Why unity matters — and why it’s hard in Nigeria for decades disunity is the biggest weapon used against progress by politicians
But unity is difficult because:

Poverty makes 240 million Nigerians vulnerable to vote‑buying.

Ethnic and religious divisions are exploited by politicians for decades

240 million Nigerians don’t trust that change is possible. Hence the I don`t care attitude politicians have photo ops with same lies/slogans of what they would do in 100 days in the office once they are in office is all same excuses while they need to borrow loan from lMF

Young Nigerians are not organized under a single political movement.

This isn’t a moral failure — it’s a deliberate strategy used by those who benefit from the status quo.

What actually changes things Not slogans. Not anger. Not hope alone.
Structures change when 240 million Nigerians build counter‑structures.

Youth political organizing — Not just peaceful protests, but long-term political education and mobilization.

Building alternative parties or reforming existing ones — Without strong party structures, good candidates cannot win.

Community-level power — Change starts at local government, not only at the presidency.

Consistent voter turnout — Youth turnout is often low, which hands victory to established politicians. There is always intimidation from political thugs, police, military, Airforce, dss. efcc

Rejecting vote‑selling money rice/beans — This is the hardest but most crucial cultural shift for decades
