Our Democracy Is Too Expensive, Leaving No Benefit For The Citizenry by mediainc: 8:38am On Jan 18, 2022
Yes, democracy is the best form of government for now, but when democracy becomes too expensive and gives no benefits to the people and country, then that democracy is counter productive.

We must reduce cost of governance and cost of elections in Nigeria, otherwise our democracy will become a curse rather than a blessing.

Today we are crying, borrowing money up and down, and oil is no more feasible as a commodity internationally...we as a people must have the courage to reduce cost of governance, and allow those that want to serve come forth, otherwise, this ship of state won't sail too far.

Same old complain... But the same foolish we as a people keep making the same mistakes and expecting different results...

OP you keep telling us what should be done but u don't mention how it should be done...

I was just wondering if with the way the country is divided amongst itself if we can achieve anything meaningful in this country

Nigerians can debate it, make input, but I think it is a big problem.
