The travails of the prevailing ‘democratic order’ make imperative the interrogation of what this regime type called democracy is all about. Do we really appreciate what democracy means? Are we making democracy worthwhile or perverting its content and process? These are the questions we need to review with a view to moving forward and consolidating the prevailing process.
The democratic harbour was the destination of the Nigerian people whose incipient democratic experiment was truncated by the military which made incursion into politics in 1966. In fact, at the early stage of the parliamentary system, Nigerians were regaled to the beauty of parliamentary democracy: quality debate, a thriving opposition, unhindered electoral access which saw a thriving tribe of independent candidates and healthy competition among the federating regions.
It is to be noted that elite choice at the point of transition was liberal democracy, a form of representative government endowed with a cluster of socio-political freedoms, namely, freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to vote and also stand for political office as well as self-determination with a Kantian bent. It also embodies the freedom of the market.
They will question this becos most who practice it in Nigeria never run an all-inclusive government: a winner takes all scenario. While the loser can only do agitations, being mostly unskilled & uninformed unlike in US where they go back to their former means of livelihood&thrive
The problem is not democracy the problem is the people ( political elite) for example in US they practice federalism we borrowed it and corrupt it and today we're talking about true federalism, federal system is federal system there is nothing like true federalism is .
It is but NOT the Nigerian democracy
