They are not responsible.

You don’t jail people on the streets because they elected a corrupt leader. You hold the corrupt leader responsible for his actions and jail him.

Everybody is responsible for his or her own actions. The common man on the street might vote you in office but they didn’t force you to start embezzling money or jailing people without due process.

The electorate is the victim here. They are not responsible for the misbehavior of the politicians.

You can’t blame the victims when the politicians promise so much during campaign season only to renege on all their promises once in power.

I know many people who voted Buhari because they truly believed he was the best choice, and they did this after critical thinking as you put it.

Until people start having the gift of prophecy and seeing into the future critical thinking will not stop a politician from going rogue.

The problem is that there is a basic flaw with democracy which is that the general population is asked to make decision which is for the best of the country.
Unfortunately the general population is made up of people with varying intellectual capacity, meaning many people will make decisions based on their level of understanding. A fool’s vote counts the same as a genius’s vote in an election.

The fool will likely make a foolish decision, but you can’t blame him for being a fool.

This is why Socrates criticized democracy, he said voting is a skill that shòuld be taught to the populace, the way an educated man will make his decision when voting will be quite different from an illiterate. Some will argue it creates a divide but the world is not equal and will never be.

It is the duty of the genius to educate the fool but do they do it?

GloryIsaac:


The fact that majority believed promises like "N1 = $1" makes the sense of judgement more questionable.

Questions should be asked, some of these things won't happen by magic.

Already seeing some names being thrown around to contest in 2023. The fact that some of these names are even being considered for Presidency makes one wonder if there is really hope for the nation.

afrodoc2:


Exactly. He said voting should be a learned skill and should not be based on intuition.

It is the government that should educate the people, however having an uneducated citizenry is to their advantage.

It is a fundamental flaw with democracy. In Book 6 of Plato’s Republic he details Socrates criticism of democracy.
Socrates felt allowing people to vote without a proper education was as irresponsible as for instance allowing people on a ship to vote to decide who would captain the ship.

Leyqute:


Lucky.

CapitalCee:


They thought Ed was joking, I even suspect they were very very ready to do business towards the transfer deadline, Baba just called their bluff and went for Diallo and pellistri, and added Cavani as jara. Dortmund are currently in financial crises already, and with Covid peaking again as we approach winter in Europe, I don't see fans returning and gate fee forms a huge chunk of their revenue, so they will be looking to clear their books

nitrogen:
Antonio’s goal makes sense!

JayKayMaybachz:
Happy Weekend fam..

patrickmuf:
Hehehe My boy will make you eat your words...

afrodoc2:


Then Nigeria is on a long thing. This is where civil liberty groups, NGOs, student groups etc should come in.

Everybody has to chip in to educate and enlighten the man on the street.

afrodoc2:



Kambwala looking classy and assured. A good passer.

McNeil has been quiet.

Derby are one man down and we are pressing them like brezz.

Emeran scored the only goal so far.

afrodoc2:
McNeil scores. 3-0

Nezzjnr:

My Guyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

afrodoc2:


He was not really playing well though he took his goal really well.
Kambwala is looking like he will have a chance. His partner Hardley looks quite good also.
Then we have Fish and Mengi with under-23 and Tuanzebe with the senior team.

If we buy 1 world class CB and offload Drs Bailly, Rojo, and Jones we should be sorted for the several years at CB.

JayKayMaybachz:
