They prefer to blame village people, Spirits, evil spirits, their parents and neighbours instead. They believe everything is as a result of not serving God purely so they will rather pray than work or seek their rights.. Both Muslims, Christian etc 3 Likes |

isArray:Exactly, there is no tribe among those sharing the wealth. Money has no ethnicity. They are competing among themselves who will get the best house and best cars. Mental limitation is a serious thing and these guys knows how to play the game of using the mental limitation of their followers. I am not trying to defend igbos. But their ability to suffer for year's under so-called big men as Oga makes such influence hard on their side. 1 Like |

BossGerald:it's best to ignore people like that, he/she is probably trolling intentionally, if you are born with a sliver spoon, or if you are directly related to a political elite or if you are plucking money from a tree I can understand, but if you are working for your money in this current Nigeria then you should know every government decision is crucial to your finance and you should not treat it like it is child's play 1 Like |

isArray:Yes it existed years ago, which brings us back to this isArray:Let's go back to the main issue of the thread, how do you suggest that Nigerians demand for good governance? |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Shy Away From Demanding Good Governance? by isArray: 8:34am On Jun 25, 2023 |
princeabdul:I assume this a genuine question Good governance to me is when the minority in the society have the access to basic infrastructure/needs, a society where quality healthcare is accessible to all, a society where there is the ease of doing business, companies won't have to burn millions on diesel, a society that places high value on vocational training, a society where the government workers, enforcement agencies and security forces are being compensated well, a society where laws are being enforced for the common man and the well to do man. My list is endless but this is what I can think of now How do you demand it - it's not straightforward, but it's important to always hold the government accountable, they shouldn't be seen as some alpha and omega, ideally there should be a medium where the people in government can directly communicate with the populace(I think Seyi Makinde is doing this already) but it can start with expressing displeasure with whoever is representing your constituency |
