All this na north turn, na South turn, e don tire me, we sopos dy more concern about who go fit do the work well, no be brother brother things
For me oh, because the structure of our country comprises different ethnic groups and different regions, I think it will be very difficult to elect a leader at the federal level without putting factors like, what part the person comes from and do the normal zoning to either the north, south, east, west or what have you.

Of course, competence should be very paramount when electing a leader but if after zoning the presidency to a particular region, the competent ones in that region can now come out to contest for such political position.

I think what had always played out in our election is more of party / personal interest than any ethnic sentiment. A situation where we allow just selected parties and individual to recycle themselves in our political system is a strong indication that we are not ready for any change anytime soon.

Another serious issue of concern about our fellow Nigerian is how they get carried away with small peanut that comes during election and will vote anyone that is willing to pay them small cash on the day of the election.

I was at akwa ibom in the just concluded election and in my compound my neighbours were bragging about how they won't vote a particular candidate for reasons best known to them, when the day of election came, the same party offered to give them just 4k and they shamelessly gave out there vote. Later they will still be the ones to talk about bad leaders.
