[b][/b]The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.

aj_five: Exactly my reason for not voting , I go just jeje sit down for my house Besides voting is the least way of fulfilling your obligations as a citizen or exercising your rights nigerians are fund of thinking that once they've voted they've done the country a big favor the truth is whether its GEJ or Buhari or even king david and king solomon joined together, Nigeria will still fail if we leave everything to FG, if you want to change nigeria? Then roll up your sleeves and get to work join a community or a pressure group and formulate policies for change and lobby the gov't into accepting and supporting it there's no limit to what one can achieve when they have an entire community behind them. I prefer serving my country this way than standing under sun to vote for a man just because he gave me bag of rice or because he wears a hat like my grand father in the village |

A thousand of Dundies on this thread!!! smh for you'all. @OP, I feel your pain jare... Vote Koh, Vote Ni. My building is a Polling Unit... I have always stood on my balcony and watch people queue up to vote in those criminals they call leaders. And I promised to repeat the same come 2015. Please, vote if you wish. But I hope you vote for the RIGHT Leader. Because if opposite, you get half of the ill-talks/curses showered on the Leader... Because you helped him in. And a Yoruba saying goes... "agbepo laja ki nse ole, bi eni ti o ran lowo kale" *Translation* "The one who stole the oil from the roof is not a theif, the one that helps to drop it successfully should be labeled THIEF" Which YOU could be termed as. |

A wise man once said "only fools do things repeatedly in the same way and expect a different result". Many have always had this notion "your vote doesn't count" and I often reply, the day it will count, will it come and invite you? We have complained about the mismanagement in government and yearn for change which constitutionally we are empowered to enforced by our vote, why shy away? Another ill have noticed amongst many voters is the thought pattern that voting entails just presidency & gubernatorial positions. What about HOR, Senate, HOA & the LG? These people also has a role to play in bringing the dividend of democracy to the electorates. As for me and my household, one step @ a time, cos my PVC is cooling in a safe location within my domain awaiting February 2015 where I will vote for credibility and not party, religion or region. God bless the electorates God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1 Like |

AjFive: What you have is insecurity about the govt and the whole election issue. This shouldn't be and is shouldn't discourage you from voting. We have a CSO that is supposed to take care of this and make sure it is done and if it is not being done the way you like or to ur satisfaction you use your vote whether you believe in the system or not. Keep trying until you see changes. You need something from God, you pray even when you're not sure it will be answered now or even when it will be answered. You don't give up instead, you intensify your prayer hoping things change and u don't stop until u see changes. |

They candidates we have contesting are not worth risking one's life for. Wish we had a candidate of unquestionable character, who we can vouch for, proven, tested and trusted beyond all reasonable doubt. Its so unfortunate we are only left with GEJ and GMB. The issue now is who to vote for, since we have given GEJ four years without seeing any significant thing he did, is it not safer we give GMB that same chance of four years too. If GEJ is elected come 2015 he already knows he is in his final lap and wont do much to impress since he aint coming back again. On the other hand if GMB wins, it would make he sit up since he knows that the power belongs to the people and he needed to impress because we could throw him out after his ist tenure just like GEJ. Lets do away with sentiments, tribalism and bigotry, we have tried it and it never worked, nobody benefitted from it. This is my humble opinion. God bless Nigeria 1 Like |

This is a foolish statement to make, absolutely. If you do not vote then do not complain of bad leadership because it would be foolish of you. Why would you even come here to tell us you will not vote?! Okay, what do you want us to do now, beg you!? Arrant nonsense! If you don't want to vote don't come here to discourage others with your foolish thoughts. As for me, I will vote and keep voting until the change (definitely not the kind of change some lousy group are preaching...you know them) I desire manifests. Because I do know that in order to get your desire perseverance is key. 1 Like |

AjFive:This is very true. In my area in Lagos it was more than pathetic. The Baale always brought his own candidates which were burqua wearing Muslim women and long-bearded Alfas, even though some of us had been waiting at the registration centre as early as 5 a.m. Some of the officials even took money to register people. Big old and young women/men fought each other. A terribly chaotic setting. Imagine doing all these to vote a bunch of animals who don't and won't give a f.u.ck about you after being voted. This is enough reason not to vote. No politician is worth losing your life over. |

temitemi1:Its pathetic when Nigerian youth talk like this. What change have we seen since the leadership of PDP began? Billions have been sunk into power generation yet its still same. We keep patching up our economy and the number of unemployed have never been this large. Unless u stand to benefit personally, then Goodluck has nothing to offer us. Let another party try even if its UNDP |
