In summary↓↓↓↓↓

First Lesson:It is clear to every discerning person that only democratic rule is
now acceptable to Nigerians.

Second Lesson:The people have learnt that those in positions of power at the highest level may not be trusted to respect the laws of the land or the oath of
office they took.

Third lesson: Nigerians have become very
conscious of the implications of the health of
their leaders for the stability of the polity.

Fourth lesson: that any Nigerian child
regardless of the manner of extraction can
aspire to the highest office in the land

Fifth Summary:Nigerians have taken to
heart the fact that the people have the power to
change a sitting government at all levels and
that the power of incumbency even at the centre
is at the mercy of the electorate.

Sixth lesson:This is probably the most
important. Nigerians have learnt after 16 years
of democratic rule not to place implicit trust in
politicians without asking for accountability.

Personally, Your signature is more than the six lessons.

A lot of Nigerians are excited by the mere mention of the concept DEMOCRACY, as though democracy in itself is tantamount to progress and development.

Whereas, there are some school of thought that opines that democracy is not equal to development. Inotherwords, country needs to adopt the system that best works for it and which also home grown.

As a matter of fact , the freedom and popular participation Democracy offers the people can be eroded by a long spell of misrule and Mal- administration.
Nonetheless, it remains the most popular form of government worldwide and not an end in itself but a means to an end.

I am partly of that school..
Let the people choose what works or what they're used to
Adopting an 'alien' system without understanding will only lead to abuse and eventually the end product will be more or less a distortion of the form of the system.

The question I always ask, Is democracy for we esp, west Africans??

Am not too sure about the bolded. Some folks still prefer to see the world through they eyes of some other people.

This ugly man has learnt nothing. And he still believes that Jonathan has a PhD!

Good points.

Mr. Abati should only be talking from the naughty corner. All this logic without sense shows why he fit in perfectly with the previous administration. The man should just apologise to Nigerians and get off his high horse.
