D-day is upon Nigerians to decide who would be their next president, vice president, members of the senate and house of representatives; Nollywood actress, Juliet Ibrahim has taken to social media to share a word of advice with Nigerians.

Juliet who is of Lebanese, Ghanaian and Liberian descent shared the story of how she grew up and the importance of electing a good leader.

“Fellow Nigerian brothers and sisters, As you all go out today and Vote for The Best Candidate I thought I’d share some words of encouragement with you.

“As a child, I grew up in 4 different countries and due to unfortunate circumstances, my family and I had to relocate thrice. I grew up and lived as a refugee in each of these countries.

“I experienced 3 civil wars. I witnessed my parents, relatives being and harassed right before my eyes. These are moments I still remember vividly and I relive these memories every election or during any political unrest. I still get traumatized by the mere sound of fireworks. I do not wish this upon anyone so I say to you brothers and sisters that violence is NEVER the answer.

“Please Go out and Vote PEACEFULLY for The Best Candidate. VOTE FOR SUCCESS, VOTE FOR GROWTH, VOTE FOR PEACE, VOTE FOR MENTAL STABILITY, VOTE for A GREAT LEADER with VISION,VOTE for Consistency. VOTE for a Nigeria your kids would be proud to be born and live in. VOTE FOR your candidate of choice

“Dear Nigerians, this is not the time to sit on The Fence. Your choice TODAY would determine the state of Nigeria in years to
come. Nigeria is a great country, We all see this, We all know it.

“You shouldn’t allow Corruption, Mediocrity, Lack of Empathy, Anarchy, Bigotry, Violence, Instability, and Tribalism to continue to be the order of the day. This is a moment in history because the World is watching so please stand in this together and do th e Right Thing. Do not be divided BECAUSE your future lies in your hands.
