GO GET YOUR PVC

GO GET YOUR PVC NOW!

 

You are a shame and a monumental disgrace to humanity if you are a Nigerian above 18 years of age without a permanent voters card. You probably are the most meanest, heartless and worthless individual in our motherland who does not mean well for all. If after experiencing the mayhem under the APC led administration, still on still, you still need a prophet or an Imam to cajole you into getting your PVC, let me state it succinctly here without mincing any word that you are a disaster to be avoided. As a healthy youth eligible to vote, who has not been disenfranchised either by age or by any other illicit act committed by you, and you still do not see the need to go get a PVC, you are actually the number one problem we have in this country. You are clearly worst than our avarice politicians. Yes sir! Yes ma! You are no better than them. You are not only part of the predicament we are battling with currently, you and your kind are the biggest problem confronting us in this dear country of ours.

 

 

None of us as adults need a sear or a prophet to prophesy unto us that politics determines everything. Politics is the father of other aspects in our lives. Politics dictates and determines the tone and rhythm of the economy. Politics determines what we eat, what we would wear, what is legal, illegal, moral, immoral or amoral. Politics determines the food we eat, how we eat it, when to eat it, what quantity or quality of food to eat, what kind or variety of food to be eaten. Take for example when our dimwits political leaders decided to ban that importation of rice under the guise that it would make us self sufficient in terms of rice production. The prices of rice in the market skyrocketed - almost doubled. I know of many families in my previous neighborhood who were eating rice daily prior to embargo placed on rice importation, but before I left that neighborhood last year, they could only afford to eat rice once in a week!

 

 

Another vital example of how politics determines everything is when the unreasonable increase in electricity tariff forced some small firm in kano to retrench workers. One of my neighbors then in Kano state was badly affected. He lost his job while still having about seven mouths to feed daily. Things became very tough, one day he left home without dropping a dime for food, when he came back, the wife was nagging him. She was nagging him, calling him an irresponsible father, a poor man, a failure etc. I think the words got to him, depression sets in. Then, one day after a hot section of nagging from his wife, he took his kettle outside his house for ablution, while he bends down to perform his ablution, that was his last breathe. The man died outside his house on a bent position still holding his small kettle with his two hands.

 

 

I can go on and on with sordid stories of how life because unbearable for most Nigerians. Things got so bad for some families to the extend that children no longer ask their parents to buy them biscuit, sweet or candy while returning from work. They were asking their parents to buy them rice or spaghetti because these food items have become so expensive that an average family earning minimum wage presently in Nigeria can only dream of eating rice ones in a week. It's no more feasible to eat rice as usual - everyday!

 

These are just only some few examples of the power politics has over our lives as individuals in a country. Politics also determines who dies and who should live. Politicians out of their stupidity, cupidity and gullibility may decide to go to war where millions of innocent souls could be killed 'justifiably'. This is to the extend politics or politicians can affect or influence our existence as a people.

 

 

Armed with this simple knowledge about politics, is it now wise for us to leave something this delicate into the hands of mean men who probably have sold their souls to Lucifer?. Is it now right for us as youths to keep allowing all these old folks who have proven a track record of the highest form of failure, consistently, mount the mantle of leadership in this blessed country? Is it right to seat down, relax, fold our arms to keep suffering and smiling in extreme poverty while some nincompoop, who claim to be our rulers keep looting our national treasury? Is it prudent on our part to place our PVC inside our locker for them to be gathering dust even on the day of election? Is it not a show of the highest form of idiocy and asinine to not have a PVC after the unimaginable economic quagmire the APC administration have sank us into?

 

 

I put it to you Nigerian youths that any of you without a PVC has committed a big crime against humanity. It is an offence of the highest order if you are above 18 years of age and you don't have a PVC. You are worst than a murderer, worst than an infidel, worst than a bandit, a terrorist. You are probably worst than our political elites who have created artificial insecurity, using this as a long tunnel to continue looting our common wealth.

 

 

It's is never too late to make amends. It is never too late to make things right. It's never too late to go get your PVC. Young man, young woman, your PVC is your birthright! Your PVC is your fundamental human right. Your PVC is your ticket into a world of liberty. Go get it now so that together, we can flush out all these old carcoon who continue to perpetuate themselves in power while at the same time they keep dragging our dear country backward.

 

Thank you!
