This sort of riot is the very thing Nigerians are scared of yet this is the very thing that can save our nation

Not elections , not propaganda

But alas we are human and fear is one of our flaws.

So we resort to the Sager option of elections

Get your PVC

Do not sell your vote

If you sell your votefor 50k , that money won't last you for the coming 4 years of suffering and hunger

If any politician can pay you N 4.8 million for your vote then please by all.means do ell it, at least that comes to a salary of N100k per month for the next 4 years then maybe you just might survive the consequences of your actions

But trust me no politician will pay you that for your one vote
