My people, I have been thinking as to why 95% of those who contest in an election is already in a public office. Just recently, I got to understand the huge amount needed to sponsor an electoral campaign, which means that, a credible candidate who genuinely lacks funds can never run for a public office. Now my question is: why are Nigerians especially the youths not taking advantage of various crowdfunding platforms available in Nigeria to raise funds to pursue their visions?

BigBrother Nigeria got 170 million votes which cost N30 each amounting to the value of N5.1 Billion during the last season finale. Indirectly, the voters funded the program. I believe we can do the same for politics through crowdfunding and get the right candidate into power.

Let me hear what you guys think [color=#990000][/color]
