Ha ha! But...Enthusiasm at minus 20 degrees celsius? Ha ha! But yes there is the danger of taking for granted that which many countries in Africa like Nigeria are dying for and have barely experienced: a fair unviolent vote. <br />So where obtainable without corruption, why not utilize people's sacrifices over time? I have heard some South Africans express disenchatmennt with the political regime presently in place in SA, but I've said to them that apathy will be the aparthied that maintains society's ills.DLawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-59426327451849879552012-05-04T12:27:46.451-07:002012-05-04T12:27:46.451-07:00Thanks a lot, Naija4life.

You didn't know who the candidates were! It's funny but true about local elections - the politicians aren't very visible are they?<br /><br />We all need to wade in to elections and make our vote count.Oluchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688698198937659375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-79532179019208523372012-05-04T10:43:42.743-07:002012-05-04T10:43:42.743-07:00Very good write-up as always.

I don't live in London but I follow UK politics, watched most of the debates for the mayoral election and it was bereft of issues but full of blame and mudslinging.<br /><br />However, I still feel politics is far too important to be left alone to politicians. But saying that, I didn't vote this time around in my local election which was unusual for me, mainly down to the fact I didn't know who the candidates were!Naija4Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535768349773752809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-4725992080719540302012-05-04T08:52:33.686-07:002012-05-04T08:52:33.686-07:00I agree with you Myne.
