Today, we commemorate the return of civil leadership in Nigeria. After several years of military rule, Africa’s largest country began a new journey as a republic. On 29th May 1999, a newly elected President was sworn-in and since then we have transitioned successfully as a democracy.
Nigeria observes May 29 as a public holiday to celebrate this great stride.

Nigeria is:
- like Germany a Federal Republic
- has the biggest economic power in Africa (in front of South Africa)
- mainly exporting petroleum
- has still some challenges to manage (eg. Supply of clean water 💦 and poliomyelitis), but will have the power to manage this.
And I believe: Has the most active LG Community in Africa!!!!
All the best for you Democracy Day!
Democracy is not the easiest way, but by far the best.
