I have a dream that one day we will have " One man/woman, One party". I have a dream that one day everybody will vote for himself/herself"...

@Niyeck: If everybody vote for himself/herself, then there would be no central leader and everybody automatically become leaders. Lol. Are you sure this can happen in a country like Nigeria? LOL. @Nana; 35 is also too much. To me, 5 political parties is OKAY. @Job: I believe one of their agenders is provision of food. LOL. @Philip: The funniest to me is: All Blending Party. ABP. Hahahahahaha
