It has been the norm of politicians to use different strategies to buying people's votes because they know and capitalize on the fact the the people of Nigeria are hungry and desperate. Hence you see most electorates selling off their votes for peanuts and mortgaging their future happiness just like the biblical story of Jacob and Esau. I am here to tell the Nigerian electorates not to be like the Esau in the Bible that sold his birthright for a plate of porridge yam. In other words, the electorates should not sell their votes which is their conscience and thereby mortgaging their future happiness over a plate of rice or money that will finish almost immediately. That is a BAD NEGOTIATION! ...you can only negotiate wisely by not selling your votes...The Osun and Ekiti election were very good example of such act. The electorates should not allow the politicians or anyone to intimidate them during this coming election. The electorates are the KINGS in Democracy...the power to choose who to lead and not lead them, lies in their hands..Protect your votes! Don't sell it. To those saying no voting in their region are shooting themselves on their foot because if they don't vote, they don't have any right to complain or agitate for anything. Go out and vote! Protect your votes and conscience.
