I am not in support of army takeover either, especially since I used to tell tinubu supporters calling for army takeover in 2014 off.

You guys, anyone that disagrees with you apparently must be agbado. You better watch your thinking process, old man. Otherwise, you may call your relative agbado.

I also don't particularly like all our civillian leaders since 1999, they haven't done what needs to be done to make our country great. Including tinubu. So, calling me paid supporter is basically being abusive

Anyway, anyway

I know most Nigerians want a coup. Things are hard.

But a coup would not change anything. No matter what we want.

For starters, oil money is still a large chunk of our budget and oil prices are low. So any army government coming in is still going to face issues with low government revenue. And the resultant poverty. So expecting change is not going to make things better

Second, military rule is harsh. It's because army rule ended before the internet blossomed here that most of you don't know the harsh censorship of speech and freedoms that army rule involves. Like now, buhari shut Twitter down. Army rule would go further than that. They can shut this site down and arrest the owner and you can do nothing.

And you think army rule would be nice to people like mmk? Or even your local dissident? Maybe they would be even harsher on boko and militants, but they go be harsh on your secessionist leaders and so forth. Nothing like Biafra or death under army rule

I guarantee that you will cry for democracy within 5 years

Note that it does not mean that tinubu is good o. But army rule will make him look good.

Remember we went through this many times.

If you want better leadership, make we all join or form a party and work for change from within. Army would do a bad job of changing this country
Look like you are sent by APC.

You seems very naive or sentimental.
Saying someone started and someone won is a distortion of history, the sane people here and in all over the world knows who's the aggressors. Has Palestinians ever being a burden to anyone for centuries of years on their land? Until the West through Britain manipulatively brought the aggressor from Europe,planted and started arming them to displaced and destroyed the landowners. Anyways,the Palestinians shall be free from the river to the sea!
You keep saying their land,where does d jew came from? Am asking you.

Don't mind them. ISRAEL is an American military base in the Arabian Peninsula.

If there was so much interest of America in Africa, Liberia would have been made their base.
Is that what you use to console yourself?

ARABS versus United States of America and Europe.

There is no such thing as Israel. It is an extension of Americans and European migrants. The real Israel is in EXTINCTION. Otherwise was is 1948 all about?!

IRAN alone will demolish the so called Israel today if not supported by America and Europe.
Israel is extinct but Egypt, Syria Jordan,persia, Lebanon are still existing right?

Diversifying the economy will take some time, mind you. Also, it is subject to the issue of 'we don't control the price'

Ditto industrialization

So, taxes. (and some borrowing, until we raise enough revenue internally)
That is a "mumu" way to run a country
No economic diversification
No will to develop other resources : Humans,solid minerals, Agriculture they kick pdp out claiming they have d solutions.they are clueless on how to run a country.

1. By August 2022, debt was eating 90% of our revenue....and a large part of that was subsidy. Plus, the PIA signed in 2021, promised that subsidy would be gone by June 2023 at the latest. Guess you guys were not paying attention

Keep subsidy, and our debt would be high.

2.As for tax...our budget was planned based on the fact that oil would remain at least at 75 dollars per barrel...and even at that GOVT had to borrow 13 trillion naira. OIl has been below 70 dollars since last week of January. Also, oil has been consistently below our fiscal breakeven price, and we are relying on 1.8million bpd...which is enough for a nation of 2 million at best...not 230 million.

And IMF is basically hinting they won't borrow us more money unless...

So, taxes. Yes, tinubu government is bad, but if atiku or obi won, based on the above facts, would you let them borrow more money, or raise money from taxation?

This is not about politics, it is about realism, and the fact that we have been pretending we are as rich as Saudi when we ain't for decades. Years of pretence have caught up with us.
Let them find other ways to raise money must it be tax & borrowing?
