The truth in Nigeria today is simply this:our public elected and appointed officials at the 3 branches of our government (federal, state and local) are the only direct beneficiaries from the entire dividends of our 14-year old democracy since its inception in 1999. There are no new massive infrastructures been built anywhere in Nigeria today and our national foreign debt has increased rapidly despite our foreign debt forgiveness few years ago by the western financial institutions. The massive official corruption from our public officials remained unabated and is now the official order of governance in Nigeria.
The provision of electricity to Nigeria after more than 200 years of the invention of this technology is still a major problem today in Nigeria despite the billions of the American dollar that have already be spent on this corruption-rooted and a typical white elephant project. The unemployment rate amongst the Nigerian youths has increased to its peak under this questionable democracy. The value of the Nigerian Naira continues to depreciate under this democracy. The poverty rate in Nigeria has now reached its highest level in her entire history of our nation under this so called democracy. Our universities and public schools remained the most under funded and outdated under this rogue democracy.
The poverty wages that are paid to the Nigerian workers remained one of the lowest worldwide despite our oil wealth. Our public officials are now the highest paid in the world in the name of democracy, public service and patriotism. The health care system in Nigeria in 2013 is still outdated, overwhelmed and inadequate under this pseudo-democracy. The government of Nigeria has failed woefully to provide the much-needed social services and the security to life and properties for every Nigeria under this failing democracy.
The ruling PDP has no single plan to turn these national anomalies around for good in the last 14 years of their firm control of the national resources of Nigeria and her federal government. The opposition APC has no plan also on the ground to address these issues except their desire to control the center of Nigeria in 2015 by all the means possible as a political party of all Dicks and every Harry, whether good or bad. The Nigerian masses are now directly and blindly caught up in the webs of these political lies, politics of deception and self-serving as well as in the highest form of political insincerity of our charlatan politicians in Nigeria
