No one in politics is worth your blood... Even that politician's child won't die for his father. The truth is, he is somewhere being prepared to take over from his father.

Look at this scenario;

Moyosore Ogunlewe, the son of a former Minister of Works and PDP chieftain, Mr. Adeseye Ogunlewe, will contest the Kosofe Constituency seat

Jimi Mohammed, son of Lai Mohammed, is set to contest the Lagos State House of Assembly election.

Babajide Obanikoro, the son of Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro will contest the Eti-Osa Constituency II
And you opt to engage in election violence!

Use your head!
You don't have to be in chains to be a slave.
Slavery starts from the mind and then your actions
Be aware

Before you take that violent action, in the name of a politician, ask yourself if he is fighting with you. Ask where his kids are, and if they are in the battle too, else you are being used. There is a million and one way to settle difference and crowd mentality of violence isn’t one. You can ask those who have lost their lives, if you can. Step back, for misery and deceit would always need company, reject it! Stay off violence, for one breed another. The apple never falls too far from a tree. A religion or leader who instigates violence gives a clue of his person or cause. Look around you, the type of thoughts and people you have pushing you to fight, what they fight for and attract gives a clue of where you'd be, a dead end. And I mean literally and in metaphor. Look at the brighter side of life, there’s only a second chance for the living and you only live once, why end yours now.

Maybe it’s time to think through your thoughts and actions. Before you make up your mind, open it! Today is Unity Day. You can join us at Nigerian Airways ground by noon, today
