Canada Election Vs Nigeria Election....where We Need To Amend by bilulu(m): 5:10am On Oct 22, 2019 |
After carefully following and observing Canadian electioneering campaign first hand I concluded that Nigeria has not started at all. I will take time to highlight some of the important issues.... 1. No holidays as everybody was going about their businesses. You cast your vote at ur own time between 8am to 10.30pm (time depending on your location). 2. Campaigns were issue base and one man coming to the podium to be shouting APC or PDP. 3. There was no record of inducing voters either with rice, salt or trader moni. There was no scene of bullion vans entering somebody’s compound. 4. There was no day set aside for voters registration were holiday might be declared depending on the state governor. You go online yourself and register yourself for the election. 5. I was at a polling unit, not a single security personnel armed to the teeth were there. No police nor military was deployed for a peaceful electioneering process. 5. All the result were transmitted and not transported. 6. No one man sat in Ontario (Abuja) to be announcing all the result state by state. 7. No one man or body can decide the fate of the voters. No one man can declare your vote inconclusive 8. You vote were you are. You don’t need to travel from Ontario ( Abuja) to Alberta (Osun) to be able to vote. 9. Nobody is going to court to challenge the whole process. They gave their speeches and went home. That’s how Canadians roll. Their votes counted. When will our votes count in Nigeria? When are we going to adopt issue base campaign? When are we going to do away with manual voting and adopt electronic voting? We can do it, we have come of age, we talk ourselves down by saying we haven’t grow to that level. The time for that change is now. Lalasticlala..... this need to make front page 3 Likes 1 Share |

You are comparing a country that has defeated hunger with another country where majority of its citizens don't have food and are willing to do anything to get the next meal. Canada has systems that work but Nigeria doesn't. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol. You think Nigerians don't know this? Is election the only place Nigeria is failing? You guys are funny. We must understand WHY Nigeria is the way it is before we proffer solutions. Nigeria is like this simply because we don't have a national culture or ideology. We are not one people. For a yoruba person, it's better that a crook like tinubu is on seat than a technocrat like Soludo It will be hard for you to bring Turkey and Germany into one country and expect that because they are white that they would move forward. Iffa hear. The Moslems in Turkey will be doing their things differently and the Christians in Germany will be doing another thing. Why do you think the EU has refused to bring Turkey in? Ideology. Go to nearby Ghana and observe their elections... forget about Canada. We have two options if we want to really progress. 1. Go back to a regional system where power is mainly in the regions and where the federal government only has powers on a few issues (defence, diplomacy, currency, customs). We can use the 6 geopolitical zones as the new regions and the 36 states as the new local governments. OR 2. Divide the damn country and allow ethnic groups to forge their own paths Any other thing apart from the two options above will still bring us back to where we are today 12 Likes 1 Share |

bilulu:You are again missing the point. We will not get our elections right. Until the elected criminals we have today take the bold step to change Nigeria's structure. How do you think that an Hausa man will not rig for a fellow Hausa when his opponent is a yoruba? Until we localise power, the centre will always be too lucrative not to kill and loot to control it 1 Like |

jacksonkennedy:You made some valid points. However, the bane of Nigeria is tribalism and religious sentiments. Rid the country of tribalism and watch it soar high. As long as ethnic champions like Buhari and Tinubu hold sway in Nigeria, forget about advancement... All the noise is nothing but blowing hot air...Nigeria is not ready to see the light. Given 70% of Nigerians an opportunity to escape this mad system and you will see a ghost country, if there is anything like that... |
