Useless African leaders!

Father Omar Bongo leads the country for 42 years and hands over to son Ali Bongo who has been ruling for 14 year now. Everyday they conduct sham elections and win with stupid landslides because "the people love the Bongos so much!".... Stupid African leaders always believe their people are idiots!

When will the Cameroonian military wake up from their slumber and move on that cadaver in their seat of power?

I’m gonna wait to confirm that this is not fake news.

But in the meantime, if it’s true, then congratulations to Tinubu, ECOWAS and their brainless warmongers. They now have more countries to invade.

After invading Niger, they will invade Gabon. Or are they going to invade Niger without invading Gabon? They have to mad not to.

I’m so happy right now, if this news is true. Because I’m sure ECOWAS was already waiting to congratulate President Bongo for winning Third Time in a “free and fair” election even though the report of the Gabonese Electoral Umpire shutting down their Electronic Infrastructure, like INEC did, and even removing names of opponents from ballot papers has been everywhere.

Another reason I like this is that the PEPT will see what is happening in other countries because of disputed election. People are waiting on them to do justice, failure of which no one knows what the outcome will be.

Democracy is fast becoming unpopular in Africa and it’s because of poor Electoral management. The situation where votes no longer reflect the wishes of the majority of the voters, their will be disenchantment with the people seeking alternative way out.

If a coup happens in Nigeria today, Nigerians will celebrate it because we didn’t vote for the idiot in power.

If the PEPT likes, let it insult Nigerians like INEC did, let’s see what the outcome will be.

I still don't buy that Abacha loot story. If truly Abacha looted, walahi it will be hard to trace it. For the wife then to boast that they still had money more than Dangote, is enough to tell you that the money claimed as loot is not stolen money. When countries are under sanctions they look for ways to move funds and store them to prevent the accounts being frozen so that they can be liquid. Gaddafi did it, Saddam did it, Fidel Castro did and so many others. If truly the US is tracking and returning loots, why is it hard for them to return the loots of other politicians in Nigeria whom I know have stolen far more than Abacha.

Abacha is the hero of IPOB criminals now! grin grin

You've already been recolonized. But this time around, the colonial masters are ruling via puppets.

So, you don't know Tinubu and the ousted Niger Republic president are west puppets?

The madness of stealing power by force must be truncated in Africa. The democracy has brought nothing but craziness of manipulating elections and impoverishing the people. The recent shambolic elections conducted by the INEC has set a precedence for other African countries. Maybe Africa needs to be recolonized.

At least you agree that Burkina and Mali coups were because of tenure elongation.why was bazoum not removed immediately like bongo?
People just use the election as a pretext to remove the bongo family.
The summary is that coup cannot happen in Nigeria at least not after just 3 months.why was there no coup after the rigging by obj? All the units in and around Abuja are under loyallists of tinubu,you can check the appointment he made after appointing service chiefs.
There is no perfect election anywhere.you cannot condemn election because of a few pockets of incidences.
Coup can't happen in Nigeria, revolution can't happen in Nigeria because APC has invested heavily on tribal division

In fact being able to Divide Nigerians is what's keeping APC in power... Make una continue

Who do you think carry out coups?

Most of the time, coups are executed by the low cadre officers usually Captains only few instances do you see officers higher than captain perpetrating a coup

Learn to comprehend it.

It is a NORMAL ! NORMAL !

It is the consequences of bad governance.

This khaki dance is getting to the shores of Nigeria very soon if the political class refused to change.

Nigerian will start hearing martial music on Radio Nigeria and a Major or Captain seizing power.

It is just a matter of time.

THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE SOLDIERS FROM POWER IS GOOD GOVERNANCE BY THE POLITICIAN.

See small Rwanda of yesterday.

They have climbed up the ladder in the African chart of developing countries.

Now our governors carry their BIG TUMMY AND BIG BELLY to go and spend the resources of the people to learn democracy and good governance in Rwanda of yesterday.

Is that not a shame?
