In this modern society of ours, I still wonder why people are so passionate about the party they are affiliated with and would rather vote for an unqualified candidate in that party rather than vote for a more qualified candidate brought by another party.

In this Era of rapid development and innovation, we ought to be looking for people who are sound intellectually and psychologically to help put our country at the forefront of development but rather than doing that, we take sides with parties that are producing unqualified candidates and fight amongst ourselves when we should all put heads together so as to move this country forward! Why do we have to turn a blind eye on the candidate being presented by a party just because money is been offered by that party?

And the second question that should be on everyone's mind is what is the criteria currently used in determining a qualified candidate for a political post, shouldn't there be rigorous debates of different stages that strips a candidate of title and aims at the persons intellectual capacity? Why do we still have to vote a candidate based on mere promises? Promises that will likely be denied or nulled once office is assumed. Isn't it about time we use our heads rather let our heads be used?

Nairalanders over to you!
