MORE FOCUS ON THE ELECTORATE
I have watched the way many let out their passion for the nation by criticising the government of the day when they go wrong. It is good but I think to get the turning we need, we need to use a prevention method. To prevent those we know are not worthy of those place from getting there. It will saves the nation many headaches and waste.
I will discuss here one of the ways. it is simply ' ELECTORATES EDUCATION'. If the electorates are well educated on who to choose in quality, what to do in voting right and how to do it in using the ballot paper well, you can be rest assured that the battle is majorly won.
With much more strength than we speak against an erring government, we should enlighten the electorates on who is the best for every electoral position, looking at the qualities worthy.
Good qualities
Stewardship with humility
Selfless rule with integrity
Fear of God and moderate in all things
Intelligent and counsel seeker
With proves with past works or services.
Sentiment should be done away with. Supporting aspirants because they are from one area or tribe whether good or not good enough should be counted out. Vote should be a sign approval, approval should come to good quality and assurance not being bias.
Let them know what they stand to lose if they will receive that package, gift blinds the mind. Let them know what to lose if they will collect that money, they will surely pay for it.
Much should be done to shift the mind of the electorate from the wrong culture of dirty gift and take- giving their votes for money or material. It is a wrong electoral culture Nigerians have to adopt has right.
Important as well, electorate should be taught, well educated on how to use the ballot paper. So their choices will not be deprived their approvals.
Nigeria have to leave the realm of dark democracy, where we leave all the aged, uneducated folks, bias ones and wait to judge. Our waiting to judge had never and will never work. We should take the prevention steps, doing ball in good measure to prevent those we know will be hot chains round our neck from getting there, this will go a long way.
Do not give the aspirants all attention, give much attention to the electorates, as at the time they have all the power, to choose or not. once they choose, the power turn, they have given it. It is then much more difficult to decide again.
