Nigerian Presidential Election in 2023 on My Mind

I do not subscribe to the politics of ethnicity. It is not the best but in the context of Ngierian politics, it is what seem to work. Unfortunately, the political clime in Nigeria is not mature enough to stand on the personality of the candidate. The main parties zone everything from the presidential candidate to, vp, senate president and the speaker, even the service chiefs until Buhari's last 4 years where he broke

Presidential politics of 2023 will be very dramatic. I am just thinking of how the Igbo factor will play out. If neither of the main political parties who have produced an Igbo presidential candidate, and there is no formidable Igbo candidate from any of the other parties, it will be exactly 53 years that the Igbos have be excluded from the top job in Nigeria after the civil war in 1970, and 57 years after the last Igbo leadership. Tinubu is gearing up to be APC candidate in 2023 from the information being peddled. Maybe PDP will field an Igbo candidate with a northern vice. It will be interesting how this will play out.

Up till now, the political parties have played the politics of zoning. Buhari has surrounded himself with politicians of northern extraction to the chagrin of others. All the security chiefs but 2 are of northern extraction. If APC want to be and not want to be a madiator of chaos in 2023, they should field an Igbo candidate. The zoning formula should be in Igbos' favor in 2023 after 57 years of exclusion. We want peace in Nigeria.

Nigeria Should NOT Fight the West's Proxy War in Niger Republic else...

Nigeria should be careful not to plunge itself into the Western nations' proxy war... We have no business going to war with the Niger Republic and its allies in Burkina Faso and Mali. They should let France, the U.S., and entire Western countries who have a strategic interest in Niger's Uranium reserve (25% of the global reserve is in this country) should fight the war themselves... Nigeria as a nation has no strategic interest or benefit in Niger. In fact, Tinubu needs to cancel the $1.2 billion wasteful rail line being built by his predecessor because he has cousins in Niger.. Nigeria is in a state of economic chaos. Fighting a war while we are living on borrowed money is the most stupid decision any country like ours will ever make... We will be fighting against countries that most of our loans are coming from.....and most of the burden of the war will be borne by Nigeria, and West Africa could be destabilized by this war for decades from now and we will impoverish our peopl

WHY ARE YOUNG NIGERIANS DYING IN DROVE

It is disheartening when you read about young people in Nigeria dying from mysterious ailments. This speaks volumes about the state of healthcare delivery in the country.... it is practically non-existent for poor and middle-class Nigerians. .. Hospitals have been Undertaker houses for decades and successive governments have done nothing to help the situation.... People die of sicknesses that will cost a few hundreds or thousands of naira to treat... where are those hospitals, where are the doctors and nurses (most of them have left and some are boarding the plane as I am writing to leave), and where are the supplies to treat, where is the ethics - many are prioritizing money above their oath, where is the compensation for healthcare workers, where are the modern equipment, where is the power to keep the hospitals afloat, where are other utilities.....? There is a deep connection between access to qualitative healthcare and the prosperity of a nation. A healthy workforce is a productiv
