But as a whole,until 2016, the American public were oblivious to what was occurring around the world
America is actually one of the worst countries at this behaviour. In fact the two worst countries are.....Russia and the United States. Combined they have interfered in 117 elections around the world, from 1946 to 2000. Of all elections in whole world in those 54 years, there was
a one in nine interference. That is insane.
One also had to remember that the middle East do not hate the west for no reason. The interference in the 1950s, overthrowing the government in Iran in return for 40% of the oil fields left Iranians under a dictator regime from the
