Democracy is not meant for Africa.

DrGoodman:
Coups happen because of greed. And a former coupist is still leading in some countries?

Evidenx:
MORE LOADING....EXPECT THAT OF NIGERIA SOON

Tapout:


Lol..I was telling my colleague that a coup will never take place in Nigeria under a democratic system of government and you know why?? Because of Corruption and "The manner these service chiefs are appointed into office." Change that, then we might have one.

vedaxcool:
Or the West keeps destabilising and sponsoring these coups once a leader refuse to do their bidding?

Africa has no any suitable system to adopt.

The past system is impossible now because Africans are not spiritualists as before.

The Commander, United State of America African Command, General Stephen Townsend, has attributed the spate of coups in some African Countries to lack of good governance and corruption.

In the last 18 months, the military has seized power in Mali, Chad, Sudan and Burkina Faso.

Speaking during a virtual press briefing on Thursday, Townsend disclosed that the US government and military frowned on the development, saying that it was undermining democracy in the continent.

He said, “Soldiers are undermining democracy in Africa. I cannot tell you why there are so many coups in Africa, I think the continent has enjoyed over 20 years of irregular and unconstitutional change of government but in the last year we have seen a number of them, I don’t know why all that is but it has to do with lack of good governance and corruption.

“The US does not support and condone unconstitutional change of government and the broader effect they have on democracy and the progress of democracy but I think the lack of good governance and corruption are behind much of that.”

Townsend also lamented the expansion of the Islamic State fighters in many African countries.

He said, “Military intervention alone cannot end the expansion and the attacks carried out by these terrorist groups, adding that it should be supported by good governance and development.

“ISIS groups continue to expand, crippling towards coastal states and we have seen recent attacks in Togo and Ivory Coast, to me this attack shows the expansion and we are concerned about it.

“While military intervention is only part of the solution to this problem which we would continue to help local forces, we have had tactical success but we have to have the support of good governance and development as long as we don’t have this, I think the terrorists would continue to take advantage of this and continue to expand.”

With all due respect General, I disagree with you

engrchykae:
igbos are core democrats.
The problem is the imperialists dictates to us what is democracy and what is not.
Imagine France teaching Rwanda democracy and human rights when Rwanda 1994 happened understand France nose, France just withdrew their personnel outa Rwanda and let Rwanda burn.
Now France is disturbing Paul kagame up and down simply because the guy is making Rwanda Great

JosephXavier:
I still don't understand why a country with the worst terrible leadership that it has had and will ever have in its history didn't experience a coup

The leadership wasn't this bad back in the days when they were staging coups and counter coups in the past

Nigerian military only target the citizens and can't help enforce good leadership

They just can't learn from their mates

ButterBurger:
that's your own opinion

engrchykae:
Your problem is that you are not capable of intelligent discussion

ButterBurger:
there's nothing intelligent about your discussion, I already weighed the mass of your intellect it's below 1kg. That's your problem

engrchykae:
you are intellectually lazy.

ButterBurger:
you are one of the lazy people that calls others lazy. I've come to realize it that the people that calls others lazy are the very lazy ones, obviously you and your president are best examples.
You're practically useless

engrchykae:
I repeat.
YOU ARE INTELLECTUALLY LAZY.
