Democracy day celebration in Nigeria, is the day set aside to celebrate the day the military hand over the government to the civilian rules, since the nation got her independence in the year 1960 from the hand of the colonial rulers. It was formally celebrated in the 29th May of every year, the day when leadership was handed over to the first civilian president of the country chief Olusegun Obasanjo by the military in 1999 since independence in 1960. But the adminstration of the recent past President, Muhammad Buhari changed the democracy day from may 29th to June 12, the date of the short lived elected President Abiola who also died after taking tea amids the discussion of his release from prison after the election cancellation by Ibrahim Babangida Junta. He died in the presence of Kofi Annan after a brief coughing inside hospital, 1993.

I will recommend, the world monogamy day, I would want it to be celebrated because of the people's ability to be contented with one wife reducing the family crises of poligamy especially in Africa. I would like it to be Commemorated on 5th of may of every year reflecting events of same issues in the 90s, the supposed date, and period when the man of a famous man called nwiboko, increased beyond his ability to recognise all his children. This commemoration, will mark the end of a incest marriage, a brother marring a sister unknowingly. And ability for man to make a family he can care for in every wise. It will end untold death caused because of property dragging in a poligamous homes.
