Nigeria democracies represent the interests of Nigeria leaders and their Colonia masters.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any. - Alice Walker
Freedom will not be seized through voting within the political parameters of corruption. It will be seized through revolting. They do not care about your interests whatsoever.

They hate political rebellion. They just want the poor to die.
