How can free and fair election be conducted when nigerians won't stand their ground? We say we need change, we say we need good leadership, how can we get what we need if we allow the ones we are supposed to vote out buy our votes? I was at a polling unit in benin with my friend yesterday, i am not up to voting age yet so i just went to watch. My friends mum is a PDP member and she gave people there 5k each to vote for jonathan and i didn't see anybody who rejected it. We nigerians are the ones killing ourself. Those people who collected money to vote for a particular candidate should not complain when he starts misbehaving tomorrow because they have sold their right to complain. Please, stop selling ur votes.

I think you should correct the topic of this post. From your report, I can't see how the election was rigged or the peoples choice forcibly subverted.

If you say it was rigged, by whom then? The voters who accepted monetary enticement? Or the inducer, who gave money, though wrong to do, but didn't forcefully take away the right of choice from the voters.

Voters have in the course of this electioneering campaign and the ones before now, been educated on what power their vote carries, if they then decide to be induced monetarily, that cannot be called rigging. That's my submission

That is not rigging but rather inducement. Everybody has their own winning strategy and once is not against the law am ok with it.

By the time you get to voting age, and you are presented with such opportunity of financial inducement to sway your votes, i recommend you collect such money and vote your mind
