Gabon's former President Omar Bongo had 70 bank accounts, 39 apartments, 2 Ferraris, 6 Mercedes Benz cars, 3 Porsches and a Bugatti in France.

He ruled for 42 years (from 1967 to 2009).

His son, Ali Bongo has been President since 2009.

He has just been overthrown in a coup.

What do you mean by overpopulation, do you know the population of China yet their country looks like heaven.Do you know that more than 100 persons crosses the zebra line in guanzhou in morning yet you talk of Nigeria been over populated. Until we face our problems in Nigeria,those people remaining there will keep suffering. Was it not democratic coup that happened between tinubu and obi, yet we want things to go back to normal so that we can buy fuel 100/L

Skankamola:

And we are still harvesting from abachas loot, we cant even talk of ibb. Do you have any idea we got into the current mess as a nation? How the federal civil service(including nigerian airways, refineries, seaports, railway corp, nitel, nepa, nipost...) were grounded through nepotism and corruption during the military era? You have any idea how many critics of the govt were murdered or jailed?
While not clamoring for a military take over but rather a civil revolution like the Arab spring. I put it to you that the issues you raise are common place today in civilian rule.

Abacha loot: Do you know the looting of mere civil servants today make Abacha loot child’s play? An AGM stole 80b, while under investigation another 90b stolen by same man was uncovered. Or is it the ones stolen by the governors, their deputies and commissioners which they have perfected by contracts inflated by 1000%? Don’t even go to the federal sector; Buhari stole 500b monthly using min. of humanitarian affairs alone and he has how many ministries? Have you ever juxtaposed the cost of projects today under the civil rule with what is obtainable elsewhere? Is it the overbloated cost of governance where governors, deputies, speakers and their counterparts in the federal sector each has over 1000 aids and each and everyone is stealing? What the government of Buhari stole will blow your mind if another government could take over. They have borrowed and stolen the future of even your grandchildren unknown to you.

Comatose industries: We have had uninterrupted democracy since 1999(24 years), where are the new ones? They are still coming to campaign to use that they will build common roads, they are still awarding same roads to their cronies without execution. We are basically still where we are and even worse off. Do you know almost all basic landmark infrastructure Nigeria can boast of today was done under same military?

Nepotism: obasanjo coined ijawnization under Goodluck, while I believe you somehow missed the recent fulanization under Buhari, which ultimately emboldened even the maurading herdsmen. You missed the famed presidential body language.

Critics murdered/jailed: lol, where you in Nigeria in the last 8 years or did you miss how they weaponized hate free speech under the guise of hate speech? How the Dss went after everyone who dare spoke against government. The reason Reno was in exile for 8 years was not because he ever stole. Tell us about funsho Williams, did you miss what Umahi did to the opposition in Ebonyi state? Or what wike did to even fellow party men that challenged him in rivers?

Point is no one is good, but military has proven to be a far lesser and cheaper evil than this civil experiment. They have successfully weaponized poverty and the people cannot even revolt! Nigerians are now used to adjusting! Everything you pointed out is 100 times worse under civil rule. We need a change, we need revolution.
