Nothing wey person no go hear for this country

The petroleum minister.

OP grow up!

No public office holder in Nigeria has ever told Nigeria 'bye-bye' more than the present president.
I have seen countless pictures of Buhari waving bye to Nigeria in his less than 3yrs in office.

This is supposed to be an achievement?

I wonder when the Army will regain the trust of Nigerians

Hmm, title plenty for Nigeria o!

I wonder when or if Kanu will ever show up again.

Western education is forbidden - Boko Haram

The people that brought Islam keep innovating and we're forbidding education. Naija sorry o!

The 'stomach infrastructure' guy is taking on our 'saintly' president

This is a good move. Now when is there going to be ban in place for public office holders traveling abroad for medical treatment?

When will all the drama by this government end?

When are we testing our politicians for humanity?

Parables are not.for those with very IQs.

Don't worry, he gets your point. Some people just enjoy playing devil's advocate.

I am trying my best to make sense of this statement.

ArewaWatch:
A total of 760 Boko haram suspects have been handed over to the Borno state government by the Nigerian Army for reintegration into the society.

Please this is disrespectful to GEJ

Bad pikin

Cultures in this world amaze me. Just when you think you've seen it all there's always something to top it!

God as we are told can do anything, even making the impossible possible. So I am thinking if I had such powers here are a few things I would do in a world where I am God.

1. There will only be one religion
2. There will be nothing like free will
3. Everybody will lack nothing

I am God and this is how I will run my world.

How will you run your own world

Wey d frog?

Everybody get price. The chick criticizing will act p0rn if the price is right. #fact

Democracy is a very lovely system of governance, I hold this view and I'm sure so does most people in the world. Particularly I love democracy because it gives power to the people. The people CHOOSE their leader. I, as an eligible citizen get to CHOOSE my leader.
What this act of my voting a leader from candidates vying for a political position portrays, is that I am convinced I will receive the best from my choice. But then if a candidate I didn't vote for wins I would most probably feel I am not being led by the best. Yet it is democracy. Government BY THE PEOPLE. Government BY ME.

So here are the two anomalies or flaws with democracy as I see it.
These anomalies are what I wish to highlight
1. If democracy is really a government by the people then a democratically elected leader should be unanimously voted in. This surely will avoid statements like 97% and 5% by the President.


2. Democracy gives one vote to one voter. This to me is the biggest flaw of democracy. I think votes should be weighted. A professor most definitely will have a better idea of a leader Nigeria needs than his 18yr old student. Banker or shoemaker. Engineer or bricklayer. Philanthropist or beggar. You get the point.



Western countries are mostly able to get around these two problems because of the following reasons
1. there is little divide in class,
2. education and general enlightenment sures Africa,
3. Most do not have more than 5 languages out of which one is the major
4. They have one major religion


Africa on the other hand has countries divided across multiple ethnicity, religion, high illiteracy etc etc.
Until we get around these flaws in democracy we will keep having disgruntled citizens being ruled by leaders they view as inadequate.
