Ex-presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe has jumped on social media to explain why Nigeria’s democracy has problems.

He recently had his say via his Twitter page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, no amount of change mantras or activism will change politicking in Nigeria except the problems surrounding its democracy are addressed.

Doyin added that the problems with Nigeria’s democracy include corruption, illiteracy and poverty.

His words, “The Problems With Nigeria’s Democracy; 1. Pervasive corruption. 2. Illiteracy. 3. Crippling poverty. 4. Massive youth unemployment 5. Lack of respect for Rule of Law. 6. Malleability of the Judiciary. 7. The absence of the fear of God.”

“No amount of ‘change mantras’ in our politics, or activism of the Youth will change the status quo. We must find a way to deal with the above 7 demons and collectively pray and ask God to change our hearts towards righteousness & godliness.”

“Else, we go round this unprogressive cycles endlessly.”
