Nigeria's democratisation efforts since attaining political
independence from Britain have been tumultuous and have spanned
over three successive republics. A persistent bug decimating
Nigeria's democracy and repeatedly leading to military coups has
been brazen electoral violence perpetrated by the nation's
political elite. Nigeria's 2019 Democratic Experience analyses and
explains what went wrong in Nigeria's experiment with democracy.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and the world's seventh most
populous nation, also contributes 70% of West Africa's population.
She is sub-Saharan Africa's largest oil producer and has remained
Africa's largest economy by GDP since 2014. The country has
hundreds of diverse ethnic nationalities and languages grouped into
36 states (or federating units) and an independent federal capital
territory. Though recognized as Africa's largest democracy, her
democratisation process since the 1960s has remained tumultuous
with massive electoral violence and political intolerance. This
repeatedly compelled the military to intervene in the nation's
political history in the years 1966, 1983 and 1985. It is these
developments that provided the motivation for this volume to
capture for posterity the conduct of the 2019 General Elections in
Nigeria.
