EXERCISING YOUR FRANCHISE COME 2015 G.E Nigeria is arguably the strongest nation not only in Africa but in the whole world. This is a nation that has withstood disunity among its citizens since independence and yet it has not disintegrated. It is a nation that has endured the most chronic form of institutional corruption for almost 35 years and yet we are still rich and recently richer by our ‘rebased’ GDP. Nigeria has endured the highest form of electoral abuses and manipulations in one form or the other from 1999 to date, but yet our citizens have never refused to vote. In the last elections in 2011, Nigerians were only limited to the options of Buhari and Jonathan, with Shekarau and Ribadu being considered as distant outsiders not because of their incompetence but because of the nature of the political system and myopic political thinking of the Nigerian public.(Merging together to form APC) This year, the choices are even narrower as Nigerians would only have the option to choose between whatever thing the PDP or APC presents to them.Some highlighted reasons/point why you need to exercise your franchise on feb 14th 2014 are listed below; 1. An opportunity to exercise one of the privileges of living in a democratic nation. 2. It is a responsibility of all naturalized citizens. 3.Our duty as Nigerians 4.Because voting is fun
