Steem4Nigeria Engagement Challenge Season 5, Week 1 - Elections In My Country

For every country or nation that is performing quite well whether in economical standard or whatever standard you desire to mention the growth and success of the nation, have it in mind the government have a long way in deciding how it performs out and vice versa. Vice versa also in the sense that if it begins to experience massive downfall, all blame will be put on government which I strongly believe it is rightly judged.

Nigeria has really been Suffering from bad government for quite a long period of time and to be honest, till now we are still suffering from it and innocent children who quite knew nothing about it are still suffering from it till now. What an unfortunate and regrettable government we have witnessed in the country of Nigeria. I can say vividly, the bad state Nigeria is now is due to bad leaders which was chosen through democracy. A lot of politicians have the mindset already whenever there is a large sum of money for them for the election, as far as money is involved, they have high probability to win irrespective of it.

And if something is not really done quickly, unborn children and generations to come will still suffer for this effect of bad leaders which is not good. Nigeria is among the most blessed nation in the world when it comes to mineral and natural resources to boost our nation wealth. But the bad leaders, corrupted leaders and who are just after eating and stealing large funds without not thinking about the general citizens of the country

Tell us the governance type in your country and how effective you think it has been in running the country's affairs

Nigeria which happens to be my country is currently running a democratic government which has really spoilt a lot of good things in the country. In fact some times I will wish Nigeria never come to the light of governance type.

Nigeria has three types of government which is divided into federal, legislative, and judiciary.
When judging the effectiveness of democracy government for the past ages, I will say it has not been effective as it was supposed to be. In fact democracy government should give more opportunities for citizens to express their freedom of choice and speech which happens people are been killed on this speech of a thing.

I will say the democratic system of government has lose its taste no matter the hype that was attached to it long ago. It has been a regret all this while. I see the democratic system of government which Nigeria runs as invalid and just a means of enslaving a lot of citizens who are ignorant in order to continue to carry out their work.

What are the election methods employed in your country and do you consider them effective? Do you also participate in the Exercise?

I will not say there is a particular election method in my country Nigeria due to the high level of corruption where things are been changed, both method and strategy are easily been manipulated.

Normally when it comes to election period, the inec are in charge of that where ballot paper and polling unit are readily make available for voting which people vote as far as they have their PVC registered. Even though the election method is quite effective without deny at least it has helped a lot of people to vote easily and has helped to reduce the stress.

Share your recent experience in participating in one. Rate the process- fair, good, or bad.

Even though I didn't have any recent experience I participated in for some years ago due to the political apathy I developed concerning voting, i will like to share some experience I passed through several years ago

There was a time that was years ago. I was still love to vote during election though but the queue was quite really large and long and suddenly I begin to see money been distributed on the queue. You might be wondering why is the sharing of the money. Latter after the election, this is a means the politicians used in convincing the citizens to vote for them irrespective of their history or what they have done past.

Well as you all know, the citizens will fall for the trap of the money because large group of people love money.

Would you suggest a method of electing leaders to power? Discuss your method

Definitely. I will suggest a new method of electing leaders to power which is the military method. In as much as we are still using the democratic system of electing leaders to power, there will continue to be massive corruption, fake manifesto and bad leaders been employed.

Don't misquote me, I am not saying there is no corruption in military system of election, there will definitely be but it will still be quite reducing and minimal compared to the others

I will love to invite @chukwu10 , @badmus-official and @yulirosario27 to participate in this contest
