The failure of the world's best political system-Democracy in Nigeria is due to a number of causes all Deliberate, Avoidable. For Democracy to achieve it's objective in Nigeria, it has to be 'properly and transparently' be applied.
One sure way this can happen is the restructuring of the current political structure which concentrates Political and Economic Power to the center and the rejection of Authoritarian/Totalitarian Rule. Democracy exists where equality of opportunities prevail.
No society can be built upon the pursuit of self-interest. It is morally wrong for the state to 'erect obstacles' for the growth of the society. The Liberty and Equality of citizens is one sure way to promote the health of democracy.
This needs informed citizenry-active civil society willing to take action. Today's technology has the potential to help make change happen, so lets use it for good. Now is the time to take action by Rejecting Political Bribery, Resist the Bullet, Reject Cattle Colony- Safety and Security first, Demand Restructuring, Vote for Credible and Educated Leadership that will guarantee us Restructuring and Sound Government built on a 'Shared Value and Shared Identity' to lift ordinary people out of poverty.

"We must reject the horrorfic idea of all-powerful government-excessive administrative centralisation. Such a conception is monstrous; not as a coming evil that must be forseen and prevented,but as a present evil from which we must cure ourselves"-Schaeffle.
