If we've established that just under half of the voting age population is under 30, and we also assume that they make up the bulk of the nonvoting adult population, this means converting them into voters is Nigeria's political Holy Grail.
Can it be done? I think so.
I think so.
They are both fighting over who gets a bigger share of an electoral pie that has been shrinking for 15 years. Neither of them has bothered to try and expand the pie by reaching out to newer voters who don't respond to their same old ways of doing things.
This is an opportunity.
For all the money that APC/PDP constantly brag about having, their ultimate weakness which they are afraid of acknowledging even to each other is this:
THEY ARE UNDERGOING DEMOGRAPHIC DEATH.
That is why the number of overall active voters has been dropping steadily since 2007.
By the way, none of this is jam talk. It's simple math. Nigeria's median age is 18.1, and only 46% of the population is over 18. Of that 46%, just under half are aged 18-29.
Which means that whoever turns this demographic into his constituency will win elections for fun.
Time and resources should not be wasted on such unteachable, high-inertia voters who are also typically older and filled with petty egos and ethnic identitarian nonsense.
Leave them for APC (or PDP if it wants to try its luck unsuccessfully again).
Focus resources on prospects.
There are people from the pre-1999 demographic who honestly don't KNOW what a government is.
Some of them understand "government" as the literal translation of the Yoruba word "Ijoba" (Domain of the king), and this colours their entire understanding of democratic processes.
People born after 1999 would be my core targets if I were Peter Obi. A lot of people born and raised in the military era wouldn't know what democracy is if it smacked them in the face.
He should focus on winnable votes and ignore lost voters. They are lost and that's fine.
A note of warning now is that all the South West leaders must work closely so that PDP dont lose Osun State again because the party has the highest chance of winning as Adeleke is very popular amongst the people.
PDP was set up to fail in Ekiti from the Beginning - Mutiu Alao
Here is why!
Remember that there were members of PDP's Bisi Kolawole campaign council that were resigning from the campaign, complaining of the high handedness of the Former Governor of Ekiti, Dr. Ayo Fayose.
If you want your success to be sustained & your failures to be short-lived, marry a woman that never crossed the red lines & stood with you.
Even if she's not your "spec", marry her & make her the queen of your kingdom.
The most beautiful women still get cheated on.
End.

Then I messaged a friend who is a Make Up artiste in Lagos, asked about how much is a quick Make up on the Island on Lagos
She was can be up to 10K or more
If you can make your face 10K every night for sex runs..in 30 days that's 300K...what? that's good money for something
Then a Hypothetical situation got into my head
If you offered some of these ladies employment ..will they quit prostitution and take the employment?
Or is there an Elite Status Quo association with prostitution in Lagos ?
I got to think about it is it that there isn't enough employment in a place like Lagos or some people just don't want to work but want to flaunt pictures of themselves in expensive places, clubs while being prostituting themselves & a cycle
I could relate to STDs rise in Lagos
There's a Pandemic of Prostitution among young women in Lagos
I & a friend were driving streets of Lekki at night, you need to see tons of beautiful women, heavily made up,lined up like ants on the street waiting for men to pick them up
Women who could work. Was so sad to see
