Ok! Then this kind of restructuring lies with the judiciary.

Nigeria has a weak Judiciary which stem from the presidency.

Making laws is nothing without an enforcement

I agree enforcement is a major part of it. A lot of good policies and laws already exist on paper, but weak institutions and weak enforcement reduce their impact.

That’s also why I mentioned accountability and citizen participation at the local level, because pressure and documentation from communities can help expose failures earlier instead of waiting until things completely collapse.

This format, we have seen before and it is a regular occurence by those who chanted sai darling daddy and today it will favour their families

Let e ask you a question. Since when did you start to have this opinion ? Yesterday, today or what.

Why is now that you have suddenly realised that their are structural problems when the hope you thought will favour you is now disappointing you. Did yoi write this during the time of GEJ ? Why not. If you did Show prove. I am 100 % percent sure that you were part of those who gathered at Ojota.

Now that reality of the faaake certificate holder is hitting you, youbare not condemning him, never condemned him bit you want to throw every other person under the Bus and wear them the gown of "cannot do anything" because the failure you defend as öroven to be a mega disazter

Fair point, but I’m not trying to shift blame from anybody. The current government should absolutely be criticized where necessary. I just think Nigeria’s problems have become bigger than one politician or one election cycle.

QuinQQ:
Alright, you want us to ask so we're asking:
What the fụck is Majoori?

Haha, it’s just a smaller discussion/community space I’ve been spending time on lately.

People discuss local issues, politics, eyewitness reports, mental health, and even advise government on community problems. I just got tired of seeing important conversations disappear after a few days online.

DatNiggaDaz:


After shouting southern yoonity they grabbed and snatched and the reality has dawned on them that a faaake certttifficcate hollldderr can never favour them and their families.

Suddenly, no one can trsnsform the country because their aim is to shift the blame away from the failed incompetent guru str**tegist.

The objective of this thread is to stain everyone with the Red oil of failure and incompetence that if their failed guru str*tegist is a monumental disazter, then no one can salvage the country because there is no hope for the country since the faaake ocean tamer has failed

Mr @OP before you start crying, condemn the snatch and grab teev and his failed maladministration of mandate snatchers before you blame everyone except the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr

My post is not about defending or attacking any particular politician. In fact, part of the point is that Nigerians often become so emotionally attached to political personalities that deeper structural issues get ignored.

Every administration should be criticized where necessary, including the current one. But beyond individuals, I think the country also needs stronger systems for accountability, local economic development, and long-term governance continuity.

gare:
No

So it's only tinubu that can fix it

Why do you think tinubu can fix it please?

Obogidi:
This country is collapsing everyday in every sector by corruption and poor governance, still we are giving attention to unnecessary things that adds nothing to the progress of this country, why did we have this suffering and smiling mentality?.

What do you propose the suffering citizens do in this situation?

Ever8090:
You are right but I wonder why someone will ignore the people who have impoverished us all an start targeting their fellow opresed citizens...it is illiteracy just as you said anyway...

It’s because it’s easier to see the person next to you than to reach the person at the top who is actually calling the shots.
The frustration is real because we’ve been pushed to a point where everyone is just surviving, and when people are in survival mode, long-term thinking feels like a luxury they can't afford. But that’s exactly how the people at the top keep winning, they count on us being too exhausted and scattered to actually keep track of what they’re doing to us.

The use of words to deceive Nigerians may take forever to end.

What do you understand as restructuring in this contest as used?

In the context of my post, I mean restructuring more around accountability and decentralization.

Too much attention is focused at the top while local governments and communities remain weak, even though many problems are local in nature.

A country becomes harder to manage when everything depends on Abuja, while citizens have no real structure for tackling poverty, unemployment, tracking projects, or holding governance accountable beyond election periods.

That’s the kind of restructuring I’m referring to.

Beautifulday:
What you can't do, don't say others can't do it. Knowledge is different, so is will power

Noted. But amongst these candidates who do you think can better restructure this country?

Ever8090:
No one can fix Nigeria as long as people are still interested in getting 72 virgins....I can tell you that the major problem of Nigeria is insecurity and we all know where it is coming from and how determine they are to secure there 72

I honestly think insecurity itself is also a symptom of deeper structural problems. When communities have high poverty, unemployment, poor education, abandoned projects, and no accountability, frustration and instability grow faster.

That’s part of why I believe Nigeria focuses too much on personalities and too little on systems.

The news is buzzing again, Jonathan, Obi, Tinubu, 2027 politics everywhere.

But honestly, none of these men can truly fix Nigeria with the way the country is structured.

We spend years arguing about elections while abandoned projects, rolled-over budgets, and failed policies keep piling up. A project starts, people complain online for one week, then everybody moves on.
No documentation.
No public memory.
No accountability.

That’s why I’ve become more interested in citizen-driven spaces like Majoori, where people try to document local projects and discuss what’s actually happening in their communities instead of only arguing during election season.

Because if citizens don’t build accountability culture themselves, 2027 may just become another cycle of promises.

Melezenawii:
Not rumours, you think those that organize the rallies are doing it for free

He will spoil show for obi be that

iwaeda:
Where will brother Peter go now?

I think this is just rumors, oga jona said he will consult widely first.

I passed one "commissioned" borehole in my area yesterday.

No water. Just signboard. And it made me think…
We complain a lot in this country, but nothing actually changes.

Somebody will snap it, post it, people will say “Nigeria is finished”, get 100 comments… and that’s the end. Next month, same thing.

Meanwhile the road is still bad, the project is still abandoned, and we’re still using data to vent.
But if you think about it, most of us actually know what’s wrong.

We see these things everyday:
- bad roads
- abandoned projects
- useless drainage
- things that don’t make sense

So why does nothing come out of it? Is it that we don’t have structure, or we just don’t take it seriously?

Because sometimes I feel like if people actually documented these things properly — location, details, even follow-up , it might carry more weight than random posts.

I’ve even seen a few spaces like majoori.com trying to push that kind of idea, where people don’t just complain but actually document and discuss solutions… and in some cases even get rewarded for useful contributions. Still early though.

Curious… how many abandoned or useless projects are in your own area right now?

aswani:
He might not be as active now that he is an ambassador but he used to be here giving it to Obidients wotowoto

LoL e be like say you get personal beef with obidients?

LordBiden:
Even Reno is on nairaland,I heard Anonpoet is one of his usernames,don't know how true tho.

I doubt Reno is here.

aswani:
Obidients are certainly not giving anybody anything worth reading with the yen yen yen.

There are some nuggets of information here for the common man which is what should concern you and I.

it’s not about any group. The real issue is how we separate useful information from emotional arguments, so discussions stay practical and helpful to the average person.

Omowale2023:
Yes we are wasting our time arguing politics, yes, the politicians are reading our messages. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor is on Nairaland. Most politicians are.

If they’re actually reading, then these conversations matter more than we think.
The real question is are we giving them anything worth reading?

meobizy:
Here, the website you’re advertising, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and the like are mediums to waste otherwise useful time. Online noise is just what it is — noise. Action takes place when people perform things offline.

I get your point, but offline action doesn’t come from nowhere.
It’s influenced by how people think and right now most online discussions aren’t helping with that

I was scrolling through here and it’s the same cycle insults, party fights, tribal sentiments. Tomorrow, repeat.

Meanwhile we complain about unemployment, bad leadership, corruption… but how often do we actually sit down and break things down properly?

I recently came across a discussion on majoori.com (their “Advice Your Government” section), and I won’t lie the difference was clear.

Someone even broke down the Enugu water issue explaining things like last-mile pipe failures, power problems, and how the state is losing revenue because billing doesn’t work properly. Not just complaints, actual solutions.

It made me wonder if the problem is not just leadership, but also how we as citizens discuss issues.

Do you think Nigerian politicians even pay attention to conversations like this online… or are we just talking to ourselves?

chiiraq802:
Nigeria and Nigerians are serving the politicians.

It’s funny how we all agree there’s a problem, but conversations like this usually just end as debates and nothing more.

I think the bigger issue is that we don’t have spaces where ideas are actually developed, not just argued.

Everyone has opinions, but very few platforms push people to turn those opinions into structured solutions

There's nothing like repentant terrorist, Nigeria is the only country i know that adopts such approach and it's not helping

Divoc19:
Truism. This is where local government autonomy comes in the help grassroot development chain stronger.

True, local government autonomy can make a difference. But the challenge is making sure it actually leads to long-term opportunities, not just temporary support. If communities can build around their own strengths, it could be more sustainable.

Racoon:
Most are self serving except a some extremely few who genuinely have the citizens @heart.

You think it's possible for this same leaders to make laws that will make politics less attractive?

SeizeTheMemes:
It's always been about personal gain in my opinion. It's just more apparent now because everything is starting to collapse. I also believe a government that serves it's people is possible look at china for example. Until we realise that our leader have no incentive to actively develop or serve the country, will continue to extract our resources.

I understand what you’re saying. Some leaders really do come in with that passion to serve. The hard part is whether that same energy can still hold up once they’re inside the system and dealing with all the realities of power.

This is why more structured public discussion matters. If politics is being experienced like a “game,” then maybe the missing piece is spaces where people focus less on teams and more on solutions.

The problem isn’t that young people can’t dream it’s that the system makes those dreams expensive to pursue. If local opportunities were stronger and more rewarding, fewer people would see leaving as the only path forward.

I just de wonder, If political offices in Nigeria didn’t come with big benefits, allowances, and influence, how many people would still fight to get there?. Sometimes it feels like politics has become more about personal gain than actual service.

So I’m wondering if we made everything more transparent and reduced the financial incentives, would we start seeing different kinds of leaders?
Or is the problem deeper than that?

No incentive, no way for poor man in this country
