Nigerian government is getting worst by the day, until we get one who is ready and determined to curb corruption honestly and distribute the resources of the nation equally. There are good people in Nigeria who can safe us, but they are few, difficult to find and may not be considered to lead. Nigerians should have a rethink of their choice of leaders and the process of election in order to make Nigeria work.
This same question has been on and on for years now.Every year, the question resurfaces,usually louder during elections, fuel crises, currency crashes.We ask it with hope,with anger,sometimes, we ask it out of exhaustion.Many expect a saviour,a president, a party, a messiah with the right speeches and strong promises.But history has been unkind to that vision /expectation.
Nigeria has changed leaders many times,miilitary,civilian,young,old,loud and quiet.Yet the core problems remain stubbornly persistent corruption,weak institutions, poor accountability, and a widening gap between the government and the governed.
Nigeria doesn’t suffer from a lack of leaders,It suffers from a system that rewards the wrong behaviors and citizens who are often reluctant,apathetic,discouraged,or disengaged.Think of it this way,waiting for one person to fix Nigeria has become a convenient escape route from collective responsibility which we all know.Government alone is not the cause too,we all have our roles to play too as citizens of Nigeria,but it's not coming forth.
Nigeria will be saved when citizens decide they are stakeholders, not spectators.When values change before power does.When accountability becomes cultural,not optional.When people stop asking “Who will save Nigeria?” and start asking what change or impact am I contributing to the Nigeria I complain about?
