There is no doubt, there are problems or challenges facing the nigeria politics.
(1)GODFATHERISM
Godfathers are political sponsors who uses money and influence to win election for there preferable candidates.Godfathers are those who have been in the system(politics)for years, they can manipulate results and appoints candidates they want into political positions.When this candidates get into power they can't be free taking decisions on there own, except those ones that will eventually breaks out.A solution to this problem that policies should be put in place to ensures transparent election so as to put godfathers useless.
(2)CORRUPTION
Corruptions remains a problem in nigeria and also politics as well, and it is also global, causes of corruption are;
*greed
*tribalism
*nepotism, corruption is in facts not only political problems, it also takes place in the society, economy, churches, place of work etc.
(3)TRIBALISM
Tribalism has been the cause of war, electoral malpractice, political instability in nigeria, citizens loose there sense of reasoning and vote person into power not considering if he or she is capable of leadership, they do it because of tribalism sentiment.etc
In conclusion corruption have started since before we are born, but just that it is getting out of hand, we know it is not easy to fight it, but we are calling on the government to give a good example and a good leadership, and also enforce a law to face when you are a victim...
The current problem in Nigeria has been happening in my country for a long time. My country is not politically transparent, people in power can do everything in this country. In politics, one must listen to what the people in power say. They are always cheating in the name of giving elections. In my country, no election campaign goes properly and even if it does, only the people in power continue to campaign in the election, the opposition parties cannot participate in the election campaign. In short, the problem that has arisen in Nigeria is something that we are constantly thinking about. Even if other countries put pressure on my country's government, my country's government doesn't mind that pressure. But of course, if we see that these problems will be solved, even if we see it late, we will definitely see it someday because power is never permanent.
