DEMOCRATIC KAKISTOCRACY IN NIGERIAN POLITY

Abstract

Nigeria, which was imperially colonized between 1884-1960, regally birthed in 1914 and sovereignly republicanized in 1963 remains an annexed (rather than an amalgamated) country of many fragmented and disengaging nations that have been drowned in socio-economic quagmire through tribalized-ethnicism cum politicized democratic kakistocracy leaving her polity with an endemic bad leadership, enthronement of corruption and mediocrity. The researchers while writing this paper find out that democracy-with its multifaceted problems and Kakistocracy-with its glaring flaccidity, have left Nigerian governance stinkingly odious and malodorous corrupt.
