Abstract: Public administration generally involves organizing men and material in view of achieving set goals geared towards the happiness of the masses. Nigeria as a nation since birth has deployed several systems of governance to power its administration, but failed to achieve this happiness in its citizens. The paper reviewed the present democratic system of governance in Nigeria as well as the practice of Religious Community Life system of the consecrated persons in the Catholic Church. This review resulted in generating a governance model involving features of both Democracy and Religious Community Life systems. To arrive at this model, the paper deployed data collection methodologies of book consultation, participatory observation and interviews. The paper nevertheless notes that in as much as the efficacy of this model is guaranteed if deployed, leaders as well as the entire masses must equally brace up for absolute disciplined life and frugality in spending. The paper strongly argues that with this mixed systems of Religious Community Life and Democracy in place as administrative model for Nigeria, insecurity, unemployment, non salary payment that causes incessant strike action by workers, corruption of all kinds will give way to rapid development of the nation and happiness of the citizenry, which constitute the default goal of any administration.
