The shortcut to redeem Nigeria is to create a truly independent and uncorrupt INEC where the Chairman is not appointed by anyone. Corruption in INEC has never allowed Nigerians vote to count. For 25 years of uninterrupted democracy Nigerians have never witnessed a free and fair election.
So the chairman would be appointed by extra planetary being? The pope would not conduct any election any much better than what we currently have. The people who sell thier votes, polling agent for parties, inec and security officers who are bought over, the people who vote along ethnic and religious line etc The change would largely come when the majority of Nigerians mindset shift and understand this country belongs to everyone. Are their lapses in the previous elections yes are there things that could be done to improve the process yes of course only if majority of Nigerians understand the rules and are willing to follow and defend it. Have elections improved in Nigeria definitely yes "there where times where results where announced when voting was still going on, ballot papers with no serial numbers etc" , are the changes slow? yes. but that is one drawback of democracy unlike dictatorship we have to keep at it and continuously work together to improve the system and our Mindsets. Now is the time to talk about lapses from the previous and ways to preventing same but we have to come to the realization that even with those changes if the average mindset does not improves the improvement would be slow.
Listen Nigerians, without holding those politicians, tugs, criminals who kills, confiscate, threatened voters and snatch ballot boxes, Nigeria will continue to dream about genuine democracy period. Accountability matters.
These panelists have never disappointed and Mr. Charles Aniagolu is quite the journalist I must say!!! However, Prof Okey Ikechukwu and Baba Yusuf stood out for me!!!
Nigeria don't have president
Nothing to celebrate in democracy day
Tribalism have turn Nigeria apart,we need to go our separate ways 😢
Charles is a legend with the intro
The intro is the problem. The tone and the contents took sides and were very subjective.
Bro give him credit..The country led by APC is a mess and proper objective presentation is needed...Just Like he has done it🤷♀️
Thank you so much Charles for the members of this panel. They are keen minds of the south. We appreciate them and their views deeply.
Prof. Okey top notch
The military has always done better than these crooks.The military built all the refineries that they couldn't maintain,All the major infrastructures in Nigeria were built by the military,From 1999 till today,The so called democracy didn't deem it fit to fix electricity problems,not even 1 refinery to avert energy crisis in the future,bad roads etc.
Thank you my brother
Democracy have not done any Good things for the Nigeria economic instead Democracy have put Nigeria in suffering and hardship and hunger. Democracy is a course to Nigeria nothing to show military regime build third mainland bridge and the refinery we have that the Democracy cannot maintain.
One of the most insightful interviews have seen in recent weeks
Nigeria political class appears to be the poorest ever in the surface of the earth. Shame is what they are.
Nigeria is an expired nation, too large,too large to contend, please divide the peacebly, not by blood
What is the size of the US in terms of size, what about other countries?. It’s not about the size but the leadership and management of the country. Bad leadership is the result of the situation we have in this country today.
Thank u charles for taking on those who sound like a broken bottle, that they need to go harder
The debate that's going on, no one has made mention of INEC, that has made Nigerians lose interest.
Charles is a great journalist.
He's far different from some of them in that arise tv.
Great delivery from the guest as well.
Ballance discussion without unnecessary emotions.
Professor Ikechukwu spoke my mind -- at this point, Nigerian electorate has to be held accountable for its parochial approach to politics and democracy. Voting on accounts of tribe, religion, and 'what did you bring for us' (stomach infrastructure) can no longer be excused on account of poverty. Nigerian people should be enlightened enough, at this stage, to not vote for convicted felons; to not vote for anyone who bribes them; to not vote against anyone based solely on ethnicity and religion. That Nigerians keep violating these norms of democracy -- which eventually usher into offices crooked, inept, and visionless persons -- is as retarding to Nigeria's growth (though to a lesser degree) as are kleptomania, avarice, nepotism, religious huckstering (like spending billions on hajj to Mecca), etc. of Nigeria's leaders. Granted that leaders of Nigeria, especially since 2011, have failed the people and the country colossally, it is time that the led were held accountable for their corrupt contribution to Nigeria's democracy since 1999.
He spoke your mind? 😭!
That is how they always bring Igbo "intellectuals" to come on their platforms to showcase their empty rhetoric.
Well done report Charles!
Nigeria need a turnaround urgently
Nigerian problems are politicians, pastors, and intellectuals (too much professors with no sense). All they do is speak Grammer. Sad
Great and highly educative and enlightening discussion..It was really enjoyable listening to this.thank you all panelists and thank you to Arise!!
Prof. Abiodun never takes a position on issues. He likes playing safe. He is neither here nor there. He lays bare perspectives for or against an issue but never takes a position.
Exactly my thinking..
Nothing to celebrate in democracy P m price is 800 per litre Nigeria we don't have president
Nigerian has to dissolve Western democracy, and introduce African system of government, that reflects our culture and tradition. Oath of office should be taken on the God of ancestors.
Nigeria can not work and e will never work why is we are not one we don't speak the same language we don't have the same sistem we are not the same goo we are not one let everyone go on his way to his father Land
What an intro on tough medication 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When a society axiom allowed everything and no average standard of what cannot be accepted, is where it brought us.
Value is eroded and the even what was seen few years ago we need to improve we're now singing it as a golden age. We cannot keep only mesmerizing the past without ingenuity of imagination to chat a new path.

This is my problem with Prof Adeniyi, always trying to massage the issues and downplay things. Our rulers are criminally paid and their access to our funds are unrestricted. With all the grandeur that comes wtih office, Their failure still screams to the high heavens because the eat up everything. So thank you Charles for pointing it out that we should be a bit more firm in calling their failures out.
Typical Sub Sahara Africans: Too much grammar without practical solutions. We need successful entrepreneurs such as Dangote, Elumelu, Adetola, Adenuga. Innoson Chukwuma, OVIA, etc to show us the direction for productivity.
Sometimes, i don't really understand this professor, Adeniye he just talked for a long time without making any sense.
Oh! You have noticed that too. He says a lot without saying anything at all at the end of his discussions.
Compare the 3 speakers and you can see for yourself
The man sits on the fence he is scared to offend people.
I actually noticed a long time ago .
Well done guys for your observation!
The clown is never specific… always beating around the bush.
That is the classical "Y-Ronu" behaviour you get from people like him
He is seeking for political appointment from the government of the day!
FRAME 7:00 "...he (Abiola) was a MUSLIM but...contributed to the building of CHURCHES..."
A "Muslim" Yoruba building "churches?" Yet fools are still wondering why he was rejected by the powers that be as Nigeria's president?
Nigeria is a democracy ?
Prof Abiodun's views are never clear and straightforward
Prof.
What.. of..oso.
ABIOLA.?.?
Nigeria..is.. not..poor..we.cannot..manage..our..cleptomaniac
Anytime you allow prof okey Ilechukwu to cough that’s indicated entering another gear however good job by all the panelists and the host. I hope all our leaders are watching/listening? Long live Nigeria.
Over blown account of the true situation in Nigeria. Your top-notch team is a group of liars who are not saying the truth about the global economic situation and that suffering and insecurity did not start with the Tinubu regime, and hopefully, the situation will get better for Nigeria. Enough of castigation.
Useless and Shameful coming from you sir defending Thiefnubu 🤦♂️A man who finally destroyed Nigeria with buying inec and judiciary also stealing people's mandate

This Olufemi must be a barefaced liar.how can any sane person be defending these old political rogues like Tinubu what have captured Nigerias resources and brought only shame and poverty to us.tribalists and praise singers is why the oppressors are wrecking havoc till today.
@olufemi, it look like you are among this breed of the ruiner politicians. Stop living in denial rather ex ray the truth for positive reconstruction of the country.
Emelokan 😂😂😂has spoken we know is your turn.
