Educating The Electorate Not To Sell Their Votes and choose good aspirants by akinshow: 2:41pm On Mar 15, 2018
It is evident that politicians for the past four to five decades in Nigeria have not delivered good governance to Nigerians nor managed our resources to improve the well being and welfare of its citizens. It is common knowledge that these politicians in their estimation have perfected the cycle of deceiving the electorate by literally buying the votes of the people and foisting incompetent people on the citizens on the platform of their political parties. Strategies of manipulation also include exploitation of ethnic sentimentss and religious dispositions of the electorate to impose these visionless , corrupt and ethically immoral people of them. This current government set us back many years with the level of nepotism that we thought had died in our country and many lives have been lost in what could be considered the archaic and backward policies of cattle herdsmen that has resulted in many deaths.

Change of leadership could not be more compelling than in 2019. This is why the electorate have to be enlightened to no longer be deceived by N1000 or a piece of ankara to mortgage their quality of life and those of their children to hirelings and charlatans who wear political garbs with no understanding or desire to serve their people. Good governance is about is about service to the people. Valuing with integrity the trust that is reposed on leaders to judiciously and efficiently manage the nation's resources to the direct benefit of the people of Nigeria. It is not about ethnicity or religion or tribe. It is about being accountable, transparent, committed to meeting the goals that have been set to deliver for the electorate in a timely manner. Let us do all we can , using the social media and other media to disarm money politics in our country that undermines our ability to choose wisely those who will deliver on their campaign promises and stop the rot of incompetent leadership in Nigeria.

The time for change is 2019. Please, do not sit on the fence. Get involved. Join a movement to change Nigeria. I have joined the Red Card Movement. Let us take charge of our destiny and drive change that will deliver good governance and the benefits of a progressive nation for our country. Let us educate the electorate. The time to start is now.

Yes bro... this is needed... I wish this can be preached in the churches and mosques too....

And if you are the preaching type, in the bus, markets etc, always tell the people that collecting 1k for their votes is a sin, and they will never make heaven... they are like Esau, who sold his birthright for a plate of food, and became an abhorrent in God's sight

Please can't police arrest whoever comes to share money at polling booths
