How does democracy operate in Nigeria a west African country that gained independence from her former colonial master-Britain in 1960.?
Our democracy has a foundation of sand. With this foundation, the present government is basing its perception on the present and not the future.

We have a 'vulture democracy' where the strong patiently devours its victims at the full glare of domestic and international community. DR.
