There is still some sanity somewhere.

Brendaniel:
The democracy practiced in Nigeria is flawed and not supposed to be used in Nigeria...

So to me it means that the Nigrian styled type of democracy may never work in Nigeria...

This is not a definition!

Let me explain something to you. You and I have discussed in the past, and even when we have disagreed, you have shown you have a brain and can use it. So please let us use our brains now. We might in the end be able to determine the sort of democracy that might benefit Nigeria or propose an alternative form of choosing those who rule us.

Define any type of democracy you understand, please.

Then define the sort of democracy you believe is being practiced in Nigeria.

They are all Jesuses! Apparently.

Brendaniel:
I have already answered you, but if you still want to go further with the question, let me ask, which type of democracy are you talking about, is it the type practiced in Nigeria?

Because I won't lie to you, to me right now, there are different types of democracies...

So I don't know the exact one you are talking about, please kindly be specific..

Define any type of democracy you understand, please.

Then define the sort of democracy you believe is being practiced in Nigeria.

Brendaniel:
I have answered you already...

No you haven't! Or answer again so we are clear.

Brendaniel, what does democracy mean to you?

Protesters are calling on the Government to take urgent action to reduce fuel costs, which they say have reached unsustainable levels and risk forcing businesses to close.

Mullally said: “I stand with my brother in Christ, his holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable.”

Start growing wings and learn to fly, because jet fuel is going to cost a whole lot more before this is over.

Europe has "maybe six weeks of jet fuel left", the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned.

Stocks would reach a tipping point in June if Europe was unable to replace at least half of its imports from the Middle East, the organisation said in a report this week.

Ivu people live long so that dia sufferings are long, so you are not to dhy soon. ...

By your own words we can tell you are suffering.

I think the Pope is conspiring with God.

But I do not expect dump worshippers to agree with either of them.

Can someone please educate the cretin and the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that the Declaration of Independence that declared "all men are created equal" in 1776 did not apply to the over 500,000 legally enslaved Black people in all 13 colonies that existed at the time, and that If not for progressives, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas himself might still be a slave today.

Thank you for attending to this matter.

Dtruthspeaker:
Ivu people live long so that your sufferings are long, so you are not to die soon.

Hard for you to understand that pissing every 2 hours is not suffering, and that you seem to be suffering and crying about it more than I do.

The only person I am obviously currently wasting my time with is you, Brendaniel, who refuses to answer a very simple question.

Brendaniel, what does democracy mean to you?

Brendaniel:
You claim most are learning and yet Nigeria is the way it is today?

Why are they still having bad leaders?

Secondly, the answer to your democracy question is not a direct one, if what they are practicing in Nigeria is what you call democracy, then I don't really believe in it anymore.

Except it is modified to suit the current situation of Nigeria.

Because, presently I'm beginning to feel you people are wasting your time with it.

newnigerdelta1:
Na owner dey spoil this country, wetin concern global,we have refinery's,dangote has refinery,we have the crude oil what are you now saying,

You have refinery, or Dangote has refinery now?

We still need to import crude oil for it because we can't get enough out of the earth.

Besides, with refined product at a premium worldwide, do you think Dangote must sell to Nigeria at a discount? Why?

achorladey:
Buda ways as usual on nairaland. I send my greetings.

Greetings to you too.

May all our eyes be opened.

Dtruthspeaker:
See, ph∅∅, you who ate knowledge, now you cusd to pissing every 2hours from spinal cos. You ain't seen nothing yet. Your spine is going to break but you would still be alive to see you have stomach cancer in addition

You must think pissing every 2hours from spinal is some sort of death sentence, lol, and that your own pathetic version of a god is worth considering.

Theawakensoul:
🌿 WHAT IF YOU’VE BEEN WORSHIPPING THE WRONG IDEA OF GOD?

Like, if one is worshipping the God who put Adam in a garden and told him not to nourish himself with knowledge, as opposed to the God who created humans in his own Image and told them to rule and subdue and multiply for which knowledge is required?

One would live as a naked ignorant slave instead of a master of all one surveys.

Brendaniel:
And since you started the educating, why hasn't it worked?

As in, why have you not been educated yet?

I think it's because you stubbornly refuse to learn, and are the minus 1 from the 75m. Thankfully, most are learning, unlike you.

Brendaniel, what does democracy mean to you?

Brendaniel:
So how do you want to make 75% of the voters to turn out?

By educating you!

Brendaniel, what does democracy mean to you?

Cultural loyalty?

Why not just call it the 'blind tribal loyalty' that it is?

Brendaniel:
So why hasn't your plenty worked in the so called democracy you believe in?

As in, why did 75% of eligible voters not bother to vote?

Reason is because you are not sufficiently educated enough yet, which I am trying to change by asking you again:

What does democracy mean to you?

Brendaniel:
If you really believe this basic type of democracy we are practicing in Nigeria is working, why is Nigeria the way it is today?

A better phrasing would be, do you believe democracy is working in Nigeria, instead of you assuming what you think I believe. So let me enlighten you.

About 100 million Nigerians were registered to vote at the last election that Tinubu won with less than 10 million votes, with the two other major contestants getting 6.5 million votes each.

Did the about 75 million Nigerians who sat on their asses refusing to vote make democracy work for themselves?

Brendaniel:
And why haven't you done anything about it through the so called democracy you believe in?

I am doing plenty about it just by engaging you. At the end of our discussion, I'm hoping you'd not be one of those 75 million who did not participate in democracy and are now crying because you are being misruled or at least ruled in such a way that does not seem to benefit you.

Now answer my question please.

What does democracy mean to you?

erico2k2:
DO not blame him too much, this is what l ack of education and exposure does. Broad spectrum of thinking is limited. They think we are all carers i n the Uk. Anyway we move

I think he is just trying to console himself.

If you give him the opportunity to be a carer in UK he'd likely jump at it.

Brendaniel:
I'm only asking you the question based on your words...,

The citizens are the government! We just don't understand that simple fact yet, and is why we talk of government as if it is imposed on us from Mars.

Government is how citizens organise and do for themselves. We Nigerians seem to however find it difficult to organise and work together, which is why we store our own poo on our own land, and bore our own water from under our own houses, and must generate our own electricity by ourselves for now, until we learn to organise and work together.

Your words...

That does not in any way mean you "organized your own country as the government you claim to be", and your lack of comprehension is shown by your question.

So, let's start from the basics to help you.

Pray tell, what does democracy mean to you?

helinues:
I just noticed the empty blank space on Nairaland page.

That space can still fit at least 4-5 adverts with an average banner.

Infact, the adverts at up can be premium while the one below average

So, this was your idea!

I happen to think that most Iranians have not forgotten the last time USA changed their regime, and they are far too smart to forget history and fall for dump's foolishness this time.

Are the Airline Operators of Nigeria aware this is global?
