It is rather pity that Nigerians have gone that low to need much imput on democracy from people who either knew nothing about human liberty or had in the past abused it. I do not think there is any moral justification for people who forced themselves into power to turn around now to claim personal freedom, and individual rights of choice, as their speciality. We will never forget nor forgive the violation of our freedom and liberty. Therefore, let those who understand what it means to be free talk about democracy and elections. Let those who are or were experts in the act of violation keep their peace and enjoy whatever they thought would be their rewards in history.
