The UK is enjoying a long weekend off with today being its bank holiday and so is Nigeria.
Patriotism is jumping off the roof as Nigerians celebrate today’s bank holiday – Democracy Day. Many took to twitter to voice their take on #democracyday and (mostly) ordinary citizens say there is nothing to celebrate given Nigeria’s economic conditions, its ailing President who is in London, and a corrupt government.

The day is observed May 29th annually, to recognise the end of decades of military rule when power was handed over to democratic ex-President Olusegun Obansanjo in 1999.
