In the presidential elections, a few others and I were disenfranchised because of unit problems, I went to the polling unit by 7AM, I waited till 5PM but couldn't vote. INEC arrived by 2:30PM after choas that day, I went home tired and frustrated.

Today, I wasn't in my polling unit, I took risk and traveled from my state capital to my location today. The road was so dry, Military everywhere, no public transport, I almost urinated in my cloths at the sight of armed forces men... I waited and luckily saw a bus, I ran to enter, we took a bush track... We were all scared, it wasn't easy this morning...

I arrived my unit, my neighbor asked me if I'm voting PDP, I was shocked, this is someone we both agreed to vote YPP, because he's a better candidate, she had been bought over with money... She directed me on what to do and who to meet to get my 5k there.

I queued, voted and step aside. The police man was bribed, he gave party agents way to stand and look at the votes cast, if it's PDP, they take you to the backyard, write your name and account number, expect 5k while they give you 1k as initial thank you.

I wasn't too shocked, this was the system... I wanted the money so badly, I was even laughed at... Coupled with my suffering today, plus during the presidentials everyone collected except me... Today, I can't boast of a thousand naira but I stood by grounds for the sake of equity and good conscience.

PDP won the unit, with a wide margin.. I was vexed... I came back home, even posted on my WhatsApp, I'm being laughed at, and I began wondering when doing good turned to a thing of mockery now....

I pray God opens a way for me so I can keep closing my eyes when I see money like this, as a student, 6k is way too much in this economy... But we move. On God.

This is me feeling fulfilled knowing I can criticize this governmet for the next four years with good conscience.

PDP will win in Akwa Ibom State as usual, but it's trash. But I know they're people like me, God bless you.

Admin, front page please.

You can share your experience too...

Op
God bless you🙌🙌

You are still very naive about Nigeria politics, that’s why I always tell people to leave the scene if you can’t stand the heat.

Lol. I don't think you know politics as much as I do but let's allow it slide. I did what i did because of my conscience. Don't tell me about the system, I know it, I study it.

We stayed at home, because we felt no need going to vote because of rubbish like this.

You missed on both sides mehn

Whoever still think his/her votes counts in a jungle like nigeria needs to be flogged with matchet

Some things are norm in Nigeria political settings even though they are abnormal

Here at ibiono ..YPP sweeps all polling unit

My vote counted, but we didn't win because others bought votes. They're two different things, get it straight.

So how do we know you’re telling the truth?

Hmmm

Baba you lack experience.

One day, every Nigerian would look on our country with pride, after we have done alot to make it work. Kudos brother. You did good, you voted your conscience and that's all that's matters.

This country must get it right and it's citizens must prosper. If one says not to the other let it wither away. Amen.

With all the hatred and incitements coming from the people of south eastern Nigeria over elections in another man's land, I begin to see reasons why IPOB is the 10th TERRORIST organisation in the world...

Fear no who no fear Ibos

U did well… be proud of it

if votes didn't count politicians won't pay for it

anyone who thinks politicians who pays heavily for vote do so out of mere generosity/benevolence in a jungle like nigeria needs to be flogged with matchet

Abs u're proud of this and think it can stop

The next governor of akwa ibom state

Nigerians ought to apologize to General Sanni Abacha of blessed memory. 90 percent of our politicians are far more wicked than him.

In Nigeria engaging in Politics as good as it is also has its own wickedness. A current Governor, Current Senator, an honourable at house of assembly will embezzle state funds while he suffer the people under his jurisdiction with wicked hunger and poverty. And when election day has arrived, because he knew they will not vote for him, he will now wave new notes of N5000, N10,000 to each of them and tell them that it will be given to them if they will vote him at their polling unit. At the end his supporters will call the election free and fair. And the cycle continues.

Madame retired olosho that isn't naive🤣🤣🤣. Abeg what knowledge in politics do you know that the OP doesn't know?? The way you always claim you know naija politics ehn, someone might think you are a senator . Abeg face your runs work and stop claiming experience in politics

Good you voted your conscience.

You looked at the candidates and settled on a candidate whose party is not even popular or a social media sensation.
