Not in Nigeria !


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

The state election was rigged on the gubernatorial level

Americans just want freedom back

Saying no to vaccine mandates, mask mandates etc

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!

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

Just as they ban twitter, they will also ban telegram, because they don't want the youth to be involved in socio political discussion.
Nice idea all the same

The exact opposite of what we just read on Frontpage
earlier today!!

Anambra’s State Election Preparation in progress. N400 and a can of malt.
Poverty at its peak.
Selling your conscience for a can of malt and 400 naira.

[quote author=Whois post=107074470][/quote]

As election is around the corner once again,
Naija Youths,
Wake Up and use your brain
.
If you collect money from any politician to campaign and vote for them, the suffering you are going through will be transferred to your unborn kids.

Any one here that is being paid to support or campaign for any evil and support any looting politician, or you collect money from any politician AT ALL to support and campaign for them, no matter how small it is.
Then your suffering and frustrations will be permanent in your miserable lives.

If you just want to start collecting money from any politician to vote for them and not voting for the people (good men and women) that will move your immediate environment and this nation forward, all these prayers will go to your head with immediate effect,
More, If you have collected any money in the past,
You shall never succeed in all you lay your hands on.

No be curse,
Na FACT!

Sane Naija youths, use your heads and vote for the man or woman that will better your lives and those of your children.
Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime whether the evil ones likes it or not.
Nigeria will succeed.

We Rise!

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.

Which youth? Did you not see the SUG Vice President who appointed 20 aides? Or the SUG Exco who did award for boyfriend? Even Departmental Excos will abuse their office to its maximum capacity.

The major problem is not age, we need to re-evaluate ourselves, both old and young.

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.


Who's the one kneeling down for Ibori? grin
