It's important to note that a significant reason why people in the Middle East hate America/Americans is because you support despots while taking about freedom and democracy. Democratic transitions are not easy, but I think human beings should be able to have a greater say over their lives. Do you wish to live in a dictatorship?
Depends I guess

Semblances of democracy exist in Nigeria but I'd rather live in a democracy than in a dictatorship in all circumstances. Philosopher kings do not exist. Living under a dictatorship is akin to making yourself a slave to the whims of another. At least in a functioning democracy, you have rights and some say about how you want to live your life. You also lessen the chances that you'll be under the sway of a despot who despises your ethnicity

It doesn't work that way at all though in Afrika. Why take a foreign concept that took thousands of years to develop and force it on underdeveloped countries just born yesterday (the last century)? Doesn't make any sense to me.

They weren't perfect leaders no one is saying that and no leader is, just guys who did the best they could in a fukked up situation (post-colonial Afrika).

Your contention with Sankara is just conjecture with no proof, he was a great leader and Burkina was at it's best when he was on charge, how was it under the 'democratic' Blaise.

Murtala

Say whatever you want about Nkrumah and Nasser but they were great leaders and are rightfully revered as such.

Ugh

Then why even support African states??? They were imposed on us by Europeans right?

Give me my village level Igbo democracy so I can stay away from despot sycophants like you

Senegal and Ivory Coast are 2 examples of democracies on track to work.

I don't really know about Senegal, I'm not directly against it if it can work, but with a lot of Afrikan countries, I think modern democracy is unworkable at this stage.

As for Ivory Coast, didn't they war over a vote?
