Nigerians use this catchphrase then, “this election will favor me and my family”, what about the rest of the 200 million people, what should happen to them if it favors only you and your family.
Nice and very detailed explanation of the situation 👏🏾👏🏾

[Tadé Makinwa @MackOmotade]

Whenever Nigerians gather to discuss the country’s problems, one phrase is almost guaranteed to come up:

“We just need a functional system.”

I hear it everywhere. In interviews. On social media. In taxis. At conferences. In political conversations. At some point, I stopped listening to the phrase itself and became more interested in the people using it.

So one day, I asked someone a simple question:

“What exactly is a functional system?” And he couldn’t give an answer.

That conversation proved that many people use the phrase because it sounds intelligent, not because they truly understand what it means.

A system is not magic. A system is simply a structure made up of rules, institutions, processes, incentives, consequences, and people who consistently make those things work.

A functional system is one where the rules are largely predictable, institutions perform their responsibilities, excellence is rewarded, incompetence has consequences, and the average citizen understands that there are standards that cannot be negotiated.

Now let me say something uncomfortable.

Many Nigerians say they want a functional system, but the truth is, many are not yet prepared to live in one. If you think I’m lying think about it.

The same people who complain about corruption but become excited when they know someone “at the top” who can bend the rules for them, they are also the same people who will make excuses for fraudster and yahoo yahoo.

They criticize politicians for nepotism but call their uncle to secure jobs they are not qualified for. They want law and order until the law applies to them. They want accountability until they are the ones being held accountable.

That is not a desire for a functional system, that is a desire for a system that works only in your favour.

In a truly functional system, you do not drive against traffic because you are in a hurry. You do not skip queues because you know someone. You do not evade taxes while demanding world-class infrastructure. You do not bribe your way out of offences. You do not submit fake certificates. You do not forge documents. You do not throw refuse into drainage and then complain about flooding. You do not expect electricity without paying for it. You do not ignore building regulations and then blame government when buildings collapse.

A functional system is expensive, not necessarily because of money, but because of discipline. It demands that everyone, rich or poor, connected or unknown, submits to standards. It inconveniences everybody equally, and that is why many societies appear orderly, not because they have angels living there, but because the cost of breaking the rules is often higher than the benefit.

Sadly, many of the people who loudly demand a functional system have built their own success around dysfunction. Some businesses exist only because of these loopholes , some careers thrive because merit is absent, some fortunes were built through regulatory loopholes.

Ironically, if Nigeria suddenly became completely functional tomorrow, many people currently celebrating their success would struggle to maintain it.

This is why I believe our conversation must mature. Yes, government has enormous responsibilities, institutions must improve, and leadership matters.

But systems are also strengthened, or weakened by the everyday behaviour of citizens.

A nation where millions of people constantly look for shortcuts cannot magically produce world-class institutions.

The same values that destroy homes eventually destroy organisations. The same attitudes that weaken organisations eventually weaken nations.

A functional Nigeria will require functional citizens.

Perhaps we should start asking:

“Are we becoming the kind of people who can sustain a functional system?”

Because systems do not exist independently of people. People build systems. People protect systems. And ultimately, people either strengthen them, or destroy them.

“You people”??

I have no idea what you’re yapping about.

If I speak about Islam, it’s either I do a knowledge-based discussion or I don’t do it at all.

It is sunnah because the Prophet ﷺ did it??

Where did you get that from?

There’s a Hadith which says that the Prophet ﷺ
