Hellvictorinho. This thread might interest you.

budaatum:

Martian please! This sort of generalisation gets my goat up especially when based on a thoughtless assumption. What you ask above is like saying I would go and vote under Abacha or Gowon when there was no public post to be occupied. Does anyone give you the opportunity to vote "if there is no public post to be occupied"?

Basically, you are insulting buda by claiming buda has no brain!


The above makes even less sense. Who "enhanced the creation of Nigeria" with the probabilities you mention above? Is your vote not meant to "enhance", or at least, mold Nigeria as you wish? Do you really see yourself with your one vote as so powerless you might as well not use it?


Indeed it does! Ordinary local government chairman I'm still failing to run, but the local government library that I do run is a start. As is said, a journey of a thousand miles starts with me voting, or something along those lines.


No one is telling you not to state other facts or to vote even. Just that whenever I hear you moan and wail about Nigeria from now on hell, I'll see you as a "don't even vote moaning wailer".

Level up would be encouraging others to vote. Level up further will be encouraging others to vote for you instead of the useless incompetent corrupt people they will vote for without you if you'd be any better, that is. Foundation though is ensuring people understand that their vote is an expression of their will. Don't use it, no will, and you get to suck on everyone else's will. Yuk!

HellVictorinho:

The fact is that everyone cannot contest elections in a nation that was formed after whatever amalgamation or/and everyone cannot vote for people that were imposed on them by political parties that were formed after whatever drama.
But I will vote for you if you can convince me by signing something into law that will make it a must for you to step down if you don't do what you were voted to do.

budaatum:

No, not everyone can contest elections. It is the the cream that rises to the top. Or sour cream in our instance perhaps.

When you become the cream and assume power you may decide to make changes that make "signing something into law that will make it a must for you to step down if you don't do what you were voted to do" becomes the law. For now, it's a democracy. You give a four year term on campaign promises and if you're not content with performance you decline to give an option for four more years.

HellVictorinho:

Are you saying that's (signing XYZ ) not democracy?

Aconomist:
We have all seen what a disaster Geoduck Johnathan (the first president from the SS/SE) was. And most of the governors and politicians from the region are hardly better. While the North is a big problem, we must also admit that the SS/SE is not producing politicians qualified to rule the country.

Am I wrong or right? Discuss.

budaatum:

No. I'm not "saying that's (signing XYZ) not democracy".

I'm saying you have not participated in democracy enough to make (signing XYZ) the law.

In fact, if you start a thread on it I will work with you to work out how (signing XYZ) might work and if it can work, join you in devising a plan to implement it, though be aware it will take some decades to implement from where I assume we'd be starting from.
