@Kobojunkie,

'Since Nigerians in Diaspora can vote, then we should be allowed to contest from here. We don't need to be in the country to know what our country's people need.'

I know you're in support of the above statement.

But what is the point of voting for change in Nigeria when you don't know what is there to be changed?

eldee:

Forgive me for being old-fashioned but I believe only people that go through the exact situation, as in, living in a country and suffering the exact problems associated with life in Nigeria should have the right to decide who they choose as the leaders.

For goodness sake, that's why diasporans(even those without dual citizenship) are allowed to vote in the countries they live in.
Those that have families back home?? Nah, they don't feel it as some living there would!!!
This is the same way some an NIN knows nothing about the ethnic glass ceiling African-Americans talk about.

And those with businesses?? C'mon!!!
Aight then, Richard Branson should be allowed to vote for AD cause his Virgin business has been affected by PDP decisions.

IMO, only people that have been resident in Nigeria within the last two years should be allowed to decide who leads the country. And this is really easy considering the fact the there's a Voter's Register.

Thank you, Eldee. . That is exactly what i've been saying all day.
Politics / Re: Court Orders INEC To Allow Nigerians Abroad To Vote by Shaz(f): 6:10pm On Jan 28, 2009
@Kobojunkie,

I'm really not a person of much words but I'll give this another go.

Kobojunkie:

Fair Enough!!! Just so you know, this would probably mean that a lot of Nigerians living in Nigeria may be denied right to vote simply because they do not meet this requirements put in place by this verification process of yours. Are you sure that is the sane thing to do?

Why wouldn't they meet the requirement of the verification system when the only requirement is for them to reside in the country??

Kobojunkie:

You seem to have missed the part where I stressed that your opinion, you are sort of telling us that the way Nigeria is right now is the way it ought to be. Is this the case? You ask how I get this? Well, if Nigerians in Nigeria are, according to you, the ones experiencing the life in Nigeria, then we should accept that past and current leaders were duely elected by the people of Nigeria, who according to you, know more of the country than anyone else does and so it is, dare I say, perfect as is.

I'm only stating that in order to make the best decisions, Nigerians abroad should go to Nigeria to have a real feel of the situation et al before voting. If Nigerians abroad really want to make a difference in government, they should also be ready to make some sacrifice.

I'm not against Nigerians abroad by the way, I'm also one. I'm also trying to be reasonable.

And my statement about understanding and experience, yeah, I know what message I'm trying to convey. For instance, you lost some money and I lost the same amount of money. I can understand what it is to lose that amount of money but there's no way I can know the exact way you feel because it is under different conditions.

Just as Nigerians experience the effect of fuel price hike, those abroad may understand (especially those sending money back home) but those that reside in Nigeria bear the brunt!

Kobojunkie:

Would you apply this same reasoning if it were not Nigerians in diaspora that were being considered here? Last I checked, your voting right comes with citizenship. So, say you are a citizen of the USA and you have never really lived there, you can still go back and vote. What you are saying is that an 18 year old visiting Nigeria for the first time and happens to find himself right in the middle of election season should be denied right to vote, is this the case?

Just 'cause it is done in US doesn't make it right. Say I go to Nigeria next month and meet them voting and I'm not allowed to vote, I wouldn't mind because I've not been a part of the whole system.

Again, it's just my view.

Politics / Re: Court Orders INEC To Allow Nigerians Abroad To Vote by Shaz(f): 5:24pm On Jan 28, 2009
Like I said, it's my opinion.

And yes, the verification process should be for every Nigerian. . whether abroad or in the country.


Kobojunkie:

Do you suppose Nigerians living in Nigeria are more fully aware of what is happening in the country then? I mean if this is your argument then we should accept that the current situation is as a result of the choices made by these people who are more aware than those outside and it is the best we can get, and maybe we deserve. grin

Are the Nigerians in Nigeria the only ones who wear this shoe of yours? You mean those who live abroad but still have families and businesses back do not wear those shoes? They don’t have an understanding of what is going on down there?

Yes, I do think that Nigerians living in Nigeria are the ones experiencing the life in Nigeria - we might claim that since Nigerians abroad are still Nigerians, then we should be allowed the same privileges of voting but how do the changes in Nigeria affect your day-to-day life?

You probably have an understanding but trust, an understanding is far different from an experience.

That's why I said if the Nigerians abroad are allowed to vote, they should have spent a certain amount of time in the country before being awarded the privilege of voting.

Simple.
