communism in theory is the dictatorship of the poor.

in a communist government, the government controls everything, all businesses, all trades, all education, all people, and most importantly all land, all money, and all means of production (mines and factories)

it then distributes the wealth evenly so that everyone gets a fair share. There's not market competition, and there's no such a thing as rich and poor, everyone is equal, can't go up or down.

in true communism the 'state' doesn't exist, therefore nigeria would be abolished. 'culture' is also abolished as well because communists believe its a set of primitive means the rich use to control the poor

religion would be silenced or ended
tribal cultures and practices would be ended



such a thing would NEVER come close to even seeming like a good idea in nigeria because nigerians value money, religion and their culure more then anything in the world and those are the only 3 things you can get a migerian to die for. also, no communist government has been successful. the lack of growth causes economies to collapse and instead of everyone being equal, everyone is extremely poor except memebrs of the communist party who are extremely rich and powerful and there's no challenging them.

Dictatorship of the poor doesn't sound too good for me. It actually sounds like Hell.

I rather have a Meritocracy.
