Exorbitant Nomination Fees Shut Out the Poor   –When will politics become a service, not a business?   DEMOCRACY FOR SALE IN NIGERIA ? The exorbitant nomination form fees are suffocating Nigeria's youth. ₦200m for president, ₦100m for senator, ₦70m for house of rep, ₦20m for House of Assembly – who's winning?
