When Nigeria got her independence in 1960 there were high hopes that she would become one of the greatest nations in the nearest future. Those who made this prediction were not wrong because Nigeria has what it takes to become great. In terms of population, it is not just the most populous but also one of the most talented in the continent. In natural resources, very few countries in Africa can boast of the resources the country parades. However, when these endowments are placed side by side with development in the country, the result becomes discouraging. Currently, one may assert that Nigeria is or at the point of becoming the poverty capital of the world looking at the rate her citizens are fleeing to other countries in search of greener pastures. Using the method of documentation and conceptual analysis, this study examines why Nigeria has not been able to translate its potentials into development indexes. The investigation centres around two research questions: 1) what is the relationship between the lack of development in Nigeria and electoral malpractice and 2) is Nigeria's inability to translate its potentials to development caused by executive abuse of powers. The paper discovered that moral decadence in the form of electoral malpractice and executive recklessness are the root causes of Nigeria's political and economic backwardness. It recommended the formation of an enlightened populace who will not only reject but also fight these two ills through civil resistance as the philosopher's stone that will save Nigeria

This essay presents a case study (the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States) in order to analyzing ongoing changes at domestic politics and foreign relations of a world superpower. It portrays a qualitative analysis informed by a bibliographic revision of the aforementioned topics. 2020 began with President Donald Trump dully avoiding an impeachment trial and trumpeting his divisive economic achievements (at the expenses of World Trade Organization and US partners). His mastery of a self-professed "art of the deal" at least seemed plausible as a set of political stunts. On the other hand, the Democratic Party remained splintered. The impeachment attempt put the party on the back foot, propelling POTUS' premature campaigning. With populism on the rise on the world stage, for a while – it seemed – Trump could stand a chance at reelection. At the shadow of a global epidemic, Trump's walls and fiery unilateralism fell down pretty quickly.

politics is a gray area does not know which is right and falsehood. In the political world is not the technical term is "wrong" all the steps that must be "right" and "systematic" does not care whether the way is used hurt or benefit others. In the political world does not know friend or foe whom is eternally eternal interests. In this paper, Abu Ala Maududi is as one of fundamentalist leaders to write his thoughts on women in pakistan political activities that are not consistent in Mawdudi's view. Maududi never support a woman become president by supporting the candidacy of Fatimah Ali Jinnah became President of Pakistan, and on the other hand he states that women should only work in the domestic sector where she should not be working in the public sector, including the President and Parliament. This shows that the political purpose for anyone, including the interests of fundamentalist Mawdudi.

General description of women's participation in the political world in Indonesia representation is very low at all levels of decision making, both at the executive, legislative and judicial levels in the government bureaucracy, political parties both in other public societies. In this case the low quality of women's participation in politics occurs in Bali, namely in the executive ranks. Likewise, at the echelon II level, there were no women who obtained the position, that is, from the number of village heads in Bali there were no women who held more positions as lurah, even if there were only a few. In addition, in the organization of the Lembaga Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (LPM) in Bali, it is rare and there may not be women who become the Bendesa Adat or Bendesa Pakraman. This is also evident in the management of other organizations such as youth clubs and sekuna teruna. In an organization like this it is rare to find women becoming chairpersons or electing a chairperson as chairman or vice chairman. Based on this, a gender perspective is considered by involving men and women in the basic decision-making process of democratic work that will lead to equality.

The study of the kyai is always interesting to discuss, especially when it comes to politics. Because the study of clerics is a multidimensional statement. This means that the study of kyai can not only be seen from one aspect (kyai as a religious figure) but can be seen from other aspects (his views on politics). Therefore, the involvement of the kyai in the political process of the regional head election is inevitable, because the kyai is one of the local elites who can contribute to the process of political learning in democracy. With its charisma is able to provide knowledge to the community in making choices. However, the involvement of the kyai in politics can also have a negative impact on the learning of democratization, because it is not uncommon for the kyai who has close relations with his students to use these weapons to gain significant support that can divert the political choices of their students to win one of the candidates supported by the kyai the. Because the santri relationship with the kyai is not only limited to the world of pesantren, but also has an influence in determining political choices. Ideally in the realm of Democracy, aspirations should not be represented by elites in direct elections, the people are fully entitled to weigh, evaluate, and propose candidates for regional heads and choose who is suitable and considered worthy of being their leader through the processes and mechanisms that apply. Likewise with the regional head Candidates, their political rights should not be castrated by the existing elite by marginalizing the nominating exchange because they are not included in the nominated deliberations. However, this is not the case in Pamekasan and on the contrary, regional head candidates are determined by the existing elite (kyai) and submitted to political parties. So that regional head candidates do not come out of the conversion process within political parties but are born from external parties. At this point, there seems to be a process of duping because it is assumed that the people cannot choose an appropriate figure as their leader. This mindset is very hurting the course of political development in the country. Today's people are getting smarter, being able to distinguish which leaders are good or not. Therefore in determining the candidates, the people's aspirations should not be taken over by the elite. If this problem continues then it is at this point that the Democratic Fetus has been killed at the hands of the elite. ; Kajian tentang kyai selalu menarik untuk dibahas, apalagi jika berkaitan dengan politik. Karena kajian tentang kyai merupakan kaljian yang bersifat multidimensional. Artinya studi tentang kyai tidak hanya bisa dilihat dari satu aspek saja (kyai sebagai tokoh agama) akan tetapi bisa dilihat dari aspek yang lain (pandangannya dalam berpolitik). Oleh karena itu keterlibatan kyai dalam proses politik pemilihan kepala daerah tidak bisa dihindarkan, karena kyai merupakan salah satu elit local yang dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap proses pembelajaran politik dalam berdemokrasi. Dengan kharismanya mampu memberikan pengetahuan kepada masyarakat dalam menentukan pilihan. Namun, keterlibatan kyai dalam politik juga bisa memberikan dampak negative dalam pembelajaran demokratisasi, karena tidak jarang kyai yang mempunyai hubungan erat dengan para santrinya menggunakan senjata tersebut untuk memperoleh dukungan yang signifikan yang bisa mengalihkan pilihan politik para santrinya untuk memenangkan salah satu kandidat yang didukung oleh kyai tersebut. Karena hubungan santri dengan kyai tidak hanya sebatas pada dunia pesantren, melainkan juga mempunyai pengaruh dalam menentukan pilihan politik. Idealnya di dalam alam Demokrasi, aspirasi tidak boleh diwakili oleh elit didalam pemilihan langsung, rakyat sepenuhnya berhak menimbang, menilai, serta mengajukan calon kepala daerah dan memilihnya siapa yang pantas dan dianggap layak sebagai pemimpinanya melalui proses dan mekanisme yang berlaku. Begitu juga dengan Calon kepala daerah, hak politiknya tidak boleh dikebiri oleh elit yang ada dengan cara meminggirkan dari bursa pencalonan karena tidak masuk dalam nominasi yang dimusyawarahkan. Namun tidak begitu dengan yang terjadi di Pamekasan dan justru sebaliknya, calon kepala daerah di tentukan oleh elit-elit (kyai) yang ada dan diajukannya kepada partai politik. Sehingga kandidat kepala daerah tidak keluar dari proses konversi didalam partai politik melainkan lahir dari kalangan ekternal elit partai. Didalam titik ini, terkesan ada proses pembodohan karena diasumsikan rakyat tidak bisa memilih figur yang layak sebagai pemimpinnya. Pola pikir demikian sangat melukai jalannya pembangunan politik di tanah air. Rakyat saat ini sudah semakin cerdas, bisa membedakan mana pemimpin yang bagus ataupun tidak. Oleh karenanya dalam penentuan calon, tidak selayaknya aspirasi rakyat diambil alih oleh elit. Jika masalah ini terus berlangsung maka didalam titik inilah Janin Demokrasi sudah terbunuh di tangan para elit.
