iwaeda:It is not working in Africa but it will NEVER work in this contraption called Nigeria. Our crudeness with foreign religious bigotry and ethnic bigotry will always suffocate any hope of it working. We must completely tinker with the entraption called Nigeria. |

OBJ Always speaking from both sides of his Mouth. It was cool when you were Elected and you even schemed for a Third Term. This Western Lackey sef, his Western Masters will just be looking at him with one kain eye now. |

If not for Western democracy OBJ might have been executed . The problem is not the type of government but the problem is with the people that is running the government and Nigeria's democratic woes started since when Obj used Maurice Iwu to rig elections in the early 2000s till the extent that Yaradua had to condemn the process that made him the president. There is nothing wrong with Western democracy it is the likes of OBJ that flawed it ![]() |

iwaeda: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 . |

Suffering, Poverty, no jobs, no foods, high inflation, high cost of living is the product of their democracy. Military government is the best. I will support what obj said here. The so called democracy breeds corruption than military system of government. |

It's not working at all |

| Re: Western Democracy Not Working For Africa – Obasanjo by femi4: 2:58pm On Nov 20, 2023 |
iwaeda:No wonder he wanted the third term. You cannot condemned what you didn't practice in the first place. What we have in Nigeria and most of other African countries is Selectocracy |

You were also intoxicated by the same power. |

A good military leader is better than all the useless civilian presidents Nigeria has had so far. Youthful exuberance failed IBB and OBJ as military leaders. They had the best opportunity then to fix Nigeria for good ala Singapore. Especially IBB. He regrets it till today. The worst aspect of democratic rule in Nigeria is that wasteful SENATE and HOUSE OF REPS. It should be scrapped. |

Watcharena:Libyans enjoys ghadaffi styles of government, Infact their economy was the best then until USA 🇺🇸 military overthrew Ghadaffi and his government then. Libyans make used of their oil resources to develop their country. Unlike in Nigeria under democratic government, it’s from suffering to poverty to inflation to importations to security crisis and so on. Military Government is still the best. |

Militocracy is The Best , Most Appropriate, & Suitable Africa |
