RE: IS DEMOCRACY FAILING US, OR ARE WE FAILING DEMOCRACY?

Nicely written
I love that we all know what democracy is all about and how it lost its meaning, particularly in the current regime we find ourselves in. Democracy in Nigeria was destroyed in the year 1966 after the first coup d'état, and since then, we have found our balance. It's since that time corruption has taken root, both from the civilian and the military rule, but one thing we all always forget is that there can't be democracy without the people.

So I always wonder why some people are politically apathetic. If we truly want the democracy we all are seeking, then we all need to come out and do the needful, not run away from it because we feel like no matter what we do, there wouldn't be a result. Yes, it has been like that for ages, but times are changing, and it's time to get things right. We shouldn't run away from politics because it is these same politicians who direct most of the policy that affects our lives.

Finally, its sad that the democrazy we all know is what is driving us crazy because the people who elect themselve into power are driving the wheels of the country in a crazy direction, and this sometime make me which we are running a monarch kinda government because even during the monarch time in the western region, when a king start misbehaving, he will be removed. But like you said, there is always a limit, advantage, and disadvantage. I just hope our democracy will work for us someday.

Amazing write up superstar.
