INTRODUCTION
The
mutual and cherished relationship between politics and democracy cannot be
overstated. But the Nigerian people would have been happier had the same been
extended to education and Nigerian philosophy of Education. Politics, education
and indeed some form of democracy have been with us for a longtime.However, their proper understanding, application and extension have deluded us. Nevertheless, one must not waste time trying to narrate why Nigerian citizens have not profited more from either political democracy or formal Western education. In this paper, we examine and highlight the concepts of politics and democracy and how they affect the Nigerian philosophy of education. We argue that clear thinking is necessary for education to benefit Nigerians so as to facilitate national development materially, culturally, and politically. But we are mindful of the implications of the impulse to link democracy to universal education, and are of the view that though desirable, and a longtime goal, democracy flourishes on proper information flow rather than on everyone having formal education.
