BREAKING: United States Finally Instructs Nigerians On Who To Vote For In The 2019 Historic Elections

Whitephilip blog
Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the United States, US, Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington,
has urged Nigerians not to vote based on promises, but on the record of those making the promises.
Symington said this in a video, while wishing Nigerians a Merry Christmas.
He urged Nigerians to remember that their future is in their hands, and no foreign power can solve their problems, but all solutions can only come from within.
The US Ambassador said: “As you go into 2019, you will be facing a new round of elections. What you do in those elections would be crucial not just for you, but for all of us. And as you get ready, I ask you to think of three things.
“First, charge your potential Leaders with this notion: Say not just what you say you will do for the country, but what have you already done. Second, it is incredibly important that you recognise that in a democracy, it is you who gets to make the decision.”
Symington urged Nigerians to guard their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, and not sell them.
The US envoy, urged Nigerians to report any anomalies on the election day, adding that, the task of improving democracy is a collective one.
He stated: “On election day and every day, the citizens of Nigeria are the ones that lead this country, so take good care of your voters cards, make sure no one convinces you to either give it to them, or sell it to them on election day.
“I hope you will vote, and I hope you will vote for people who do not just say the right thing, but people who you are convinced based on their records, will do the right thing for you and for others.”
Symington praised the many Nigerians, who have in one way or the other contributed to the development of the nation.
He specifically praised the 83-year-old Imam of Nghar village, Gashish District, in the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Alhaji Abdullahi Abubakar, who saved about 300 persons, on June 24, when suspected herdsmen invaded about 15 communities, in the Barkin Ladi LGA, killing over 200 persons.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
