Nigerian voters' views: Bayo

Bayo Ashola, 25, runs his own small communications business in Bauchi, in north-eastern Nigeria.

Bayo wants a government that can ensure education is affordable

I finished university in 2005 and since then I have not been able to get a job.

Instead, I have had to open my own small communications business.

It is very difficult.

You finish university and your family expect you to find a good job.

Your parents are not working, the younger ones are depending on your earnings to finance their education... and yet you cannot find work.

We need a government that can look into this.

And even when you are in education - the facilities are not there and you do not receive teaching at the level you should.

You go into school expecting to stay four years to be able to complete your degree but then you end up having to stay six, even seven years because facilites and human resources are insufficient. How can one afford to be a student for that long?

Nigeria needs a government that can ensure education is affordable and one which will give us the required facilities. Not just build schools - they are just structures. What is important is what is inside - human resources, materials and so on.

When Obasanjo became president he said that there will be light, power, pipe-borne water, healthcare, jobs...

But there still isn't.

We don't enjoy such facilities.

People are yearning for change. We trust in God and hope that something good will come out of this election.
