hush15: But earlier u said that "if people don't vote, they only empower those in power to keep strong hold". And I asked u: "How has voting in nigeria prevented those in power from keeping a stronghold?" U haven't been able to categorically state how voting in Nigeria has prevented those in power from keeping a stronghold. If d essence of voting is to change d status quo& it hasn't done that which u can't negate, why then wouldn't we see cases of voter apathy? In Edo state, d status quo wasn't changed. Obaseki was returned to office. Yes we can praise d single-minded ness of d people in opposing oshiomole, but power still remained with a familiar face. In d US, d institutions & awareness are stronger. We don't have such level of awareness (which u asked about) in this part of d world. Many Nigerians still don't no their rights and feel that govt is doing them a favor. I absolutely agree with u on d constitutional provision made for elections as d only means of changing a govt, yet d power of d people goes beyond elections. We have seen cases in democratic settings& even military where people power on d streets brought about regime change. South Korea, Brazil, Sudan are glaring examples. It was made possible by a singularity& genuineness of purpose on d part of d people. Should people vote? Absolutely yes. But when they choose not to vote, it is an indication that something is wrong. I don't no if u can remind me of when we witnessed this type of voter apathy in Nigeria since 1999. If it's happening now& it's genuine, then it means voters are beginning to question how they fit into d political process& it is a very good development for voters to question their actions. Voters can decide when to use their powers& when to withhold it from politicians when they deem fit |

If the turn out is less than 30% the election isn't supposed to be accepted. But I don't think that's included in Inec criteria for declaring winner |

lexy2014: You still don't get it, do you? So if people don't vote, the question you ask yourself is who does it favour? Yes, people are expressing anger thru apathy but who does it favour? No matter what the emotion is, it won't change anything. Those in power will continue to hold on to power. A revolution can be resisted. A protest as we have seen can be hijacked but voting can't be. The only reason why it look so in Nigeria is because, "you all don't vote ". Keep giving excuse that your vote will never count and believing so 2 Likes 2 Shares |

lexy2014: If nigeria were to be made up by only the South, it would have worked to an extent in presidential elections. But with vote apathy in the South, our Northern brothers will now settle with chosing who rules us and we can't do anything about it. If the youths don't join this two main parties, then nothing for us. Because the mushroom parties are just for beer drinking. |

hush15: What is d aim of voting? According to u: "if people don't vote, they only empower those in power to keep strong hold". D question now is: "How has voting in nigeria prevented those in power from keeping a stronghold?" According to u: "...voting can't be hijacked." I saw this statement & I laughed hard. Are u referring to Nigeria or US? |
