2023 NIGERIA ELECTION

untitled.gif

For this weekend, we will be discussing about different things, but mainly about our election. As we all know, there are different candidates going for different positions both at the federal, state and local level and we all have a role to play to helping the right people fill these different positions.

So we want to know...

  • HOW HAS THE PREPARATIONS TOWARDS THE ELECTION BEING FOR YOU?

OR

  • HOW DO YOU THINK THE ELECTION WILL BE LIKE? OR HOW WAS IT? (FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE SEEING THIS LATER)

We've noticed that the engagement has been dropping a whole lot recently and we are not totally sure why but we want to encourage us to keep inviting more of our Nigeria brethren to join us and also encourage those who are no longer engaging to please do so. And on that note, we have decided to make our threads and hive post one at a time as we notice some persons are finding it hard to cope and we hope this helps carry everyone along.


Okay Let's Gist!!!!

Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.

untitled.gif


Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

Oh yes before I forget, there are also prizes for those that did well to invite someone new to the party and also you that has done well to invite someone you are also not left behind because you didn't leave anyone behind. But wait... Not so fast, this time you have to be more intentional about your invite, yes that's right...you know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you to look beyond the prize and look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.

With all that said, let the discussion begin....

Thank you, Sam. How are you doing?
You no dey vote? 🥴😅

Tomorrow na helele..
The only problem here is that some political parties aren't playing it fair enough.

One lawmaker of PDP extraction was caught with a cash of $500,000. That's is undemocratic. And the funny thing is that when he was arrested, he confessed that he was sent by the Presidential flagbearer of PDP.

another issue here is that the LP stalwarts have started complaining that the party name is not on the ballot paper.
INEC should provide a conducive atmosphere for a credible elections. One where voted of the electorates will count.

Whatttttt
Big cash inside cash scarcity
Hhhmm

So sorry I came late.. I just hope all of us exercised our Civic rights obidiently Sha🥰

The rewards earned on this comment will go directly to the people ( @hopestylist ) sharing the post on LeoThreads.

Preparations are in place in full swing. Infact I happen to have been shortlisted as an INEC ad-hoc staff in my constituency. It is open for students in my University and we even completed the training program yesterday.

This is my first time voting. It makes me feel both nervous and excited as I get to face all the uncertainties of tomorrow's event, both as an official and a voter, and excited because I get to make my vote count tomorrow.

Y'all folks, vote wisely.

God bless Hive!
God bless Nigeria!

Then we are in the same page, it also my first time and also working as one of the INEC official

That's nice! Good to know!

See these people with full energy I love it...

Wow, now I see why you loved the topic of discussion, hehe, I can't wait to read your comment, hehe

Wow
Congratulations on being selected as one of the index ad-hoc.
I am preparing so well
Can't wait for tomorrow already
My vote will count

Thanks a lot!

I trust your government my amiable ambassador 🙌🥰

Hahaha
In God we trust my darling
Tommorw is here

Of course, God is overall, I know that, hehe

Well done champ
News like this gives me goosebumps.
I like what you are doing.
Keep it up

Thanks for the encouragement man!

Wow, that's indeed a great uncertainty you must be facing now but I'm sure and I hope it will be a blissful experience for you. Please stay safe 🥰

Thanks hopestylist!

You are welcome Surgeoncaspar 🥰

Hello everyone
This topic has e dey hot for my body na him I go drop. Alright back to the question

HOW HAS THE PREPARATIONS TOWARDS THE ELECTION BEING FOR YOU?

Well well I supper excited first to be of age to an accredited voter and to sum it up as one of the INEC official,

Well since it my first time to really participate it has been an awesome experience for me, for the about a week now I have been attending the INEC official training on how to work professional during this election. I think am a little bit anxious about it Because of the stories of how election use to be in Nigeria my beloved country, but at the same time I feel fulfilled participation as my own way of creating a new Nigeria, a new hope and a new future.

Thanks

Nothing to worry my dear
Just be calm and do Ur work
Hopefully, everything will be fine

Hope so. Thanks for your encouragement

Please be encouraged oo, there is no room for fear and doubts 😃

No fear
We can be positive

Of course, I'm not scared of anything as pertaining to the election sha, hehe

Yeah, everything will be fine ☺️

As officials, I believe we have been given two opportunities to help ourselves and the country; to vote and to monitor. Perhaps we may see it as insignificant but if we do our jobs well, we will actively be taking part towards building a better country. Our training was just three days by the way.

I so much love the mindset you have towards this opportunity that has been given to you, all I can do is wish you all the best in doing your work as you should and also pray for you workers too

Thanks for the encouragement once again!

It's my pleasure 🤗

It is well bro

I can understand your uncertainty at this level especially for the fact that it is your first time voting and actively participating in election. I'm very positive you will do extremely well dear. All the best and please be safe and vigilant 🥰

Abi vigilant very important. Thanks

Yes oo my dear.

Happy election day 🥰

Welcome to the fold my sister. It's your first time going to the ballot. I hope you have weighed the candidate and made a credible choice.

I wish that we get it right this time.

Thanks dear

So, how's the election atmosphere over there in your end?

Guys the unit an work we are having issues with the BVAS

Hello my amiable naija people. How Una dey ooo ....hope fine shaaa....the big day is tomorrow, so let's quickly look into this weekend topic.

HOW HAS THE PREPARATIONS TOWARDS THE ELECTION BEING FOR YOU?

Omo, it's been great oo
In my capacity, I have been spreading the news of this election, encouraging people both online (in hive, WhatsApp and Facebook status) and offline to participate in the election. I have my PVC already, it wasn't so easy to get the day I got it but it worth the sacrifice...so come tomorrow, I am super ready to cast my vote .

HOW DO YOU THINK THE ELECTION WILL BE LIKE? OR HOW WAS IT? (FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE SEEING THIS LATER)

Well, I am positive about tomorrow. I am hoping that the election will be peaceful and those with their pvc will turn out. I have seen at least two people who travelled all the way from Enugu state to Lagos state yesterday just to vote... imagine this huge sacrifice.

If possible, I think I will be free and fair, first in history in Nigeria 😂😂

@quduus1 , @justfavour , @princessbusayo , @hivedeb , @hopestylist , @merit.ahama , make Una come drop Ur entry oo
Let's see how e be for Ur end

I'm very sure this election will be one of a kind, hehe, e go choke

Nothing sweet me pass this sweet face representing naija well.
Our vote must count this time around.

Smiles 😍🥰
Thank you

You are welcome ma'am

A true Nigerian 😂😂😂 tomorrow is here already and I can't wait too. But I don't have my PVC with me. They transferred it to Lagos from Ondo and I got to know of it late, and I couldn't travel especially with the way things are now. I will be praying while I hope for the best.

Hahaha 😂🤣🤣
Oops...I am not happy hearing that u wouldn't vote
Anyways, it's well
Ur prayers will go a long way

I salute you ma

Need to say this, this year election has to be the one with the highest participation so far for me
You need to see people trooping in just to make sure they vote even people outside the country
Just this Wednesday I have two people who just got in all because of Saturday.
Twitter is with a lot of energy and even young ones and babies know election is coming
Now everyone is trying to participate the kind of energy I like.

The preparation has been with a lot of energy and I just hope we make the right decision this time

Well for now you never can tell how the election would go
I just hope it works out well in everyones favor

Wow... people are traveling back to Nigeria just to vote
I have never witnessed this type of election with full energy from the citizens
Seems many are tired of suffering 😂😂🤣

I see one video of a young lady who travelled all the way from the UK just to cast a vote.

Nigeria go survive

Good afternoon dear compatriots and nationalists. As a full-blooded Nigerian, it gives me the pleasure to go out to vote candidate of my choice. It is no more news that the last eight years has been the toughest for all Nigerian citizens, the poor, middle class and the elite respectively; except those who are feeding from our national treasure where they did not work.

The campaigns have ended now and we have seen convincingly that some people are not even suppose to be in the race but in jail for the many atrocities they have committed against the people of Nigeria. I know that if not now, sometimes in the future, we are going to have some review of our past leaders in the law court. But that aside, we are ready for the elections

Crimes Before Election

Just this more ing, Arise TV broadcasted a lawmaker in Rivers state who was caught with $500,000 cash to bribe voters. In his custody was a document where the distribution modality was written out. When asked, he said it was his principal, the PDP presidential flag bearer that sent him the errand. I wonder what more evidence will be needed to prosecute such persons in a just and egalitarian society like ours.

Left to me, I would say that our democracy is in her teenage age and not mature enough yet. It is a passing phase though. Someday,we will get there.

The Labour Party stalwarts across the nation have had different press conferences stating that their party name is not on the ballot paper. They already accuse INEC of not been straightforward to the third force.

Generally speaking anyways,I think the election will be peaceful in some quarters but there may be skeletal unrest in some parts of the nation (I'm not a prophet of doom, just stating the obvious).

One thing is clear, of all the registered voters, the youth (persons from 18-49 years) makes about 60% of the total voters. Believe me you, if we'll come out to vote, putting in mind the last eight deadly years that was preceded by wanton çorruption by the PDP led government, and the high rate of poverty, insecurity and unemployment; we should know who to vote for.

The no cash issue is not making it any easy tho, but to be honest, our spirit is high for our candidate and at this point, it should be clear who anyone is voting for. I go give my vote to Peter Obi. Man we get vision and wisdom. I greet every Obidient and Batista, and Baluba people here.. May Nigeria win

I am also obedient
The review among the candidates are so clear now
Tommorw is here already

My sister, a new Nigeria is possible.
Lets troop out en mass to vote the only credible candidate in the general election #PO

Po is the man for the people

Certainly.
He is the new hope for a new Nigeria.

The articulated people are crashing out in a funny way..

I dey tell you

The no-cash matter was designed to ensure that the is no vite buying but with what we have seen so far, it may not be business as usual for the two big political parties that have held sway since the 4th republic began.

This particular election, the youth is an u formidable force that will ensure that the polity is cleaned up and messy politicians are swept away.

#ANewNigeriaIsPossible.

I think we should just flood #threads with these hashtags . #AnewNigeriaisPossible #Obi #Obidient

Correct. With that, the world through hive will know that #Obi is the next big thing in Africa.

Nice idea
I wish the will of the people will be the result
The updates has been terrible
Can Nigeria be great again?

Hmmm
They were still sharing money yesterday even with the redesign
Corruption everywhere 😭

LP is currently leading in 17 states. Just be at peace. All other matters should be reported to INEC server.

LP is hopeful.

Aiit
Thanks for encouraging me

Obedient we remain

Despite the thuggery in Lagos, we remain obidient.

Okay, we are here today. Let's start dropping ideas even though my pipu don rush come here as if dem don dey expect make e drop 😅😅

HOW HAS THE PREPARATIONS TOWARDS THE ELECTION BEING FOR YOU?

I don preach tire say make people go vote tomorrow. I told them to vote wisely and even threatened anyone who vote the wrong person say make e no come meet me later in the future say country hard. Na dem Sabi oo... 😂😂

I have stocked my room with food since there wouldn't be traders selling and I don't want hunger to kill me because of election. Though, staying without food for election is worth it oo. We are true Naija 😅😅😅

I will be at home as I was unable to collect my PVC. It was sent to Lagos as per my plan but now, things has changed (all thanks to my school for spoiling things) I couldn't travel to Lagos because of safety. I am too careful to go anywhere these days but I am doing one thing — praying 😂😂😂

HOW DO YOU THINK THE ELECTION WILL BE LIKE? OR HOW WAS IT? (FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE SEEING THIS LATER)

Hmm, I don't know but I hope for things to go well. They shouldn't do wayo wayo but I believe God can change things there. I just hope the man I am praying for should win and that is Obidient (LP) Make people vote wisely and not be bribed oo. That money go finish before that day but what remains is the four years on seat.

Just few hours and we go know Nigeria's fate. God will take control.

Babe....this is a critical time for Nigerians
I lost appetite reading the updates so far
So many labour party ballot papers got burnt, so many tipex used to erase
.lots of manipulation and injustice
I weep for my dear country
God please 😭😭

He no easy at all the preparation has been really tough waiting day even vex me pass be the fact that this government that will soon pass away kept us hungrier than before, before the election go start na good thing shae i hope say after this election things go change for us for this country waiting una think

The corrupt Nigerians are already manipulating the result
I weep for my dear country

Let's flood the threads with hashtag #ObidentDay
