“Nigerian politician often adopt an enslavement system of governance, masquerading it under the guise of democracy.
True democracy is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. In contrast, the system practiced here seems to be a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. These politicians might offer token handouts to certain citizens, creating an illusion of care and concern.
However, this façade crumbles when one tries to bridge the gap between the empowered and the powerful. The token beneficiaries are often used to mobilize support and suppress dissent, rather than genuinely uplifting the masses.”
