Elections: Who Should You Vote For? Election is approaching in Nigeria and politicians, party candidates are campaigning all over the country. There are hundreds of candidate if not thousands for various elective post in the government from Local to National level. One important issue about elections in Africa is that people don’t vote. The numbers of voters in proportion to the number of legible voters is very alarming. One of the few and flimsy excuse the would be voters will give us that is that “votes don’t count so why vote?” If you are an eligible voter, you should vote. It’s your civic right and a responsible voter will. Who Should You Vote For?

We are still in the New Year mood. Like I started last week, I continue on what we need to note as we journey through the year 2019 (You can read the previous post  here ): Be Forgiving : One thing about unforgiveness is that it slows you down and make you bitter. Revenge is never sweet, to retaliate is a downward slope. People are bound to offend you but you should be strong enough to forgive them and move on. Investment : This year, you must be an investor. Invest in your self, Relationship, education, career, family.  Investing is like sowing, you will surely reap it in due season when you follow the rules of planting. Most people are expectant but they never sow. Investment is not only about money. Invest your time, energy, resources, leisure. They eventually pay off. Be Wise : Year 2019 won’t be nice on the foolish ones. Don’t just take any decision anyhow. Think before you speak and think before you decide. Evaluate your many options, get wide consultation...
