On this fateful day 20th November, I Miss Agidi Shetu Rose who was born into the family of late Asp. Barr. and Mrs Ameri Agidi Ashige. Lucky me I belong to states, maternally I'm of Jaba extraction from Kaduna State, while paternally I'm a Koro babe from Ashige,  Lafia L. G. A. of Nasarawa state. I had my nursery, primary and secondary education all in Jos, Plateau state; Plateau Urban Nursery school,  Salama Private school and GSS Laranto respectively. In my quest to further my education, even with the demise of our Dad in 2009, I never relented in my oars. I got admission into Nasarawa State College of Education, where I studied hard until I had my NCE in English French.  Thereafter, I proceeded to Nasarawa State University for my degree programme in French Language.

The following conversation transpired between myself and a man: Man: Which party are you voting for?  Me: ....... Party (party name withheld) Man: Why now? Vote for my party and I will give you 10,000 (Ten Thousand Naira) Me: I don't need it, so this is what your so called party has been doing? I doubt if most of us are ready to have that country (Nigeria) we dreamt of, when we still have most party leaders giving you peanuts to return to power. Not for your good but for them to have bags of money saved for themselves and for their unborn generations. They give you 10,000, bag of rice, salt, onions, wheel barrow, name them...and you think they are doing you well? They are giving you what is yours and snatching your future away from you for their families. How much do you care and how ready are you in supporting the Nigeria of your dreams? How ready are you to positively contribute your quota in having the Nigeria of your dreams? This is the onl...
