DEMOCRACY DAY...? (cont'd)
Today in Nigeria, politicians have perfected the act of rigging elections...
Yes!!!
Technology was supposed to come in restore hope and order, even at that, politicians have successfully manufactured glitches that acts where and when the powers wants it to, while the slogan, "Go to court" has come to stay, as politicians have again, railroaded the Judicial processes to point that once declared a winner at the polls by whatever means, "burden of proof" will make absolutely impossible to upturn that decision, so long as the victor belongs to the right(wrong) camp.
Now is that a definition of Democracy worth marking or celebrating?
What dividends are the Nigerian masses enjoying today, for their efforts in sustaing Democracy?
The only tangible benefit which could affect every citizen irrespective of class and status was successfully archived with the three magic words "Subsidy Is Gone"... And ever since, hope has been struggling to be get a right of place in the lives of the common people, who sacrificed to entrench democracy...?
I don't want to recount about the untold hardship Nigerians have been encouraged to endure, in the wake of Renewed Hope.
But Today, in Abuja Municipal Area council, the home base of A*o Rock the seat of power, from where the most powerful presidency in the world operates from, public primary schools, primary health care centers have been closed for months due to skrike from workers, over minimum wage payments...!
And we are encouraged to celebrate Democracy...?
Pls tell me, what do you think?
How do you think Nigerians should restore hope in our Democratic systems?
Pls share your thoughts on the comments section...🙏
God Bless NIGERIA...!!!
