It really amase me when we say that Nigeria is a democratic nation. if u look at what is happening in Nigeria, u will see that power belong to the leaders instead of the people, the masses are voiceless.
The leaders are supposed to be the servant of the people and not the other way round .whenever the government come up with any policy that is not favourable to the well fare of the people, if the masses should protest against it the leaders will see it as a propaganda by their political opponent and they begin to issue treats and warning to the people there by trying to enslave the will of the masses.
The democracy that is been practiced in Nigeria is democracy in form of oligarchy, were power belong to few privileged and powerful people. This people are there to represent their own selfish interest and not that of the people that voted them in.
