		<description><![CDATA[ANY day and anytime,the question of the ‘Nigerian Condition‘ comes to mind. This is based on finding how Nigeria is where it is today among other nations of the world.  Questions are often asked, and justifiably so, on why Nigeria is still a poor country in the midst of abundant human and material resources.  Perhaps the answer lies within the complexity of the problems of the politics and economics of the country and the perception of the people (Philosophy).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DEMOCRACY, as a concept would be described as a government of the people, for the people and for the people. It was invented by the Greeks to find a way for people to be governed by their own people for the common good. Thus, democracy could be accepted as one of the best ways to govern a community. ]]></description>

At the time many Nigerians are expecting the National Assembly to be flooded with bills to create employment through infrastructural developments; the nation is being treated to a game of football with a no score result being celebrated by teams which lack creative strikers.]]></description>
