6 Reasons I May Not Vote During The Elections by Naijasinglegirl: 9:33am On Feb 06, 2015
1. It took me a whole day to register for a voters card and another three days to get a PVC which I eventually collected yesterday, both in a disorganised queue where the electoral officers hastily attended to people who bribed them with as little as N500. Others like me were told to follow due process. Due process that took them 3 days before they got to my turn.
How would I be encouraged to vote if the process is that tedious and corrupt?

2. Last time I checked, the policies that affect me and other youths aren’t discussed to nearly the same extent in the media, nor are they reflected in politicians’ priorities. Okay, I lied.
I’m actually looking for a job in a public primary school so I can eat one FREE meal per day.

3. Will my vote count? I was once posted to a rural community to stand in as a presiding officer during a certain INEC elections. Majority of people that came out to vote were illiterates bearing the same surname.

PS: Most poor couples in these communities have nothing to do for a living so they just spend all their time at home having s*x. The only thing they have in their house is a bed and pot. As expected, this is the reason why unemployed people keep dropping children every new moon.
If you have no source of income, you should consider a proper family planning method or you would continue selling your vote, your wife, your children and that of your children’ children for a half bag of rice.

4. In the early 90’s, my school assembly march usually ended with,

‘Parents, listen to your children
We are the leaders of tomorrow
Try and pay our school fees
And give us sound education’

In the past couple of years, I have been job hunting, generator is still our major source of power, standby PHCN is its alternative, I spent 6 years in the university for a 4-year course, a cup of garri is now N45, Nutri C has been reduced from 18g to 13g, titus sardine now has two fishes . . .etc
Which political candidate do I believe?


5. February 14th is Valentine’s day. I may be single but I intend to treat it as such.

6. I don’t believe all these promises by our politicians. However, I am inclined to consider this tempting offer a chance.
That is, if I leave my bed on the 14th.

Vote for GMB, I am very sure that before the end of this year that 'single' in your name will varnish.

You and your potential husband will have something doing in a very good atmosphere, don't mind those claiming the man is old, he is probably not older than the Queen of England.

You still need to vote for the person whom you think will make things prosper.

This is the third report I have received alleging extortion of voters by INEC officials. The first report alleged that voters in a ward (Lekki Area) in Eti-Osa local government of Lagos were also being strong armed by INEC officials before the release of their PVCs. As I write this, my wife is going through the same thing. angry
Could you give details of your area so that if we intend to file a report with the state REC we will have some details to back up the report? Thanks.


P.S. I am surprised the free market champions among us have not showed up to say the solution to this is privatizing INEC or removing the 'subsidy' on INEC's services. Can anyone explain how a free citizen's right to collect his voters card has turned into an extortion racket by staff of the electoral commission?

There are other presidential candidates apart from the two main contenders. Surely, out of 10 candidates at least 1 should meet your requirements.

If you sit on the fence, you lose the right to complain if things get worse. Do your research and cast your vote for a candidate who meets your requirements. Elections come round once in 4 years. Surely, you can make this sacrifice? There'll still be rice and chicken after the election. tongue And I'm sure your spouse and children will be there to enjoy the feast with you whenever you decide to tuck in. . .
