Your task is to use specific evidence from Peter M. Lewis� briefing paper Performance and Legitimacy in Nigeria’s New Democracy as published in the 2006 issue of “Afrobarometer” to analyze how democracy is perceived in Nigeria.
In order to succeed you must use AND cite both the Lewis document and Mundt and your textbook. Your analysis should be 1-2 single-spaced pages and must be posted below (the comments link) by the time class commences.
I advise you to structure your essay as follows, though you may deviate from this outline as you see fit (I likewise envision a thematic approach):
I.The implications of history: evolution towards democracy
II.Analysis of the state of democracy in Nigeria 2000-2007
III. An explication of citizen perceptions towards Nigerian democracy
IV.The implications of performance on legitimacy: what needs to be done?
