The Vision of the New Nigeria is contained in a book
( LIBERTOCRACY ; VISION OF THE NEW
NIGERIA) written by Yemi Obideyi, a Sociologist.
In itself, the Vision captures the emergence of a
new nation out of the rubbles or decadence of this traumatized Nigeria. It
underscores the essence and ideals of a truly representative government, hinting
that any practice that compels a participant or candidate to invest a huge sum
of money to partake in or win an election (as usually done by political
parties) is in itself unrepresentative, misleading and segregational. Affluence
and or indebtedness (or a predisposition to any of the two) should not,
consciously or unconsciously, be imputed into the matrix of constituting a truly
representative government else it becomes a government of the few by the rich but
camouflaged for the people.
More importantly however, the Vision of the New
Nigeria harps on a brand new nation founded on the principles of Libertocracy.
This concept derives from the word “Liberty” and
the affix ‘Cracy” means the freedom to participate in government on the basis
of your profession.
By implication, this system of government takes
away money politics and deception
from governance. It is liberty to us for many reasons.
It unites all tribes without stress.
