It becomes something else like Emilokan. Emilokan cannot be democracy.

Under, Emilokan, there will be a disconnect between what the people want and what the President wants.

That is where we are. What is happening today in Nigeria cannot happen in the West because the Westerners have paid the price.

Except we pay the price, our politicians would continue along their path of self destruction.

The choice is ours.

Every system comes with it's challenges. It is like a person who feels the cure for a mechanical problem is a change of machine. Wh
