Friday in Abuja, in a cab I had hired to take me to the airport, the driver in search of ‘good music’ stumbled on a phone- in programme that was discussing the interview that the NFF (The Federal House of Representatives insist they are NFA) had with Samson Siasia. I told the driver to stop.

Democracy is popularly defined as a system of government designed by the people for the people. The adoption of this style as best practice of governance by several nation states is supported by the far reaching economic and social progress made by those countries with strong democratic principles and structures.
