How can Nigerian Politicians even begin to compare themselves to the Americans?the majority of politicians are corrupt,desperate,greedy,selfish,and are not there to serve the people.they should be ashamed of themselves and be having sober reflections on how undemocratic and disgraceful the charade they call democracy is.it will take at least a hundred years of continuously purging corruption out of Nigeria/Nigerians and stiff penalties for greed,corrupt and selfish politicians,govt officials and anyone in authority that abuses his/her office before they can even justify being called democratic.that group of recycled immoral,shameless,corrupt and selfish predators do not even qualify to be called politicians.The country is quickly heading for anarchy and they compare themselves to the most democratic country in the world.how ridiculous.its like comparing cement block to a diamond.Name calling by the parties will not change the fact that Nigeria is a Big mess caused by them and others before them.
