Democracy day was initially celebrated on 29 May of every year which marks the day military hands over power to civilian government in 1999. Military rule since 1960 after the colonial master free us to independence (liberty) but the military era was about overthrowing each other and civilian brutality. Which has affect so many till date.This democracy celebration started year 2000 till date but in the rule of incumbent president Mohammed Buhari change the date to June 12 in remembrance of late Abiola a leader with a vision to change the world. June 12 been Saturday has to be celebrate today Monday 14 as public holiday.
Democracy is celebrated as the civil right of Nigeria through their votes, sacrifice, self will to freedom and equality before the law and many more.
Democracy is for few in Nigeria and political power is the influence of who won an election and cast votes don't count rather it's makes some people carcass and many casket of rituals to win election. Rate of kidnapping increase during campaigns, shooting and riot becomes the other of the day. I see democracy as the act of right on few individuals with authority and not for all the citizens, democracy is all about money and godfather's in Nigeria. We are nobody to democracy and there is no difference between military era and civil government rule.
Right to be vote and voted for should be practice practical not just a written law and if our vote won't count then let all citizen sit at home and watch the opposing parties fight each other during election. There is no country without it citizens.
Let our democracy be for all and rights of all civilians.
Liberty is your soul guide it and voice out for who come against your soul.
I voice for liberty in Nigeria and the entire globe.
