Is this democracy worth celebrating?
The first statement from the Punch Newspaper this morning reads, “As the country marks Democracy hDay, most Nigerians are trapped in a cheerless, miserable existence.” I ask you, what is worth celebrating in a practice that’s failed woefully? Do we celebrate What’s not working? I fear not.
The only thing in this country that’s united is the unionism in the politicians for their personal gains, yet the masses live comfortably in this hell dungeon trying to survive each day with grumblings.
What hope is in Nigeria’s Democracy?
Nigerians have little hope in democracy practices as it had failed in past years, from it inception we have little to enjoy from been democratic. Do the votes count? We all hope for a free and fair election in 2023 , as the citizens are ready to make their votes count.
We as a citizen have been failed and we have failed our children, it’s time we all fight for our rights, as we step out to vote and make our votes count in the coming election.
Nigeria Democracy.
To work properly , democracies require this kind of broad agreement across many . Democracies delegate core aspects of decision making to ordinary citizens , and to politicians and parties who struggle for citizens support.
The economy is in decadence, and despite our bumper oil revenues been overturned thrice; infrastructure is still as miserable as ever.
Nigeria is ranked the 11th most wretched place on earth to live in, despite having the highest out-of-school population in the world we scored low on every human development index, Our democracy is tormenting. The world’s 12th most fragile state, perched precariously at the edge of state failure.

It didn’t work from inception it’s led us where we are. Next year it would be 30 years after, let’s make it work, it’s time to destroy what’s been destroying us. Often quoted, “The journey without direction is wasted effort.”
Truthfully, we have come to the understanding of things and with clarity we can make this country work.
Step out of your comfortable zone, it’s a hell, it only looks as though it’s a bakery, because you’ve been deprived the right to live, you’ve struggled to survive. Live and let’s live with peace and harmony.
Go get you PVC, vote wisely, with your vote decide the next phase of our democracy. Three decades of failure, Nigeria democracy is nightmarish.
We’ve the power to live our dreams in this country.
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely. Auguste Rodin
