On Election and PVC in the SOUTH EAST - HELP!

The 2019 general election is fast approaching and it just two hundred and ninety something days to go and we have almost 80percent of unemployed youths in Nigeria and even the 18percent of the employed 20percent are frustrated and unsatisfied with their works. we hope to vote for a capable candidate that have the affairs of people at heart especially the Nigerian economy.  The youths have watched tirelessly as to hoew irrelevant the government has thought her to be. many a time, even the government bodies pronounce negative utterances about its youths and the pains therefore continues to intensify. Everybody knows how much of work and recognition the Nigerian youths have experienced worldwide even in a staggering and unconducive society. The entertainment and scientific sector can boast of this but you can obviously see her lapses in the political circle. youths are beginning to be active in politics even to the extent of creating a political party but one wonders if really these new parties and youthful candidates obviously have the interest of the masses at heart are are just parading themselves also for personal interests.

The youths have been generally advised to get their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) so as to be able to work together and vote in someone they think will move the country forward but as this exercise is going on, the PVC lapses in the South East can be as frustrating as anything.


When I went to the nearby local government area to renew my venue because of relocation, I stood on the queue for days because the officially would be obviously exhausted for the day and have to retire home. The INEC appointed bodies appointed for the issuing of PVC are not enough to cater for the parading crowds out there.


Obviously we have just the local government areas as the PVC centeres and most times, the journey to local governmet areas take hours unless you are lucky to live closeby, taking permission from work, leaves, closing your business place to get to the PVC centres can be frustrating. even as early as 6:00 am, there is an already waiting queue waiting for the same cause. sometimes, most times, one may not get lucky to obtain a voters card on the first day, it will mean taking another day off.

At the queue, people just come from nowhere and collect their PVCs within a twinkle of an eye , it makes youths to exchange words with the INEC officials and often times, it results to quarrels, fights and exchange of blows. people get tired and forget about this menance while others keep fate. Most times, one has to pay for food, drinks or tips to the collection officers before one can obtain a PVC or a TVC.

Why can't there be nearby places to ease these stress? I will obviously have to travel to vote. Last election was poor from the Eastern anle, we are probably the highest in record trying to get a PVC, very soon the exercise will be over but if more centers are created, virtually every youth will be available to cast their votes and bring about a credible election. I hope this message gets o someone who can do something about this cause.I wonder what will be the fate of Nigerians in Diaspora, trying to come home to exercise their franchise.

Happy Weekend all, remeber to get your PVC as we hope they extend its collections even at wekends.
