[color=#ff0000]ARE WE TRULY IN A DEMOCARTIC REPUBLIC?

Waking up to the dawn of the bright day, as a happy but sad man, behold, it is the much acclaimed democracy anniversary. Thinking widely about the situation of things after 14 years of continuous democracy rule, I was left weeping for Nigeria.
The great philosopher, Plato, in his still provocative ‘republic’, a book he wrote in between 350BC-320BC proposed that there are five types of government: aristocracy(rule by the ‘best’ i.e. by experts who are specially trained in governance), timarchy(rule by those guided by their courage and sense of honor),oligarchy(rule by the wealthy minority),democracy(rule by the people as a whole-a ‘mob’ as Plato saw ) and tyranny(rule by a despot answerable to no one but himself).
Plato saw democracy as a rule by the mob, the masses, and the people. Democracy is as old as writing with ink. Thanks to the early Greeks who started it. The Greek word ‘demos’ means ‘people’ and ‘kraits’ which means ‘rule by’ together form the word democracy which means ‘rule by the people’. But the world is more familiar with Abraham Lincoln’s definition of democracy as the government of the people by the people and for the people. So looking at it from the angle above, a rhetoric question sets in-are we really a democracy?
Nigeria is a country with a history of electoral fraud and malpractices. It is not as incontrovertible fact that Nigeria has never witnessed a truly fair and credible election since independence except the annulled June 12 1993 general elections. Even the Jegastic 2011 elections that was said to have been free and fair had a lot of fraudulent acts .The beauty of democracy is that it emphasizes the power of the individual ballot, from the national level to the family level, we decide our rulers by our own hands. I am talking of the true democracy where the ballot is supreme.
In most fine democracies of the world, the tree of democracy keep blossoming as the years passes by. This is not so in Nigeria, since our pre- independence elections in 1959 till this present minute that I am writing this note; our situation has grown more pathetic from little election errors of some few cases of double voting to rigging of elections. We have been in a system where figures are simply manufactured, configured and announced as election results. A country where an incumbent president can decide that it is Mr. X that will succeed him when he leaves and the Mr. X eventually wins the primaries and the general elections even when not loved by the masses. Is that the democracy? I can boldly say it that, In Nigeria, we only thumbprint, we do not vote! The ones voting are in ASO ROCK. When we see things happening, we get surprised forgetting that our leaders are just in charge of everything. The nation has gone bad, no light, no water, no free basic education as supposed (thanks to governments such as that of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola that has ensured this),no good road, people are dying due to lack of good hospitals in the rural areas yet our leaders keep building Multimillion houses, their children keep leaving the country for schools like Harvard and Oxford, they keep going to the Middle East and the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean for vacations, they keep going to the best hospitals in Europe to get treated for mere malaria! Have they forgotten the law of karma? Doesn’t matter if they have,their children’s children shall reap it for all I care.
Nepotism has become the toll of the day. Ministerial posts and other posts are now for sons and daughters of past rulers!
For the past 14years of democracy, we have witnessed more harm than good. The much hyped ‘dividends of democracy’ as wanted by our past heroes during independence campaigns has not yet been enjoyed. Our leaders especially at the federal level take decisions not counting the people as the main factor of governance. Even the senate in recent years takes decisions without the consideration of the masses. It is certainly disheartening that even with exception of the masses from their decision levels, politicians are not also left out ,as those who are not loyal to the so called ”PARTY OF THE DAY” are always at the verge of political crucification and persecution, most recent of such disturbing events is the AMAECHI-JONATHAN-PDP saga. A mere party disagreement has now emanated into a full fraca, with the unfortunate Amaechi being the article of ridicule. When even the masses cannot boast of a civilian democracy, the politicians who are meant to be “primus inter pares” are not spared by this disheartening craziness called “DEMOCRACY”.
Even with all this they say half-heartedly,” we the youths are the future of tomorrow”, but could this be so? When we have men in their 40’s and 50’s being YOUTH LEADERS in our so called democracy. But we live on hopes that one day all these would become a thing of the past, where we would be spared the headache of “democrazy”, and practice true, free and realistic democracy. Where our voted would count and be accounted for, where children would know while growing up that they are future leaders and not mere political animals and touts. Where men of 40’s and 50’s would not be regarded as youth leaders but mentors. Where nepotism, tribalism, favoritism and persecutions would not be the order of the day. Where one can stand before any group and boast of a free nation.
A big thanks to few of the present day leaders who have brought true meaning to governance and politics, people who are not letting the loyalty to their parties and supporters come over their people. Leaders like His Excellency, Hon. Babatunde Fashola, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, Hon. Rochas Okorochas and the few more. May God bless them all. They are who they are because they do not act like animals, as other leaders do!
A hope surely we have, that one day, things would get better! One day, Nigeria will become a real democratic nation…How can this happen? Through your prayers and mine, and through our full involvement in human rights activity. When most youths hear you say ‘I wanna be a politician’, the first thing they say is ‘do you want to die’? WHY? Because they are afraid of the political system of the nation...It isn’t their fault at all, but the situation of things in the country. The future of the nation are afraid of the nation, then how can the nation progress?
This is a call on all Nigerian Youths to aspire for the nation, to prepare to take the nation to the higher heights the leaders of today can’t take us to!
In unity, we can make NIGERIA a better place. GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!
Happy democracy day Nigerians.
