Nigeria is regarded as one of the fastest developing nations in Africa, nigeria ranks 144th most corrupt country in the 180 countries listed in the transparency International corruption index.
There is no doubt, there are problems or challenges facing the nigeria politics.
(1)GODFATHERISM
Godfathers are political sponsors who uses money and influence to win election for there preferable candidates.Godfathers are those who have been in the system(politics)for years, they can manipulate results and appoints candidates they want into political positions.When this candidates get into power they can't be free taking decisions on there own, except those ones that will eventually breaks out.A solution to this problem that policies should be put in place to ensures transparent election so as to put godfathers useless.

(2)CORRUPTION
Corruptions remains a problem in nigeria and also politics as well, and it is also global, causes of corruption are;
*greed
*tribalism
*nepotism, corruption is in facts not only political problems, it also takes place in the society, economy, churches, place of work etc.

(3)TRIBALISM
Tribalism has been the cause of war, electoral malpractice, political instability in nigeria, citizens loose there sense of reasoning and vote person into power not considering if he or she is capable of leadership, they do it because of tribalism sentiment.etc

In conclusion corruption have started since before we are born, but just that it is getting out of hand, we know it is not easy to fight it, but we are calling on the government to give a good example and a good leadership, and also enforce a law to face when you are a victim...

op, all you listed are issues that are related developing countries. But in Nigeria politics,the major problem we're facing are leadership and followership problem. The political actors and bloody and greedy for power, they force themselves on the people and the people in return support them with little token. They impoverished the people to enable be use during Election. Nigeria must move beyond all the issues raised as above,when we elect good leaders with conscience.

I made an observation, the 144th out of 180 should be in the category of the least corruption countries in the world. When you talk about the most corrupt countries in the world, Nigeria is in top 30.

So far it's very evidential that corruption has remained one of the major problems hindering Nigeria as a country from developing at the same place with other developing countries. Politicians are not helping matters, the citizens are also not also helping matters as they allow themselves to be used by the corrupt Politicians who don't care about the poor masses.
