Democratic Rascality


Overview

From 1999 to date Nigeria's unique type of democracy has continuously evolved, albeit surreptitiously with the emerging generation of politicians unexperienced in the philosophies and technicalities of political discipline and practice. These politicians often have no formal political education and do not adhere to any code of conduct, with insufficient exposé to the rituals and kernels of our national constitution and ideal. Consequently, they have adopted approaches to political participation that have introduced aggressive rivalries, with an avid desperation to win elections at all cost. Thuggery, snatching ballot boxes and result sheets, and other such phenomena have become a common characteristic of elections all across the country. This book explores Nigerian's current political position, its evolution and its resultant eco-system through the prism of the Rivers State experience. It scrutinises political cultism and militancy in the state and beyond, the reaction by stakeholders in view of the political survival of the Nigerian democracy and the economic imperatives of restructuring our federation. Alabo T.O. Graham-Douglas has written a timely and important book about modern Nigerian politics and its effects on the larger society extrapolating on the prospects of the future of the nation. Democratic Rascality is an exciting, exhilarating, informative, and educative book, worthy to be read by Nigerians, especially the youths of the Niger Delta Region, in order to appreciate the historical background of our people and the seeming future we are laying out for the next generation through our actions and inactions. - Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark OFR, CON
