This same people you are canvassing for, are they going to give us the better Nigeria that we deserve? Are they going to give answers to our insecurities? Are they going to explain why they changed our quality naira notes to a coloured paper notes?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Their children are not part of this, just the poor and ignorant are left to face the consequence alone.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">99% of our youths shouting for change don&#8217;t have voters card while the old market women who have no choice than to vote for a cup of rice are left to make the decision of our country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It&#8217;s such a pity that if this game of personal interest isn&#8217;t led by a competent person, we all still have no choice than to embark on another eight years of suffering and famine.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Why can&#8217;t we just dive into our memories to remember when bus from Iyanaiba to Iyanaipaja was still 100naira also to when Schoolfees was something parents could afford, to when fuel was still #75naira, to when Rice was #100, to when health is wealth because hospital bill is now death on it own.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">How on earth will you be 18 without a voter&#8217;s card?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The part you take leads to your freedom, everyone have the freedom to vote.
