datribune:Ever heard of the great depression in 30s America? Do you know how poor Post war France and Britain were? Did American, French or British generals plot coups against their democratic governments then? |

okpurukata: He is back to right the wrong of the past. He also contributed to the collapse of the railway system in the South West but we are willing to give him a second chance as the two chances already given to GEJ seem like decades in HELL. Our rebased GDP is only on paper, NGN exchange rate continually heads down south, the youth are roaming the street without HOPE, foreign reserve being mismanaged and diverted for personal use. Would you rather watch this corrupt administration continue and perhaps offer your beloved fatherland FOR SALE? @Jarus may be able to educate you more on the reasons why we need the Return of the GENERAL without his Kaaki 1 Like |

duni04: Were d govts in America, France or Britain like d national party of nigeria dat was in power in nigeria in 1983?. No. A country dat u can compare wit ours back then was Ghana & they adopted a more drastic solution. Buhari's action was patriotic & that's why decades later & inspite of vicious media attacks, people who knew d goings on back then still revere him very highly. They ar not ignorant. They know what u don't know. |

Seun: Brother, he didn't make any mistake. At the time, military coups were the norm because Nigeria as a nation was still unsure of their footings. Obasanjo also led a coup but I didn't hear this much argument over him being sworn into civilian power at the time, most likely because Nigerians were just being introduced to democracy. I'd say he way really nationalistic to have overthorwn a corrupt government because it was obvious that the politicians were going to run the country dry. The same thing is being replicated by this PDP administration and as fate would have it, Buhari is now trying to do the same thing but in a more civil way. This administration is corrupt, shikena. APC is corrupt too but I personally feel that if we can get PDP out of power the elites will realise that the power is now back in the hands of the people. And also, the electorates will now be more aware of their power and with time will start demanding the same at the state and local goverment levels. 2 Likes |

joseph1832: I think it's quite hypocritical for you to ask her not to use her village as an example to speak against the 1983 coup while you have no qualms using your neighborhood as a yardstick in favour of the military. That coup was a big mistake, period. |

HNosegbe:I am surprised you fail to see the point being made. If she can use her village as a yardstick to speak against the coup why can't I use mine to speak for it?. If according to you, the coup was a mistake, to me, its not!. Period!. |

I'm disappointd because my idea of a 'seun' is this young wise much wiser beyond his age and who should serve more as a voice of reason/caution,not taking sides even though I'm sure he has his own personal opinion..he should serve like an umpire/moderator in sensitive issues like this..a million followers follow him and so it wouldn't b fair him taking sides in this naija quagmire As spiderman's uncle says, 'with great power comes great responsibility' HNosegbe: |

desdichando: Seun is first and foremost a Nigerian. He was a Nigerian before he set up Nairaland. He has dreams, aspirations and desires. I'm sure he has his own views and he is PERFECTLY free to express them. There's no reason why he can't speak freely about issues he feels strongly about. Leave him be. Meanwhile would you have posted this if Seun had expressed agreement with Buhari's position? 3 Likes |

No military coup in Nigeria again. Just 4get abt dat ur 1983 coup. One thing I believe is dat weda civilian or military, dere will always be corruption. Besides, what worked in 1983 won't work dis year. Besides, y are u stil talking abt politics in dis ur age when u are supposed to be resting and allow d rightful people to rule? How can some one who ruled 32 years ago wants to come back and become d president. Honestly, d youths are no more leaders of 2moro becos our father's keep being d leader even after 32 years |
