 adeshj いた A 然後  Discord Parliament Met This trust the need for a crop of leaders that will salvage her from the do drums of depreciation and mediocrity. Nigeria boasts to be one of the most talented and heavily resourced nations in Africa and the world at large. But unfortunately, poor leadership has been the bane of her existence. Intellectualism and the rights intact are the ingredients for a stronger Nigeria. In the thick of devices and that plagues her, the nation needs a leader who has thought out strategy and experienced list with good leadership track record to be at the hem of her face. In light of the recent conference held by the Nigerian Bar Association, MBE, deemed bold transition, the speech of the presidential candidates is enough evidence that we have gone past the stage of gullible and unattainable promises from political aspirants. Aspirants are now sensitive enough to study the climate and prefer sustainable solutions in their functions, species and dialogues. Citizens are woken to reality and most importantly the rate of political apathy has been on the decline. Since the rise of smart and politically aware candidates and citizens, mediocrity in terms of integrity and intellect cannot be condoned. In order for political candidates to express intellectualism and effectively market their candidates to the electorates, the following should be meticulously considered enormously. Demonstrating competency. Our numerous challenges as a nation is very obvious. So a thickly realistic solution in conversations would go a long way in spotlighting candidates' competence. Empathy. We cannot overemphasize the importance and after effect of genuinely connecting with the plight of the electorates, it is in the best interest of political candidates to listen carefully when issues are presented and be intentional about appropriate response. Embracing criticism. It is expected that whenever we want truth heart or his heart into the ring, his or her actions will be viewed under the public lens of scrutiny. Political candidates should thus learn from criticism from their opponent or even the electorate in improving their plans or ideas. Finally, let us meditate on these words of Martin van Boren, each president of the United States from 1837 to 1841 and the founder of the Democratic Party. It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't. This simply means no excuse for failure. Political candidates be warned. No, not for you. They should be warned. No excuse for failure. I mean, without sounding negative and alright, I would just say that we will still see some failure. The good thing is what you mentioned that you have a citizenry that is becoming more aware. If nothing else, I love the fact that everybody now has a mantra. Do you have your PVC? Have you got your PVC? People are encouraging. It wasn't like that. Even just in the last election cycle, it wasn't even like that. But as you said, you know, it just took four years and people are beginning to understand that I must get my PVC. It was lovely to see the numbers. Now it's not now just getting the PVC, but that we must use it. That you have it, you now must go out. Then after going out, so they're in stages. So maybe we might not get to stage two completely this time, but at least we will get to it maybe next time, which is actually everybody who has a card will go out and vote. Then from the voting, we will now all escort it. I don't know how we are escorting electronically. Yes, yes, yes. I hope they carry the promise of electronic transmission. I think they have done it in Osho and we should switch aspects. So now having seen that the candidacy is awake. I still don't think even your candidates that are running are fully awake. Does he have one? Yes. I don't think that they are. I mean, we've seen flashes of brilliance from everybody who has come to talk. We don't want flashes. We want consistent brilliance when they're talking. I want to when the person is talking and I'm not in my head, I can say yes. What this person is saying is realistic. I can see it. They are not fancy words. They are not fancy words. They are not fancy ideas. I want them to talk in terms of the realism. We have been talking about that because World Bank said this or EU said that or NATO said that. What is the Nigerian system of society throwing up? Right? That they are, what you call it, they are home that the solutions are going to be home grown. Not to understand. I think that is where for me. I think the candidates are losing me. Yes, they are not exactly. They are not giving me home grown solutions. I think that is the next area that our candidates need to start looking in. On top of these home grown solutions are not rocket science or going to be things that are going to be left centre. No. We need to crawl before we can walk. It's fine. If this is when we want to start getting it right, we don't have to jump or run. We just need to get it right. Okay. Thank you so much. In my own view, I think just to portray what you said. Getting the PVC alone is not the yastic for a better Nigeria, right? So the candidacy is not as if they are not aware of the reality. They are using it as a tool. I give an example when your election is coming and poverty is safe induced in Nigeria. Exactly. That's why I said, keep the money and pay it when they think they can manipulate your decision. Sure. Exactly. All the salaries are not paid on time. Close to the election, you see multiple salaries paid. You see 30,000 or 7,000 nair. Somebody that has no heating and has some bills. You're like, okay, if I vote for this person and I take the 7,000, it takes 2,000 nair for my feeding. 1,000 nair for medicals and stuff like that. I think this one is better. So vote buying is easy because it is just psychological. And the funniest thing is the vulnerabilities that we are actually in this stuff, we, the allies, are not close to them. So we don't relate to them. We don't build structure around them. Don't forget that PDP, as we speak today, is the most grandest structure across Nigeria. That every world and you know, they are indigenous. You know, APC is a merger of multiple parties. When we are saying indigenous, like a party that has structure, grandest structure to the grassroot. So if we are saying Labour Party, we are saying ADC and what are the grandest structure that they have. How close are they? As individual, what are we doing in our community? Even our polling units to bring people together. To say, you know what, if you vote this person because of 5,000 nair, you will suffer for it because politics is more like business. I have paid you to get what I want. Then I do whatever I need to do because that money is not for free. So we talk about kabas and whatever you know. It's not just about the candidacy. If I come today and I say take under billion nair for this election, I'm sure of winning the election if I have the right strategy because I will use it to buy, right? And that under billion, if it is two people that bought the under billion on grand, definitely those two people are the kabas. They will collect the money at their own interest rates, at their own time. So they don't have business with the populist gate. So there are a lot of things that we need to start to look into beyond getting a PVC. Let us also start building structures. Not just talking on social media and whatever. Anyway, just like Madam Comfort said, she said that the process, initially people had this buta apati, the wool sand buta skat. That's what we say. Look at Palans, wool sand buta skat. They only get it to open bank account. Right now, the intention about getting it. So I think from hands phones, we are talking about voting. No, that reminds me, young persons will be making jest just to drive consciousness. Some of them will come online and say we will get PVC with wool sand. You understand what I mean? Yeah, exactly. With that, this kind of statement, look at Palans. They go to a restaurant and say we will get PVC by foot job. All those things. So it's a way of driving consciousness. We've gotten a lot of persons that had that consciousness of going to get PVC. So now the next stage is we actually vote for wool sand. Exactly. Just to add to what you said. Let us say for example, like Oyster in the United Kingdom. Like you have an Oyster card. You used to pay for Nondombos and what have you. Think about it when your voter skat gives you the ability to have discounts. Automatically, you know that if you have the right set of persons, this is your voter card as a value. Exactly. That you are getting from it. You know that once you do the right thing and the right candidates are on the seat, we have a lot of discounts. You can look into legal state BRT solutions. Then from ECO, due to CMS, you spend close to 1,000 naira, but in local bus. But when it started just 200 naira, you know you can say okay I'm getting the dividend of democracy. So things like that. We should be looking into the candidates here and what they have for us. So that is an opportunity for political candidates to put in their best efforts to articulate and describe and explain what they have for us. Upness is complete boots. Stick with us.
