I am of the opinion that when selecting a good leader in our country, we should consider their competency instead of their faith or ethnicity, especially in a multi-religious and multi-ethnic country like Nigeria.

Unfortunately, we do not often follow this principle, and I believe that this is one of the reasons why Africa is lagging behind. Do we ask for the faith of a doctor before we receive treatment? Do we consider faith when hiring a teacher to educate our children? In fact, many people were taught in school by teachers of different faiths, and some people even had teachers of other faiths who were the best teachers they ever had. We do not ask for the faith of a pilot before boarding a plane. So why should we consider the faith of a leader before voting for them in an "ideal" setting?

I am afraid that if we continue to appoint leaders based on faith rather than competence, we may fall into a "type 2 error."

However, I do not blame our people entirely. Our leaders are often unjust. Why should a leader appoint people to their cabinet based on religion rather than competency? Why would someone create a policy that would harm people of another religion? A good leader should be just and considerate to everyone, regardless of their faith. Why would a leader cite another university in their town when there is already a university there, and other towns do not have any? Is that not selfishness?

Our leaders should be just and realize that it is not fair to favor people from their own faith or tribe over others. I think there should be a policy that strictly punishes anyone who victimizes or discriminates against people based on their faith or ethnicity, especially in the public.

Without such policies, I am afraid that we may not be able to make progress. Many countries that we look up to give priority to competence and merit.

God bless Nigeria

Lukgaf, can you translate this to Hausa and send your brothers in the core Northern Muslim Nigeria?

I am sure you know why I said this.

We should translate to all languages my brother
It's everywhere.
Among all tribes
Among the two notable religions and much common among our leaders and religion. This will continue to create hatred among us.

To develop as a nation, we don't need this!

In an ideal scenario, why should you take my daughters and wives to court because they want to be using their Hijab? Why should you reject my job application because I'm not a Christian or Muslim?

Now I have you where I want you. I know how you guys think.

You actually enjoy the fact that the core Northern Muslim states would never vote a Christian, but you come down to the educated south to sway people with your fake 'objectivity'..

Lukgaf, in 1993 Christian voted Muslim-muslim ticket. Can you in all honesty as even a seemingly educated muslim vote a Christian-Christian ticket, talk more of the Muslim conservatives in the core largely illiterate Muslim north? Forget taqqiya and say the truth.

Well what you said is not entire true sir. This post was actually motivated by Oyo politics. In my own opinion, I think Seyi Makinde should be re-elected in Oyo state but people think otherwise because he was alleged to be favouring Christians than Muslims. I hope you get me?

Then you should have made it clear you were talking about Oyo, not many people care what happens there.

Next time, don't be verbose and unspecific in order to sway people.

This affects every state. You should know this?
