Every day we blame Nigeria’s government for the problem in Nigeria but can we all agree that is not always their fault, and sometimes we have to blame ourselves for not having the right mentality about the political aspects of the country.
We have three different tribes in Nigeria and most Nigerian always make their political decision based on this, most Nigerians will rather vote for a man that is from their tribe and they don't care if he is capable or not, they don't care if he is old or not, we don't care for the good of the country and we let our traditional mindset affect how we decide the future of the country.
This is very common among the older generations but based on Nigeria's last censor we have more youth in the country but most youths don't vote, we have so many brilliant youths but they all believe Nigeria's politics is dirty and even though you vote your vote won't cont. They stay away from any electoral process which gave the older generations chance to vote with sentiment.
We also have those that don't care about tribes or not, they only care about their pocket as long they will benefit or give them money during the election they will vote for you, they are the type that believes if a candidate does not share money during the election they can not win. The problem of Nigerians is with these sets of people and their mindset is what killing the development of the country.
Change of perception
The main reason why the slogan change begins with you is perfect for Nigerians is that there is nothing that can be done if this mindset doesn't change, we proudly elect bad leaders into power because of those reasons stated above and most of these people complain when the government is not working. We have youths that rant about Nigeria all the time on Twitter but don't vote and they expect to change.
Nigeria must find a way to change how people view politics, 70 percent of the population still fall into one of these categories which are affecting every sector in Nigeria, it is time we start doing the right thing, as our beloved country is in our hands.

Thanks for you time.
I'm quite guilty of that. I'm with the impression that voting is a waste of time because the elections will be rigged either way based on which politician has the most influence. But I guess that perception is wrong especially when many people adopt it. If we want things to change, we first have to change our perception.
Youth must take responsibility because soon they will be will be leader of tomorrow
Yes, they're the leaders of tomorrow. Better to start preparing now.
I think our problem is that we create problems for ourselves while expecting change to automatically happen out of nowhere. Nigeria can never change until we become less tribalistic and religious. People vote in rubbish but expect miracles to happen
If We don't change soon this country will fall
Tribalism is one of Nigeria's problems, it is a silly idea to say I am not going to vote Mr. A because he is an Igbo instead of looking at his capabilities. Not only in Nigeria though I experienced the tribes in SA are divided as well, the Zulu always think they are the real South Africans, while the Xhosas which is Mandela tribe believe they are the ones that won the fight for freedom etc.
I think it is a nature thing but we have to look pass that, especially in Nigeria where everything is not working
Tribalism is bad and it's also quite bad in the US. At the same time, people not voting is also an issue. There are just people who don't really believe in the system anymore and it's too bad that they believe so. The politicians will do whatever they can to win and it's too bad that we see all these issues.
I don't why people always choose not to vote when they know it will affect thier country for four years
That pattern is what is leading to the decay of most African countries at large. Change is possible. nice write up bro.
