Keep a date with this thread!

From previous topic: https://www.nairaland.com/8437691/democracy-dead-nigeria
Nigeria exactly 26 years ago transitioned from Authoritarian military rule to Democratic Civil Rule but we do face challenges.

As a nation, Nigeria like other countries of the world faces challenges but concerted efforts must be made by both the government and the governed to make democracy work in Nigeria.
That's Patriotism and Loyalty! God bless Nigeria.

It's less than 24hrs to 29th May, 2025 marking 26 years of return to Democratic Governance in Nigeria after prolonged military rule!

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) ruled for 16 years before the All Progressive Party (APC) took over after a coalition of progressives ideal with a faction of the PDP ! Today opposition , some critics and political analysts had alluded to the fact that democracy is dead in Nigeria!
But is democracy really dead in Nigeria?
The following infographics, highlights some indices and countries globally and Africa where Democracy had been buried.
This series compiled by Calvox Datalytics Solutions (Good Governance Initiatives) will be concluded tomorrow.

rinzaugustine:
Everyone knows tinubu have waged a full scale war on our opposition, innocent Nigerians, institutions etc using INEC , judiciary, police , army , DSS while thieves like Ganduje , akpabio, Wike, other corrupt elements around him walk around freely ….bandits, terrorists, killers, high way armed robbers are now more emboldened to unleash impunity on Nigerians causing innocent law abiding citizens live in fear… Supreme Court in their judgement granted Wike group prayers they never asked for , unprecedented in anywhere in the world to see such brazen corruption leaving the country in collapse but evil doesn’t last forever and will come to an end in a little while as it has always been…spits!

wunmi590:


So yahaya bello have finally been exonerated from his corruption scandal, he's now a saint, because he's in APC, nawa ooo...

y
So because he's facing prosecution, he can't fight others defaming him?

LagosOrigin:
Always talking like a drunk

You claimed that you know road but Peter Obi humiliated you in Lagos so much that it took the help of the INEC chairman to rig the election to save you shame

INEC should conduct a free and fair election and see if Peter Obi won't defeat tinubu before 2pm

According to your own corrupt mind?

Until Obi stopped parading himself as a saint and not part of those that brought Nigeria to this level of despair, the bashing will continue!

Omoawoke:
It is shameful!

Something is definitely wrong with the black man

Misplaced expectations! Please what's the state or local government job?

Challenge Buhari? People that doesn't know the job Buhari supposed to do!
Your state or at most LGA Executives are saddled with such!
