Bro everything is not written in black and white Queen Elizabeth was powerful more than any prime minister in the uk forget paper talk.
They play behind the scenes doesn’t mean they’re weakened. Please research about the wealth of the royal family in the uk before you say they’re not powerful.

Monarchy European, Arab nations , Africa are the same thing. The only difference is that Arab , Europeans, Asians have better management than Africa monarchs their people have higher standard of living compared to Africa.

For me I don't have problem with the number of terms or longevity of a president, as long as he is offering good governance, even if he stays as a life time president, what is the benefit of changing president every 4 years and each successive president destroys the country further.

Bring a good man that will offer good governance to Nigeria, if he like let him be Chinese, Indian or any tribe from Nigeria, I will give him my support

the King s are not supposed to be among the list the are not elected

chopnaira:

Abdusalami is still respected today in Nigeria because he is the only military ruler in perhaps African history to relinquish power.

NaijaSumigan:
I never imagined that Nigeria will get to a point where we would wish we had a Military regime as government.

Democracy isn't working for us in Nigeria. What we have are corrupt politicians without solution. They don't know anything as it concerns governance and what you don't have, you can't give.

Since I was a child till this very moment, it has been same complaints and same set of corrupt fools parading themselves as messiah's but once they get power, it becomes obvious they came for selfish means.

We need to re-evaluate the kind of governance we are practicing cos it's obvious Democracy isn't the way forward for Nigerians.

I strongly advocate for a Military regime in Nigeria...

Those monarchs should be removed from the list . Gulf countries practice monarchy , Europe and Asian. Stop making it seems like monarchy is bad in Africa but good in other nations .

LegendHero:
I think it has more to do with actual performance. It’s not only Africa that we have longest serving presidents. But the main thing is that what did they achieved.

—Russia president for almost 23 years.
—Turkey president now serving for 20 years.
—Singapore president serving for almost 20 years
—Ireland president now serving 12 years
—Chinese president now almost 11 years

The monarchs in Africa are more autocratic than the monarches in Europe.

Spain's king, for example, serves at the pleasure of the state...he doesn't even own the royal palace..it is owned by the state. The UK monarchs started stripping their powers from the mid 17th century... the PM has more power than the King . Japan's emperor was weakened by the USA after world war 2.

African monarchs, and even Arab monarchs are more autocratic than European monarchs. The King of Eswathini has more power over government than the UK King.

nairalanda1:


Actually, the UK monarch has less powers than they did in say the 17th century.

In 1649, the then King was beheaded by his people. 13 years later , his son was on the throne, but he kind of signed an agreement....In 1688, the then king was kicked out and replaced with his niece and her husband. And so forth.

Most of the power in the UK is held by the Parliament, and the PM. The current monarch is basically ceremonial. Ya think the Monarchs of the UK wanted the colonies to go? Nope. But the PM and company then decided.

It is the same thing with most European monarchs.

Once upon a time, a European monarch could do and undo. Now, they can't. Their kids can even be called as witnesses in court cases, and be sued.

It's because you don't read history. If you did, and you saw how many European monarchs have been removed, especially countries like France, Rossiya and Germany...and even Austria and Hungary....and Greece...all had kings, all gone now....compared to the power they used to hold centuries ago, you go see.

tollyboy5:

You jumped from 1688 to the present monarch and call him a ceremonial king. You yourself you've not proving how he became a ceremonial king. Was queen Elizabeth ceremonial? or was her predecessor ceremonial? what makes the current king ceremonial?

You seem to be concluding things base on general misguided speculations.

Obasanjo wanted to go this way through his Third Term Agenda but patriotic Nigerians stood against him.
