Omoluabi16: Atiku is the opposition here. Core issues are hardly brought to the front burner..dome of these candidates whip up ethnic and tribal sentiments to win votes.
I'm actually voting for atiku, there are other credible candidates though. People like Kingsley moghalu, Omoyele sowore. But they have no structure, and national appeal.The complexity of our politics here right now make it IMPOSSIBLE for revolutionaries to win. .but we'll get there someday.
mtisTheQubit: yes you are..first you tell me we are mpenzis ..then degrade it to rafikis ..then ya kill rafikis to default mode..not fair i say
Call me whoever you want but I won't call you mpenzi . I know I was not fair, I was just kiding , you have to understand that we are still rafikis. But just RAFIKIS
Omoluabi16: lool. How can we even defend Nigeria? what's going on here is shameful. Nigeria is still the greatest country in Africa though..our predicament is self inflicted. Unless we decide to grow up, we will still be crawling. We have everything at our disposal, we just choose the wrong path. How do we even tell people that a cup of rice won't solve their problem?
Is there any hopeful candidate like Atiku for election?

I can't read that. Wait a second, omoluabi, you a female
jaycent: Lol well, that's the way some Politics play thier roll in Nigeria. They give people bag of rice with some cheap cheap money to sell their vote's. I think that's what buhari is doing. But unfortunately Nigerians are now wise.
The election is on 16 of this month.
Just eat your Jolof and rice with cheap money and vote for the right man. There is nothing leaders won't do while campaigning to win election. . .You see them kissing kids and smiling. They act so strange.
Buhari better think. I won't be convinced to vote that man just beacuse he brought me rice with low cost. I mean, attack even happened in his rally. That actually tells me he isn't the right man to vote. He is not doing what he is required to do in security issue but he comes and does something he is not obliged to do (having rice at low price).
This man and his buddies are working on things they aren't required to do because they couldn't work on the things they were required to.
XhosaNostra: Honestly, I don't know how to answer these questions. All I can say is, what's reported in the media about South Africa is a bit exaggerated. Don't believe everything you read. With that said, I think the one thing that will surprise most is, most South Africans are quite welcoming & friendly. We call every foreigner in the country, "My friend". You're 1st perceived as a friend until proven otherwise. Most of us aren't Pan-Africanists though. Being black doesn't automatically make us "brothers". We're very much into having our own identity, separate from the rest. Our history, being separated from the rest of Africa for most of our lives, shaped that mentality, I believe.
As for Zuma, personally, I never liked the man. What his fate will be, only time will tell. I'll leave the judgment & sentencing to the powers that be. I do hope he gets to spend time in jail though. That is my personal opinion.
The 'friend' thing that you have mentioned really surprised me. That's a good culture
You are right about the media. The media not only destroyed the image of South Africa but Africa as a whole. We all know Africa has problems but in media, the bad one exaggerates and swallows all the quality of a country.
Jacob Zuma doesn't seem a good leader. He has many issues. . . .
vaxx: Ghana power rested in its democratic governance.Most African countries seek for Ghanaian election observers during their elections.And the electoral commission of Ghana is probably the most powerful election body in Africa. i still believe much are works are still needed to make it at per with first class world. .
Ghana still face the same problem that all africans country face, unemployment, healthcare system , inequalities etc. i believe goverment should focus more on this though she has provem to be better than some of her peers in her region.
Ghana is being low key now. I don't remember the last time i saw Ghana on news. It is actually good beacuse majority of the news reported from Africa is about terrosist attacks and similar to that.
vaxx: That is the way politics is played in Nigeria. dashing out some cups of rice or physical cash to woo voters instead of manifestos and accountability.
Many pictures are being shared by people on the internet. (in relation to Nigeria election) and it looks like the candidates are pushing way much. Were they holding rice or something? I just didn't get why they did that? I am so lost
Speaking of rulers, I haven't heard any about your government. I think it's democratic. But as government, what do you think your ruler better acheive or improve in Ghana??
@XhosaNostra, I was thinking of asking you about South Africa. I have been sharing you Infos about Ethiopia but I want to know things about South Africa in return. . .
Mention things that you think foreigners find very surprising in South Africa. . .
And another one question I have, Ramaphosa has expressed his plans to imprison corruptive people and Jacob Zuma is assumed by many to be corruptive. . .You think Zuma will be imprisoned? What type of mab do you think Jacob Zuma is in your perspective and what has Zuma hasn't acheived being expected?
I saw Buhari last time on TV with the vice holding something that looks like a food or I don't know. Tell me how it is going and why I saw his party name on rice package
