The word ‘democracy’ derives from the ancient Greek term ‘demos kratos,’ roughly translated as ‘people power.’ By its definition, it means that the authority to legislate rules and laws lies in the hands of the people, i.e. it is they who hold the sovereignty. In theory, all the people would voice their opinion on how their affairs should be run, as they would be in the best position to judge what would be best for themselves. However, the reality of democracy is far removed from this.

A zahiri, dimokuradiyya tsari ne da ke ɗaukaka mutane zuwa matsayin Allah ta hanyar ƙarya. Sakamakon haka, mutum mai rauni, mai saɓani da iyakantacce yana samun ikon faɗin abin da yake daidai da abin da ba daidai ba.

In actuality, democracy is a system which falsely elevates human beings to God-like status. As a result, the weak, contradictory, limited human being is conferred the power to propound what is right and what is wrong. So, on the weight of people’s whims and desires, and taking into consideration their prejudices, fallibility and ignorance, laws are made for other people to follow. Thus, a bus driver could have a say in a country’s economic policy, a cobbler would be able to dictate how the government should be structured and a waiter would be asked for the best way to organise the foreign policy - all regardless of whether they had any knowledge whatsoever about the subjects. Clearly, the system arising from such a process would be full of inadequacies.

Haka kuma, babu iyaka ga abin da za a iya yin doka a kansa a cikin wannan tsarin da mutum ya ƙirƙira, muddin rinjayen mutane sun amince. Ta haka ne dimokuraɗiyya za ta iya halasta mafi munin laifuffuka - kamar zina, luwadi, miyagun ƙwayoyi da sauransu.

As well, there is no limit to what could be legislated in this manmade system, as long as the majority agreed. In this way, democracy can legitimise the most heinous of crimes - such as adultery, homosexuality, drugs etc.

Hakika, kamar yadda tsoffin Helenawa suka koya, kafin su watsar da shi a matsayin hanyar da ba ta yi aiki ba wajen shirya al'umma, gaskiyar dimokuradiyya tun asalinta ita ce ta wasu mutane kalilan da ke umarni ga talakawa.

Indeed, as the ancient Greeks learnt, before they discarded it as an ineffective way to organise society, the reality of democracy from its conception was that of a few individuals dictating to the masses. It was, and indeed remains so until today in every ‘democratic’ country in the world, rule of the majority by a minority of politicians driven by the desire to fulfil their own interests.

Saboda haka, ya bayyana dalilin da ya sa yanayin da duniya take ciki a yanzu ya nutse zuwa irin wannan mummunan matsayi.

And so, it becomes clear why the state of affairs that the world currently finds itself in has sunk to such low depths. The adoption of the Capitalist ideology, riddled with inconsistencies and utilised as a tool by the rich and powerful to exploit and control the world’s resources, has taken its toll. The outcomes are plain for all to see, and the havoc that results pervades all parts of the globe and all sections of its community.

Dukkan bil'adama a yanzu suna kan mararrabar hanya. Tsarin mutum da akidun da ake da su yanzu sun gaza matuƙa, suna kawo hargitsi da halaka duk inda aka aiwatar da su. Ana buƙatar canji.

The whole of humanity now stands at a cross-roads. The current man-made systems and ideologies have failed miserably, wreaking havoc and destruction everywhere the are implemented . A change is needed. This change must be comprehensive, must work and be the correct way for mankind. Is there a way out for humanity? Is there a solution?
