Corruption in our country is the sad truth that we must face every single day. The truth can't be denied. We can point fingers, complain or blame someone for our alleged political system and corrupt officials but this mistake is our own making.
IT ALL STARTED WITH OUR ONE PRECIOUS VOTE!
This coming May 14, 2018, we have the power to change that and we can vote out the undeserving officials. Just don't do the same mistakes (listed below) all over again. Here are our 10 most stupid decisions:
We vote for money - Don't choose to prosper for a day with money and give up your future, your families future and the fate of the whole nation.
We vote for debt - Don't sell your vote in exchange for a debt of gratitude. You may have paid your debt but the future interest of that vote you made will cost the entire nation exponentially and unmeasurable.
We vote by promises - Don't vote the sweet talkers. They are the one with the tongue of the blade later on.
We vote by popularity - Don't vote because they are popular actors, actress, sports personalities etc. Voting based on popularity is a lame excuse not to choose the better one.
We vote by affiliation - Don't vote because they are our relatives, friends, or our town mate thinking that we can easily approach them for help without thinking that our vote can help the entire nation.
We vote by endorsement - Don't vote because our church leaders said so.
We don't vote at all - Not exercising one’s right to make a wise vote can increase the chance of an unworthy politician to win.
We vote with uncertainty - Don't just make a wild guess without knowing who is deserving and who is not.
We vote based on surveys - Don't vote for candidates that are sure to win, just so you can boast to your peers that you made the right choice and everyone you chose won.
We vote in multitude or stole votes - Don't be naive and let the politicians tell you that they have your back when you get caught. They will deny everything and left you to rot in jail. Please don't do these, cheaters or election frauds are a crime punishable by law.
The reason behind why I wanted to share these problems above so that we can identify and never to make mistakes again. These might sound offensive to some but these are real problems and it is happening that we cannot deny them. Poverty and lack of information can be contributed to these problems but by sharing and helping other make a dignified vote. We might be able to put a stop this trend.
Although any political candidates can be deserving, voting without knowing the deeds of such politicians can still lead to an unjustified vote. Make an effort to do some research and know all the candidates better.
