10K and other monies.

Some intelligent people say Buhari and Osinbajo are buying votes with 10K to traders across the country. They add some spice to this narrative by saying Permanent voter's cards are also collected by the government before the recipients get their money. Some who are more intelligent have told us that only the PVC numbers were collected.

I don't know who can help me with some answers. Please how does collecting a PVC from a bought or potential APC voter guarantee APC votes in February 2019? Is it that the APC took these cards or the numbers as hostages? Do these voters not need these cards on election days to get accredited before the actual voting starts?

Can a potential voter simply walk to his polling unit on election morning without a card and expect to be accredited because his name is on the register? Are these intelligent people suggesting that some APC agents would be at each polling center all over the nation where voters have been allegedly bought with 10k to ensure that INEC officials allow them to get accredited to vote? Perhaps the APC is collecting cards now so that they can redistribute them across the country to all those who got 10k just before the election.

I don't understand how some Nigerians reason anymore especially those who got some education. It is these same folks who persist with this Sudan theory as well as other inanities. 

Nigeria overtook India as the country with the highest number of poor people and they rejoiced. They complain that people are hungry and jobs have been lost but when they hear about relatively small amounts given or loaned to young graduates, petty traders or vulnerable old people, they begin to convulse and abuse the government. These same people probably didn't complain when far fewer individuals were each awarded millions of Naira as part of Jonathan's YouWin program.

They insist that it's vote buying; some ask what ordinary ten thousand can buy or do. How many of them can readily dash another 10k without flinching? How many of them can borrow a small scale trader or artisan 10K and not suffer a nervous breakdown if the fellow is unable to pay or absconds? 

Some brainy folks try to avoid questioning the program directly, they instead question the timing. "Why didn't they start since 2015 or 2016, why now?" There is nothing that can impress these folks. Should the program have been delayed and be made a campaign promise for the next election? These brains would have mocked them silly. 

If 10K to traders is vote buying, then school feeding is vote buying. N-Power is definitely purchasing votes, so is the pensions and arrears paid to laid off workers like those from the defunct Nigerian airways, those from Biafra and any other group that had previously been forgotten. 

Unfortunately for some of our elites, there won't be any ONSA-Dasuki funds to share to the Afeniferes of this world and to religious mercenaries. Just 10K each is available if they don't mind. Osinbajo will be in a market near them, they can join the queue with their PVCs in hand if they don't think 10K is too small.
