Nigeria: Post-independece political scene

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, History, Politics

Omo Taylor analyses Nigeria's post-independence political scene [1]: “Forty-eight years on, I muse, Nigeria is gripped tightly by what I would call demonised Democracy. A government of the people in most cases, by sneaky, snaky, money-corrupt, weak, scheming, power-corrupt, sugar tongued vipers; who have no inkling about ruling the people in integrity, trust, diligence and love, so that the generality of the people could be emancipated.”
