FOR THIS SAKE OF THE FUTURE OF THIS LITTLE BABBY AND HER LIKES
The Voters register is now on Display and Independent Electoral Commission has informed all the Citizen of Nigeria who have registered to vote in the April 2011 election to go and check their name in the voter's register being display at the place where they registered.
I was informing my uncle about this when he asked me that If he has the chance to contest on the Platform of the People Democratic Party which is the ruling party in Nigeria and where most Nigerian believe that once you contest election on its Platform the person will automatically win. I bluntly told him that I will not campaign for him neither will II vote for him if he contest even the most irrelevant election under PDP.
He was surprised, he said if it happen like that in reality, he will take it as a declaration of enmity against him.
To make my strong feeling against voting a party who had been in Power for good 12years without any Positive Contribution to the country.I pointed to a little baby who is happily enjoying the afternoon cold Barth that her mother is giving her, and I told him that "for the sake of this baby and the likes of her I will rather not vote nor Campaign for anyone who is vying for electoral post under PDP and become that person's enemy instead of voting a party that is in control of majority of all the States of the Federation and was still unable to make any Positive Impact in the Life of Nigerian Citizen.
Thank God that he he got my drift and realized that my anger is against the ruling Party in Nigeria and not against him.
While we were still talking, my friend who has earlier told me that he registered outside his registration area came in to visit me. I asked him what he is going to do now that the Voters registration Lists were out, he told me that he will go back to the registration Center where he and his wife registered at Ajao Estate to check the registration list for his and his wife's names.I pointed out to him that he has not told me the solution to the situation that he created for himself as regarding where he will cast his vote on the Election day since there will not be movement on that day, he could not give me an answer instead he asked me what I think should be the solution in this kind of situation,when he asked me this, it suddenly occurred to me that their is solution. I have to go and see to an activities so we could not continue our discussion I bade my friend goodbye,seeing him off on our way out we promised to continue our discussion some other time

Back To Voters R egistration.
Nigeria will soon be going back to the pole to elect their leaders again.This is presenting Nigerians another opportunity to elect credible leaders.
I am more concerned about the political Platform upon which the aspirants are being presented to Nigerians i.e i am more concern about the party that a candidate is coming out from though the candidates must also be a person of Integrity and honest but if we remember that members of People Democratic Party are in majority in the National Assembly, they also control more than 20 states of the federation for almost 12 years and we still do not have Constant Power Supply, No good sources of drinking water, and our federal roads are in such a terrible State that it is a death trap, then we have to make sure that such a party is not voted back into power. Such party is the reason why our industrial sector is in comatose, such party is the reason why young Nigerians who have bright ideas that will create jobs but does not have money to buy generator to keep the business going are unable to put their ideas to test thereby denying Nigerians an opportunity to benefiting from such ideas that will impact positively on the country. Such a party encourages grafts and does not ask question when members who are in government through its platform are not adding value to the country they are ruling but are amassing wealth at the expense of the people they are ruling, then such a party should be voted out of power because even if an angel is presented as presidential candidate, governorship candidate and even candidates for National Assembly on the Platform of Such Party, they will not make any positive impact to the life of Nigerians because of the financial burden placed upon them by their Party.

VOTERS REGISTRATION AND DE-ENFRACHISEMENT OF NIGERIAN ELECTORATES
I was with a friend of mine yesterday and we were talking about the just concluded Registration of voters and the following discussion ensued between us:
I : I thought you said you are traveling to Imo State to go and register.
My friend: I ended up not traveling again, i register at Ajao Estate.
I: why Ajao estate why not Ikotun where you resides.
My Friend: To register in my area of resident was a tug of war, i and my wife decided to look for other area where we can register when it occurred to us that the registration exercise is coming to an end and we may not be able to register before the initial two weeks elapsed, we did not know that the exercise will be extended for another one week and did you know that they even extended it for further two days after the one week expired?
I I hear about it but don't you think that you are effectively disenfranchised bearing in mind that movement will completely be restricted during the election period until the end of the election.
My Friend: I know but i have to take the chance, Sade you know as well as i know that things are not going right in this country everybody are poor, including those of us that are doing our legitimate work and working hard at it and we have to vote out those non-performing PDP out of Power:.
I: Can you please tell me how your registering in Ajao Estate when your house is in Ikotun make it possible for you to vote out PDP?
My friend : Sade, I understand your drift, but in Nigeria everything have solution and it is the solution that will make it possible for those of us who did not register in our area of residence that we should think about.
I: You are the one that did not register in your area of residence you are the one to tell me.
My Friend: Sade, I will tell you but right now i have something of importance to attend to, lets live it for now until tomorrow.
It will interest people that many people did not register in their area of residence during the registration of voters exercise, i have thought of a solution to how those who did not register in their area of resident can vote, but I'm keeping it close to my chest until i hear what my friend's solution is.
