Democracy is an ethical model for  governing multi-ethnic society. Democracy is good.

 But the Nigerian version of democracy is elitist, Oligarchical; dominated by party-centric politics, and looting of public funds that the Judiciary turns blind eyes to punish law offenders.

If democracy is about making policies that only favour and protect the investments of the political elites, then we need to rethink the way we constitute society to bring a more just order.

Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering.
