nigeria poltical system is a monarchyrepublic and oligarchy combined taking the bad thing from each system

I thought Fela Anikulapo Kuti aptly defined our brand of democracy as demonstration of craziness. I am yet to find a better definition of what Nigeria is practising. For me, my own definition is a government of corrupt people by corrupt people and for corrupt people. Shikena !!!

The only solution to Nigeria political problem is a return to Regionalism, period! This will reduce too much power from the centre.

Thamks for this article. The system I guess is or should be called confused system and the fact that we have the so-called high callibred lawyers and law-makers in the country and who couldnt be bothered to raise their voice until this is rectified really puzzles me. One would think combining systems from the USA and the UK would give Naija a better hybrid but its all lies and futile. They have done this too to our education system, Policing, health (and that has evaporated now!). We need a total solution in that country.

.We all have voted for the best man, but his candidature never counts.becuase in nigeria's democracy one party(PDP) always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests.'Democracy: The state of affairs in which you consent to having your pocket picked, and elect the best man to do it. In a state-run society the government promises you security. But it's a false promise predicated on the idea that the opposite of security is risk. Nothing could be further from the truth. The opposite of security is insecurity, and the only way to overcome insecurity is to take risks. The gentle government that promises to hold your hand as you cross the street refuses to let go on the other side

Here is my own definition of Nigeria's system of governance:

Government led by the thieves, run by the thieves and for the morons(we Nigerians, the governed)!

We deserve what we have. Nigerians, we are the most stupid people in the world. I 'm not surprised we are governed by the most stupid persons on earth. People throw up the best among them as leaders. If in 52 years of our existence, the best we have are the ones in abuja, then we are obviously the most stupid people on earth!

@ Toni:
2. It is on record that Gen Olusegun Obasanjo was the one that formed the then Constituent Assembly that gave birth to Presidential System of Govt we adopted and 'practise' today. It is on record too that ONLY Awolowo kicked against Presidential System on the basis that he considered it too expensive, inappropriate for our diverse cultural setting and that we were not matured enough to practice such system.

For you to come round to twist History for a selfish reason is not a sin but a disservice to humanity.
Seek ye the truth so that you can be free.

@ Toni,
Please, in the name of everything that is good and for the generation yet unborn, dont twist History simply you hate Gowon's face or his actions and inactions while he was the Head of State.
For the purpose of History:
1. It is a known fact that Gen aguiyi Ironsi was the one that jettisoned the TRUE FEDERALISM in Nigeria by his obnoxious and infamous Decree No.34. Northern people were the first to kick against the decree because they believed that Nigerians were not truly ONE and could therefore not be governed and develop at the same speed and rate. Unfortunately, Ironsi's own people suffered most the reprisal of that stupid action.

The practise of Nigeria Govt.is nothing but the embezzulment of public fund which we belive that it will soon end by the arrangement of the people involve will fish those animals out.

I thought for quite a while and really couldn't figure a clear explanation except sign language.????????????????????????????????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.????????????????????????????????.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. End of story.

CABALUTOCRACY: Government of the lotas by the lutas and for the lutas.

Naija had parliamentary system of govt. similar to the british system, immediately after independence and decided during Gowon era to adopt confederal system, similar to the american system of govt. The then naive Gowon did not understand the meaning of confederation, which he agreed to at aburi. Instead of copying and adopting confederation as similar to america system, Gowon copied it half and half, thus forming our own today federal system which i tagged "confedera???". Anything not properly copied will never work, not even a file from your pc to your flash drive. On aburi we stand or we better go back to the regional/parliamentary system.

simply put...CABALTOCRACY

There is no democracy in nigeria what we have in nigeria is unitary system of govt the true democracy can be determine through the structure of federalism, we don't have true federalism in nigeria one of the features of democracy is the existence of opposition political parties.In nigerian democracy if u re not a pdp member u re no body even the judiciary is not helping matters which is the last hope of common man and is one of the best feature of democracy but is not exist in nigeria.pdp and judiciary is the same in nigeria therefore, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely;

Government of the thieves by the thieves for the thieves!!!

stealintocracy or thiefritocracy. Whichever one you prefer!

I sincerelely do not the kind of government that Nigeria reuns. But i know Nigeria does not practise democracy. Period.

Thank you and thats the only option. We need real bloody revolution in this country. When its happen, we should lay ambush for all these looters and all their family to be kill. We must born all of them and their properties. They had already destroyed the country.Its time for jungle justice, because goverment can not do any thing, they are all the same thing.

First, let me say that the inadequacies of the type of government operated in Nigeria is easily seen and accepted as one if you live in another country (not another banana republic), where you actually see good governance in action (good governance does not only come from democracy as America lies to to world. China is not a democracy but their government works). This is why majority of Nigerians who live in Nigeria and who have never left Nigeria do not see anything wrong with our system of government; they are the reasons why someone like Jonathan would be president - they are ignorant, which makes them accept very low standards. That said, my take on Nigeria's system of government is one where those in it think the main purpose of being there is to use the nation's monies as personal inheritances.

That's is why you hear words like "it is my turn," it is his turn," etc. What turn? the turn of the office occupant to steal and use public funds for personal aggrandizement. In serious climes, majority of public funds are actually used for infrastructure and citizen services. In Nigeria, more that 70% of public funds are spent for the direct benefits of those in public office - a situation that is not just an outrage but ONE THAT WARRANTS A VERY VIOLENT REVOLUTION, WHERE ALL THOSE IN PUBLIC OFFICE (since 1999, in Nigeria's case) AND ALL THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS OR RELATIVES, AND FRIENDS, WHO ALL BENEFIT FROM THESE INJUSTICES AND FRAUD, TO BE KILLED IN COLD BLOOD.

LOOTOCRACY: Government of the Northerners for the few opportunist by the few for the few for 38 years. The country is like a prodigal son. In fact it is the prodigal son of Africa.

The system of governnace we have in 9JA is to steal the resources of the oil producing zones of the country. In 1954 it was 100% at source for the priciple of derivation-So what made the old regions change that revenue sharing formular soon after oil was discovered-we shall arrive at an answer as to the type of government we are running if we remove the oil revenue from our table--then and only then can we know if what we have is fiscal federalism, regionalism or welfarism --perhaps (bokism!)

Azeez, anytime I read any article concerning Nigeria or any news, I am always saddened. Unfortunately, we Nigerians especially the educated ones are part of the problem, because we are all opportunist, we read articles, ame brilliant comments, and yet, we continue to do same thing over and over and expect different result, is this possible? NO. I live in Canada and have a decent job that I could not have in Nigeria. I came here, for almost a year, the government sponsored my engineering integration program, and even pay me almost $2000/month, can this happen in Nigeria? No. Is this Canadian government investment on me a waste? NO, cos I have a job, and deduction in my salary per month is almost $3000. I do not complain, bcos I see wht they do with my tax, and I had enjoyed the tax that others paid before. I pray one day we'd all wake up to our civic responsibilities in good mind........

THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA IS 'CHOP AND STEAL' SYSTEM OF. GOVERNMENT

Our system of government in Nigeria is Lutocracy.

My dear Writer, keep it up. the sky is not your limit. see you at the top.
