Ugba1:
I really hope this work. Am trying to make sure i register so i can vote. But you need to see want some parties are already doing. In my area (some where in ikorodu) one of the party is buying the registeration card off some ignorant people at 200 naira. THE RIGGING HAS STARTED ALREADY.

how about educating those "ignorant" people and make them understand that they are mortgaging the next four years for only 200 naira while the president, governor and legislators should do more than that amount of democracy dividends to them in the next four years if they hold on to their cards and vote on election days.
Together, we can make 9ja better.

One Man, One Vote!!!

violent:
I am a Nigerian and my one vote entitles me to good governance without bias, one who is able to manage and allocate the country's resources efficiently enough to create opportunities for Nigerians everywhere and reassure and deliver a safe environment where the young and old are unafraid.

So far, Goodluck is just not the man to fulfill my dreams {no homo intended}

your one vote from the UK or where?
And so much about entitlement without clout
Your president and legislooters owe you and your likes, who can't/won't vote NOTHING - Sorry no entitlements please. You need to earn your life and the goodies you expect. that's how it's done in the UK, right?

Pharoh:
I have always said it that peoples hatred for Goodluck and PDP has beclouded their objectivity and it is a very worrisome trend in our nation.

and these posters are too "smart, cool, comfortable" etc to queue up, register and vote so why should GEJ, PDP or any other SERIOUS politician bother about their opinion or hatred

violent:
should we not be worried that our President is making appointments to suit his own selfish Political agenda at the expense of tax payers?

How long till Goodluck makes a bad luck of the national treasury from his ill informed spending habits?

And who are you ("we", if I may ask?
How many votes can you deliver to make Goodluck president of Nigeria come April 2011? Are you even registered to vote?
The man is doing what he needs to do to please those who will "mobilise" your househelps and other workers to vote for him on your BEHALF. Then he can determine how much you pay as taxes or he collects from corporate organisations in your name and how to spend it with his legislooter collaborators etc.
Shine your eyes. register to vote and become relevant as a voting bloc

^^^
they need not lay down any ideology as they know that those of us who can consider such ideology have left it to our cleaners, drivers, messengers, shopkeepers, househelps to register and vote on our behalf. And these people can be easily "mobilised" by the godfathers the 9ja way.
When those of us that are educated that a few hours of lining up to register is worthwhile then politicians will start taking us into consideration.
Until then they will make us pay as much tax as they need in addition to federal corporate taxes received in our names in order to pay themselves ridiculous emoluments at our expense.

“Don’t think it (corruption) is Nigeria ’s problem. I think corruption is important but I really don’t think it is the only thing or may be not the decisive thing,” he said.
Ruhl was responding to a question at the Forum of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Thursday, in Abuja , on whether Nigeria was being hindered by corruption compared with developing countries such as Brazil, China, Korea and Malaysia .
“The question is: Are we going to keep talking about who gets which job? Or are we going to say how we are going to move this country forward?
“If we do the latter, the country is going to move forward because the potential of Nigeria is more in terms of resources, both human and natural,” he said.

I would like to posit that our main problem is that those of us whose parents spent so much money sending to school to be educated and get a good job become so big that we leave it to our househelps, meiguards, messengers, drivers, stewards, cooks, gardeners etc to register and vote in our political leaders who in turn determine how much tax we pay and what to do with our tax, including paying themselves ridiculous emoluments for doing absolutely nothing except kowtow their godfathers. Ask yourself do you earn your living by doing absolutely nothing? So why should let legislooters and executhiefs do so with your hard earned taxes
We do not matter to our leaders. And if you think because you pay no tax, remember that your state and local government collects money from Abuja on your behalf as part of its population. Moreover the federal government collects taxes from companies on our behalf. If there is absolutely noone in Nigeria the government cannot have any sovereignty to collect corporate tax.
So let's get off our butts and stand in the queue to register so our leaders will start serving our interests.

This is not dissimilar to Obama reaching out to Hillary Clinton after she lost the Democrat primaries to him. She is now the administration's Minister of Foreign Affairs. That is how politics/democracy is played. You seek to accommodate others as much as possible to strenghten your POSSIBILITIES of winning.
It will be ALMOST impossible for GEJ not to win this elections through PDP. Ribadu's AC(+N) is proving to be a collection of civilian gerontocratic dictators fielding their wives, in-laws, cousins etc by selection. Buhari is anti-democratic military dictator, religious bigot bent on pursuing Fulani & Sharia agenda in secular Nigeria. So what real opposition at the presidential level does that leave us?
Serious Nigerians should rather focus on their governors, state and federal legislators and not leave their househelps, drivers, meiguards, messengers etc to choose who will be oga's political representatives. In effect your domestic employee will be deciding who will determine how much tax you pay, for example and what to with your tax for the next four years- what a miserable choice for our acting big men who do passive analysis rather than active participation in the electoral process.
I encourage you to:

Thanks MAYOWAAK for your response (# 57) to my post (# 55).
Indeed I had not noticed the part you quoted from the interview. Nevertheless you could have been more civil in pointing out my error.
Cheers!

Bakare and other activists like him should be apolitical for now and focus their energies on getting people to register massively so they can vote. They should educate the people on the need to scrutinise their candidates for local, state and federal legislators so we can reinforce our democracy from the bottom up. The renegotiating of our togetherness as a nation can only materialise when we have legislators who really represnet the wishes of the peopl.
