Democracy Cant Work In A Multicultural Society by Nobody: 3:22pm On May 18, 2019
Democracy cant work in a multi-cultural society because democracy is all about the will of the majority, look at Spain, India, Belgium, Nigeria and many multicultural societies that practice democracy, you will notice that democracy is destabilizing those countries because the majority ethnic groups always end up ruling.

lets come home and see the damage democracy has done to us, it has brought insecurity, minority agitating for independent and self-governance, poverty, death, and untold suffering, this is what democracy does in a multicultural society like us, it reflects the will of the majority culture which is hausa/yoruba. It does not serve to integrate other minority cultures. democracy in Nigeria has caused suspicions, resentments, and mistrust because of the perception that one culture is unfairly dominating all of the minority cultures within a nation.

the only system that can successfully unite a multi-cultural society like Nigeria is an authoritarian dictatorship, not democracy

O.p, I guess you meant true federalism, our version has been quasi federalism that have negated all notion of democracy.

Nigeria is not a real democracy to begin with. We are democracy in name only.

Please which history taught you that. Which country in the world is more diverse in every sense than USA. You are living in the same country with people that share almost similar history and culture, but countries like USA havr every race and culture in it and yet... please identify your problem, for your info racially homogenous conturies have never done better.

You have a good Heart. That's a good Start to understanding this Buharicracy.

Law is give & take, so all laws are contractual. Laws everywhere provide for Minority Interest that is very well respected. That it might not be Monkey de work, Baboon de chop, we call it Democracy not Autocracy nor Majoritycracy.

The Feudal system which the Fulanis are forcing on Nigeria now is a satanic form of RobinHoodcracy, whereby they take Riches & Wealth from the South and Christians to give to Almajiris and Muslims in the North.

Muslims & Moslems don't really know Islam. Islam means Worship God in The Spirit of Born Againcracy.

The Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of operating The Exclusive List of the 1999 Constitution, is to ensure The Inclusion of all Religion, Ethnic and Tribal considerations.

anyway, the british left power with the northerners, the igbos from NCNC join a coalition with NPC a northern party and were ruling together nationally thus tafawa and azikwe, the western party under awolowo was left behinde the jolly was good until an igbo coup killed both northern and western leaders events led to events which later lead to a civil war which the igbo suffer, now the hausa saw a good partner in the yoruba, (an enemy of my friend is also my enemy)

it seems history can still repeat itself, my point is this democracy is fluid and does not share power equally or give minorities equal rights if only help in protecting majority rule, the more number you have as a group, the more power you have, thus hausa will still be the dominate rule for many years in nigeria because of how the country is being set up, it has nothing to do with tribalism rather with reality.
