Nigeria's brand of democracy for me have not really made an appreciable development and impact in the lives of the people especially when we juxtaposes the enormous resources nature have given us and the human capital that abounds in our society.

The greatest challenge is the question of leadership!

We are blessed by God with everything that makes a State great in the Committee of nations but those who are leading us are selfish and should not in the first place be called leaders.

Or how can you justify twenty one years of democracy:

1. Without a credible electoral processes.

2. 21 years of democracy with flagrant disregard to court rulings.

3. 21 years of democracy with consistency in the widening dichotomy between the Rich and Poor, North and South, Christians and Muslims......

4. 21 years of democracy with consistent abuse of human rights by the State and its Agents.

5. 21 years of democracy with massive political, economic, religious, social, ethical, moral bankruptcy, and financial crimes.

6. 21 years of democracy with disregards to the sacredness of human lives with impunity.

7. 21 years of democracy without improvement in the standard of living. Nigeria, the "headquarters of world poverty".

8. 21 years of democracy with dilapidated infrastructure ranging from Hospital, Schools, roads.....,

9. 21 years of democracy without stable power supply.

10. 21 years of democracy with retired military generals who are repackaged in suits and "agbada" are at the helm of affairs with their stooges.

11. 21 years of democracy where the leaders only remembers the electorates during elections.

12. 21 years of democracy where the guilty to crimes are freed while the guilt less are in imprison.

13 .21 years of democracy where the Honorables are not honest to the people who they represent.

14. 21 years of democracy where the Judiciary are not independent of the executive.

15. 21 years of democracy where the Legislature is a rubber stamp to the executive.

16. 21 years of democracy where the Executive always renege with the Social Contract it had with the people.

17. 21 years of democracy where the youths are good in thuggery other than being gainfully employed.

18. 21 years of democracy where the leaders since independence in 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are still in power.

19. 21 years of democracy where the Media has been gagged and only made to report what pleases the government.

20. 21 years of democracy where the insignificant few cabal decides the fate of over 200 million people.

21. 21 years of democracy where the Leaders does not know the meaning of "democracy". They make this democracy to walk with its head rather than its foot.

We are blessed by God Almighty with everything that makes a State great in the Committee of nations but those who are leading us are selfish and should not in the first place be called leaders.

However, until the philosopher kings becomes the leaders or the leaders becomes philosophers shall we collectively say to ourselves that we have arrived.

Other than this the miseries of the masses will continue to abound.

I therefore uses this medium to appeal to the conscience of all both leaders and followers to think of humanity in what ever they do.

Only when we consider the goodness of our neighbours while pursuing our own ends shall there be peace, unity and progress in our land.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
