I didn't know what exactly to name this thread.

So, the Anambra state elections is coming up and despite the "No Election" mantra of a lot of pro Biafra people, the politicians are leaving no stoned unturned in making sure that they are counted among the actors to become the governors of the state with the 4th largest economy in the country.

Apart from the regular actors, there are new faces in this year's race and these race who are not career politicians. Some days ago, Nollywood Actor and son of Pete Edochie, Yul made his intention known to run for the highest office in Anambra. he even released a campaign video just to show how serious he is. A few days later another entertainer, this time a musician, Kelechi okonkwo aka Kcee has also registered his intention to run as well.

Now, apart from the fact that these two young chaps and some career politicians have nothing tangible to offer the state. I find it kinda strange that someone who ha lived in Lagos or anywhere else outside Anambra state can just wake up one morning and want to rule a state where they have contributed very little or nothing to where it is today. These people neither pay tax or have a business that employs people in the state an this makes me worried about how Nigeria as a country is being run.

People who pay taxes in a state should be the ones running for public offices in a particular state whether or not they're indigenous to the place or not.

Valid points. I just hope they won't be taken serious.

Lol everyone free to run but not be taken seriously.

They shouldn't even be legally allowed to run.

Wrong the requirements should be democratic. If you meet x requirementa you get to run. USA has almost no requirement besides age and residency and citizenship and we produce for better leaders than you guy can dream. The issue with Nigerians is they don't want to critically examine their candidates even on base level.

Simple questions like what is Economic policy, Education policy, Tax plan and security plan aren't considered. It's all about tribe and religion.

Ps: look at UK election and see how silly it got. Yet their society didn't collapse over joke candidates. Lord buckethead and Elmo ran.

It is the electorate that will judge!!..the most important thing is that is if he has the interest of people at heart...somee people pay tax and were born and bred in a state but will still loot shamelessly..
