TRIBE on green RELIGION on white POLITICAL PARTY on gree

If someone in your tribe becomes the next president, what do YOU get? If someone in a particular tribe becomes president, what does the average human in that social group (tribe mate if I may) get? what advantage do they have over people of other tribes?

President Muhammadu Buhari is the current president of Nigeria, what advantage does the average Amina or Usman have over people from other tribes?

During President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s reign, what advantage did the average Akumoere or Atoni have over people from other tribes?
During President Olusegun Obasanjo’s period, what advantage did the average Kemi or Segun have over people from other tribes?

In the Bible, Abimelech became judge over Israel because of his mother’s kinsmen "citizens of Shechem" what did he do to those very people, in the end?

Should tribe be the determinant of who you will be choosing to be the 2023 Nigerian president? you tell me!

Religion tends to be a delicate topic in Nigeria, it is sacred to the people and that is the reason politicians use it as a tool to manipulate people, the people who don’t understand what a belief or a system stands for, are usually slaves, to said belief or system. After all, half-truths have destroyed more than lies.

What better way to control the slaves than to use, the belief or system they are enslaved to? They claim a particular religion, do they practice it? do they stand for it to the fullest? will the religion they claim be the reason you will be voting for them?

Political party;what is a political party? what we currently practice in Nigeria, is it a political party or a technical group? let us move along, do the members have a say in how the president-elect will rule? let us make it simpler, does APC tell President Muhammadu Buhari how to rule and/or what to do? since we are still talking about the technical group in... sorry, politician party in Nigeria, when you support a political party does that make you a member of that political party? do supporters enjoy the same benefit as the members?

What should be the fundamental principle for choosing who we should vote for?

Too many questions, and very little answers. Should we pick the lesser evil among fewer candidates? or should we pick the best among 18 candidates?
Are you voting for the good of the nation or yourself? Why should you vote for who you will be voting for? If you are voting for the good of the nation, will this matter; tribe, religion or political party?
