Democracy is a camouflage used by the political leaders to conceal their the main system of ruling which they practice. Have you never wondered that the same rulers who ruled during the military system are still the same leaders in the democratic system. What do you expect from them? They cant change from that system because it is what they first practiced and hidden beneath their mind and soul the military spirit still resides in them. I have seen videos of people voting and at the end of the vote the military men are the ones who comes to take the ballot boxes. Which it is not how its supposed to be.
The thing is most of this things are very common in Africa some Asian and Arabic countries, you see them saying things the way it's supposed to be openly but practically doing a different thing, democracy has never existed in Africa, what we have here are recircled political class, in one of the African countries I know which I won't mention, what happens their is divide and rule,the political class don't care about the personality of the incoming president or governor, it doesn't matter to them, what matters to them is what they stand to gain.
The video you just mentioined that you have seen has proven to you that what they call democracy is good as fallacy, there is nothing of such that exist, what we see today is autocracy, the system is very porous that individuals that are supposed to talk get compromised with bribe and if you refused to accept it you die or remain silent forever to prevent you from dieing, it is too bad that things has gone from bad to worst.
As far as I know, democracy is just in lips, if there was such a thing, there are countries that are very rich in terms of natural resources, infact some state are very rich in terms of natural resources but the statutory allocation given to them looks like when you are gifting someone money, in democratic system where federal system of government is been practiced, this things don't happen but it is unfortunate that democracy has been humiliated to the extent that it's existence is just a mere talk to deceive the outside world from knowing the exact happening within the political class.
