OPINION BY WEALTH DICKSON OMINABO: The unique beauty of Nigeria’s democracy | TheCable
BY WEALTH DICKSON OMINABO
On the other hand, for some people, democracy primarily concerns human rights and civic participation. They view any violation of human rights as a threat to democracy and the denial of citizens’ freedom to engage in civic activities as a political evil and an invitation to anarchy.In recent times, electoral manipulation and other forms of electoral malpractice have been regarded as democratic sins that challenge the state’s sovereignty.
Nigeria’s democracy is like a movie, with men and women merely playing their roles, entering and exiting the stage; one individual assuming multiple parts throughout their lifetime. Today’s governor could become tomorrow’s president, yesterday’s journalist might turn into tomorrow’s propagandist, and the patriot of the past could become an enemy in the future.
The beauty of democracy is often used as a national cliché by Nigerian democrats to describe the inherent virtues and positive aspects.
