WHAT DO WE REALLY VOTE FOR? 'SILENCE'

This simple question got me thinking lately. I needed to get to the root of the political plague in modern day Nigeria. Naturally blessed with riches beyond measures, comfortably sitting on major world's resources, we have continued to live in poverty and as ethnic minorities in foreign nations.

So when we go to cast our votes every four years, what are we voting for? The terrible answer is "Nothing". We vote for hoax promises of infrastructure and material gains rather than a 'way of human existence' or an 'ideology of life in itself'. We are blackmailed into false promises of infrastructural development, political positions and provisions of the basic necessities of life.
