Democracy Is Dead by kotv: 7:32pm On Sep 27, 2018
For anyone who still believe democracy is still alive in Nigeria, it should be clear to your eyes it is not. With what happened with the Osun election, it should be clear to your eyes that APC now controls INEC. Stop wasting your time asking people to collect PVC and vote. Please everyone seek visa and leave. For Godsake escape to a better country. Even other African countries is better. There are several African countries we can get into without Visa. Nigeria is a failure. There is no chance of it ever improving. If you're smart, waste your time seeking visa or citizenship of other countries instead of wasting your time collecting PVC to vote out a dictatorship party. We live in a dead country. Escape while you can because it's is now obvious Nigeria is on the slope to become the next North Korea.

Democracy dead?.... Was there ever a time it was alive in Nigeria?.... Can you give an example of a timeline when Nigeria ever had a functional democracy?

Oh! how come so many people just noticed this recently simply because the 'deadness' isnt favourable?... Could this be self inflicted amnesia?....

Are you saying what transpired is actually democratic?
They lost an election and declared it inconclusive. The rerun of the said election, people were initimdated, a police officer was videod refusing a man to vote, only those with white handkerchief, those who's vote were bought were allowed in, among other things.

If you like listen to my advice. If not, continue staying.

2015 election was free and fair. APC preached change, not the same corruption. Instead what you brought was worse than before. It's sad you people preached change but yet continuously compared your act to the past. Was your party voted to continue the same act or were you voted in to make an improvement?

"Democracy is dead" "Democracy is dead"!! It died since Obasanjo, and they Atiku's and Saraki's you are canvassing for, were also accomplices. Democracy managed to wake up small during Gej and died again in this regime. Nigeria is a jungle you have to fight and take what belongs to you period.

No single election has been free and fair 100% in Nigeria. There will always be sporadic cases of irregularities here and there. The same 2015 election you talk about had widerspread irregularities in places like Rivers, Kano and some other locations. Since 2015 till date, it's also been the same thing, elections have generally been fair, but there are still sporadic cases of irregularities like what was observed today. What we saw today was totally expected considering how desperatr politicians of both parties were. In summary, all I'm driving at is that conduct of elections in general have improved (it's not getting worse as you claim at all), but we aren't still there yet.

Democracy is dead because PDP lost Osun? When they were rigging their own and getting away with it for 16 years, why didn't democracy die?
