Reasons to have a peaceful election (Graphic Photos Inclusive) by LadyX(f): 4:16pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
In many countries, election period is usually filled with lots of propaganda and tension. Nigeria is no exception. We have read and seen pictures of dead people or those injured during election campaign. That's why I'm advocating for a peacefull election. Vote in peace bearing in mind that violence has dire consequences. Effects of violence 1. Death Without doubt, violence results in loss of life and serious injuries, which might leave you handicapped. 2. Loss of property Criminals get the opportunity to loot because no one will sue them for theft. 3. Rape Some people take advantage of women and rape them. They know that no one will punish them for breaking the law. The victim might be your mother, sister, wife, daughter, cousin, friend or neighbour. 4. Economic recession or downfall Investors will flee and no one will want to invest in an insecure country for fear of loss of their money. 5. Interference with education Children will not go to school when there is violence. 6. Loss of jobs If some companies shut down due to violence, they will have to sack their employees. 7. Emergency of militia groups When there is no government, or the government is not stable, there is a possibility of individuals who are hungry for power or those who want to protect their territory/people emerging. These groups are a threat to society and people suffer in their hands. 8. Famine/hunger During violence, people flee for their lives. There is usually no one to farm so even after the violence is over, sometimes there is lack of food. In addition, during violence there is scarcity of food and water. People die due to hunger. How to prevent violence 1. Talk to your family members, especially the male. If you know they are likely to engage in violence, plead with them not to. 2. After voting go back home. That will minimise chances of you meeting or arguing with someone else about a particular candidate. 3. Don't drink so that you remain sober. You will make better judgement and decisions when sober. Feel free to add yours. Pics source: http://headoffish.com/h/the-politics-of-violence-and-intimidation-graphic-photos/ 13 Likes 6 Shares

I dedicate this plot of land to my ex who left me out of greediness (Ojukokoro) Now that God has turned my life around, she's now running from Pastors to Alfa; churches to mosques; herbalists to Guru Maraji, stalking me both online and offline to please accept her back and tie the knot My advice to young ladies with gold digging habit is that, never look down on any man because of his current financial status or else, you will bite your fingers in regret at the end of the day Pls help me with some likes and shares and watch God take you to a higher ground 205 Likes 63 Shares |

[b]LadyX nice one from you...just what was going through ny mind... However I will like to put in writing/typing/piece a comical scenario of election violence if we refuse to adhere strictly to what you wrote... I was eating beans outside, thinking it was one of the best I ever had when the first explosion was heard, i ran out to find out what was going on and to my horror, I saw the sky split open and and a lot of strange aircrafts came through the opening portal formed through the sky and then they dispersed in all directions, shooting laser beams at people and building alike disintegrating them on contact, thugs like soldiers picked up some people and tossed them as if they are paper weighted, they shot at streets, house, and dropped nuclear Weapon that drilled into the earth, the roads where cracked, smoke rose high and black to the sky. People where scattered everywhere, some were running, I even saw a man with clothes spread in front of him he said "Nwanne business must go on my brother" (hmm my igbo brothers) There was a lady being dragged off by one of the Commando like thugs and to my amazement, she was screaming "pleeeease I will go just let me confirm if my boyfriend sent the money he promised today" chai (women ehn!) On a radio bartered by old age and only known because of it's antenna was emitting music, suddenly somewhere a man was speaking from the radio "my fellow Nigerians do not be afraid I am certain that the opposition party is behind this and be rest assure that we will set up committee for this" I turn around and noticed another general on tv somewhere was a man wearing horn-rimmed glasses was saying "pelo nijerian no matter whaz haffens ztoday make sure you zu all votez for change when the time comes por we can't Be intimidated" it was chaos. Behind me all of a sudden came a loud BOOOM!!! I turned around and to my horror saw that where my house should have been, was a pile of rubbles and my first thought was : "OH NO, MY POT OF BEANS!" Then I woke realizing that it's only but a dream...but this could be real if we FIGHT instead VOTE... Thanks ladyX[/b] 28 Likes 2 Shares |

We shall not experience post election violence anymore. God will take control. Winners will rejoice while losers will accept results in good faith. And if aggrieved, the court of law is the best place to approach for redress and NOT violence. It's well with Nigeria. Sai Buhari 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Violence can't help us. The politicians will fly out when it starts. We are the ones at the receiving end. |

Say baba Sai buhari Buhari is the man of change ! He is the one Nigeria need right now, he is Nigeria saviour, don't forget about the chibok girls, don't forget about the bomb blast happening, despite that, all he does is to smile and wave. That doesn't makes sense to me. Let us change the Nigeria. Vote change and Nigeria will never remain the same again 1 Like 1 Share |
