Food for thought- do we practice democracy in nigeria? Or does the world really practice democracy? Just me thinking aloud- with the issue of popular votes and the electoral college in the U.S- well, Let's not forget the last governors forum in nigeria- 16 were insisting that 19 lost an election- and other, indices form the basis for my humble opinion. 
I would like to stress this again, I believe we are not practicing democracy - what we are practicing, honestly for lack of the proper phrase- I would name it *I DON'T KNOW*, because no matter how we look at it, it doesn't make sense - we all know the definition of democracy bah - to stress my thoughts more only 0.2%, of the total population of nigeria, they determine what happens to the remaining 99.8%? That doesn't look or sound like something similar to democracy at all- When we are unable to make sure, minority have their say, but majority (the people/masses) have way, then we are not practicing democracy- it's still closer to dictatorial rule, because what we are practicing is definitely, not monarchy.

My life, experience, regrets , what next?

its time to turn things on their heads part 2

You see this notion  Govt responsibility is to create an enabling environment , is said to make govt pass the bulk and responsibility to a supposed private sector that is bleeding from a killed middle class, and lack of funds finance to run business for 2 reason high interest rates and tenor of repayment, bearing in mind that the middle class is the engine room of commerce - we are not even a capitalist state, as far as I know, we run a mixed economy, so how then do we say govt responsibility is only to create an enabling environment? - what Exactly is the definition of enabling - policy formulation only?, but then income from sales of crude oil goes to govt and not the the same private sector? Don't you see the contradiction,  Let me not drag this debate for too long so I don't bore or overwhelm you- my intent is to show that we have better idea's then those ruling us today even with the million of years of abundant experience they have around themselves.   The last ti...
