In Nigeria, buccaneers, blood suckers and ritualists has join the game and has make the game of politics look like a dangerous one, because if you dare challenge them they will kill you. Technocrats has shifted attention from the game of politics , its now left for dangerous men in the country, and all they do is to enrich themselves with the resources given to them to better the society, they embezzled the funds and there is no consequence for it. That is the only dirty i see in this part of the world.
What you see as the only dirty is enough to sink a country. In fact, it is not wrong to say that Nigeria is sinking because we have refused to move forward as a country and the reason for this stagnation is because of the nature of our politics. I think people don't go into politics for service but rather they want to be served. This is where we have gotten it wrong. The mindset people gets about politics is simply a selfish one. It is always believed politics is the shortest way of becoming rich and that is why when people go into office they do nothing other than accumulate so much wealth for themselves and their generations. They use substandard materials to build public structures but use foreign materials to build their residence. This goes to show that their mandate is to pursue their self interest and not the common good. Sadly, it is this mindset that makes our election a battlefield where politicians are not concerned about bloodshed as long as they can get into the corridor of power. Thus, politics is a dirty game in Nigeria.
