Nigeria's Democracy- In Death Throes by Ohmohm: 10:18am On Feb 17, 2023
The omen in the political heaven of Nigeria presuppose a delibrate and machinated attempt by some set of peopel to truncated her democracy.

Democracy is an idea, where groups of people come together to device a mean of organising their society in an orderly, peaceful and prosperous manner. It is predicated on justice and among many other things on the rule of Law.

Salient points
1.Our democracy is entrenched on the tripod of a three tier of government. The Executive, Legislative and the Judiciary. There no tier of government that is subservient to another. They complement and keep each in check.

2 Secondly, our democracy must take into consideration the ethnic differences of our nation. No ethnic group is subservient or "low-classed" to another. Justice dictate that all in this contraption called Nigeria must be given opportunity to thrive. It must not, ye, never be allowed, that one ethnic group would feel disenfranchised and subjugated by another.

Also In a democracy the utmost benefit of the people is to be engendered. And this cannot and will never be achieved, where justice is trampled upon and rule of law denigrated.

Power corrupts absolutely, absolute power corrupt absolutely. And if I may add[b], the object/victim of corrupt absolute power are consumed absolutely[/b]. Where one tier of government display absolute corrupted power, then we must beware of absolute destruction.

Today democracy in Nigeria is in its death throes because Justice is victimised and vandalized while the rule of law is misappropriated or outrightly trampled upon. This to my simple mind does not portend good for the country.

For every action there is an equal reaction. Have we asked ourselves what the reaction to the outright disregard fornthe rule of law in this nation portend.

Conjecture/Questions

What will happen if the election does not hold?
What will happen if the wish of the people is not entrenched.
What will happen if military takes over(" God forbid bad thing"wink due to violence that may result as a consequence to disregard for the rule of law.

I pray for the prosperity and peace of all regions in this contraption, and that our leaders would lead us aright. Amen.
