Igbo Presidency Will Be As Useless As Yoruba And Fulani Presidency Have Been

As an Igbo man, I have never seen an Igbo man become President in my life time, and most likely I never will(Thats discussion for another day). But in the last 25 years, I have seen two Yorubas' become President, Obasanjo and Tinubu, and two Fulani's become, Yaradua and Buhari.These 4 men were at the helm of affairs in Nigeria for a combined 20 years out of the last 25 years. But all 4 men have one common denominator, Nigeria has gone from bad to worse during their watch. Nigeria has generally gotten worse in the last 25 years since it returned to civilian rule in 1999.For my fellow Igbos who would one day want to see one of us become President, this is not a bad thing, but bear in mind one thingNo Nigerian President can ever do well, none has ever done well, regardless of their ethnic group. Nigeria is structured to fail, no matter where the President comes from.A Yoruba man bought Dollar at less than N100 under Obasanjo, the same Yoruba man is today buying Dollar under Tinubu at N1,500. Tell me what Yoruba Presidency did for that Yoruba man?A Fulani man who bought a bag of Rice at N4,000 under Yaradua needed 10 times that amount to buy the same bag under another Fulani man called Buhari. Did Fulani Presidency do anything for him?Lets be wise about Presidency, there are more important things than that
