The elections are here again. It happens just once in four years. God knows when,after the postponement Nigerians who are 18 and above who have registered and obtained their PVC (permanent voters card) would head to the polls to perform their civic rights and Vote in their representatives at different levels of government.

Prior to that time, it is important that we remind ourselves about the importance of this exercise and how it affects us individually.

1. As a Nigerian who has obtained a PVC. It is important you cast your vote. It is the only way you can start a change or keep the current administration in office.

2. Your Vote is priceless. No gift or money is worth your vote. It is your voice.

3. You are responsible for your decisions. Be wise and reasonable about whom you cast your vote for.

4. Don't vote for a party. Vote for your preferred candidate. Vote for the candidate of your choice.

5. Avoid heated argument and detesting comments about a party or a candidate (You don't know who's listening)

Nigerians have outgrown the days when we believe we have no business being at the polls as a result of insecurity and other contributing factors, our electoral system has experienced a massive change. The events of the past years have positively or negativity been an eye opener for all Nigerians and everyone is motivated to exercise his/her civic right.

We are hereby enjoined to exercise our rights peacefully, shun violence and be good ambassadors of our families as we head to the polls.

May the best man win!
