EDITORIAL ; THE POLITICS OF DESPERATION

Already, the joke in development advocacy circles is that it is only Nigeria that has more people living in the arid sub Sahara Savannah belt over the coastal areas than all her neighbors.
A few months ago, Jega wanted to smuggle in more polling booths for the same arid environment.
Yet it is clear, that these states cannot meet their current adult suffrage quota without extensive underage registration as adult voters.

In 2011, I was shocked at the high number of underage kids allowed to vote in katsina town, but some of my fellow observers said I had not seen anything, that I should wait until we get to Kano.
This act of blatant over inflation is one of the reasons for the backwardness of the North, after all, if you are being given money to cater for ten when in actuality you have only four, it would get to a point you just keep everything to yourself, since those who engineered the fraud dare not ask questions.
My ten kobo.
