NIGERIA’S CONSENSUS DEMOCRACY
Candidates are selected by consensus, or is it
Forced on the electorate by executive consensus?
Who selects or determines the consensus candidate?
Is the consensus candidate subjected to a vote?
Yes.
Voice vote, or the voice of a corrupt process?
Democracy and voting are inseparable.
Democratic choices are expressed by voting.
When voting is prohibited, democracy becomes an autocracy.
An autocracy enforced by threats and inducements.
Threats to unleash the state attack dogs on the recalcitrant and
Inducement with ogili* on the wavering.
Ogili can deodorize any IMPUNITY in Nigeria.
No matter how malodorous, ogili will cover it.
Consensus selection of candidates for elective offices is:
Autocratic,
Monetocratic,
Rigocratic, and
Smacks of Communism
Meanwhile, there is no consensus on:
Electrifying Nigeria
Feeding Nigerians
Educating Nigerians
Clothing Nigerians
Providing pipe-borne water to Nigerians
Providing health care to Nigerians
Providing employment to Nigerians or
Providing security to Nigerians
Ogili—a pungent spice used as a metaphor for bribery.
