Nigeria's Democracy And Its Crisis Deliberate, Avoidable: Let's fix democracy in Nigeria; We must reject the bribe and resist the gun-Uche Okeke

Today the world has turned it's back to the unfortunate days of politics of regret where ignorant and ruthless liabilities manipulated the minds of people to cause human atrocities. What's the point of forcing people to live together when there is no value to be derived. Photo: Uche Okeke

What's the point of sacrificing human safety and security to please some unknown  aliens whose hands are full of blood? What's the point of election if it will not be free and fair? What's the point of seeking re-election if you cannot guarantee inclusiveness and oppose change?

What's the point of politics if in the words of Charles Krauthammer, if it's for: ''invasion, genocide, economic exploitation and a deep level of institutional racism and moral decadence...,there is more to life than politics"- This is the time to think different  which is the mission of this blog to help ordinary people change their world view and recognise the power they have to make a difference in the society.

Providing value should be at the heart of politics not deprivation and destruction. This needs all of us, people, media willing to reject blood money to foster social change. In social media and other spaces we must be willing to listen to each other, not just what they want us to hear and see.

These are changing times, the world is leaving the past behind, ordinary people deserve more from democracy. Those who know they cannot do the job and incapable to do the job should give those who are very credible and capable of doing the job. This is the only way we can have change.

We must demand for change for it to happen not waiting for it or being comfortable with the status-quo because of fears. We must be willing to change the way things are else it will go from frying pan to fire. The power to make change happen lies in our own hands not from the outside. This needs education and collabration, so how can we work together to drive change?.

"Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills-against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence...Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation....It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance"-Robert Kennedy[The End Of Poverty; How We Can Make It Happen In Our Lifetime- Jeffrey Sachs Forward By Bono]

Together we can change the way things are and help shape the future.
