How Three Onions Per Vote Won The Kogi State Federal Constituency Bye Election. by VivaDeAngelo(m): 11:28am On Aug 12, 2018
They Shared THREE ONIONS each for votes in the Federal Constituency bye election in Kogi State. This is how lowly Politicians view Nigerians. What an insult!

Why do they even allow them to share things in polling units? Is it legal?

Blame the politicians for improvising us so much that we have no choice but to sell our votes for a plate of food.

I served in Kogi State six years ago, it was a sad experience for me because they affirmed the theories of Inequalities I learned over the years studying Economics. I watched my students chew Garri in the morning, soak it in the afternoon and living below $1per day ceased to be a myth to me.
And from what I heard, Captain Ichalla Wadda is a thousand times better than the current governor.

Stop consoling yourself. Check Cross River Hos election conducted by state electoral commission and understand that Nigerian are becoming wiser daily. For APC to poll more than 25% there should tell PDP their current strategy is flawed
Or maybe APC share pepper.

I haven't heard PDP saying anything they will do differently all you hear is Buhari this Buhari that. For 16years Nigerian were patient with you but you destroy everything

Now those destroyer who moved to APC and was glaring they were the cog in wheel of progress are returning to you. You welcomed them with funfair and made them parry leader.

Then you allow drug addicts like ffk to insult Fulanis and Muslim. Meanwhile all your presidential candidate are mostly Fulanis and Muslim. Tell me the wisdom in what you are doing.

Tell me what you bring to the table than just social media ranting and useless likes you celebrate up and down. No direction, no plan , ready to dine with just anyone in desperation to return to power. Lazy set of people

Wrong !The masses are to be blame . How can you sell your vote for just 3 bulbs of onions ? Would those three bulbs solve today's problem ? What about tomorrow's. ..and the day after , would those 3bulbs or whatever that was offered find lasting solutions to your permanent problems ? No!!!

My brother is it the same man that is chewing garri to survive that you want to come and start preaching to him not to sell his vote for a plate of onion stew? We have retrogressed as a nation and the politicians want to keep us that way.

You have to survive today before you can think of tomorrow.

It is only a fool that thinks of today but neglects tomorrow . Nigerians are being foolish by thinking only of today ; what food they will eat today; or how much they will make today. But what about tomorrow , and the day after ...what about the unborn ? Our children will curse us if we keep thinking about today only ...

Idris Wada was the then Governor when I served in Kogi State. The current governor has impoverished the state. He is owing 15 months salary.
That explains the reason why he is the number one minion of PMB........... Very disappointing from a young governor who should have been a bastion of effective leadership and a good example why the youth should be given more opportunity.

This is so sad but statements like this leaves us with no hope. Why can decide to starve today that we may have plenty to eat tomorrow.

The Kogites voted Yahaya Bello. So whose fault is it? Experience should have taught them that this man (and his party ) do not have the interest of the masses at heart . Rather , they are only interested in laying burdens on the already overburdened masses of Kogi

Thats why they would make pvc available to these Impoverished people than to the more educated in the south. I am in Anambra, and have been queuing for days to get pic while I heard others up north got theirs in a jiffy. The poor people can easily be coerced to sell their votes at the sight of food...

It's going to be a vicious cycle. And our worst nightmares might still continue. The bad politicians and Buhari will still return. Poor and ill exposed people will always be pawns in the hands of the politicians

I had the same experience too in Abia. Many people went back to their offices to continue their days job because only two INEC Ad-hoc Staff were designated to register voters. The sight of crowd will easily make you change your mind about voting.

If you don't collect the onion, they will still win.
