I'll not attempt to bore you with too many wordings. So before you start thinking #jeyKAD has gone crazy, here (in no particular order) are reasons to not vote. Feel free to criticize constructively. Don't Vote that candidate whose manifesto is riddled with blames, pointing out the flaws of the other candidate(s). Don't vote that candidate who sees nothing good with previous and current regimes. Don't vote that candidate who thinks he/she (alone) is or has all it takes to make Nigeria work.

To me, I smell the 'Oshio' game on display. What is Oshio game? It is an effective method of gaining political relevance in the guise that you are fighting for the people's course. Yes! Na me talk am. The leadership of NLC must prove me wrong. How? Let's put in perspective who a worker is_ one who does a job and is entitled to his/her wage on a certain agreed date/time. By this, everyone who earns salary/allowances at the end of the month (in Nigeria) falls under the umbrella of the term in view. Oga Ayuba should now push further and make moves to help facilitate a motion for a wholistic review of the wage system of our country. As an ordinary Nigerian, there are some questions I'd like to put forward: 1. Who determines what Presidents, Governors, Senators, Reps, Governors, LG c
