This statement of 'an imminent coup' coming from abdulsalami,who depleted Nigeria foreign reserve to zero dollar during his short stay in power, is highly embarrasing and regretable....his interest in the rivers crisis has futher proved to us that Amaechi now has a northern step father. |

Monimatic: Where was Abdusalam all these while, he never gave any advice to the government, now that he and Babaginda Arch-nemesis and worst enemy (Major Al-Mustapha) has been freed from prison, he wants to start feeling relevant to the Political discourse.It's so obvious your psychiatrist is not aware that is idiot is missing. |

Why would any sane and reasonable person want a Coup when we all know that decades of military era brought us to where we are today ( people with amnesia won't know) The Rivers Crisis is very unfortunate but it isn't as bad as BOKO HARAM or Yaradua's absence from office. Yes, our politicians aren't delivering as expected, but all we need to do to change it is form an alternative and progressive opposition that will challenge in 2015.... And pls, do not compare Nigeria with Egypt. Nigeria is more heterogenous than Egypt,and much diverse. If Jonathan is ousted, and a northerner takes over, there will be calamity. Jonathan should be left to complete his term, and all Nigerians should press him to give us a credible election come 2015. This is how I thought the retired general would have spoken. You call yourself a general, a representative for the AU and have travelled to conflict ravaged cities, instead of you to uphold democracy ( which offers stability, growth and empowerment in the long term), you then speak in the manner of a Congolese warlord... If you are a Nigerian and you think Coup is the answer to the challenges we face 2day, it's either you unreasonable with low IQ or just too forgetful. 1 Like |

just two days ago, northern groups like arewa and others stated that power must go back to north in 2015. today abdusalam (one of them btw) is threatening a coup albeit indirectly. well, at least GEJ will not say that he has not been intimated how the north wants to get power back. the bone in their throat is ihejirika. they have to pass through ihejirika first. |

We all criticise Gen. Abdulsalams comment on the lingering political crisis in the states and in the ruling party PDP. It is important we note that wat has happened in Rivers state is enuf reason for a coup to be imminent,since the onset of our democracy 14yrs back the country still feels abandoned with masses complaining more than in the military days. Atleast one thing everyone is sure of in the military days is peace at all cost. Even as we speak poorly of the corruption and mismanagement in the military days, it is worse now adays with our so called democracy. Our law makers are law breakers, they uphold laws dat protects their lavish lifestyle. The country has withness mass looting in billions of Naira and Dollars, court cases that are endless and meaningless at the end. With such characteristics in the glare, there is need to be afraid where all dis brohaha will lead us if nufting is don fast. In the history of nigeria and in time memorial, even during the military era no time has the first lady meddle into the affairs of the state and the central government until now. The office of the president holds the vote of millions of nigerians and I do not see where the office of the first lady become political rather a previledge by the virtue of being a wife to the president. If a duely elected governor decides to make a law in his state regardless of her excellencey being an indigene does not give her express right to comfront the governor using illegal and hostile approach towards an elected governor. Politics is a game, u learn to play it everyday and odawise seek advice or consultations from people who hv been there before. I felt disgusted wen her excellency told the clergies dat visited her that she tried to stop governor Ameachi from destroying shanties in Okrika town. We shld ask her ova the last three years wat house owners have experienced due to road expansions, I wonda wat people in lagos wld say or do to governor Fashola? I see no regrets today if the military takes ova again, cos our politicians are bunch of money vampires, no vision buh with a mission to clean up the national treasury.Let the military take ova! Bunch of ignorant fools! Dey travell to Dubai and the united Arab emirates for holidays, is it not men like them who made the vision come real. Yet they come back home boarst of travelling round the world but nufting to show for it in their mother land, hw pathetic. Yet they charge the youth everyday to be law abiding and creative, wen even the environment is not conducive for indigenous creativity. For me let the military take ova so we know that the rules is obey the last order, not this rubbish we call democracy. Indeed, demonstration of craze! |

re@lchange: Pass through ke? Hell No! They just have to make sure ihejirika is the first casualty of their coup. Am sure the would-be coupists would have learnt their lesson from the first coup in the history of this country during which, the "bone in their throat" was given too much latitude to roam around Lagos unhindered and true to form, it was he who later quelled the coup. |
Re: Coup Imminent If Rivers Crisis Persists - Abdulsalami Abubakar by bonetalk(m): 4:13am On Jul 20, 2013 |
but, there has been issues like this in Ekiti, Kogi and even in the National House of Assembly in past, why should this one lead to a coup? |
Re: Coup Imminent If Rivers Crisis Persists - Abdulsalami Abubakar by WarriPikin1: 6:01am On Jul 20, 2013 |
Lord Fredrick Lugard himself said Nigeria should reasonably break up in 2014.After 100 years of forced unity. Nigeria is over due for a civil war that will finally set its trapped constituent nations free. On that note, i accept that there should be a coup by the northerners as a catalyst to spark the fire for the new dawn. |
Re: Coup Imminent If Rivers Crisis Persists - Abdulsalami Abubakar by Nobody: 6:28am On Jul 20, 2013 |
Pukkah: Although these politicians have become so annoying, corrupt and petty, military rule should be ruled out of our political space. I guess his comments is motivated by the recent experience in Egypt. A democratic government is by all means our best option for peace and prosperity. However, the level of corruption and complacency by the citizenry gives this impression that most of us want development while still folding our arms. I think everyone has obligations to fulfil for democracy to thrive. It is the duty of citizens to put politicians in check. The press and every other segment of the society has their roles. But It seems we've left politicians to go on unchecked. That is why they will continue to take us for granted and call every one fools by their actions. And come to think of it, if there were to be a coup today, who will have the boldness to challenge the soldiers ? |

What better way to mark our centennial anniversary. Nigeria needs a coup and a civil war to top it up. The hounds of hell are itching for a bloodshed to quell their appetite for Negro blood. I remember those beautiful feasts in hell due to the carnage of the world wars of 1914 and 1939. We have lots of room for the casualties that a Nigerian chaos will breed due to the adverse impact it will have on the whole of West Africa. Can't wait! |

kettykin: I asked a salient question which only one person saw reasons with me. well for those who dont know, a coup will lead to succession crises and a big crises in the army and in the country.Forget that thing. Give an Ibo man money or offer him the head of a parastatal and he will change camp instantly. |

Re: Coup Imminent If Rivers Crisis Persists - Abdulsalami Abubakar by Nobody: 11:47am On Jul 20, 2013 |
Let something be made known. Nigeria cannot survive another coup as long as the coup tries to install a hausa man. Nigeria would rather disintegrate. When a someone who willingly gave his position for a democracy now raises an alarm abt the failing of that same democracy which he gave his power as GCON for then I think we should all listen? |

Well, the title of the report seems more graphic than mentioned by Abdulsalami. He didn't particularly mention coup sha. Political unrest from crises is already happening. Politicians and citizens, let's note well. |

Kids have taken over Nairaland. what a pitty, most people on this site now lack ability to comprehend simple statements and appreciate what others say. Abdusalami Abubakar is not advocating for any coup, he is simply saying that the illegitimacy being enthroned in River State will lay the foundation or precedence for a potential illegitimate overthrow of Abuja. Why is this too dificult to understand? I share the Generals view and I agree with him fully. Nairaland has been taken over by people who are simply as dumb as the President! By the way General Ihiejirika is just one man! If there is mutiny in the Army it can consume both the President and the Head of the Army. This is not a time to be complacent. There is need to respect rule of law at all levels and Jonathan Goodluck is in no position to enthrone illegitimacy. It will serve him no purpose. It will threaten his personal security and trust me with the way things are going the overthrow of Jonathan will not mean much. The Igbos will not go to war just for the sake of Jonathan, he needs to stop engaging in ilegality. Yes The head of the army will as part of his duty defend the country and its security. But if Jonathan keeps engaging in ilegality or continues to allow ilegality reign he can actually get impeached! And I dont know why nobody has tried to get some evidence and take Patience Jonathan to court! She has no immunity from prosecution and her excesses need to be checked with court action if the President will not call his wife to order! |
