Fascism is the unchecked rule of a class of the privileged, or relatively rich, in power-a full-scale assault on poor and working people. Parliamentary institutions are usually set aside, or so demeaned as to be meaningless. Elites issue direct orders. Wages, any social safety net, working hour laws, labor laws; all come under legal (and extra-legal) attack. Fascism requires and is built on the support of capitalist elites, and the state run as a corporation is paramount for the elites who are shareholders. This differs from Nazism only in that in Nazism- State Power is exercised solely for the benefit of a race, and race is paramount.

Is Nigeria a fascist state or failed state?

,,

Nigeria is a big time failed state not a fascist state. Fascism and patriotism go hand-in-hand, and that's something that seems lacking in Nigerian leaders.

Great fascists in history were great patriots.

It saddens me to say this, Nigeria is indeed on the path of becoming a failed state. I say this because a system where govt has no control over its people, a system where the people provide for everything for themselves makes Nigeria become a failed state.
