A Truck Driver Beats New Jersey Senate President After Spending $153 On Campaign

This is an extraordinary story of how a truck driver that knew nothing about politicking set out to defeat a seating senate president in New Jersey with a paltry $153 campaign fund! This a lesson that money does not win election but vision does.

Moral of the story.
To beat APC or PDP, you must be a truck driver.

Not in Nigeria !


His constituency will disown him first reason is he doesn't have money to share.

Iliveforever:
Surely not Nigerian politics..
In this part of the world, a senator will start from the very first day he/she resumes office to save money for the next election in 4years time.

Nigeria is just pitiable

We will get there but not anytime soon.

IPIGSRSHALLOW:
wrong assertion.

Money does win election, especially in the US. This guy is one out of a million.
In the US, money goes a long way. In fact they will tell you that your ability to raise money means acceptance hence a vindication that you deserve re-election. This is why a vast majority of those in Congress have been there for decades simply because they are able to raise more money than their challengers.
Money factor is also why so many have been crying out loud for Campaign finance reforms for decades as far I can remember but those in the seat of power are not bulging because they have the upper hand already to raise more money than their challengers.

Pls stop taking one of a kind story and trying to make it sounds like money is not important in US. It's very very important.
You are just confusing the youths on this forum who already have a false sense of what the US is really all about.

EXLOVER:
But in Nigéria because of poverty, Maduka will build schools, hospitals, churches, buy transformers


Sanwo Olu will spend millions just to go to UK every morning to dorbale for Tinubu and make breakfast for him


Okowa will travel to London prison 2 times a week just to serve Ibori starch and Owo soup or banga soup.

Nothing like the people's choice in Nigéria election.

Yes it can. Election is a game of number. We don't need excess money from Godfathers to win an election. I cannot imagine why we will allow our country to be managed by illiterates and nincompoop in the days of digital world. Banning of twitter is a prime example of how they want to hold us back.

If the youth can start an a telegram group and select who should hold office, we will not only outnumber old men like the Liar Mohammed, we will retire them to where they belong. We need a mobilizer!

@Lalasticlala
I wish you could take this to front page so the youths can discuss this. Nigeria needs a breakout of good leadership!

APCNig:
The same way the evil wealthy and looting political class of Nigeria will be humiliated by the poor masses in a very short time from now.

In your dreams, Nigeria will never experience such.

I heard America is going through something called the great resignation.
There is job vacancy everywhere in America now, suffer don tire Americans
