Nigeria Should Adopt the Swiss Cantonal System of Government

I am baffled. I truly am. I used plenty of well-researched, coherent and persuasive arguments. You should take whatever my opp. is saying with a grain of salt. This is ridiculous. Anyways, I will rebut my opp's arguments. - My opp misconstrues what I am saying. I do agree that Democracy doesn't work in Africa, and I do agree that Nigeria's current style of government is based on American-style democracy. However, Nigeria is based off of it, its not even a democracy, it just has the parts of it. Nigeria is a Federal presidential republic! I never stated that Africa should evolve its own style of government. Overall, my opp is misconstruing evidence and my arguments. -I provided logical arguments to say why doyin's 1967 evidence is wrong. I didn't necessarily need to provide counter-evidence, but just why his evidence is wrong. And again, it is wrong because 1) Its outdated 2) His evidence only applies to the Western World, thus it has nothing to do with Nigeria. -Nigeria is prospering, according to Citigroup," Nigeria will get the highest average GDP growth in the world between 2010"2050. Nigeria is one of two countries from Africa among 11 Global Growth Generators countries. " Even though poverty is increasing, it is going to get better, because if the GDP is rising, then it will trickle down to the people, reducing poverty. -My opp's C. point is irrelevant as he is just saying that Africa has language based tribes and clans and is similar to the world, which is somewhat is, but that doesn't show has Democracy works in Africa. Also Doyin states that " The US-style and various European styles of democracy simply aren't designed to work for multi-lingual and multi-religious states; that much is evident from the Belgian (a multi-lingual European country) experience today, and from the Swiss experience before it evolved its cantonal model. " WHAT THE HECK! !! !! ! The United States has a multi-lingual and mutli-religious state! It is crumbling. Disregard my opp's argument. -My opp. states that If "TheLDDebator wishes to honestly counter my true claims about the Swiss model all he needed to do was to cite one example of a multi-religious and multi-lingual country (i. e. , not linguistically-homogeneous or have no dominant language group as I described in my opening debate post) that practices a different form of government than the Swiss and is more successful than Switzerland with regards to all measures of freedom, economic progress and political stability, or that is in fact in the list of top 10 "most developed" countries. " The United states is better than Swiz, being one of the top nations in the world in terms of the quality of life according to the OECD. Also its economy is bigger and better and it is overall better than Switzerland. The reasons why you should vote for me: -I had great conduct, never bringing down my opp (I can't say the same for him) -I rebutted every argument of his, with evidence and logical arguments -My arguments still stand, such as; Nigeria and Switzerland are two extremely different countries, thus the government cannot simply work there, they are too different, there would be bloodshed in changing governments, Nigeria is already doing well being one of the up and coming economies according to Citigroup etc. -I proved that the Swiss Cantonal System will not work for Nigeria and is Ineffective The reasons why you should vote against my opp (its different than ^^) -My opp has constantly misconstrued my evidence and my arguments, as you can see throughout the debate -My opp hasn't successful taken down any of my original points, or the points brought up throughout this debate, rather provided weak evidence or arguments that I would easily counter -My opp is stating that because the Swiss Government works in a Multi-Lingual and Multi-Religious Society, then it would work in Nigeria, and as I stated before, you would need to reform everything about a nation, plus Nigeria and Switerland are two way different countries. My opp. also allows for bloodshed to occur, when Nigeria changes governments. Overall, my opp hasn't successfully proved his point. In conclusion, this has been a long debate and if you read it all, wow, but thank you.
