2:02
Nigeria these tenet shall be the pillars
2:04
of our true democracy it is possible to
2:06
further illustrate that we are not truly
2:08
Democratic and have only produced the
2:10
viices immigrated above we are now runed
2:12
as follows in the measurement of
2:13
democracy we have a democracy index
2:15
score of 4.23 which runs us low on the
2:18
global democracy index in the corruption
2:20
