May 29th of every year is known as Democracy Day in Nigeria.This was birthed in 1999, following the successful transfer of power from the military to the President Olusegun Obasanjo-led civilian government. Since that fateful 29th May, 1999, May 29th of every year was set aside as a day to celebrate Nigeria's democracy.

Packed with events,one of the highlights has always been the president of the country addressing the nation, and gracing several other Democracy Day celebrations.That has been the order of the day, until of course today, May 29th,2017, when it has become obvious that the president of Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari will be out of the country, lying in a hospital bed in London, probably oblivious of whatever celebrations/activities that would be going on today.

It is not like Buhari suddenly left the country to attend to a medical emergency that suddenly came up, the man has literally not been able to carry out his duties as president, since January of this year, due to sickness.That he has been allowed to continue to occupy the seat, is what a lot of people find hard to understand. Clearly, that a man has been too sick to carry out his duties since January eloquently says that he is now incapacitated and therefore should have since relinquished his position in the interest of the country he and his promoters say he loves so much. However for some reasons, this "great" love he has for Nigeria has made it impossible for him to let Nigeria move forward, by recusing himself.

Buhari and his promoters' hold on Nigeria is asphyxiating, and it does appear that the plan is to choke the country to death. Nothing else is acceptable to them.

So today, as Nigerians wake up to May 29th, it is clear that today will not be Democracy Day again.There is no democracy when the tenets of democracy are impudently flouted.This country cannot claim to be a democracy when a few men have foisted ...well...an absentee president on them. It was probably Femi Fani-Kayode who so aptly called what Nigeria practises, Corpsocracy.

In the spirit of the current government being practised in Nigeria today then, it is only right that its citizen are wished "Happy Corpsocracy Day", in commemoration of the new form of government that they have so sheepishly accepted.....
