YIPPEE! FIRST TIME IN MY OVER TWO DECADES PLUS ON EARTH THAT I WILL BE EXERCISING MY CIVIC RIGHT.


It happened on a Sunday morning after doing house chores I switched on my data and open my Twitter looking at post, i saw Inec (Independent National Electoral Commission) post about the distribution of pvc  (Permanent Voters Card) commencement at various unit, my urge for wanting to make sure my vote count, made me check if my pvc is in Lagos I enter my details on their site and Gbam it is in Lagos.

I then plan on visiting  the Inec office at the nearest local government which is at Abekoko bus-stop, Iyana- Ipaja, Lagos to pick up my voters card the next day. On Monday I tried as much as possible to tidy up and clear my table before 3:00 clock so that I can leave for the Inec office, on getting there I saw some people outside with forms and passport, i entered and went to the office where I visited the last time to fill transfer of my pvc card, i met the lady I greeted her and told her my reason for coming which is to pick up my pvc, she directed me to another office, i got there and met a guy I told him the same thing he collected the card with me and the transfer slip he ask me to wait outside, while waiting I saw one of the people outside with forms, i ask what it was for the lady reply that is for adhoc staff I.e those that would assist in carrying out the voting process, at one point I wanted to make enquiry further, i then remembered  that I wouldn’t be allowed to vote, i wanted my vote to count I wanted the change to begin with me so I waved it off, i was later called in i fill the registered and collected my card.

Yippe! First time in my 2 decades plus on earth that I would be exercising my civic right, below is a caption that I took with my card.

Have you ever hold a chicken before? Have you ever butcher a chicken? How do you butcher it? As a child am always scared of holding a live chicken, when it get closer to me am going to scream as much as I can because am always scared of it. Growing up I assist to remove the feathers of chicken after is being slaughtered but I have never hold a live one or slaughter it before. In the house once a live chicken is bought my second daddy or my daddy do the slaughtering,  fast forward to few days back my second mummy bought a live chicken and is getting late, she needs to prepare supper, she ask my cousin to go and butcher it but they couldn't  so she ask if I could do it, i told her i would try.
