That guy would have been a bigger tyrant ( all Nigerian soldiers are potential ones), just that he ruled for only 6 months are never had much time to unleash his true colours on Nigerians. I do not have any reason to celebrate any Nigerian that participated in any coup or counter coup as all coupists are criminals. God bless Nigeria. 52 Likes 8 Shares |

luvinhubby: It depends. He also kicked off the return to democracy...that ended in the Second Republic. (Indeed,one of the reasons for overthrowing Gowon was because Gowon said that a 1976 return to democracy was no longer feasible).Obasanjo just merely completed the democracy project started by Murtala He was also very tough on corruption, and he himself returned his own stolen loot back to the treasury. One other thing....he was accused by a newspaper of using armed soldiers to loot a bank...and he....went to court, and sued them for libel. And won his case.(Note..how many army leaders have gone to court before or since) Yes coups are illegal. But in my opinion, the reason why they succeed is because Nigerians sit down at home and do nothing. And also because the political class too make a mess of things.(See the Second Republic....where corruption was a real problem). 19 Likes |
