It is almost impossible to discern that Nigeria`s challenges can be digested in a matter of hours and solutions found. But that appears to be what town hall meetings are for as Nigeria hurtles towards general elections that will prove defining come next year.
For many of them who have made an appearance so far, the overwhelming focus of their submissions is on how to make Nigeria better and greater. Of course, talking about how to make Nigeria better than it is at the moment carries with it an implicit admission that all is not well with the country. But what exactly do the presidential hopefuls offer? For many Nigerians, the experience of politicians is of a breed rotten beyond redemption; of a class cursed with ineptitude, inertia and avarice. Thus, the mentality that has been shaped among Nigerians for many years now is that politics provide an opportunity for personal aggrandizement and little else.
There is very little doubt that Nigeria suffers from a crisis of confidence in public office and those who occupy them. This loss of confidence has long been the handiwork of the rampaging corruption and dysfunction that have eaten and continue to eat deeply into the fabric of the country for many years.

2023 presidential election and what it’s all aboutOver half of the time of my life I have spent outside of Nigeria. My individual economy is not tweaked tough by either the ugly or beautiful state of the Nigerian economy. A good or bad government in the country really makes not much difference to many I know because they dwell abroad. To many Nigerians who have made America, the United Kingdom, or any other nation outside of Nigeria home; whatever happens in Nigeria is que sera; sera. The shoddiness of the Nigerian economy, or the decrepit state of safety and security only affects them when they travel home. And many I know don’t have to travel to Nigeria. They’ve not done so in ages. But we have never ceased to pray and hope for the best for our nation. We discuss and debate Nigeria just because of the undying love we have for that country. Several times, I have attempted to slaughter the love in my heart because of gory glitches we sporadically run into. But, killing Nigeria in our hearts and minds is not just possible. Who and who not is president, and where and where not he is from, have not been the determining factors for the expression of that love that has been in existence before some of these so-called leaders were conceived in their mothers’ womb. Nigeria is home.
