The crisis of democracy is on a global scale. This crisis is reflected in the increasingly low turnout at elections around the world in the last two decades even in the advanced democracies. This underscores the transformation of democracy to periodic electoral rituals which mutes the voice of people and enthrones the tyranny of the minority with big pockets. With neoliberal globalization, the market represented by powerful corporations and capitalists with huge donations as well as individual “moneybags” in the advanced democracies and Africa respectively has increasingly compromised democratic outcomes through elections. The key issue behind the façade of democracy globally is the amoral nature of the economic underpinning of democracy which makes for self-interest and monetization of democracy. This chapter argues that the failure of democracy as a system of government in Africa is traceable to the neglect of cultural values which served as an integrative force in many African societies before the introduction of foreign systems of government. It is argued that the absence of requisite home-grown values and their internalization by political actors are mainly responsible for the decadence that fills the pot of our politics and polity. We present ‘Omoluwabi’, a central world view of the Yoruba people enshrined in demoluwabi as a veritable alternative to reconfiguring the disjointed governance structures in Africa, and consequently strengthening the epistemic content of the democratic space. We support this with the conditions necessary for the practical realization of demoluwabi as an alternative system of government. This is so because to succeed and flourish, a governance system must be underpinned by a cognizable cultural and moral foundation. It is instructive that while the capitalist ideology which provides the foundation to the liberal Western democracy emphasizes individualism, the African culture emphasizes communalism as the basis of social and political relations. These foundational opposites constitute a major challenge to the thriving of democracy in Africa; hence the need to strike a balance between the two conflicting cultures in an attempt to institute a governance system that is people-focused and geared towards development in Africa. It is against this background that demoluwabi; the government of omoluwabi, by omoluwabi and for omoluwabi is hereby proposed for Africa as an alternative contextual mode of democracy in the continent.
