Personally I would like to change our political system

I'll increase tithes from 10% to 20%.

How can you be paying 10% for over 5 thousand years and be happy. With the rate of inflation, it would be fair to increase tithes to 20%. So that's the first thing I'll like to change.

This I have seen.

I would like to change nothing

I'd change our education system so science is mandatory up to the first year in university for every course.

It would make Nigerians understand that their food comes from the sweat of their brow and not like manna from heaven.

And if perchance I can change 2 things, religious organisations will pay tax.

Kill all the people that did GRAGRA for Nigeria's independence. Let the Colonial Masters continue to have DIRECT and INTERMINABLE control over the shithole.

Everything

The first thing I would do is grant Igbos their Biafra. Let them go! No wasting of time.

our values...they have fallen helplessly so low..
I don't care about the politicians...its US Nigerians that put them there or have allowed their brazen ruthless excesses....until we re-examine our values ..life will be business as usual in that Country

Those that fought for the recent democracy did that for their selfish interest. If are fighting for something, fight for it for the people. Our own democracy fighters are all politicians now.
I will faze them out if given the opportunity, they are the real Enemy of Nigeria, none of them knows what the masses are suffering. They're not down to earth

We need a overhaul of our educational system.

I will replace the "e" in Nigeria with "a" and add another "g" behind the existing "g" so that it will spell "Niggaria". This will make the most populous black nation have an awesome name.

Division of Nigeria into 6-7 sovereign entities. Nigeria was a selfish British adventure and should never have been in existence

I won't change anything.

I will just cut my own share of the National cake in largee and movveee

I'll ensure Atheism becomes an illegal belief system among the citizens

If u wanna be one, you have to first write a 10pages note to convince me of how life came into existence.

As much as I'm not a religious one, I notice that the growth of atheism is already fueling immorality among our youths as most no longer have reasons to remain humane(as they now know there's no heaven or hell), a recipe for societal crumbling

The political system.

Nigerian democracy is like a flat with ten occupants. Three of the occupants are well-educated and know how to take the country forward, but their three votes can't change anything in the face of the other seven votes from the others who are dumb as fork.

The educated folks found themselves in a situation where they couldn't do anything, but either endure or leave, therefore, reducing the number of capable hands, and increasing the suffering that the dumb ones impose on everyone.

I cant tell you what the right political system should be, but whichever is adopted should feature meritocracy, where the most capable ascend to the top, regardless of popularism and nepotism.

If the three educated people in the flat are really educated and smart, why don’t they enlighten the seven to their viewpoints and make meritocracy more effective than tribalism and cronyism in the democratic process

Is that not how Europeans clipped the wings of their absolute monarchy to make their countries attractive to us, who are too mentally lazy to do likewise?

The only way they can do that is through vote, which is either a scam on its own (due to the moral bankruptcy of the system), or their numerical inferiority makes it impossible.

Teaching the dumbos is not a classroom thing, it's warfare, whether through vote, or sword. The voting option has been done countless times, no hope, will the sword be next? we shall see.

Because the immortality and deep corruption in Nigerian society and government was not caused by self proclaimed Muslims and Christians.

Hasn't that being going on? For example, Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin informed us via X, newspapers, etc about the drug case of President BAT, his philosophy of "What money can't do, more money can do", multi-million naira houses bought under two of his younger children, the Nigerian Air scam, etc yet people who call themselves "educated and smart" still voted and are openly supporting him.

Our problem isn't lack of education; our problem is we haven't suffered enough. And we haven't suffered enough because we largely believe all consequences can be begged, payed, prayed or sacrificed away.

On Europeans victory, it's because they don't have a place to go to; they consider Africa inferior continent/race.

And since it's less stressful to immigrate than educate willful ignoramuses, the fortunate ones take that path.

The summary is that those of us who think that we know something have not done ENOUGH to make others know the something that we know. That’s why we are not smart but selfish, myopic olodos.

Technology

1. The tax system - I will introduce a luxury tax. You will pay a luxury tax on your third house, third car, third child etc. Nobody needs to own more than two of anything. Taxes will be reduced for businesses that employ over 100 people.

2. Basic education - The knowledge of the mind would be introduced to primary schools. Children would be thought how to think, what to think about etc. The curriculum would also be adjusted to enable children solve real life problems.

3. Beautification - Packaging is everything. The more appealing the package, the higher the value. We should be able to plan our cities. Have business districts, residential areas, house plans should get approval before building commences. You can’t build a 2 bed bungalow in a duplex area, you can’t move in to an uncompleted building etc.

4. The mindset of Nigerians - Nigerians want to see the end result of change but don’t want to go through the process of change. It is because of this mindset that we have leaders who aren’t willing to make changes. They do their eight years and leave the problem for the next president. See when Fashola was seizing bikes in Lagos, they said his govt was elitist. Sanwo was impounding vehicles driving one way, they said he was heartless. We get too comfortable with the status quo. The world is changing everyday while Nigerians are talking about how much rice was in 2014.

Bonus: I will invest heavily in entertainment, sport & Tourism. Those have the potentials to make the country a lot of money.

Great submission.

Will the basic/primary education be free & compulsory

Is there any reason why you missed out on industrialisation with massive manufacturing of high value products?

What is wrong about our current political system, which is right about what you want to change it to?

What is the political system that you want us to change to, which will solve all our problems

Nigerians if una borrow money make una dey try pay back!

I would make corruption/theft by those in positions of power punishable by death.

I have the same thought as well. Let me share my own view.

No any president can fix the mess in this cohntry in 8 years. At most,he lays the foundation for a gradual change and hopes the next president continue from where he stops and this is still a rare scenario.

What we need is an authoritarian government that will rule indefinitely,such as in russia and north korea. Forget about the media propaganda this countries have thier own good side and is not hell on earth like the west want us to believe.

At least a president that can rule for more or less 20 years can a have a good vision will have enough time to implement it.

What tribe will your autocratic president be from, to rule for 20 years

Can you see where the problems of nigeria are originating from? We're talking about figuring out a solution and you just have to bring up tribalism. Like wtf!

Are you saying if the chosen leader isn't from your tribe you won't go along with it?

I'm a f""uvking hausa by tribe and even though most of my folks are mostly religiously tribalistic,I'll still vote for a Christian to rule us for that long.

Our focus when choosing leaders should never be influenced by tribe or religion,we should pay attention most to COMPENTENCY AND FAIRNESS.
