I said this but some greedy people will never agree, this western democracy has been turned into sth else in Africa.

In Africa since nepotism, tribalism, marginalization and winner takes all is the order of the day, y not rotate it.

So everybody can do their own.

Nota where one set of people have made up their mind to rule with the intention of bettering the lives of only their tribes people.

sad Truth be told democracy wasn't designed for Africa. Naturally an African man has an entitlement mentality, give an African man a cup of tea he would drink the tea and seize the cup. An African man would turn power into a tool for oppression. An African man has no respect for institution as long as it doesn't favor him. An African man would turn laws into what suites man, he would bend the constitution to favor him. An African man believes power is a right forgetting it is a privilege. In short Africa man is worse than a bloody white Racist.
Democracy is not designed. Majority carries the vote in nature. You cannot rule as a dictator or monarch without Majority of soldiers behind you.

Democracy is not designed. It exists naturally. Majority carries the vote in every form of govt. You cannot rule as a dictator or monarch without Majority of soldiers behind you.

We are a nation of different people brought together by force. If Nigeria will still remain, then the only solution is regional leadership.


We have 37 regions already
If not 774
We are just lazy and un serious

We can divide to 3 regions . North ,south and west.. each region will have a prime minister( acting as senate President)heading each region. Then there will be a central head whom the regional head are are answerable to. Governors will still head their states under each regional leaders. The senate and judiciary chambers at federal level will be abolished in place of the regional heads. Simple something

As far as I’m concerned, military government is the best. It’s in the military government then that there’s huge scholarships for the less privileged people not to talk of good economy during the military era. Check online and search how the economy was booming during the military era in Nigeria politics, compare it to democracy system of government in Nigeria. Tinubu and APC will never help Nigeria in terms of economic growth, security issues, agriculture, health and education. They are just there to destroy the Nigeria system more and increase the level of corruption in their time. What obj said is 100% truths. Truths is bitter. Corruption in the civil service and political stakeholders in the government was at minimal level in the military system of government compared to democratic system of government. The level of going abroad for greener pastures was at minimal level during military government compared to wicked democratic government we are witnessing for more than 2 decades now. It’s very unfortunate situation in Nigeria democratic system of government.

So,you love the Dictators?
Sebi, you can talk on Wassup and Internet now, even on Television,so you don't value Freedom?
Why did Murtala Mohammed came to flush out the army at that time - Corruption!
You are free to go and call Putin-to make rooms for you,then you will be shipped to Siberia jungle- no Communication,No Press Conferences, statement,no partnerships,then you will know that Democracy is still the best form of govt!

lies and propaganda from the highest order here. Same military Government where there’s daily times newspaper, punch, tribune , Tell, leadership operating at maximum capacity then not to talk of NTA, Ait operating during the military leadership then. Freedom of speech wasn’t gagged during military government in Nigeria.

With the level of greediness nd corruption in the mindset of Nigerians. Separation will worsen things. After separation, the system will be controlled by cabals.

Those greedy bastard white guys knew too well from the beginning that democracy will never work in Africa, yet they merged different tribes with different cultures to create different countries..
Now ask your self why Belgium and France ain't one country ?
Austra Germany Liechtenstein and probably poland
Czech republic n Slovakia ?
Italy and Switzerland ?
Spain and Portugal ?
Even the ones that merged during Tito of Yugoslavia (croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina Slovenia ) and Soviet union all broke up because of they all share different view on politics
Mind you all the above countries share very similar culture and their languages ain't really different.
But they are all independent countries .
How African countries were created is the main reason Africa will forever remain a 3rd world .
Gbam! I always tell people that undoing the white man's hand in the creation of Nigeria is the first step toward freedom and development, but people are so hypnoptised not to be able to trace not too far history (both adult and youths). So blind you see dem shouting one naija, one naija like zombies, yet they remain in the system and unfavorable union complaining, while the most hopeless ones have same chants in their mouths "naija will be great and better". Kai ... mumu plenty for this country cheesy cheesy

It wont worsen anything... if you look toward a better future for coming children, that is the best thing to do. Cabals will even be easier to reach, not like now that they are hiding in faraway Abuja, Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna. You want revolution and yu think others with a strange and different language will follow you. If Hausa and Igbo connive together today (which of course aint possible), You think Yoruba will agree to push their son Tinubu outta the place? Look at Buhari's atrocities even in the north, did they sell their son to you people to topple? Same will happen If Igbo too dey power. But Imagine Yoruba alone as a country, even the revolution will be easier and quick because we are truly a people, same goes for igbo or Hausa.

This dirty orangutan was president from 1999 to 2007 and he is the reason why our elections are flawed today,he coined the phrase "do or die" in elections and refused to amend the military constitution that he was given,he used the army to terrorise his opponents and wanted to do a "godfatherism" style after he left the presidency,Mr letter writer from OTA.

Nothing will work with the level of corruption and wickedness in the land.

Perhaps instantaneous judgement from certain dieties could keep things in check.

Until then, forget it. The majority are too toxic and selfish to make the country work.

Most of the people criticising the government will do worse if they’re in power.

Everything stinks from top to bottom. Let’s not also forget the greedy hypocrites in the various religious institutions.


Very right. We have too much wrong mindset as a people.

Anything that didn't grow from inside out, will not serve you. A plant grows from the ground up, hence, it bears fruit. A chick hatches from an egg, hence, it brings forth life.

Western democracy is not from Africa, it was imposed by external colonialists, and it will never serve you. How the people who collected power over the Western handover accept this deal baffles me.

If Mao of China hadn't overthrown the KMT in 1949, China would be as dysfunctional as India, they would be the largest democracy, a useless title that has no tangible result in the lives of everyday Chinese.

Democracy is the reason why external powers can influence internal policies, through the IMF, the World Bank, and their Charity organizations. They will sponsor a goat, and give him media coverage to destroy his country, Ukraine as an example.

And truly democratic leaders will be killed, take Gadaffi, Sankara, and Lumumba as an example. Democracy is a scam.

I repeat, democracy is a scam. Africa will never grow under it. NEVER>
