I haven't solicited for help here for a while now but this person needs our help urgently. 29 year old Seyi Oguntade (pictured left) got electrocuted by a high tension wire on the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2014671522" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">27th of March</span></span> 2014.<br /><br />Seyi, a former truck off-loader with haulage company Billy James Nigeria LTD in Apapa had gone to offload goods at a company with the driver of the company's truck on that fateful day but when they got there, the company security told them it was too late to offload anything, that they should come back the next morning. Because it was a long journey back to where they were coming from, Seyi and the truck driver decided to spend the night there until morning. They then parked their truck under an electric pole and slept inside. During the night, a high tension wire fell on the truck, electrocuting the men. The truck driver died instantly, Seyi lost his face.<br /><br />He's currently in LUTH and needs about N10million for reconstructive surgery. Above right is Seyi's mother, wife, his two children and his brother.<br /><br />To donate: First Bank - Saint Vincent The Paul - 2026864396 (they are the ones raising money for him).

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Attahiru Jega, has said he cannot guarantee if elections will hold in March or not, stating that major part of it still has to do with the issue of security, which only the Military can clarify. Jega appeared before the Senate yesterday and when asked by the Minority Leader, Senator George Akume, to give a clear assurance about the dates of the elections, Jega said;<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think it is a very difficult question to answer. I have said consistently that there are things under the control of electoral commission and there are things that are not under the control of electoral commission. For things that are under our control, I can give definite and categorical assurances. On what is not under our control, it is futile, it is fruitless and useless to give a definite guarantee on them. I think that question should be directed appropriately. The questions of security, I will leave it, I don’t think I am competent to answer it sufficiently.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When asked what his response would be if the security agencies requested a further delay, Jega said doing so would be illegal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Every Nigerian knows we want elections to hold… within a constitutional time frame.   The security agencies are (made up of) patriotic Nigerians. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. We should be fair also to the military. Soldiers are also patriotic Nigerians. I don’t see how anybody will contemplate any extension beyond these six weeks. There is no constitutional grounds upon which you can do that. For us, we work by the constitution, by the law. That is what is guiding us and we should all put the interest of the nation at heart. The human factor is always significant, it is always important but we believe that working together with security and other stakeholders, we should be able to prevent negative human intervention that can create problems.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I kept saying consistently that INEC is not a security organisation. We are an election management body; so we rely a lot on security to be able to ensure that things are done well and that there is no disruption of the electoral process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We have been working very closely with the inter agencies consultative committee on election security and that is why for us, if the service chiefs say that we can’t guarantee security, give us more time, what is the alternative security arrangements ?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If we consulted with the stakeholders and we cannot find an answer, what happens? We are going to use close to 700, 000 ad hoc staff. We can’t send people to the field in that kind of a situation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Our prayer is that in the next six weeks, there will be significant improvement in the security situation for us to hold the elections all over this country in a very secure environment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal">
“There are certain questions that we are not really competent to answer. Certain questions should be directed to the military; they can answer them better.”</div>
