Especially when you piss off so many people at the same time.
Now turkish people may be at the mercy of ISIS bombings since
their friend no longer calls the shots.

accord. to reports

Shym3xx:


Erdogan has been a crazed lame duck for time now. He has to go for negotiations in Syria to happen.

There's no way he can survive this.

plaetton:


Actually, ISIS depends 100% on Turkey for supplies and trade.
Besides, the Turkish army is in the best position to totally annihilate ISIS.

Missy89:


Well that is pretty easy. The only big compaines in Saudi Arabia is in the oil industry. Turkey on the other hand is much more diverse.

Secularism is secularism. Gulen and Gulenists are not secular. They are religious zealots. Research who Gulen is. You evidently don't know.

GDP per capita

Saudi Arabia: $ 31,300 (2013)

Turkey: $ 15,300 (2013)

If we go by the GDP per capita and omit the fact that Saudi Arabia is less inclined to adopt our values, we can clearly refute the statement that Turkey is economically more successful or better developed - for now.

Bro!! I will appreciate if you don't get things twisted.

Morals and orientation is our major problem here in Nigeria regardless of Northerners influence.

Kindly take religion which is the opium of the masses here with us out of the context.

We are ripe for democracy yet as it is obvious we compare ourselves to developed and western countries for good.

With military rule. Stability and control will be absolutely adhered to no doubt..

With such upbringing and availability of all needed facilities, we are on the verge of getting things right first, subsequently, democracy can be introduced for good.

Think deep and digest my opinion.

Peace be upon you bro.

I wish and always concur for a true and profitable Nigeria....

Missy89:


Morroco has a better gdp per capital than nigeria. Which economy is more developed and dynamic?

NairaMinted:
Sultan Erdogan fanboys, where are thou?

Erdogan's plate was full: repression of the press and heavy handed crackdown on freedom of speech, providing aid jihadists in Syria and Iraq and allowing them free unhindered access through Turkey, illegal cross border incursions into Syria and Iraq, the genocidal crackdown on Kurds where several Kurish cities were wiped out, shooting down a Russian jet which in turn tanked the economy when Russian tourists stopped visiting and the general instability that Erdogan's actions brought upon his country are all possible reasons why these brave military officers have staged this coup

Erdogan's apology to Putin and his move to seek a detente in relations with Russia and step back from his ill-advised and delusional goals came too late. Good riddance!

Why do i have a feeling this coup wont be a sucess. Taking too long

50calibre:


And how are you certain of that? Don't be silly.

You think it's a coincidence few weeks ago Erdogan tried to mend fences with Russia?

He obviously could sense power fleeing from his grasp.

A coup isn't an impromptu action, it takes time and planning, alliances has to be formed. This coup is as a result of a combination of both internal & external factors.

Don't be surprise when Russia becomes the first to recognise a new military government

Appleyard:


Putin's words in the wake of the SU 24 downing, we will remind them over and over again.... How payback must be a sadonistic biitch!

Ezenwammadu:
The greatest irony is that Endrogan

Who banned or restrict Facebook
Bans or restricts twitter
Who hates the social media in general
Banned street protests

Is on face time begging for people to protest in the street for him while he is running to Germany

plaetton:

Well, if you can recall a similar situation in Egypt not too long ago, all the US has to do
In fact, John Kerry has already spoken, and has surreptitiously telegraphed the US support for the this " unanticipated transition".

Rather than condemn the coup outrightly as would have been expected of a big Ally of Turkey, he was somewhat circumspect when he said " we look forward to restoration of peace and continuity".

That tells the whole story.

Mindfulness:


Going by the GDP per capita, Morroco has the more successful economy at this point in time.

And people don't care if wealth is brought to them from one or different sourcess; just ike you wouldn't care where the millions come from as long as they keep coming. This is the mainstream perspective and pretty much explains the success of many dictators.

neocortex:

I was actually referring to underground ISIS sympathisers such as the the France's
Nice attacker who carries out attack to gain credibility.
The main ISIS army won't be much of a trouble to Turkish Army.

50calibre:


Well hopefully he doesn't regain control

He's been a barking mad dog hiding under the umbrella of NATO, now he's been relegated to making FaceTime calls

Shym3xx:


Reports are still fluid and you can't really say where the coup came from. If it had been from the west, they would've told him to leave the country immediately. Even the gulf states have been quiet thus far. I think it took everyone by surprise.

He'll be lucky to survive this.

hotwax:


You are an idiot. CNN correspondence have foot on ground. We are seeing things on live cam.

Black man share..its the...

50calibre:


What! You a bumbling mor*on. So what has seeing it on live cam got to do with anything?

We are all seeing it live. What's your point?

plaetton:


I get your point.
And you're right.

Shym3xx:
The next coup would happen in Nigeria.

Hopefully, the military would beat the shyte out of the illiterate population before restructuring the country. I said it here first.
