If Igbos will loose more,yorubas and hausafulanis would have join hand and push Igbos out of Nigeria.



They didn't fought Igbos for three year because they love Igbos and don't want them to loose.



Fact.

A mother is strong, a queen is strong and the vagina is one of the strongest creation. When you refer to yourself as a KING, it means you subconsciously think being a queen isn’t good enough.

Blue3k:
Highlight the failings of the ruling party and show alternative solutions. Alot of opposition parties fail i my opinion because nobody knows what they support because of bad branding. Lastly focus on flipping seats off year elections to build momentum.



Talk to your fellow citizens. Get in contact with political figure tell them how to solve x. 1 issue I have is with the FG is they dont mail documents to people. I dont understand why we have NIPOST if they can't be trusted to deliver drivers licenses, passports, voter cards etc.

There's a better chance getting the desired answers if you come out open...

On your project or research or assignment, I doubt if you'll ever make your reference in respect to nairaland.

I would have given you my own answers.... Ideas are golds and you don't just get it at a plata...

CandiceJay:
Democracy as it out to be


It's a "people's government". In a sane democratic government, the people elect representatives and the decisions and actions taken by those constituted authorities are supposed to be for the interest of the majority while still respecting the opinions of the minority. That's one of the characteristics of Democracy.

Also is the existence of a constitution/ the rule of law which sees the constitution as
supreme. The constitution is supposed to guide all actions. So in meeting the interest of the majority, authorities are not supposed to work outside of the law. It's the checking factor in play to prevent abuse of power.

A periodic free and fair election- Being a people's government, the people get to decide who represents them over a period of time and if their representative isn't meeting up to expectation, we elect someone else.

Existence of Rights- For all (majority plus minority). So even if I don't belong to the majority that voted in a ruling party, my rights should still be respected and upheld.

Public opinion as well. If not, how exactly are the people supposed to be heard Could be through the media, peaceful protests and demonstrations...

There's separation of powers amongst others...


Democracy is meant to serve, it's supposed to be beautiful, give the people a voice, and it's supposed to unite a people. But this is all "as it ought to be" not "as is practiced in Nigeria".

orisa37:
Good Question.

Others are Police(Social security. The basis of Fundamental human Rights ascertainment, maintenance and protection)

And RESOURCES (Finding and expending all available measure of VALUE RELATIONSHIP. This is Economic security).

ELECTIONS is Political DEVOLUTION of AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES for selecting, appointing and electing REPRESENTATIVES to grassroots local Government and STATES.

The essence is to ensure that everyone is involved.
