 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday.

PRAMILLA IS A HEADTEACHER IN SRI LANKA, DESPITE HER ACHIEVEMENTS, HER FAMILY AREN'T IMPRESSED. (PHOTO).


At only 26 years old, Pramilla is a headteacher at a school in Sri Lanka. Despite her achievements, her family aren’t impressed…
 
"Some families... they don't accept when a young girl is independent and she takes all the decisions in her life,” she tells us.
 
According to the World Bank, just over a third of Sri Lankan women participate in the labour market - significantly less than the global average of 50%. For many decades, there has been a prevailing societal stereotype that women are primarily responsible for managing households, while men are expected to be the breadwinners.  

But some women have challenged and overcome these views. 

Pramila says her family were conflicted about her getting a job and living independently - although happy that she's supporting the family, they weren't so sure about her living alone to do that.

"They told me that you can work for a couple of years in our own town and then get married to someone who my father knows. When I denied that, I found my own accommodation, I paid for it. My parents were really furious… If I go back to my hometown now, there would be lots of people asking me when I'm going to get married.”

"If I move back, they will make me get married. I’d have to lead a typical girl life. I don't want to be like that. I couldn't continue my job.”

"They hate my job because they think that my job changed me."
