The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
Kindly share this story:
However, it is quite unfortunate that this was not to be, as the political landscape has proven otherwise.For example, the rule of law in Nigeria is just a mere political philosophy established on lips service, elections and electoral processes are monetized, political parties have no ideological premise as, more often than not, party candidates are seen cross-carpeting between party lines with no sense of accountability, even to the electorates.
Hence, continued unethical practices in the Nigerian political space have been an important factor in the current deplorable state of her democracy, in that, there is no unity of purpose where the primary objective of a government – security of lives and properties, is concerned. In other words, in a clime where politics is seen as a game to be played by a ‘powerful’ few, no doubt, critical issues of security are also, inevitably, politicised! And unfortunately so.
No doubt, the 1966 coup caused a mutual distrust amongst Nigerian major ethnic groups. And this unfortunate event not only left the union fractured but also amplified the already diversified ethno-religiosity. If only this problem had been well managed, even as the country transitioned from military rule into democracy, the current bad state would never have been the experience.
