"NIGERIA DEMOCRACY_A BLESSING OR A CURSE TO THE NATION" By: Isa Abass Usman

democracy by definition and dispensation suppose to be a blessing to any nation practising it including but not limited to Nigeria in Africa.

Democracy is a blessing to every country that has practiced democracy the right way. Mark my words *“the right way”*.

The cornerstone of democracy is freedom. Freedom to live and let others live, Freedom to do the right thing otherwise be prosecuted to the highest degree that the law permits without any fear or favor. .

Nigeria is a great country, blessed with both human and material resources. The politicians in Nigeria have really messed up the country with the exception of a few. Corruption is at a level never imagined, democratic structures are too many and are very expensive to maintain. There is total neglect and lack of planning for the next generation of Nigerian.

The youth are living without a future The supplemental sources of Nigeria’s revenue built in the 60’s and 70;s are nonfunctional or dead due to lack of leader with foresight.

The problems caused by the actors of Nigeria democracy are many but are there solutions to these problems; my answer is a bold *YES.* Nigerians are brilliant and have done well in the communication sector. The financial and technology sectors are quickly catching up with the world. The basic need of an average citizen – Clean water, power and light, road, food and employment are lost.

Nigeria is like a man that fell from the top of the Eiffel Towers, he needs treatment for different parts of his body to survive his injuries.

*There is hope for Nigeria……*

The So Called Queen By:Salawu Olubunmi

_The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
