The country's Budget are left unattended to, rather they derive pleasure in spending to electoral processes!
This article is in relation to the recent article I wrote lately, regarding to the Fuel Scarcity issue in the country, as we speak right now, the issue of fuel Scarcity hasn't come to a close. The bitter truth is that, Alot of petrol tankers are delivering Petrol to each filling Stations, but those filling station has just decided not to sell those fuel anymore. @Princessbusayo was making a point regarding to how much she's purchasing her Gas cooker refilling per kg. She was even complaining that she do fill it at the rate of #850 per kg, not knowing the price has appreciated again. As we speak right away, I refill gas at the rate of #950 per kg and that won't last more than 5 days or a week. @FashTioluwa testified that it's already #1000 per kg in their area.
Let's come to today's article, it's only in this country of mine, that election is their main priority. The Nigeria government doesn't even practice democracy anymore, because the full description of what Democracy means is not even working and abiding by Nigeria government. The Definition of Democracy according to "Abraham Lincoln" is that; "Democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people" which means the populace or the majority are to decide for their respective representative for public offices, except for "by-election"
If I'm to give a Definition about Democracy regarding to how Nigeria is practicing their own Democracy, I will define Democracy as " Nomination of Representatives for public offices by the Minorities, who are financially stable to control the government" that's just the description of how Democracy is practiced in the country. For instance; Just imagine in a country of total population #800K and just #400 people are deciding for us. The financially stable Minorities are the ones deciding for who and who to become the next representative.
Nigeria spend more on election!
Most of the fund gathered by the country is basically for campaigns and how the election will come in their favour, if probably an election is coming up next year, they will have started arranging money from this year till when the election campaign is coming up, because no party want to lose the election. The country money is spent basically on
Election Rigging
Election campaign
Election Rigging
The current ruling party All progressive Congress (APC) are always found Rigging most of their election, they will go extra mile in polluting the mind of the INEC bodies just to attain the post they want.
Election Rigging already started from the polling boot where your are voting, where one particular person will vote twice for a particular candidate, and most of the voters are found voting for the party with the highest money. The party giving the most money, are end up having the highest number of votes, hence leading to conflict in the polling boot
Election campaigns
Election campaigns is another main thing that waste the country money. More funds are used for rallies and campaign. Huge money is used in buying vest and the printing of the candidate of the particular party they are into.
Conclusion
More money which ought to be given to the populace are always arranged for election, where majority of the Citizens are suffering. I do wonder that, why can't they choose candidates who come from poor homes, so that if they get to the post of authority, they can as well remember the poor families and relatives including the poor community which he/she came from. But it's never that way, they keep choosing candidate from financially stable homes, who doesn't even know people are suffering
Thanks for engaging in my article, it's an opportunity being amidst y'all
May God help us in this country. I went to register for my PVC few days ago as required by my school. You needed to see the way one INEC official was collecting money from people.
