Is Democracy Failing Nigeria?

    We vote.

    We hope.

    We get disappointed.

    Then we repeat.

    But how long can a cycle of broken promises still be called democracy?



    On paper, Nigeria is a democratic nation — leaders are elected, votes are cast, and institutions exist.

    But in reality?

     

    • Votes are bought.
    • Elections are rigged.
    • Courts are politicized.
    • The will of the people is constantly ignored.

     

     

    When the same politicians recycle themselves, when citizens are punished for protesting, and when corruption is protected by law — can we still say democracy is working?

     

    Democracy is supposed to mean government by the people — but more and more Nigerians feel powerless, not represented.

     

     

    If democracy is failing the people, maybe it’s time the people redefine democracy.

    Not just as a system of voting — but as a culture of accountability, justice, and true participation.

     

    So tell me —

    Is Nigeria truly democratic… or just pretending to be?
