To nigerians:
Pls Note:
Before you decide to "press ya hand" for a particular candidate or party,look around u and playback the last 4yrs. If what u see is a conspicuous improvement,then u have every reason to vote the incumbent. BUT if the previous government was a failure, "press ya hand" (with all ur might) AGAINST him/her.
Its crunch time Nigeria. We have to kick out the rabble rousers in govt, party THIEFtains, national/ local execuTHIEVES, WHOREnourables and SINators.
We must s
hun primordial sentiments,tribalism or religious bigotry. Poverty is ubiquitous. Nigeria needs reformers and not deformers. We need a govt that will cut through bureaucratic red tapes and give us good governance.
Please go out there today, vote and protect ur votes. I want a better Nigeria for my children. Do you???.. It all starts at the polling unit.
God bless Nigeria
