Why My Friends And I Will Not Vote. by tsephanyah(f): 10:52am On Dec 18, 2018 |
People give some of the most negative ratings of either party that we've seen in the last 4 years, I pay attention to politics on the news. It is an ever-present topic of conversation. It is a cultural event of sorts, They say things just to win the election. APC, they say they're going to fix the country; and PDP they follow almost the same, but they go the other way around So I'm not voting. What of you? The message, in other words, isn’t about the candidates, their platforms, or the way they’re covered in the media. It’s a deep disillusionment that’s been growing for decades with an electoral democracy that becomes less democratic all the time, a sclerotic and highly institutionalized two-party system that suppresses radical voices,. political and economic elite that’s expert at deflecting and neutralizing opposition to its leadership but conveniently tone-deaf when it comes to understanding and addressing in honest and effective ways the issues that opposition raises. Millions of people, at least tacitly, have concluded that the system doesn’t need change from within, it needs to be changed. The burden is on the people who hold the reins of government and party-political power to prove to us why we should bother voting, not on us to explain why we don’t. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Like you have rightly said; ''the system doesn’t need change from within, it needs to be changed''.. Who constitutes that authority to initiate that change- it's YOU THE PEOPLE(ELECTORATES).. So why shouldn't you vote with all the political consciousness you so possess 2 Likes |

tsephanyah:@tsephanyah There are alternative parties you can try that are capable of moving Nigeria into progress. National television stations are controlled by mainly the government so you'd never hear of alternative parties. I rarely watch local channels because their news is usually not from objective perspectives.The government deliberately interferes with what's been dished out. You can do your research about them It is your civic right to vote, unless you just wish to rest on that day then we all would keep complaining forever |
