WHY IS NIGERIA POLITICS DIFFERENT FROM ABROAD.

[Aloysius01]

Nigeria politics is different because it is driven by power, poverty, weak institutions, and identity while Abroad politics is driven more by accountability, institutions, and citizen pressure.
Nigeria politics feels very different from what you see abroad because the foundation, incentive, and political culture are not the same.it is not that Nigerians are worse people, the system itself shapes behavior.
Politics in Nigeria is about survival not service.
In many developed countries, politics is seen as public service, in Nigeria it's often seen as economic survival and power access.
Public office, direct access to wealth, so politicians fight desperately by any means to win and stay in office.
Weak institutions vs strong institutions in Abroad like US, UK, Germany, etc Courts are independent, police enforce the law, Electoral bodies punish rigging.
In Nigeria institutions are weak and can be influenced, Laws exist but are poorly enforced, powerful people often act above the law. when institutions are weak, individuals become stronger than the system.
Lack of consequences, one big difference is that Abroad leaders resign or go to jail, while in Nigeria scandals are forgoten.

Why is Nigerian currency different from Abroad??

Why is Nigerian Language(s) different from Abroad?

Why is Nigerian’s geographical structure different from Abroad?

We could go on and on…

The quick answer is, because Nigeria is totally different from those other countries abroad, plus we are a sovereign nation meaning we are free to employ whatever political structure or system that we desire. Not saying we have the best political system in place, I’m only answering your question on your Subject.

You just responded absolutely and in no doubt, Nigeria politics is different from abroad politics because that geopolitical differences made the country's politics different from others and so every nations with their own rule of laws.
Nigeria is also not the only country with corruptions of governments so OP should bear on mind that politics everywhere is a game of interest.

I don't think if OP has actually traveled abroad to have witnessed how they also play their own politics to be compared with Nigeria. So I don't really know that which he admires that so much with the insight the broad system of politics cited in the media that is full of hypes and not telling the truth where bribes has been deposited to hide the truth.

Maybe we can take a recall of the formal US president Joe Biden and the current US president Donald Trump, some says Trump is intoxicated with his political position. Biden was on solo.

There is no place really being verified to have fair leaders or decent political alliance and activities. That is why people get murdered even during election as a political event. Sure we can recall about two occasions of attempted execution of Donald Trumps during his campaign. Sure that is also not Nigeria.

Are we really a sovereign nation?! Lmfao!

Forced to practice western democracy, forced to carry out western style of marriages, forced to have your citizens taxed out to the core by western systems, forced to rely on IMF & WB ( international monetary fund and the world bank ). At the same time more and more forced upon us to be practiced. We're far from a sovereign nation. Not even the citizens are fed well enough and you call that sovereignty?!

Try and look at each country and see the way they operate their politics and way of leadership, because not all of them are using the modern democracy practice, we can take Iran for instance, with their kind of monarchy leadership more related to a religious pattern, some become leaders by privilege and take position for a lifetime leadership, while some are taking position by democratic rule for the period of four years, except that the people express their dissatisfaction and crave for a new regime and change in leadership.

Sadly Nigerian politics has been reduced to “my turn to eat” rather than actually working for the good of the people.

You deserve a reward for this reply.

Nigeria is a country totally different from other countries. The only similarities we can find in Nigerian politics to some other countries is the practice of Democracy.

Many other countries are practicing democracy in the way they understand it. Nigeria democracy is not for the people, it is for those in leadership. I don't know for others, except for the US where democracy sound more like authoritarian government.
