 As Nigeria prepares to mark another Democracy Day, citizens have been advised to be patriotic and show anti-democratic practices if the country must move forward. Stakeholders in Bias Estate, who spoke to a correspondent, Jesse Assisi, say the country is faced with a lot of challenges because it's yet to practice true democracy. Details in this report. Democracy Day in Nigeria used to hold on May 29 until June 6, 2018, when the administration of President Muamad Uwari declared June 12 as the new Democracy Day in honor of the late M.K.O. Avila, winner of their North 1993 presidential election. It signifies the day the military handed over power to the civilian government in 1999, marking the beginning of the longest civilian rule since 1960. However, some citizens believe the country is moving at a very slow pace in virtually all sectors because it is yet to practice true democracy and they say both the government and the government are to blame. A greater pain of the blame would drop at the first step of the leaders but the very unfortunate that poverty has brought most of the followers to their needs also. Look at what happened in the premise of the two major political parties. They are up to $25,000 to $30,000 is being paid for delegates to elect party flag bearers. It's so sad. So I don't know what they expect those leaders to do. They will first of all think of means to recoup the billions that they invested in the project. The process is so faulty. I think it's almost going to family business now. Now you started seeing some people, they are governor's wife, governor's daughters and governor's son, governor's auntie in laws. So it's almost going that way. So that is not what democracy means. Citizens advised to show sharp practices in the election process so that only leaders with developmental mindset can rule. When you buy votes and when you sell votes, the consequences of that should be known to those who are buying the vote and those who are selling the vote. The effect is will fall back to the people and to the Nigerian state. That is why we are suffering from our economy. We cannot do anything because everybody wants to get there and to get back the money you have paid. So the voting system already is known. In fact, we can predict Nigerian election before you the winner emerge. It's like Nigerian thing. I want to call on all Nigerians, most desperately the leaders to change from their former attitude of noting the tragedy drive to a more progressive approach where we can begin to build on capacity, build on investment, build on infrastructure so that the future generation and those still living will always hold us high and appreciate Africa as a growing country, Nigeria in particular. They insist that until Nigerians stop voting along religious and ethnic lines, corruption, and underdevelopment, we continue to build the order of the day. Just see you say plus TV news.
