Hello guys ,
Reasons to have a peaceful election (Graphic Photos Inclusive) by Lady.
In many countries, election period is usually filled with lots of propaganda and tension. Nigeria is no exception. We have read and seen pictures of dead people or those injured during election campaign.
That's why I'm advocating for a peacefull election. Vote in peace bearing in mind that violence has dire consequences.Effects of violence
1. DeathWithout doubt, violence results in loss of life and serious injuries, which might leave you handicapped.
2. Loss of propertyCriminals get the opportunity to loot because no one will sue them for theft.
3. RapeSome people take advantage of women and rape them. They know that no one will punish them for breaking the law. The victim might be your mother, sister, wife, daughter, cousin, friend or neighbour.
4. Economic recession or downfallInvestors will flee and no one will want to invest in an insecure country for fear of loss of their money.
5. Interference with educationChildren will not go to school when there is violence.
6. Loss of jobsIf some companies shut down due to violence, they will have to sack their employees.
7. Emergency of militia groupsWhen there is no government, or the government is not stable, there is a possibility of individuals who are hungry for power or those who want to protect their territory/people emerging. These groups are a threat to society and people suffer in their hands.
8. Famine/hungerDuring violence, people flee for their lives.
There is usually no one to farm so even after the violence is over, sometimes there is lack of food.In addition, during violence there is scarcity of food and water. People die due to hunger.How to prevent violence
1. Talk to your family members, especially the male.
If you know they are likely to engage in violence, plead with them not to
.2. After voting go back home. That will minimise chances of you meeting or arguing with someone else about a particular candidate.
3. Don't drink so that you remain sober. You will make better judgement and decisions when sober.Feel free to add yours.Pics source:
