Election 2012: What i saw!

Election 2012: What I Saw! I must tell you from the onset that the people i have met and interacted with as part of my job in the lead up to the 2012 Election are generally hopeful for a better future and are willing to do their bits. December 7 came and Oh My God, what a beauty to behold? as an NCCE observer, i had the rare privilege of staying close to the polls and watching the conduct of the electorates. The hearty chats, the respect for order, respect for the aged and the sick, and most importantly the tolerance shown; bear in mind majority of these persons knew where their friends and neighbours votes would go, yet they shared smiles with another. Even though am confident in saying that my outfit did so much to ensure people understood the process of voting, the Election day proper taught me the difficulty people have in appreciating some of the basic rules. I therefore request that the NCCE be provided the room to do on the spot voter education on thumbprinting, among others, it is not that easy for people i must tell you. I believe you agree with me that Elections are not the most important aspect of Democracy, but rather how the Democratic process could be used to deliver Development to the people. I urge that this remains the focus, so that when we go back to the polls the next time round, we would have had our lives improved because of Democracy. Merry Christmas to you all, and i pray the new year gives our Democracy some more impetus!

No One Knows Tommorow

can man really be so careful, life seems to be taking its own course and all we do is our bits, nothing more. it hurts so much to have one's dreams and hopes totally shuttered, uncertainty is so certain, am talking about the Connecticut shooting and it hurts so bad!
