Sara N. Omalicha has highlighted other problems of Nigeria apart from politicians.

1. Secessionists are not the problem of Nigeria

2. Violent protesters are not the problem of Nigeria

3. Traffic offenders are not the problem of Nigeria

4. Yahoo boys are not the problem of Nigeria

5. Those who deface & destroy state properties are not the problem of Nigeria

6. Those who gives bribe to all security agents are not the problem of Nigeria

7. Those who must be paid to vote a candidate are not the problem of Nigeria

8. Smugglers are not the problem of Nigeria

9. Those establishing and writing exams in special centers are not the problem of Nigeria

10. Those who indulge in sex for marks are not the problem of Nigeria

11. Contractors doing shabby or even Uncompleted jobs are not the problem of Nigeria

12. Civil servants with zero integrity and no commitment to serving the Nation are not the problem of Nigeria

13. Gov’t Teachers/Doctors/Nurses coming to job at will with very low productivity are not the problem of Nigeria

14. Drivers/Conductors/Pedestrians throwing refuse on the streets they know nobody sweeps are not the problem of Nigeria

15. Cultist are not the problem of Nigeria

One thing I want us all to know is this; you can’t ever build a sane country where all mentioned above are seen as normal. Only in this country do we pass judgment on people base on tribal and religious sentiments.

If Nigeria must be great, we MUST all play our parts to make it work. Don’t ever say your sin means nothing & sure have no effect on the country-it does. We must learn to live a life of principle, a life where we can easily correct our friends & families around us when they do wrong.

You can’t say you love this country & attribute all its problems & failures to the Gov’t. NO! We are a part & parcel of why this country is where it is today & only when we shun MANY, if not all of those bad vices that we will start to see a new Nigeria.

The constitution will not change people. The constitution no matter how robust it is, will never work when people of integrity are not enforcing it. Where are those people going to come from? Same populace who doesn’t see anything wrong with giving or taking bribe,
& we expect them to get there & become St. Peter or Mary?

We all have a responsibility, we have a duty owed to this country. If the leaders wants it to fail, will you also go so low to see it fail? We say politicians rigs election, do they rig it without the help of same populace crying “bad governance”?

We should admit we have corruption embedded in a large population of us, because, only through that admittance we can charter a new course on how to change the narratives.

I feel bad sometimes thinking about this great Nation. So many forces against it but they don’t even see their actions as unpatriotic. A journalist is against a Gov’t because of lack of envelope, but as a regular citizen watching or reading the news everyday,
you see it as doing his/her job while he/she throws up sentiments only to gradually cajoled you into turning yourself against your country all because of his personal problem.
The biggest LIE anyone will ever tell you in your life is when they tell you ONLY the Gov’t is our problem. We have a deep rooted problem that will take the effort of Parents, Schools, Church & the Gov’t to effect change.

a. A parent who doesn’t believe in Nigeria will never groom a patriotic citizen.

b. A parent who love corruption and cutting corners will always end up having a child that sees “Fraud” as Hustle.

c. A parent who throws dirt from the window of his/her car is gradually teaching the children to do same.

d. A parent who sees political office as a means to amass wealth will never see anything wrong with his children ripping their constituents, Local Gov’t, State or even the National treasury off.

But in my Nigeria today, even Parents wants us to believe these politicians & corrupt officials suddenly became greedy the moment they took office. It seems the whole of Nigeria is devoid of crime or corruption amongst the populace, except the politicians.

Such a wonderful people that only politicians are just their problem. Nigeria may God deliver us from people who thinks like this. If you fail as a parent, just know you’re failing Nigeria because of the next nuisance you’ll be creating.

Na Papa & Mama born Invictus Obi, Hushpuppi & many of the Nigerian Youths languishing in jail in different countries for FRAUD & DRUG related crimes. They have families & friends, but none are politicians & only politicians are our problem.

I rest my case!

Nigeria problem has a historical background!!

Which tribe started tribalism?? Which tribe tried to conquer Nigeria?? Which tribe Annexed Nigeria by introducing unitary system inorder to take full control??

The only reasons Azikiwe orchestrated a coup against the then govt of Tafa Belewa was because the COR region was set to be carved out from the then defunct eastern region. And with the lure of oil money at stake, Azikiwe ordered his thugs in he army to overthrow the govt and from there roll out an Igbo dictatorship under a powerful central govt.

Igbos will deny this but Decree 34 was the deadly blow that killed regionalism, put an end to COR region and gave birth to the exploitative centrist govt.

Have you asked why Ojukwu supported the abolition of regional governance and forced unification under Ironsi's Igbo dictatorship but later began clamouring for a return to regionalism 5mths later in Aburi?

Tell an Igbo man as a Niger Deltan that you agree with Nigeria's dissolution but will rather have a separate nation for the Niger Delta and watch him insult you and say "is Niger Delta a tribe"?

After the successful Igbo coup, Adaka Boro led a revolt to leave Nigeria entirely . Who clamped down on that secessionist movement? The Igbos under Ironsi with Ojukwu commanding the military offensive.
You are not in any way victims of Nigeria but the main arch villains.

70% of igbos allow emotions be cloud them rather than actual facts. Even when the know the truth emotion get the best of them!!

Only the jallos have the intellectual capacity to counter the igbos in Africa...

They also want to be us... They want to dominate too. They want the power too.

They love superiority.... But only the Fulanis are stoping them!!

I used to tell my Dad....That one Nigeria is a logical fallacy, a myth and a folktale.

The only solution is to come together and end Nigeria!!!

If we fail to divide this country now... The HausaFulanis you hate and despise are getting stronger than ever before!!!

The New Generation of Hausa/Fulanis are going to be brutal on the south when we finally find ourselves in the corridor of power!!

Because we are more intelligent, more sophisticated and more smarter than our parents... And not too religious!!

We have no shortage of rugged intelligent souls!!

So it's better for all the igbos to start supporting Nnamdi kanu now...

Cos with the level of this hatred you've displayed...if Nigeria fail to divide!!!

Hmmmm, Da magana.....

Buhari is the problem

But Buhari has always been a problem to the country ... Both as military general and elected reformed general

After writing your poems, the reality remains that a house built on a faulty foundation cannot stand for long.

Interesting

So politicians have not only been our problems?

If you don't know, now you know

Instead of this long epistle
Here are my 3 points for Nigeria to have a future.


Need for good and fair governance
Need for population control
Need to stop being overreligious.

All the three points I mentioned are interlinked.

Maxymilliano:
But Buhari has always been a problem to the country ... Both as military general and elected reformed general

Look at his face, this man is pure evil

I disagree....


All she listed here can be classified as societal ills which is not alien to Nigeria.... go to USA there are gangsterism , we saw violent Trump supporters that invaded the Whitehouse, traffic offenders, go to Spain you can find Catalan people agitating for referendum....

Dis one brain dey pain am

Just want trend.

Who is this one

Asides the obvious problem of leadership, feminists are the biggest problem in today's Nigeria.

They are the reason more women are cheating, more homes are broken, more single girls are single and more venereal diseases are spreading.

This is not true. Exactly what the politicians want us to think so that we won't all march on the street and chase them away.
.
There is always potential for corruption and backwardness in all society. But it's the 100% duty of a government to ensure the country has a national culture and value that lead to progress and order. And there's a strategic way every successful country does that
.
At independence, it was the leaders who effected the whole process, They are 100% responsible in the direction our country took, because they are on the driving seat driving it where they wish.
.
To drive a society to a sane, prosperous end, governance comes first before followership. Governance and leadership shows the way the followers should follow...through:

1. Visionary and exemplary leadership

2. Strong justice system that will punish crimes and corruption at all times.

3. Purpose oriented education designed to mould citizens from young to adult about patriotism, dignity of labor, hardwork, accountability and all manners of values and interests of life.
.
4. Solid policy with guaranteed enforcement process.
.
5. Social and economic equity that put the welfare of citizens in front burner.

6. Value for talents, excellence and integrity, while promoting and protecting the dignity of labour
.
7. Strong security system that respect due process and rule of law that the citizen can trust at any given time...
.
Now tell me, is it the common man that will ensure all this parameters are functioning in a society or the institutions of governance? Our politicians failed woefully in that regard. So don't expect the followers to not fail.
.
The death of a society is from top to bottom, it is never bottom to top. Until u overhaul the present diseased leaders, the whole society will never be sane because there's incentive for Corruption and people get away with it.
.
When the foundation is rotten, when the head is diseased, what happens to other part of the body? The problem of a madman is the head not his mouth or leg...cure his brain and see.

The head of a society determines the path, culture, institutions, and future of that society.
.
Stop blaming the common man. Corruption was enshrined from the top, diffused to everyone, and was never checked or prevented. The common man's reaction to it is a fall out, not the main cause of the problem
The masses is like a flock of sheep that can be led anywhere.
China changed in less than 20 years of a visionary leadership. They had same citizens but a changed leadership. Today they are superpower.

let me add mine

God bless her immensely!

The number one problem of Nigeria today is truth and dishonesty and we all contribute to this.

Nah eh

nothing but the truth

As it is at this moment no average Nigerian loves the country because of these lifelessness

You can only be patriotic when the leaders are serious with the business they are sent to do.

And when they are all serious all you mentioned will be addressed accordingly!

@Op! I hope you didn't fall into the category of those problem too?

issoright

Hmmm

Most Nigerians don't want to change they only want somebody to change the country for them

It is well

BUHARI IS NIGERIA'S MAIN PROBLEM!

HIS STUPID USELESS SUPPORTERS ARE ALSO NIGERIA'S PROBLEM.

ARGUE WITH YOUR PRIVATE PART!!!

She told no lie.

You are right. Sometimes I don't even know the essence of being religious in this country. We are doing the opposite of what the religions portray. Everything is nothing but eye service. Nigeria is so religious and morally bankrupt.

Our major problem is our mind set. An average Nigerian will be thinking of how to make it quickly without even minding duping everyone around.

But as the problems wey dey this country now kon strong kakaraka like Zuma rock, na Buhari cause am back to back.
