ambrosini593: What are the lessons we nigerians and nigeria government especially INEC can learn from today's election

Nigerians should learn to be more vocal. One can point out the errs of our government from now until hell freezes. Even after hell has frozen, we'll still be listing. As for Nigerians, however, we have our own duties to fulfill. As Nigerians are technically under a democracy, it is every Nigerian's duty to be vocal, not only to our officials, but other Nigerians as well. That's the reason I started my "What are you doing to improve Nigeria?" thread. We cannot expect everything to come from government. Pretty boi said something in another thread in pertinence to New York/New Jersey and their ability to rebuild and it was so intelligent.

pretty_boi: We keep wondering & keep admiring how these people are so efficient in performing their duties & how organized their country/countries are,well it isn't magic. Nigeria can even be better but it starts with you & me doing every one of our jobs passionately & putting country first. If you're a policeman,a cleaner,a dog breeder,a politician,an architect,a driver,a fireman,a scientist,a maid,a doctor a nurse,a soldier,a musician or anything you are,do your work passionately & strive to stand out & it would go round & everyone would be happy at Nigeria's efficiency rate & development. But for now what do we have? A doctor who doesn't do his/her job passionately expecting a president who would be passionate & turn the country around, a driver who doesn't obey traffic laws hoping to get the best health services from that doctor when he himself doesn't do his own work well,a footballer who doesn't put in his best to play for his country would still expect a fireman to do his job selflessly & douse the fire that's burning his home,A Pastor/Imam who preaches that people of a faith different from his are "unbelievers" & "infidels" & that "faithful people" should not associate with such people would still be expecting a peaceful country. Nigeria is all we (it's people) have made it so if Nigeria is a failure,it's because that's what we have chosen to be & if we desire to see a better Nigeria the key/power's also in our hands.

I, personally, believe that it starts with information. As much as I disagree with the Tea Party, they are an excellent model to follow. They were a tiny, unknown, organization prior to 2008. With the spread of their information came bigger crowds. With bigger crowds came the media. Constant media coverage allowed them to get their message heard by millions of Americans. I know it happened in America, but it's possible in Nigeria too. The fuel subsidy protests were heard around the world when they were loudest.

A changed Nigeria or any other place will not happen overnight. We need the passion to see a better place, and we need the faith and perseverance to continue on that path to a better place, even when it's riddled with obstacles. Once our attitudes are changed, we can go far.

Anxiety is killing me in the west coast lol. I have my ballot filled. I could have mailed it but I like turning it in by hand, so that I can get an "I Voted" sticker lmao.

The odds are in President Obama's favor, so I feel confident, but then I remember 2000 and 2004. Particularly 2004 lol.
