Civic Engagement

Time to be reasonable ...

As youth, across the globe especially in Nigeria, to participate in how you are governed and contributing your own quota to bring about national and global development must be part of why you exist.

Your birth isn't recognized until government says you're born (Certificate of Birth)

You're not educated until Government certified that you're (School Certificates)

You can't run a viable business without government's approval (Certificate of incorporation)

Your marriage is not authentic until government acknowledged that you're married (Marriage Certificate)

You can't claim lawful ownership of properties except government confirmed it belongs to you (Certificate of Occupancy)

You're an offender driving your own car except government grants you authority to do so (License and particulars)

You're a thief and criminal if you make money in your business and don't give some percentage to government (Taxes)

You're not dead except government says you are dead (Death Certificate)

Government is in control of the major aspects of your life. Yet someone tells you not to be part of the process that determines those who emerge to form your government.

I suspect that person is a demon

You better be wise and do the needful, get your Permanent Voters Card!!!

That is part of your civic engagement!

I have mine already, have you gotten yours?
