The bone of contention was how about 40 million paper ballots could be counted so easily by hand and final results tallied and announced by authorities in Tehran in just about 12 hours; in utter difference to past elections which took at least twice as long? So what changed or did the Iranian authorities suddenly learn some art of magical number tabulating, not previously known to mankind? What genius could have counted, by hand, about 40 million ballots, entered same data into the computer, aggregated and transmitted same to the Interior Ministry in Tehran all within just 12 hours? Icheoku says, except that genius is the authorities in Tehran and the existential logistical nightmares suddenly vanished, in a disappearing act? According to one observer, "If they're still using hand counting, that would be very speedy, unusually speedy" indeed? Finally, Icheoku says, while the world awaits in heightened expectation to see how the election snafu in Iran is finally resolved, we pray that Iranians will maintain their tenacity in demanding that their votes be counted correctly and not allow the oppressors of Iran to hijack the election and debase their effort at having a say in who governs them. Once again, congratulations to the people of Iran for your courage against all odds and intimidation, protesting what is rightfully yours - the votes you cast last Friday.

IRANIANS, FIGHTING TO PROTECT THEIR VOTES!
Like Nigeria, the institutionalized authorities in Iran are denying the people the choice they made at the polls last Friday, June 12, 2009; but unlike Nigeria, the Iranian people are not taking it and are fighting back, protesting what everyone suspect was the grandest election rigging and mother of all election frauds in recorded history? Icheoku says, kudos to the Iranian people for standing up to the mullahs of Tehran to preserve your honor and votes! We hope that Nigerians will learn from your example, to become brave-enough to fight back and not turn tail, each time the cabals of Nigeria choose to railroad their wish through and against that of the Nigerian people. As the world watched the built-up momentum that led up to the Friday's election and the apparent support which the opposition candidate had; it becomes very difficult to comprehend what happened and how the incumbent won with such a chasm of a margin, 62.6%? This puzzle would be solved with the understanding of the magical counting of about 40 million handwritten paper ballots in a matter of hours and the declaration of a winner so soon thereafter voting ended? This becomes more complex in the face of the logistical nightmare posed by collating these votes, spread across vast Iranian territories and these were not electronic ballots but hand written paper ballots? To understand how this feat was made possible is to understand what actually happened with the votes of the Iranians. Icheoku says, until these Siamese twins are successfully separated, Iranians might have to deal with four more years of apprehension and bellicosity of Iran, pitted against the entire world under their President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 'landslide victory' is suspect and the endorsement of his 'victory' just few hours after the votes closed by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei further fuels the suspicion of a grand concert by the powers in Iran to rubbish the efforts of the people and maintain one of their own inside Teheran's seat of power. But will Iranians accept this? Icheoku says, we don't think so and if the developments ever since last Friday is an indication, then all hopes are not lost; provided the mass action does not abate. It is encouraging that the supreme leader has now been forced by development, to order an investigation into the alleged election fraud? The leading reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi 33.75% election votes is rather too modest for what should have been following reasonable expectations. This shows that these election-riggers of Iran were not that smart, otherwise they would have made the result to be within a reasonable margin of about 51% to 48%; in which case everybody would have said, oh it was as close as expected and would have moved on? But no, they were as dumb as the thieves they are and the percentages were rather too loud and is now eliciting the present outcry in the streets of Tehran?
