How is Okene LG alone giving APC 138k votes while the rest dey get 2k, 1k votes.

Is that how populated Okene is?

Is it poverty or simply greediness that make people sell their vote? Why trade 4 years over few notes that only serves as a very low temporal relief?

Maybe I have trust issues but I don't believe someone willing to buy my votes and that of thousands of others have good intention for our state. In fact, it will be hypocritical of me to expect anything positive from him after he has paid me for my vote.

Very annoying fellow hope SDP wins to remove whatever nonsense gang Bello has in place.

swiz123:
If democracy must work in this doomed impoverished country, Bsc or a diploma should be the minimum requirement to cast a vote. I don't believe my vote should weigh the same with an ignorant man ekeing it out daily in his farm at ezzamgbo, Ebonyi state or a village in Taraba state.

In my village, people there including my grandmom voted for candidates supported by then LGA chairman who was a known thief because he brings trailer load of rice every December. This is a man who terrorised the village by selling their lands and robbing those whose diaspora sons brought home hard currencies. He made money, built up connection and became a grassroot political godfather and people supported him because of bags of rice. Full bag of rice between 1999 to 2011, half bag between 2011 to 2019 and now quarter bag.

Very soon, he will use derica of rice to maintain his "political structure".

With what I know about Rivers State, I can assure you this will not work except you're coming with that 3k to explain the dangers of not collecting 3k on election day.

People in rural areas here no send story. The only language they understand is money,

A tribalistic educated man can make better logical judgement than an impoverished uneducated tribalistic man.

At some point, an educated person will draw a line between trivial sentiments and competence. That's why you wouldn't expect alhaji Popi to support Seyi Makinde if he decides to contest for presidency.

Poverty and illiteracy is worse than you think. I am certain I will win you in your village if I give them money. Stomach infrastructure topples any religious or tribal sentiment.

Who wants to come out and risk his life for idiots.....
Hope a perpetual failure......

Achonu....who received a massive contract to build primary health centers in all the 774 Nigeria and embezzled most of the funds...

Or....Sam Daddy who everyone knows is a yes man to iwuanyanwu..
The politics in my state is rotten.

The guy who was bundled out from the collation center and beaten pointed out the obvious.
There was definitely no elections in Orsu...
That place is the epicentre of the biafra struggle......you dare not move with any political affiliated merchandise....poster...facecap or T-shirt.
Who would conduct elections in such a region, its plain suicide.
The figures there were forged.

While I understand your reasons for suggesting such but the impact of what decisions you educated people make also affect these uneducated people so why shouldn't they have a say in what affects their lives

No be only elites dey this country, let the uneducated breeavvvvee

Democracy is flawed but we haven't been able to come up with a viable alternative

“So, while we talk about regulation, I want us to be very careful there. I don’t want some dictator like this last one (immediate former President Muhammadu Buhari who banned Twitter) attempted to do; who woke up and said I’m banning Facebook (Twitter), Idiot!

According to Soyinka, Nigeria and Africa, in general, may have to totally reverse their educational systems to take in what he described as a new monster.

He stressed that the internet and social media are a valuable contribution to the entire human enterprise.

Soyinka said, “I see everything of value being debased; values which I grew up with as a child and that includes language, use of appropriate language.

“When I see a space being infested, a communication space infested by the people of lower intelligence, integrity, sense of concern of involvement, then existed in the print media; we should also remember that this internet, there is nothing novel all about it, it is an enhancement of something we have always been doing before.

“It is an enhancement of the print medium and there is a more critical approach to the print medium - the editor sits down, even letters to the editor particularly go through full vetting processes.

“But now you can have any kind of pig from the gutter who simply because he’s got a paw and therefore can put that paw in the dirt, in filth and then imprint it on the nearest space, that is the internet has become.

“Having known better from childhood, all the way through my development, it is an abysmal stage of one’s compelled existence to have to confront things like that.”

According to the literary icon, “something drastic has to be done about it”.

“The publishing enterprise has a huge role to play in this. Maybe we even have to organize weeklong, monthlong seminars across the African continent so that let this garbage come from elsewhere. Why should it be coming from my own society? A society that has produced engineers and doctors who are valued all over the world.”

Soyinka said it riles him to see “some garbage simply because they have access” foul up the society.

On what ground? It is within the registered voters range and also the accredited range if I'm not mistaken.

So, what ground will he lay his case on?
