Dangerous, Mali as a country is on path of destruction with this development. Nations are not built this way. Overthrowing Sagari's govt was still a major mistake in our history.

I never saw I as mistake....

malakaimoscondo:
oga , whether u like it or not,the coup is a welcome development for the Malian people....forget abacha and ibb comparison... nobody was even happy when abacha seize power... one man political ambition is not bigger than that of a country... when u are Democratically elect of not,,once the people said go,,,leave the stage,,their voice is the voice of God...without them,, u can have a country... can the president and his family only form a country..... Malians have decide..... our own army here are helping politician who are enemy to rig election

Go and read Nigerian history.

All the coups in the past....the way they are rejoicing in Mali is the way we were rejoicing in Nigeria when we had coups that threw out the corrupt polticians.

And at the end of the day? It always ended in tears.

Millitary rule is evil. As an example. Buhari, in 1983, overthrew Shagari's regime which was corrupt. He jailed a lot of corrupt polticans. But...and this is where things get nasty...he also jailed innocent people without due process.

Buhari, as a civilian leader now, could not even put Saraki in jail when Saraki was doing shakara for him. He had to wait for the next election.

Even Buhari's prosecution of Magu...if it was Buhari millitary, na to jail Magu for 200 years, and even pass a decree that backs it up..without need for legislative approval. Magu had access to his lawyers self.

And all this agitation for Biafra and Niger Delta....under millitary rule, they won't even see the light of day.

France has responded, while Nigeria that should be leading the charge is quiet like the a mouse.

Myopic country.

Buhari on my mind

gambia:
The citizens have gotten to the point of no return. No peace path will work there now. This is what I mean when I said Nigerian military are weak, corrupt and useless, not helping matters in Nigeria.

It's not a coincidence that our military turned out this way. The decadence in the military started from OBJ era when he voluntarily retired the top warlords in the army just to save his head from any planned coup. Then subsequent leaders borrowed the script and that automatically became the norm. Today we have a military that has been infiltrated by politicians and the corrupt practices have become a trademark of our polity.

The army is supposed to be the last hope of resort when things go south in any country but that same army has been relegated to its lowest ebb here. Naija case no be here ooo...na only God fit redeem this country

Nigeria politicians and their President must be arrested by IPOB in Biafraland.

All this banana republic countries where some soldiers armed with ordinary AK can just arrest the president and change the government.

olaboy33:
As you can see from pics and videos, Malians are happy at the new development.

That's enough justification.

I hope the hypocritic US won't send armoured tanks down there in the name of 'democrazy'.

You say?

To the people thinking this is a good thing because the people are cheering, go look up the fall of gadaffi. Or Siad Barres military coup of 1969. People were really happy when those happened too and were cheering. Look at Libya or Somalia now.

When will Africans learn that military coups are not a good thing, that military dictatorships are usually corrupt, authoritarian, answer to no one and with Mali already dealing with things like Isis, this is not a good thing.

Can coup happen here in Nigeria again

We're way bigger than that now

Nigeria's government should quickly get the RED FLAG signal. Majority in the country are not happy. There is hunger in the land

God bless U. You are on point.

From the pictures taken, the people seem happy or were they coerced?

If that's why the true situation, then it might not be far from corruption which is common in most African countries.

Raydos:
Why are all black countries this disorganized, Poverty stricken and Corrupt??


Is it a curse to be black? I'm trying to figure something out!!

na curse

This is the only language African leaders understand.

Samystar003:
With the level of civilization in the world and great transformation that has come over humanity, these ones are behaving like animals.

History has taught us many lessons. Why will some people take the path that will surely lead to tears, pain and agony?

The reason I believe DEVIL is black

I don’t think so; there is a reason why Buhari is keeping to old idiiots as his service chiefs despite their obvious incompetence. He lets them steal as much as rhey like and do whatever they please, to keep them happy and thoughts about coup away from their minds.

If only the lower ranking soldiers who have been denied promotions as a result of this and have lost fellow soldiers, family and friends to Boko Haram and Herdsmen can be bold enough to carry out a mutiny and a coup.

SweetCunt97:
The people seem happy with d development

This is how it usually starts.

We have seen this script in many countries including Nigeria over and over. Soon, the same people will troop to the streets against the military after many years of oppression.

kikero:


And the Americans, as soon as they were in charge of their destiny, set up a democratic government, and made it treasonous to overthrow that democractic government.

Any American career millitary officer wanting to run for office has to resign first. (Eisenhower and Carter are two recent examples)

Plus, a war of independence is different from a coup.

it was a coup, because they were British people and British soldiers in a British colony on a Red Indians soil that they would later takeover and turn to America. If it was the Red Indians that revolted that's when you will call it War of Independence. But the people that formed America were ex-British people, so it was a coup against the British government and its oppressive monarchy that sent them there and put them there as a British colony. And the only reason America soldiers won't overthrow their Government is because they don't need to, because their govt is bound by law to follow the Constitution with checks and balances to remove any bad leader from government. And let me remind you of this:

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

That is the Constitution of the United States of America, written by the founding fathers, because they understood what is meant for people to be oppressed by their own government, because they were victims of the oppression of their own British government. So in America, "Coup" is a civil right when the Government is oppressive. Why do you think Americans riot at every case of oppression. Look at what happened just because one man George Floyd was oppressed to death. Serious riots all over America that shook the country. Now imagine what will happen if the government tried to oppress millions of Americans, the way the useless govt does here, there will be coup against that government. Either constitutional coup, military or armed civilian militias. America doesn't joke with freedom.

"DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE" the most powerful government document in America reads:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Let any Government do anyhow in America, there will be coup, even their Constitution commands it!

those rebellious and mutinous soldiers should respect the constitution of Mali and return back to their barracks and give way for elections that will bring in a democratically elected government.

The people are rejoicing now, I hope they will continue rejoicing. Because in Africa, the worse government comes after the bad one

Wetin you talk Are you not in Nigeria? If millions can be mistakenly transfered into an account and that millions remain there for years and someone come to say that the money was transfered in error, chei!!! There is God ooo.

There is nothing worng with democracy., Infact, at the risk of being called a white man slave, I'll say that democracy is better than other forms of government.

Under an autocracy, everything, including creativity is stifled. As a result development is stifled (that's why many communist regimes collapsed...because when you run an autocracy)

All the working democracies in the world today...the UK, US, etc...were once as corrupt as Nigeria. The reason why they work now is because people there realise that democracy does not end with casting vote. You act as a strong check and balance to your leaders.You fight for your rights using every available means. Most Nigerians just sit down and do nothing after voting day.

Civil rights for black people in the US was not won by MLK delivering a beautiful specch one fine day. It was won by hundrends of footsoldiers who did the hard work of organisng people to achieve a goal.

Here in Nigeria, we just vote and go home. We don't even ask questions, and we expect everything to be ok.

Democracy is hard work. High time we got to do the hard work. Because we have tried autocracy in Africa, and everytime it ended in tears.

How many times have we overthrown corrupt polticans, and hoped that the new army ruler would be the next Thomas Sankara...only to turn out to be another Mobutu. The truth is, we don't need a super revolutionary leader, we need to work within the system and change it from within. And it takes time.

You're right wish I can give you a thousand like democracy is hardwork we have to keep struggling going till we get it right

NaijaOlosho:
Arrest Buhari now

hate speech

May Almighty God blessed us with good Leaders, and the out comes be successeful, else the blood will flow but we don't pray for that to happened
