It is called ELECTION because the process gives the people the opportunity and rights rooted in birth or naturalization to ELECT a candidate of their choice. What you are seeing in the video that is playing below (which you must have already seen a thousand times), does not represent that process of expression. And there are hundreds of similar videos elsewhere in the social media that chronicle that show of shame on election day. In addition, seeing pictures of infants, lining up to vote, and actually voting, plus the calculated and selective vandalization of ballot boxes and harassment of eligible voters at targeted pooling units (gerrymandering), which expectedly culminated in massive cancelation of vote counts by INEC, I cannot in all seriousness call it a free and fair election. It is a farce, it is egregious, and it is a fraud. If it is a fraud, it is criminal, and not acceptable. We are better than the carnage and the bloodshed that took place in Lagos, Enugu, and Port Harcourt on the day of the Presidential election. If not now, I don't know when. Indeed, we want to grow our democracy, but what we have witnessed in the past few days do not represent growth or showcase improvements in our electoral process. It is not about APC or PDP. It is not about the candidates. It is about democracy and unhindered access to the Ballot Box that will credible outcome.

This INEC is very incompetent, intact, it is a SCAM. Now I know why some of my Buharists friends always say they must win,that voting doesn't matter but the final announcements.
WHAT A SHAME!
