Has the meaning of democracy changed in the dictionary? What kind of government is being practiced in Nigeria today? How come it doesn’t seem to have a semblance of what the dictionary defined democracy to mean?? I see oppression, intimidation, suppression , anything but government of the people.

When the Freedom of Information Act was enacted in 2011, many citizens mostly activists and journalists assumed that the nation had achieved a near revolution because through the Act the days of secrecy in governance ought to be over.

Many Nigerians still doubt the price to pay for not exercising, eating right and not using their bodies well.   Unfortunately, increasing number of people suffering from arthritis may not be unconnected with the common belief among young people, “I am young and energetic. I have six packs.”

The idiocy of the Nigerian state is magnified by the fact that whereas Nigeria has crude oil  worth over $15billion stolen from its shores, at a time when the selfsame country is  chasing after loans that represent just a fraction of what its citizens in collaboration with foreigners have  stolen from it.

Sunday Vanguard had a chat with Hon. Agbonayinma on efforts so far to recover the proceeds from the sale of the stolen crude oil.
