Countdown To 2019 Election in Nigeria- 'Moral Authority'

We need to be more aware. Democracy is about the protection of individual rights- safety, security...,"Life, Liberty, Happiness'', not warfare. Authoritarian rule(coup, etc) is development in reverse, violent repression against the citizens- a danger to the whole of humanity.

 Expanding individual freedoms is a condition for growth whereas Authoritarian rule is a condition for stagnation and instability, so we have to be very careful. Vote for Freedom. Reject Political Bribery. Do not sell your votes. Never allow yourselves to be used for election violence. This is the time to think different. Ensure you register to VOTE!

We now live in a modern age where Authoritarians seeking domination over citizens life is no longer acceptable. We have the right to reject any government- sanction it if it fails the performance test and bring in a new government that will protect our rights and guarantees us freedom, not a government that will label us enemies of the state, seeking coerecive powers to hang people for free speech in 21st-century.

"The specific role of the democratic state is not to subordinate the individual to itself but infact to provide for individuals' self-realization. The self-realization of the individual can only take place through membership of a society in which the state guarantees and advances the rights embodied in moral individualism"-Durkheim.

Authoritarian Rule is Exclusion, Division, Exploitation, Discrimination, Violent Repression, Massive Corruption, Poor Resource Management and Political Instability, etc. Authoritarian Rule is not only evil that must be 'foreseen and prevented but also as a present evil from which we must cure ourselves'.
