: Democracy in Nigeria has been marred with a lot of tribulations threatening continuity of this form of government despite what the nation underwent before changing from military regime to civil rule. These threats include rigging, victimization of voters, imposition of candidates, godfatherism, ethnic and religious hegemony with incidental crisis; lack of respect to due process, corruption, poverty and economic recession bred inter alia by bad governance. If the problems are not nip in the bud, it can lead to secession by an integral part of the economy; serious crisis or another civil war. These lingering problems threatening the sustainability of democratic form of government in Nigeria have triggered serious concern. Despite problems experienced in democracy in this nation and some developing countries, it is still patronised by many countries because of benefits derived from it which has made it to be embraced by them. This form of government which has fortified many developed nations has also triumphed and stable in those nations that had developed good legal frameworks and system of conducting hitch free elections. The contrary is the case of Nigeria where it is wrongly practiced. It has been discovered that the crux of the matter is that constitutional provisions and other legal frameworks are often breached and wrongly executed in Nigeria and many developing countries. These have inter alia been adduced in the past as justification for aborting democracy through military incursion. This paper has considered relevant local statutes, the international standard and the legal framework of countries that have been practicing democracy successfully for a very long time. This has assisted tremendously to reinforce the legal framework with strong antidote against the venom threatening the peace, sustainability of democracy and progress of the nation.

Financial education has become increasingly important as a tool for promoting financial development around the world. This article explores the relationship between financial education and financial development, highlighting the benefits of financial education for individuals, households, and entire economies. The article examines the role of financial education in improving financial decision-making, promoting financial inclusion, and enhancing economic growth. It also discusses various approaches to financial education, including formal education programs, workplace training, and community-based initiatives. Finally, the article emphasizes the need for continued investment in financial education as a key component of financial development strategies, particularly in the context of ongoing technological advancements and changing economic conditions. We will demonstrate the role of financial education in economic development, as well as in diversifying the range of financial products and services. In this article, we will also refer to financial education as a tool for consumer protection, supporting and strengthening innovation, as well as increasing access to financial products and services. Moreover, financial education is not an easy process to implement, as there are multiple challenges involved. There are no standardized approaches, but good practices observed in certain countries can serve as a starting point for the development and implementation of financial education programs.
