@Poster, those pictures have more to do with the Nigerian people than it does with Democracy.

With democracy Nigerians have high expectations on governance and improvement on infrastructures but what did we get? Decay on all aspect of living as a normal beings.

Good people, great Nation, Bad leaders.

We are not the only poor country in the world. This could be India. Our military rulers brought us to this mess. Instead of letting us decide our own fate through the ballot, they stole everything. Abacha alone took over 3 billion US dollars worth into his Swiss accounts.

Democracy, even this democracy is better than the best military regime we've had.

Kobojunkie:

Wait just a minute!!

What good people? You mean the millions of Nigerians out there who are themselves corrupt and willing to cast down the next man so they can step over him to get to a piece of the "National pie" are good people?? Roflmao!!!!

Oh yeah!!! It seems second nature is to THROW blame over to the leaders rather than admit we are just as horrible as those from amongst us we have allowed to climb up to leadership positions, while many of those at the bottom are clawing their way up as we speak.

Fela was right, na demonstration of craze we dey practice for naija!


When everyone is propelled by GREED, you get pictures like these- take a trip to Nigeria and everyone from the uniformed ones to even the baggage handlers want some form of bribe or another because it is what everyone does and "man must chop", it trickles down.
Armed robbers (renting weapons from?) writes to inform a whole neighborhood they will strike so and so day and do most of the times, I don't see that happening anywhere in the west, heck, we will be happy for the notice here and wait for them but in Nigeria where you can't even get a hunting riffle let alone have choices, what do you expect?
It is easy to sit in the west and ask why they don't do something about it, but how
I don't care what type of government, it should not be like this period,

kokoA:

I beg to disagree sir. You have no rigth to generalize wrong doings considering the fact that we are up to 120 million in number. How many Nigerians do you know personnally? The fact that a few does that does not mean that we all will do it if given the oppurtunity. The Ngozi Okonjos and Ezekwesilis of this world to name but a few are Nigerians. Ain't they? May I ask you to withdraw this statement please?

When will nigerians stop seeing the military as the only reason for the stinking state of nigeria.

It's over 9 years after military rule and we are still placing all the blame on the military. Apart from the fact that the military regime was totalitarian, authoritarian i'll say that the military performed better than the present crop of cabals that call themselves democratically elected officials.

fayahsoul:

This is what u get when a people are scared to die for a cause because they love their pathetic lives so much.

Even those who live in habitats only suitable for swine are scared of a revolution.

I guess they don't deserve any better.

To a nigerian that has lived all his life in nigeria these pics might not mean much until he ventures out of the country
