I have come to realised that one of our major problems in Nigeria is the fact that we don't elect leaders based on qualification but based on tribalism and nepotism. Majority of us are victims of this. The earlier we start changing our mindset towards governance the better for us.

Tribalism can not stop in Nigeria. It can only stop when people with similar culture and language live together.
Baba wake up!!!

poverty is the real source of corruption and tribalism is the second cause. tribalism and corruption will continue to exist as long as questions like "what state are you from", "what village are you from" and "what tribe are you from" No longer matters in this country its questions like this that makes us divided. if you want to do anything in dis Nigeria this questions must be asked, eg ( in jamb or waec registration it is asked, opening a bank accounts etc). Can you ask an American or a British what tribe they are from in their countries? because in their minds "they are all one". but here in Nigeria, hmm. if anything happens am not from anambra am from Enugu. how can there be unity when everyone has that mindset and are busy fighting for their tribes, even in their villages they are still divided as clans, there are 527 ethic groups in Nigeria 7 of which are now extinct... when will Nigeria change
