You ain't wrong bro honestly the main problem is the youth the energy we use and Twitter to fight baseless war of words between countries and schools why not channel that power and come together as one create our own party do a free and fair primary election ,no godfather then support who ever wins but no we won't when election comes you see the same Youth campaign for the same set of assholes that neglected for 4 years only to buy them with few gift and money package, check out the market women there goods will be thrown into gutttera and destroyed by task force, but let election come once they are given Ankara and 4 de Rica of rice and 2k each they will sing their praises and give them their votes hence selling the future of their kids for penny. So long we don't speak one language this nation will remain the same , so long we refuse to understand religion for what it is and not follow the blindly there won't be progress so long we still fight tribal wars they won't be promise Land.
My prayer is for plans to work out fine and say bye bye for good to this shit hole

PHAYOL81:
You have a point too. Methink the problem of this nation are the subjects the so-called greedy leaders govern over. No elected repesentative is more powerful than the electorates; if only we can exercise that power, this nation would've turn around for good.
First off, the power to force a change is in our unity. Trust me, even though another political party step onto the podium today, the issues we are dealing with will still remain our nemesis because the entire structure is messed up. Each elected member has come to believe s/he has no or little need for worry because there will ever be a faction of the population who would defend him/her irrespective of the performance hence the misbehaviour and resources mismanagement. And ain't that true? Look around at all the politicians we have today and you'll realise each one of them has a huge fanbase and that's not because of their performance 'cause not many of them score upto average but because of the religious, tribal and/or partisan affiliation.
Youth of today need to look into this and begin demanding for performances. Having said this though, things had to be carefully implemented without making a faction look bad. We can demand for good governance without too many critism. A state resident can demand for basic needs from the state government without critisizing. Take for instance we need good water supply, we all can keep torturing the government with this same demand across all available fronts without abusing or making anybody look bad. This unity of purpose will force the politician's hand to do something because he would be afraid s/he might run into trouble anywhere because the demand is coming from everywhere.
And the way we glorified them had to stop. We all know these guys are looters but when they turn up in town, some nutcases would rather sing their praise for peanuts than to show their grief at some wrongs that they do. This is one problem we need to walk away from if we want this country to prosper. My take is to always call for a better performance especially when these politicians are in town and let them realise that their longetivity on that seat depend greatly on how better they fare. Simple. We may even demand for the removal of any of them together with petitions to the court and push in another long before the time for another general election. But this all depend on us. Eventhough the pertition may not work, at the general election, we can easily flush anyone out. If we lessen our critism and magnify our voice of demanding, we end up getting what we want because no politician can buy everyone. What they buy are only few who sow seed of patriotisms into many others using the tribal, religion and/or the party lines.
And lastly we should be ready to demand our right from the right quarters. Mostly we blame the FG for practically everything that happens in our respective state thereby exonerating the real culprit and condemning the wrong body. Quite alright the FG has some few things they owe each state like the allocations, good inter-state channels including good roads and rail networks, good power supply and few other support progrmme, but the onus should be on the state arms of government to make the state works. And how many state are working in this country of ours? I think except Lagos State that are a little above average in term of governance and policy-making, the rest are absolutely poor but majority of the residents of these states focus more on the central government than their immediate leaders. Until we start pointing fingers at the right body, this country would still have difficulty progressing to the promise land we all want.
This is just what i feel. I may be wrong though.
