Vote Peter Obi in the next election. Youths stop selling your future.

Peter Obi is the only right choice.

It is better to "waste" your vote on Peter Obi than vote any of these 2 criminals who had active arrest warrants by US government.

Vote Peter Obi.

Even in the USA wey them dey call as an example of a successful diverse nation, power is heavily decentralized. State govts have a lot of autonomy.

Look at Belgium and the way it is structured. That's exactly how Nigeria should be. Yugoslavia was balkanised and heaven did not fall.

When you talk of decentralization of powers, that really doesn't apply here, because Texas alone is bigger than Nigeria and Texas is a single state of its own.

Less than 3 hours after we argued about the bayelsa numbers on this thread, this tweet went viral on Twitter.

You really can't tell me this thread is not the most popular thread on nairaland.

We don't often see eye to eye but you've been doing yeoman's work lately.

Don't relent. In the face of hopelessness we'll do our bit. While those who can japa will go for it.
Planning to leave and advocating for good governance are not mutually exclusive.

Really?? Could have sworn you're my mannest man here. we never quarrel before na.

Anyways, thanks for the acknowledgement, I appreciate.

I am a Nigerian in Nigeria and I have sworn to do my part to get it right.

I can actually boast of making at least 46 people who I know personally, go and register for PVC for the very first time. Neighbors, colleagues, relatives and friends. All the WhatsApp groups I'm in, I've made all of them see the need to vote for the very first time.
I'm actually proud of my own efforts too.
A whole lot of people are just soo apathetical to voting, I'm really glad I've done my own small part in changing many minds towards this. Nobody would fix our country for us, it's in our hands.

Somalia is a one religion, one race, one tribe country.
South Sudan split away and devolved into civil war.
The idea that a nation of one race or tribe or religion will be successful is a pipe dream
Doubly ironic when so many successful Western nations are now literally melting pots

I'm truly wondering where this idea that singular tribal countries govern themselves better.

Historically, economically powerful cities have been one where people of different tribes and origin conglomerate or meet each other.

Port towns, trading routes etc. These were places that would grow to be the most economically viable settlement.
Nigeria needs to get her leadership right. If we become more politically conscious as a group, we would elect the right people.

NinjaXmetahuman:
it's never gonna happen.

It hasn't happened in the last 100 years. Infact, it got worse.
Nigeria is someone's messed up project. Like Frankenstein.
A Frankenstein is never gonna be a human.

Ninja how are we going to get it right with our leadership problems when enlightened brethren like you are reluctant to engage in the democratic process?

popizaino:
Your excuse that the white were under developing you would have been geniune if Malaysia, Indonesia,Singapore and other Asian tigers were not once a colony before.

Very good points.
We really need to stop blaming the whites for our own country's problem. We have had enough time to forge our own path but we were simply not awaken to our rights to demand good leadership.

Leadership is truly our problem. But it has to be said that us having bad leadership is a symptom of our collective mind diseases which are;

Tribalism
Religiosity and spiritualism.
Religious bigotry.
Ethnic jingoism
Sectarianism and mindless chauvinism.

These problems have nothing to do with the whites anymore. It's solely in our hands.

China has soo many ethnic groups within it and they are now the second richest country in the world.
India has soo many ethnic groups within it and they are the 5th richest country in the world.
Russia also has multiple ethnic groups within it and they're a world military power.

Disintegration IS NOT the solution to our problem.
