Faye's Emergence in Senegal's Electoral Process Shows Democracy Can Survive in Africa - Keshi |Aigbe

When President Macky Sall started his antics, the people came out and protested and held on to the view that they wanted a democratic election. As long as we fight for it, democracy will still be alive in Africa

Democracy is NOT more important than Governance in favor of the people. I am more interested to see Africa become more independent of Europe and the U.S than the celebration of democracy. Democracy has to include much more than changing rulers. It has to include fair justice, zero tolerance for corruption, equality regardless of ethnicity or religion, public purse being spent to develop our young people, infrastructure and creativity. The word democracy has been used as a shield to distract from the issue we should care about.

[@olayinkaadetoye3877]

Senegal has joined the league of leaders in Africa that can teach others about democracy and the rule of law, hopefully Nigeria can learn something from them.

If INEC did their job, there won't be the need for the involvement of other govt depts. The sole job of INEC is to conduct elections & nothing else. Till this day, INEC used word of mouth to give Nigerians a president. Nigerians still don't have paper or electronic evidence of the result with which INEC declared a President. Other countries are progressing & advancing their countries to meet up with the challenges of the 21st century & Nigeria is retrogressing so bad it's a damn shame to the image.

If you want to achieve what the Senegalese achieved politically, the support Sowore as a youth in 2027 and not Obi who belongs to the old order, but be reminded that the nature of our politics in Nigeria is no where comparable to that of Senegal, the dynamics are simply miles apart.

[@diligenceeke3023]

​@@lilmbaye29 Because Nigeria and Cameroon are too diverse. Over 250 languages in each country. And their leaders are more brutal. Macky Sall only had about 80 people killed. Nigerian leaders would easily shoot 3000 people without feeling it.

[@lilmbaye29]

@@diligenceeke3023 That's an excuse man. Every country in Africa is diverse. Senegal is 17 million people, 20 tribes and 39 languages, majority Muslim country while first ever president Senghor was Catholic. You never hear religious discrimination in Senegal thank God. Our only problem is the toxic politicians. I'm almost sure Cameroon and Nigeria can function the same way. It's just a matter of being aware brother. Nigerians and Cameroonians are the smartest folks I know.

[@diligenceeke3023]

@@lilmbaye29 Nigeria is over 250 million with 525 languages. Deal with that mate! Stop comparing apples and oranges. If you are not a Nigerian you will never understand the peculiarities. Have you ever had your youth gather singing the national anthem and your government sent soldiers to shoot them in cold blood? How do you begin to compare 17 million to 250 million? In Nigeria for over 20 years Boko Haram has slaughtered tens of thousands and this is controlled by politicians. I'm yet to see a more wicked and backward nation like Nigeria. Due to ethnic and religious intolerance some Nigerians would rather vote for a goat than a competent human being. That's how bad it is. Let me tell you. In Nigeria, the major tribe from the East are fanatical Christians. The tribe from the North are fanatical Muslims. The tribe from the West are mixed. The hatred between these three is like that between North and South Korea. I love Senegal, but please keep the comparisons aside. There is no basis for comparing both countries.
