Nigeria’s Deficient Democracy = Autocracy

Adams Oshiomhole (APC Chairman): “only people who can accept the pain of rigging; sorry defeat, should participate in elections.” 

The freedom to choose our leaders is a beauty of democracy. In the absence of this basic tenet of democracy, what you have is autocracy.

Hence, if a Nigerian politician and his political party know that the electorate will vote them out of power for non-performance, they will work for the people.

Money: From Medium of Exchange To Medium of Influence - The Nigerian Example

Money (banknotes & coins) is a medium of exchange. But some African politicians particularly the politicians in Nigeria are gradually redefining money as a medium of influence.

Though I am not a conformist, but I like reading the bible and other religious scriptures. Even those books written by philosophers, scientists, metaphysicians, etc. Each of these books, especially the Christian bible, I consider a book of wisdom. I get to know the world better each time I read a chapter of any of the books.

When It Is Convenient To Use Bible Verses to Commit Evil

[Well] there are those verses even some of the most literal readers of the Bible ignore because they are just too inconvenient. Take Luke 18:22: "Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." No Christian will ever follow this injunction. It is too inconvenient.

Donald Trump And The White Supremacists' Interpretation Of The Bible

The Face Of Christianity - Intimidation And Slavery

When Donald Trump was elected president of the USA, many Christians in Africa, and particularly in Nigeria, saw in Trump the reincarnation of their Jesus.
