Nigeria Before 1999 And Democracy by Jokerman(op): 5:43am On Nov 12, 2023
How true was this?

Before 1999, there was nothing like Fulani herdsmen or bandits.

There was nothing like Boko Haram.

There was nothing like Niger-Delta militants.

There was nothing like unknown gun men.

Nigerians don't pay taxes to go to their farms.

You could travel everywhere in Nigeria without fear of kidnappers or ritual killers.

There was nothing like sectionalism, tribalism and open nepotism.

Naira was matching dollar internationally.

The four refineries in Nigeria were working perfectly.

NAFCON fertilizer was producing at optimum capacity.

Michelin was producing tyres in Nigeria.

Dunlop was producing tyres in Nigeria.

Textile and garment factories were striving in Kano.

Maiduguri is one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria.

Calabar, onne, Warri and port Harcourt sea ports were operating in full capacity.

Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi were business heavens.

Nigerians sleep with both eyes closed.

There was relative peace all across the country.

Nigerians weren't japaing even under IBB and Abacha's government.

There was little or no presence of Aliko Dangote (monopoly)

But Democracy took all these away in just 24 years.

Copied!!!

I am not an indigene of any of those country. I was happier during military regime than now. People that suffered during military regimes are pro-democrazy activists who were being sponsored by the Western countries.

I don't need your advice. Thanks. I repeat we don't need democracy in Africa. In Nigeria we need a military leadership at state and federal levels with people's parliamentary system serving as legislators.
