OPINION: Why Only Educated And Sane Mind Should Be Allowed To Vote In Nigeria. by Slime7: 10:01pm On Mar 27, 2023
In any democracy, voting is the most fundamental and powerful right of a citizen. It is the only way citizens can have their voices heard and express their opinions on important matters concerning their nation. Voting is a right that comes with the responsibility of making informed and rational decisions. In Nigeria, it is crucial that only educated and sane minds are allowed to vote for a better future. In this article, I will present the reasons why only educated and sane minds should be allowed to vote in Nigeria.

Firstly, educated and sane individuals are more likely to make informed decisions when voting. They have the necessary knowledge and understanding of important issues that concern their country. Education equips people with the skills needed to understand the complexities of governance, which is essential in making wise choices. Also, sane individuals are capable of processing information in a logical and rational manner, ensuring that their decisions are not based on emotions or irrational beliefs.

Secondly, only allowing educated and sane individuals to vote can lead to a more accountable government. When individuals who are well-informed and sane vote, they are more likely to hold elected officials accountable for their actions. This means that government officials will be more responsible and responsive to the needs of the people. Educated and sane voters can demand more transparency and accountability, which can lead to a more effective government.

Thirdly, allowing only educated and sane individuals to vote will lead to a better democratic process. It ensures that the right people are making decisions that affect the entire country. Educated and sane individuals have the ability to understand complex issues, which can lead to better solutions and outcomes. It also ensures that the voting process is not influenced by uneducated and irrational individuals, who may be swayed by propaganda or other irrational beliefs.

Lastly, allowing only educated and sane individuals to vote can lead to a more prosperous and stable Nigeria. A country that is governed by leaders who are elected by the right people can experience economic growth and stability. Educated and sane individuals are more likely to demand policies that can improve the economy and the lives of the people. They are also more likely to make informed decisions that can help the country avoid the pitfalls of bad governance.
In conclusion, allowing only educated and sane individuals to vote in Nigeria is the right thing to do. It can lead to better decision-making, more accountable government, a better democratic process, and a more prosperous and stable Nigeria. Educated and sane individuals are the right people to make informed decisions that can help Nigeria reach its full potential. Therefore, Nigeria must take the necessary steps to ensure that only educated and sane minds are allowed to vote.

Education does not equal moral or character.
Good values do.

If you were educated, you would have realized that rule of law is what makes a nation great and when it is circumvented as was obtained in the last elections, only sound educated minds would protest against such deplorable acts. Ignorant, rudderless and belligerent folks would applaud malfeasance because of allegiance to mundane affiliations.
