Nigeria 20 Years Of Democracy Is A Ruse------- By Joshua Best Premie by joshua09(f): 7:24pm On Oct 30, 2018
Hello guys.
joshua best premie, from the prestigious Ambrose Alli University,

just came up with this write up

Is 20 years of democracy in Nigeria worth celebrating at all, considering the palpable failure in many areas by political office holders since the return of democracy in 1999?

To answer the question directly, the celebration of 20 years of democracy is as wrong as celebrating 100 days in office by the president and state governors. On May 29th, some governors even celebrate what they call 730 days in office. Sadly enough, they are not celebrating these empty days in office with their personal resources but with tax payers’ money. Any expenditure made by any public servant on celebration of numbers of numbers of days in office is a waste of public resource, this is the level of vision of those we have as our leaders. THEY ARE SHORT SIGHTED. They are free to celebrate 20 years of looting the nation’s treasury. Most people that have serve in government at any level in the past 20 years came to government poor and left noveau rich, because they never planned to be wealthy in life, they spent the money on scandalous ceremonies, buying both relevant and irrelevant articles.

For instance, why should a single public servant have 80 cars in a nation where I and the rest of the populace made do with less than one dollar a day? What makes him exceptionally great is that he is in power and can steal as much as he wants without anybody raising an eyebrow.
20 years of democracy in Nigeria is 20 years of misery for Nigerians and I. 20 years ago, a liter of petrol was N19 today its over 147 officially but in the south east and south-south, it is cost from 175 upward, these are the two regions that have oil and gas. 20 years ago the inflation rate was at a single digits, but today, we experience galloping inflation. 20 years ago, a bag of cement was less than N500 but today, it is between N2,570 and 2,550 depending on the make. So what are they celebrating? Is it unemployment of our youth who are dropping out of school to a hopeless future? Is it bad road that they are celebrating, or non-creation of infrastructure? 20 years ago, Nigeria was generating over 3,500 maga watts of electricity but at the end of Obasanjo tenure, it slumped to about 2,000 mega watts. Is this what a nation should celebrate?

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE CAUSE OF NON-PERFORMANCE?
