6 Reasons Why Nigerian Politics Is STILL A Dirty Game by Crownadex(m): 11:13am On Apr 26, 2017
Now let us review why many people consider Nigeria politics a dirty game .

1. HIGH - PROFILE POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS

* for many Nigerians , names like Harry Marshal , Chuba Okadigbo, Funsho Williams, Bola Ige , and many other victims of a political killings will forever remain in their memory.
These men were because "power that be" considered them a major political threat , hence , the need to eliminate them before .
No need to discussing how these men were murdered in cold blood because we all know the stories behind their deaths.
So, for many Nigerians who really know the precious value of human life , they believe that political ambitions that never last forever are not worth destroying the life of a fellow man .

Therefore , based on these politically motivated killing they consider Nigerian politics a dirty game


2. FETISH PRACTICES

* It is rather worrisome that Nigerian politicians who are devout Muslims and Christians could go to deities to swear as a proof of unwavering loyalty to a benefactor or as a tool to eliminate his/her perceived enemies.
Yes it is not enough to talk about these things as secrets as we have seen them play out right in public glare in the past . Christian politicians in the quest to acquire political position or win elections go before a deity to swear and meet native doctors to prepare one charms.

Some politicians secretly make human sacrifices as instructed by native doctors because they want to win an election.
Many Nigerian therefore consider Nigerian politics, a dirty game because of these fetish practices inherent in the game.

3. LIES AND DECEITS

* In Nigerian politics, it is often seen where many political leaders tell unbelievable lies to win people's vites .
Many pundits will not blame politicians anyway because, for them, that is the best way to win people's confidence and votes

4. CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

* Nigerian politician employ all possible evil means to win election including destroying the good reputation of their opponents and plotting evil intrigue against him/her

5. BALLOT BOX SNATCHING AND THUGGERY

* It has become normal in many parts of Nigeria for ballot boxes to be snatched by rented thugs , taken to unknown locations and stuffed with fake ballot papers in favour of particular time and date

6. CORRUPTION

* This insatiable nature of man has led him to running people's trust and confidence , it took him years to build . Nigerians hardly associate politicians with good qualities .

So corruption is the major reason why many Nigerians think politics is a dirty game


Nigeria politics is a dirty game and we really need to clean it up in future , but to do that


Over to you

&

The question is that

Can Nigeria politician make heaven
OR
Anybody who wish to make heaven should stay away from Nigeria politics ?
