Abstract
By May 2009, Nigeria's nascent democracy should have been a decade. Thus, the thrust of this paper is an in-depth analysis of the possibility of sustaining democratic values beyond any sudden reversal. The paper, however, takes a cursory look at the daunting challenges, ahead and infers that unless the government increases social expenditure and truncate the current brazen corruption, the hope of democratic consolidation may eventually be a mirage.
