A Democracy


 Peaceful change and superior honesty are among the advantages of democracy.

However, the alteration of the truth brings about disillusionment among the people and the continuous worrisome bloodshed of human lives is reflecting negatively on governance.

All governments from time immemorial have been characterized by the twin evils of corruption and embezzlement of public funds.

In addition, laws are hurriedly enacted for the preservation of the rot in the system.

In dictatorships, the ruling party takes the position of the state, and ensures that the profession of a particular set of political opinions becomes the first qualification for those in the Civil and Public Service, rather than competence and honesty.

However, although governments are liable, there are weapons to fight it in a democracy which is suppressed in dictatorship's form is labeled Glieshaltung, unifying the state. This form of corruption is not removed by dictatorships, but remodeled.

Democratic governments, unlike dictatorships, have a moral claim on the allegiance of the people, but today in Nigeria, the impoverishment of the people is the foundation for the condemnable actions and inaction of the government.

Indeed, lawlessness, crime, all forms of criminality and evil are sign posts of daily life across the country.
