Politics › Re: An Open Letter To The Nigerian Transgenerational Leader Who Has Not Yet Arrived by helinues: 7:10pm On May 11 |
DrMB: This is the most honest structural observation in this entire conversation. And it deserves a precise response rather than inspiration. You are correct. The cost of Nigerian electoral politics is not accidental. It is architectural. The N10 billion state election cost is not simply corruption; it is a structural barrier specifically designed to ensure that only those already integrated into the extraction architecture can afford to contest. It is the cage protecting itself.
A system that makes the cost of entry into governance equivalent to the net worth of its most capable potential reformers is not a democracy with a corruption problem. It is a filtered access system with democratic aesthetics.
But here is what history says: Kagame, Meles, Park, and Deng did not arrive through the system the incumbent architecture designed for them. They appeared in the worst of times; post-genocide, post-famine, post-war, post-revolution, when the old system had exhausted itself and the institutional vacuum created the opening. The path to transformational leadership has rarely been the comfortable path. It has been the necessary one.
Nigeria is not yet at that point of total institutional exhaustion. Which means the democratic path remains available, but only if the reformer's first institutional construction project is the electoral architecture itself. Campaign finance reform. Party funding transparency. Electoral cost reduction. These are not secondary concerns. They are the precondition for everything else.
And here is what history also says without exception: regardless of how impossible the conditions, the leader always emerges anyway. Kagame emerged from a refugee camp. Deng survived two political purges before he rebuilt China. Meles organised from the mountains of Tigray with no resources and no international recognition. Khama inherited one of the poorest countries on earth with no institutions and no revenue. The conditions were never favourable. The leader came anyway. Because the leader is not produced by favourable conditions. The leader is produced by the intersection of preparation and necessity.
The cage that makes entry expensive is still a cage. And dismantling it is part of the construction work. But the leader who is coming will not be stopped by the cost. The local government system is not working in Nigeria, we should switch to district. Development always start from the grassroot. Road C is a local government road, responsibility like the street roads, but average Nigerians are nor aware not to talk of holding the LG chairmen and councillor responsible whenever they are failing on their duty |

There are so many Nigerians that fit your description but the issue is they can't even venture into politics as they can't win.
If states election can be costing on average of N10bn, which average business man/rich man will invest such amount in 50/50 outcome when your life might even be at risk |

HacheNoire: Good one!
Anambra making a bold move!
Lagos and Ogun should follow!
Arrest all those businessmen giving people false hopes and telling blatant lies from the pulpit.
Ogun should start the one that had breakfast with God.
Lagos should have even arrested Oyakhilome all those years he was airing fake miracles. Ogun should be after the herbalist as they are the one doing nonsense ritual money for people The solution is simple, let all the traditionalist/herbalists register with the state government. They must be narrow down to local government, community. Any community where any herbalist is caught for doing ritual money for people, the head of the herbalist association in that community should also be arrested If they start arresting the herbalist community leaders, they will be the one making sure none of their members are into ritual money Same can be applied to pastors and Imams. Those ones are mostly scammers using God's wrath to scare their victims |

Atiku had his reasons for not picking Obi as Vice in 2023 which the reasons are still valid.
Why then did Obi still go ahead to join Atiku in ADC?
How is Peter Obi moving to NDC different from the miscalculated ADC moves which in both, others are ahead of him in the party, hence always join with invitation. Would Obi still hold the hands if those who invited him to NDC? |
