Stacey Abrams Is in Nigeria to Oversee Their Elections
Human Events, Feb 28, 2023

Results are coming in after Nigeria's elections on Saturday, and as all three of the main parties in that nation are taking issues with the way elections and tallies are done, twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams is on hand, for some reason.

Abrams is with the National Democratic Institute "on a mission to observe elections and encourage voter participation," ZeroHedge reports, which is a "diplomatic initiative." NDI focuses on the youth vote, something Abrams has also pressed in her home state of Georgia.

She gave an interview from the capital city of Abuja about overseeing those elections and visiting polling places. Human Rights Watch said that a "thick veil of violence" surrounded Nigeria's elections.

"I would say that despite a slow start," Abrams told a reporter curious to know what she's seen at polling places on Saturday, "with the [violence], we have seen orderly lines, we have seen long lines, signaling strong enthusiasm. But we've also seen a great deal of cooperation and a very peaceful conversation among voters. They want to be heard, and they are willing to stand in line and have patience, because they know that's their path to progress."

A national apology is owed to everyday Nigerians for foisting that one on them.

The Nigerian election is in total chaos.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

She better stay out of the wild.  I hear poachers like big game.  She could be mistaken or an Elephant or Hippopotamus out grazing.

She could feed a pride for a week, maybe two.

Any chatter about the military interfering?  They have before.

The Nigerian Prince, who is sending me 6 million dollars, doesn't dress like that.
