Image
  For many years, voter education in Nigeria has largely focused on informing citizens about how to register for the Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC), how to collect it, and how to mobilize voters to come out on election day.

Many great men and women who made exploits have had all they did reduced to names… no details. People use the inventions of others without even knowing the inventors’ names.
