Bad rulers In Nigeria

[Tribalchief]

I don't think that there is anything the citizens can do about it, because it's beyond their power. It's only in a violent way that the youths can approach this problem but who would be the leader. The military is in support of the corruption in the country and that's why they are always backing up the government whenever there is protest by citizens on bad government.

I think the issue of corruption is a global thing, but when it comes to Africa, we are actually number one. You and I know that in majority of the Africa countries, there is no form of accountability. I just did a recent research on the number of coup that has occurred over the years, and surprisingly, Africa holds about half of the number of coup attempts. I believe we are familiar with Gabon. Just imagine a leader leading a country for 42years when we are in a democratic era.

And as for our military not being able to stand for us, well, what do you expect when those in security are being appointed by those in politics. It's just like a referral package, so you don't expect them to stand against those who appointed them.

Corruption and political instabilities are some of the wounds which hinder growth in many of our countries today and weak accountability that most often than not, aggravates the problem. Recurrent staples are outcomes of openly expressed discontent with leadership that no longer supports the people. To this end, we have to mount a campaign that will only see the necessary changes that would usher a more accountable and deserving candidate for such a position in the military and security services. Recognising and supporting what actual democracy – when politicians perform basic roles to represent the general population, time-bound – might be pivotal in bringing back trust and stability into societies.

The root cause of Nigeria's problems lies in its poor governance. Despite being richly endowed with natural resources, the country's leaders have failed to utilize these resources for the benefit of its citizens. Instead, they prioritize personal gain, accumulating wealth that will last their families for generations.

During election campaigns, politicians promise to bring about positive change, but once in office, they fail to deliver. As a result, Nigeria's problems worsen daily, affecting the youth the most. Many young Nigerians are eager to contribute to the country's development, but poor leadership hinders their progress.

If the poor had the means to address Nigeria's problems, they would have done so, if not for anything, then for the sake of their children's future. Unfortunately, many parents struggle to make ends meet, lacking the financial resources to provide basic necessities like education, food, shelter, and clothing.

Despite protests and pleas from citizens, the government remains unresponsive to their needs. The poor continue to suffer, craving basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing, and education. It is imperative for the government to prioritize the welfare of its citizens and work towards creating a better future for all Nigerians.

Omo na true ooo from pass history now there have been number of bad rulers in Nigeria who refuse to die. From military dictatorship to corrupt civilian government, we don do taya to make sure say we get good leader al effort wasted, one example of bad ruler sani abacha, when rule Nigeria from 1993 to 1998. Abacha is a wide corruption and human rights abuses, anhe has stolen billions of dollars  from Nigeria treasure. Wetin you think about the current government now ? However another way when bad rulers dey operate na the way them dey handle the Nigeria economy. Nobody dey see how the money dey move no evidence of what was done. Many rulers have pursued policies that's have lead to the inflation and cause a week currency. This way don make thing hard for ordinary people. For someone to afford a basic commodity is a big problem, that has discouraged economic growth.

One of the worst things that has happened to Nigeria as a country is bad leadership it's like a natural disasters that has plague this nation and hold everyone to Ransom, the current economic stagnation that we are currently experiencing is a product of bad leadership and looking at the situation there's no hope because when it's comes to chosing leaders I think the people has no say as the power to choose has been taken away from the masses as corruption has taken over our electoral empire because when it comes to leadership we have not gotten it right that is why we are having problem in virtually all aspects of our country because leadership is what defines every thing

There are some steps towards constructing better future, first of all it is the raising of awareness by the people about the necessity of enhancing integrity of elections. Finally, when people come together with one voice saying no to corruption in its various forms we shall be shopping for leaders who value the welfare of societies. Sometimes all it takes is to provide communities with information about their rights and on the other part making the players in the system to be more transparent. When working together constantly, one is capable to bringing in change that would enable everybody embrace people oriented leadership.

Bad leadership no good sha and e dey really affect how the economy of the country dey be. With bad leaders, dey no fit be progress for the country and anything where wuna dey fight for to make the country great go just fall apart and to no avail. No be only Nigeria, many countries too dey face bad leadership and na so them dey face bad development too. For any country to succeed, them need good leaders and only will that transformation fit come.

the main problem of this country called Nigeria is caused by bad leadership as these so called leaders don't have any human sympathy for the people they are ruling but is only after what they can get from the masses and if we the citizens don't do anything about it we'll continue to wallow in poverty

I don't think that there is anything the citizens can do about it, because it's beyond their power. It's only in a violent way that the youths can approach this problem but who would be the leader.

This situation in Nigeria that we find our self is really worrisome as there's no way out yet for the Nation because this bad leader's have hold the entire country to a ransom and just as you have rightly said Even the military has joined these politicians in looting the nation dry , we really need revolution in Nigeria but these bad leader's have really corrupted the mind of many with the same corruption so even the same people that are suffering there's nothing that they can do

Nigeria's leaders are a direct result of the type of elections that are held. Because our elections are not transparent due to the high level of rigging, it is clear that the leaders brought into the system through these faulty means are not development-oriented. In fact, it is now widely assumed that if you want to win an election, you must be willing to buy the judiciary, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and votes, so the results of our elections are not always representative of the people's will.

With this system, finding a good leader will be difficult. A leader who was elected through corrupt means will either be more concerned with protecting the interests of the few people who brought him into power, or he will attempt to siphon funds from the national treasury in order to recoup all of the money spent during his campaign. As a result, our educational system, health-care facilities, economy, and public infrastructure are in poor condition. Thus, if we are to have a good leader in Nigeria, we must begin with the process that brings these leaders to power.

Your right because when it comes to choosing who becomes an elected government officials who will lead the masses to the needed place and direction there's no place where the people has hard their say as election in the Country is won on the grounds of turn by turn and rigging so basically speaking The Best rigger and the one with the highest and biggest bag of money will win not the choice of the people as those with big bag of money will buy everything from the masses and even the so called INEC

Bad leadership is seen to the blind, audible to the deaf, felt by toddlers and spoken about by the dumb.

As terrible as it may sound, bad leadership is directly responsible for the underdevelopment, educational backwardness, dilapidated health facilities and uncondusive learning environment.

Leaders at all levels in Nigeria have failed willfully to live up to expectations

[DragonF]

As terrible as it may sound, bad leadership is directly responsible for the underdevelopment, educational backwardness, dilapidated health facilities and uncondusive learning environment.

I agree with you to a large extent. Every country's leadership plays a critical role in driving development. Due to poor leadership, we have not yet caught up to the First World countries. Here, leaders prioritize their own interests over the welfare of the general populace.

This mindset of leaders demonstrates why it is challenging for them to implement policies that will lead to a good life and pursue developmental projects. Because they want to keep the majority of the funds for themselves, even when funding is approved for worthwhile projects, the execution is always flawed or of poor quality.

The main problem of our leaders is just greed to accumulate more wealth for them self and future generations that is why they don't have the people at heart and the only thing that they see is embezzlement  of funds ment for the development of the society and we can develop in such an environment because we have not gotten it right when it comes to leadership because the level of development that any country is s now is a function of the quality of leadership that the country has produced over the years

We play money politics, with the highest bidder winning it all. When these leaders spend so much money during the election campaign and eventually win, their first goal is not to bring development to the country, but rather to accumulate all of the money spent as you mentioned, and even more, because most of these politicians believe that once it is your turn, gather as much as you can because opportunity only comes once.

This is why, over the years they will be in leadership, they will make massive investments, save a lot of money in Swiss banks, and direct the majority of their development projects to their communities in order to attract chieftaincy titles. This way of doing things will only end if money is not used to influence the election process.

money to influence the elections is the first things all politicians with bad intentions really do, they want to accumulate all they put into the election to win and that really breaks down our promises they made to us citizens and forget all what they promised. I don’t really thinks this money influence of a thing would stop in Nigerian very soon cause even the upcoming generations are seeing what the elders are doing and they haven’t been in the position yet but planning on how to steal a lot of valuable assets in the politics.
 
We citizen are also a problem too, we all are after the big bags, truth to be told the Nigerian citizens are not trying against election at all we sold our votes to many leader willing to provide our needs at that time and forget about the future. All we are to pray for is better governance and good health. Someone that will make a lot of difference for our country and bring about peace everywhere in the nation.

I agree with you because one of the reasons that we are having this kind of leadership style is the way and manner that we conduct our elections in the country there's no room for a free and fair process it's always winner takes it all that is why these politicians do everything within their rich to make sure that they win the election, so after spending much money on the election process it's only natural that they get back what they have spent by way of embezzlement of the public funds

That is precisely why some parts of the country with a larger number of people are left in severe poverty since it is easier to control the poor by providing them with money and food in exchange for their votes. The northern part of Nigeria plays an important role in determining who will be the next President because it has the most voters and high illiteracy and are easily controlled.

We will continue to have bad elected officials unless we stop selling our votes and limit voting to a select few people.
