Governance in the federation

[Joeboy]

Considering the recent happenings (national economy, elections and elections related etc), let's do some analysis to identify the major sources of the problem which should help in getting solutions definitely.

The major source of our problem are simply the the electoral candidates, i.e our leader, you don't expect a positive result or a change in the country when the same set of people keeps coming to represent us

There’s a song I listened to recently by  (Hypocrite) and it says;
“And what about even you voters
Wey dey act like say you only see two jokers
Recycle the same corrupt men
Later you complain you say you hate the government”

and this is so true, Nigerians know very well the true nature of most presidential candidates and yet they pay a deaf ears to their red flags and still go ahead and vote them. Few days ago while scrolling through Facebook I came across a post of a guy who was in support of Tinubu coming back to office in 2027 and his was simply because his dad was an early supporter of APC so because of that he’d also support the party no matter what and is we have others with that same sick mindset then I don’t think the country is going to progress anytime soon.

Just imagine, sincerely speaking most Nigerians have gotten used to suffering that they cannot see reality for how it is, am sure the guy that vowed to support APC no matter what has some financial gains he has benefited from the party in question, in what way or the other. It's hig time we Nigerian wake up from this slumber we are life and face reality, only then can we have a better Nigeria. Coz you can't sell you conscience all in the name of receiving benefits from a politician, and you expect that politician to perform well it is never possible.

The person I mentioned in my previous post wasn’t looking really good - from the view pictures I saw, at first I was of the impression that he must be rush and doing well for himself for him to have come out publicly to say such a thing despite the current state of the country but he was looking really unkempt and tattered.

Even those that usually gain some thing from the government during the whole electoral process they are still suffering - the little money they usually realise from the scandals tend not to be enough for them to survive the whole tenure and now that things have become even worse than usual they’ll have themselves to blame for being a part of those who disrupted the free and fair elections.

The picture you saw of the guy has told whole story, see ehn, politicians cannot pack all the money in their account and give it as bribe to the citizens, rather they do is that they will give them peanut, I mean amount of money that will on last for at tops 2days, and after that it finishes, and back to suffering. So the leader have seen our vulnerability and decided to capitalize on it, they know that people need money, that is why if they offer it on a silver platter to the citizens like this so called guy and his cohorts, they are more than grateful and excited to collect it, without even considering the long term effect of their selfish actions.

The most mind boggling part is that some even collect “a custard container filled with rice” and then go and vote rubbish into power - it’s just so sad to see that both educated and uneducated people engaging in such an absurd act, dragging for something that isn’t even worth anything in exchange of 4 years of their life or even 8 years because most of them contest for another tenure and they usually win it (after sharing rice again).

This is not our problem. If politicians give voters items and allow the voting process to be free and fair, the majority of politicians will not return to power, even if they share food and money. The reality is that votes do not count. The election process is always marred by malpractice, and politicians, particularly those in power, collaborate directly with the INEC chairman to secure electoral victory.

This is the saving grace for these self-centered politicians. People are beginning to vote based on the candidate's credibility, but unfortunately, results are being drafted even before the election day. In fact, it will come as no surprise to hear that the results of the 2027 presidential election are ready to be announced. This has been our experience as a people.

Small actions proves that big change is possible if we can all work towards a common cause. Even though the Electoral candidates have a part to play in the whole mishaps in the country, let's not still forget the fact that there are still some people who are still fully backing up this leader. We lack one voice that is the major problem we have as citizens, when a person is against a leader another citizen is fully in support that government, maybe because of fear or the little benefits he or she is receiving.

Unity is actually more like the absence of selfish interests towards oneself often not concerned about what negative effects it would have on others and most citizens actually fall in this category. Many of them believe their leaders have stolen from them so they should steal too if they get there eventually.

That's where the problem comes from because if no-one is inclined on changing things for the better then who will anchor a liberation or a change?
