RE: Curtailing water pollution in oil rich countries using rivers state as a case study
Are there parties in your country that might want to change this political system? Do they have a real chance in the upcoming elections? Do you, as ordinary citizens, have the opportunity to do "your thing" and become independent of the respective political disaster...? Sorry for all the questions... You are so far away and not really present in our press and media...
From the look of things, we run a one party system in Nigeria. My reason for this is that the same old rotten politicians in the ruling party, were once in the opposition. If the opposition takes power now, you will see all of them go to opposition. Same corrupt set of people ruling us since 1960 till now… the reason for the backwardness and many young ones selling off their investments and properties just to migrate to another country and start over.
The electoral committee promised a free and fair election and promised that election results will be transmitted electronically.
That statement alone brought out a lot of people to come out and vote especially for this rising 3rd force party that we feel have pedigree to deliver the country. Even me, all through my 30+ years I’ve intentionally refused to go n vote because it doesn’t count but with the electronic live transmission, I was compelled to come out. Nigerians came out in masses to flush out those two old cargo party to vote the fresh 3rd party (labor party).
Guess what? in the end, our vote didn’t count. The electoral umpire themselves went behind to manipulate the network. House of senate and representatives results were transmitting life from the machine but the most important one, which is the presidential vote, we all needed wasn’t transmitting live like the other ones.
Well, it’s long gone and buried. We all move! No one can kill us at all.. our spirit cant be broken but after this act that the electoral umpires just did, trust me, if it was 70% that hate to vote considering the fact that vote doesn’t count, it just rose to 89% now..
If we decide to talk about Nigeria politics here… we’ll talk till next year and it won’t end…
I don't want to say that I am satisfied with German politics, not at all. But the framework conditions seem to me to be far more transparent and secure... I very much hope that your 3rd party or a new player can still bring about a positive change; you are the African country with the most inhabitants: You have weight!
