@elnathan_john Is how the society is structured and the educational system has reinforced this practice. Not just politicians, but religious leaders, sports men, musicians etc. it's like the average Goldesian is perpetually looking for who to hero worship.
Nigerians do not know how to have normal connections to public figures. They are trapped in unhealthy parasocial relationships with politicians. Once a Nigerian has accepted a politician as their god and personal savior they lose all sense.
Do you want a public servant or a king? A politician you can hold accountable or a prophet who you kneel before and fellate?
Politicians are not your friends. They are not your gods. They are not your saviors. They should be working for you and should always be challenged, especially when you are voting for them.

@Akaniimoh Especially you say "Ibibio" and they say Igbo. The way Yoruba and Hausa langugue dominates the smaller ethnic groups is not same in our region, I guess that's why.
If I had a dollar for every time someone said I was Igbo after I told them I’m from Akwa Ibom, I for don retire by now. This is what happens when you teach “3 major tribes” in schools from primary level
