• Hijacked Democracy: Nigeria’s democracy has been taken over by thugs, drug barons, and corrupt individuals who only care about their personal interests.
• Legacy of Military Rule: The country’s military dictators from 1966 to 1999 created a culture of corruption, unstable economic policies, and lawlessness, which has continued to affect the country today.
• Economic Instability: The focus on oil exports has led to an unstable economy, and the abandonment of agriculture has worsened poverty.
• Electoral Malpractice: Elections in Nigeria are marred by thuggery, ballot stuffing, and snatching, which means those in power often don’t represent the people’s choices.
• Poor Governance: The people in power are using their positions to harass, intimidate, and impoverish citizens, rather than serving their needs.
• Impact on Citizens: Nigerians are struggling with unaffordable fuel prices, bad roads, and insecurity, making daily life a challenge.
Nigeria’s democracy is facing serious challenges, according to Dr. Niran Malaolu, a former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Ogun State.
These issues highlight the need for urgent reform and accountability in Nigeria’s democracy to ensure the well-being and safety of its citizens.
