The below stated numbers estimated demographics of Nigeria for the year 2010 according the 2009 census.
0–14 years: 41.5% (male 31,624,050/female 30,242,637)
15–64 years: 55.5% (male 42,240,641/female 40,566,672)
65 years and over: 3.1% (male 2,211,840/female 2,343,250) (2010 est.)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Nigeria)
From this statistics, we can infer that just a little over 80 Million Nigerians fall in the 15–64 years age bracket, and about 5 Million Nigerians 65 years and over. I will assume that Nigerians within the 15–18 years age bracket make up about 10% of the 15–64 years age bracket, leaving us with 72 Million. In all we have 77 Million Nigerians that can vote.
Inec Nigeria has news on their website that says over 73 Million Nigerians registered (http://www.inecnigeria.org/a-release-certified-voters%E2%80%99-register-2011/)
How possible is this? Do a quick survey around you check how many Nigerians Registered........
This is very sad. What would you do about it? what would you do about your future? what would you do about the future of you children. What would you do?
