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

It's a useless effort to pray for what the government is meant to solve - unemployment, good roads, electricity, public parks, primary health care, affordable transport system, international relations, ease of doing business, stable economy

We have some critics here on nairaland who criticize the government based on bitterness and anger, it's good to call the government to order but not when you hailed Soludo for demolition and criticize Sanwoolu for doing same.... that's witchcraft mehnnn.

But do you accept that everyone has the right to make choice? Honest question, are you proud of the rigging that was carried out in the last elections? I'm not fan of any political party by the way, I also don't believe in being a fan of any political leader, they are their to serve and make lives better

Who rigged in the last election? Or let me reframe my question... Who among the major contestants did not rig in the last election??

I'm asking you this question because you said you are neutral. cool

In presidential or governorship election?
Did you see a video from a region of a candidate that came third where his people did not allow one old man to vote because according to them "he's coming to vote xyz party"?

I'm asking you because you said you are neutral oh grin

If you have an evidence of rigging you can go to court, how hard is that?

Oh please, the concerned parties with the evidences are already facing themselves in court, also it's so shameful and embarrassing that the country can't conduct free and fair for all elections in this modern age.

It's very confusing when the masses(people at the bottom of the chain) defend politicians that are meant to serve the people, it's okay if there good works are being commended and it will be glaring because people will see and feel it, but why do people defend those that have meted hardship on them? It's understandable if some people are being paid to do this, but I'd like to know what the others stand to gain.
All these started after yoruba misadventure into national politics

Of course! Nigerian politicians will wine and dine together regardless of tribe/religion/party but they'll push their followers to fight and kill themselves
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.

And how is that going for them?

What is embarrassing? Even Trump claim that the election that unseat him wasn't free and fair. Support your candidate with your full chest and stop hiding behind technicalities.

Okay, if you are referring to the USA can you reference a post were ballot was being snatched? I don't have any candidate to support, elections are over. Only hoping that Nigerians demand better from current administration even though I don't live there

Random images on Google from years ago is what you are presenting as evidence.

As you said you are not in the country in the country at the moment as such I would pardon your ignorance and caution you on taking everything you Google with a pinch of salt.

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

Let's go back to the main issue of the thread, how do you suggest that Nigerians demand for good governance?

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
