Common Sense

They may have stolen our Common Wealth, they cannot steal our Common Sense. In a sane democratic setting, the government should fear the people (electorates), but the otherwise is obtainable in Nigeria. If you must canvass for people's votes, you must show them why you should earn it. No excuse whatsoever is justifiable by anyone to circumvent being present to sell its manifestoes in a debate. Debate helps to calibrate the amount of information, technical know-how, and solutions a candidate has to the socio-economic hardship that stares people in the face. Evading or missing out in a debate not only shows intellectually and political will dryness of the candidate and by extension his moribund supporters, but it also connotes a deliberate disdainful, despicable, contemptuous, and derogatory attitude to the people you want to govern. If a candidate cannot oblige and honor the call of the populace for a debate, what's the probability that the candidate will listen to the yearnings of his people after emergence. Anyways, this is Nigeria where debates don't win elections. After all, more than 40% of the electorates reside in rural areas deprived of electricity and education, how would they get to watch or understand the grammar of the debate. Do you not see why the government wants to make education unaffordable! I do insist, our governments have not only created the poverty of need, but also the poverty of the mind. That's why it's very easy to buy some people's future for just 5k. That's why you can still find some graduates who know the truth, see the truth but still believing the lies..... poverty of the mind. Common sense is indeed not common. Tell them, "They can deceive some people all the time, can deceive all the people sometimes, but they cannot deceive all the people all the time" What does it profit a man who gives his mandate to "No Future Ambition" politician?
You just need a common sense to answer this!
