Kasssandra:
Coups do not work, and do not solve the problems they are meant to solve.

Several months ago, Burkina had a coup, and most of you Nairalanders were saying that we should have the same in Nigeria.

Well, in 1966, we had a coup. January that year. By July we had another coup. By January 1970, millions of people who welcomed the new year in 1966 were dead. DEAD. For nothing.

In 1983, they came again. Told us that Shagari was wrecking the economy...yet in one year, we were queueing up for food. When they came in, naira was less than N2 to one dollar, by 1999, it was N90 to one dollar...if not higher.

And yet on Nairaland, I see kids...yes kids...who were lucky to be born when we had democracy...calling for coup because they are mad that Buhari won in 2015.

How about people like me that are mad that since 1999, we have not gotten a great democratic government.? People like me that have never voted for PDP, or Buhari, or any major party since 2003, when I cast my first vote? Because we saw the same old people in those parties?

Yet, I don't want coup. Coup always leads to more problems.

Anyone calling for coup does not know how hellish it was. MNK that most of you like...if it was millitary ruling now, he would have long since shot him, and passed a decree and backdated it to cover his legal ass. And if any biafra supporter comes out, they would be gunned down in high numbers and detained in high numbers than what we have now. Same for oodua, same for even Boko Haram. There would be no freedom to protest, newspapers would be closed down, and they will pay you bad salaries, and you will dare not go on strike because...you would be jailed for protesting.

And coup always leads to more coups and more coups and more coups.

Better continue with democracy. It is hard work...but it is better than army rule. Army rule did not solve our problems, it did not make us a better country, it even wrecked the army...which it has not yet recovered from, and gave us wounds that we are still recovering from till today.

Sorry, but democracy is better.

Kudos to you sir. What a sensible comment you have in here.

Democracy is a better option but Nigerians are impatient, want miracle in all sectors of the economy.
Getting the right leadership is another problem in Democracy , notwithstanding Patient is the virtue we shall get there.

Spaxon:
Every Country's got their problems..


But I doubt if the Nigeria Army Generals could have the balls to dethrone a corrupt government.

They can do so not when retired general is still the president because of the respect they have for their Ogas.

BigYash:
At the bolded. How far Buhari? Did his age,make him a good president? Baba still dey steal,even sent cars to another country, without approval. You are the one who should use your head here. No let old man of that age deceive you,cux I blive you're young and your brain still dey work well.
As for Obaseki. He no get direction, na anywhere belle face. Today PDP,tomorrow LP , tomorrow evening APshit. Useless governor.. Ize Iyamu d cultist ,would have even done better.. Na Oshiomole talk talk and APshit uselss leadership pattern at the federal level, fvck that one chances up..

The Obaseki they are talking about is Not Godwin the governor of Edo state

Omo, see how they are castigating chimaroke today, somebody who they say he underperformed during his time as governor of Enugu, they rewarded him with Senator later on.
If chimaroke happen to be the one contesting for presidency, I believe he will suddenly become saint as Peter Obi just because he's from Igbo extraction .
The truth is that Igbo are clamouring for Igbo presidency because the believe it's there turn rather on past achievement and antecedent.

tsephanyah:
Delusional people.
Shouting is there time to be president, forgetting that first you have to be elected by majority of Nigerians.

If PDP gave the ticket to Igbo, APC will not even bother to campaign, cus it's just a walkover.

Igbos have to get allies and trust of Nigerians, not insulting everyone and acting all arrogant, expecting people to get behind them.

Yorubas did it and now they got the ticket in APC. Instead of y'all arrogant lowlifes to play politics and use Atiku to get to the finish line but NO, you choose arrogance all over again, shouting Obi will win 24/7 on social media, like the election will happen on social media.

Obi will lose.

Atiku will lose or win but PDP will stay in the north, the alcoholic wike think threat and arrogance will work, dude when Atiku and cos are in politics, playing big, wike is somewhere doing pity crime and cultism. Fcking thug

APC wins or lose but they'll never give ticket to SE.

Next year this time!

Next year this time!!

BIAFRA OR WAR all over again

Cus you people don't know how politics works.

Thank you so much, I thought I'm the only one seeing it from my own perspective cos I have said this countless time on this forum either in quote or comment.
The hard way the only way

djon78:
Abeg forget matter.
We are voting Peter Obi whether he wins or loses

We have been voting for PDP since 1999, what has it benefited South East.
Look at our roads messed up

Hate Buhari as much, he did South East roads more than PDP governments

What can we point as what PDP did for us.
It only benefited the big men
Nothing for the ordinary Easterner

I understand you my brother, Nigeria will be better in our life time. There's nothing bad in voting Obi and there's nothing bad in trying but inasmuch as Nigeria politic is concerned, we have to play along because the percentage. Ofuneducated in the country is far more than educated, even those educated some are senseless . I rest my case

gassbee:
why dont u channel ur anger to apc dat is in power dat didnt zone d presidency to d south east afterall hausa n yoruba have had their turns

why would you said so? PDP should be the one to zone their presidential candidate to SE because of their loyalty so far from 1999. Most importantly SE is yet to be president of this country.
APC cannot zone it to SE because majority of SE didn't support them during 2015 general election, thanks to SW who made PMB victorious ,hence the reward is what the are reaping today both positive and negative.
I believe that those wise among the SEasthers stick to PDP waiting for thturn . I therefore enjoin all those SE that left the party to go back to PDP and wait for their turn, should Atiku win the election come next year with lower percentage of South easterner vote, that alone can tempt the party to zone their presidential candidate to South south come whenever Atiku tenure ends. . That's how politics is being played.
Hmmmmm .......the truth they say is bitter.

Riversides2003
:
If there is award for the most useless governor, that should go to the ogun state governor Depe Abiodun.

Yes the man's underperforming is disheartening. There's nothing works in Ogun since sworn to the office in 2019.
Some wereys will still vote him cone next year election.
Shior Kelebe Tueh Iso

Chimaroke and the likes in the southeast who knows Naija politics better, know the contest is between TInubu and Atiku and since PDP failed to zone her presidential ticket to south, chimaroke and all the other PDP governors in the region will definitely queue behind Tinubu in support of the southern presidency .

Titogbanski:
Prof you sound as if sign the 2014 confab would have made it law and implementable....and you choose to ignore the uproar and opposition against the confab.

Really a surprise how you all spur this dry news of Jonathan this or Jonathan that after the 7 years of PMB

What he is sayIng is that, there is time for everything and opportunity comes not every time, we might not get that chance to make it right again foe a long time. He should have signed it.

“But when he then lost courage, we divided the result into three quadrants; one of which needed executive approval. And all he needed was to sign it, but he didn’t. I then met him and asked him to implement his own part, and he said, ‘Oh, I am coming back to the office. When we get in, we will do so.
He, Jonathan should have signed it, do his part most especially when he noticed some elements in his government was against it, moreso he was blinded by 2nd term ambition.

GeneralPula:
Stop this lies already. It’s disgusting to read. Nzeokwu didn’t start any coup to favor Baba Awo. Igbos started the coup to favor themselves only..

I hope you know that it was still Igbos that crashed the Nigeria regionalism? They didn’t tell anyone their intention. They believed they were smart and would hold power forever, but God pass them! The Biafra or death they’re shouting today is the harvest to the seed of evil they planted then. It’s Karma that’s flogging them..

So you were saying Yoruba didn’t tell obj this, shonekan that about bringing back regionalism. No, things are not done that way. National issue isn’t village meeting where decision can just happen. If Nigeria wants regionalism, then Nigerians together will make the decision to implement it. That’s how to do things..

You also said this... but na Jonathan, a man from a minority tribe, that is whom you and your fellow afonjas been wan use him head to break this national coconut, so that when kasala burst, una go deny am.

How do you mean? We voted for Jonathan in 2011. He sidelined us after winning and we kept quiet. So, break national coconut... How do you mean?

Thank you for this sensible response, exactly what's in my mind before reading your quotes.

Why all the bad guys wear Chelsea jersey, ? Na Chelasea fan do tuggery, kidnapping , thief and other vices pass for this naija.
Who no fear Chelsea fans no fear God o

Don't forget Wike is a lawyer and for that matter he will never give up. Until his conditions are met

RockHard:
Smh. So Peter Obi is a dull olodo pass Buhari sef. He submitted GCE to INEC but chose to brandish Oluwole certificates on social media. Naanu?? Yet his zombidiots have been loudest in castigating Bubu for much of his tenure as president. God don decide to shame and expose their hypocrisy. Naanu.

Alaye ,abeg lower the vawulence small.

Omo see achievement yakata
Many people has been coming out to tell the impact of BAT in their life and country at large and many will see come out to testify
.

Meanwhile , I have not seen or hear just one person testify about the achievement of either PO or ATIKU come their impact in life and country in general
Let us give the cap to whom it fit base on past records and achievements and let us shun hatred, ethnic and religious sentiment.

Perfectbeing:
There's nothing to scrutinize about the fuel subsidy. Government right from Obj (and before) up to Jonathan and Buhari paid subsidy.
The subsidy is taking a toll on our revenue and e gats go. There's no turning away from the fact.
Bola Tinubu has said it that he will remove it. That's a man with balls.

Though I hope Buhari removes it completely before he leaves office.

Are we still on this buying SUV for Niger?
Nigeria has been supporting smaller African countries right since you could type the alphabet. Nigeria will not stop supporting Niger even till after Buhari. Just because of N1.4 billion that you guys have been disturbing the whole internet for weeks now. N1.4 billion that can't even build a standard faculty in any Nigerian university.
N1.4 billion that's less than 0.001% of our security Budget.

On Budget padding.. even Buhari wanted to stop it and Senate nor gree sign Budget. And that's with APC being the majority of the seat o.. Is it Obi that will have no senator in labour party that will stop it?

Sensible talk, no matter what you say, they won't heed. Hatred has eaten deep that one can imagine.

Igboslayer:
Are you saying that because Buhari didn’t perform as expected and we have a better person within APC to do the job with proven track records of excellent performance we should not support him?

You want us to support a man that couldn’t achieve anything as a governor of Anambra state for eight years… that’s is so unwise in supporting a mediocre.

please tell them oo,
A thread was opened during dated back to 2012 here on nairaland castigating the performance of Peter Obi as Anambra state governor. The said link was opened by Anambra indigene and I have posted it countless times to prove to them but they won't listen because the are blinded by tribalism seek for Igbo presidency by all mean come 2023.
The link

PresidObi:
Ogbonnaya Onu
Chris Ngige
Sullivan Chime
Onyema
Orji Kalu
Rotimi Amaechi
Ken Nnamani
Rochas Okorocha
Andy Uba

They all lost after trusting APC for 8 years.

the contribution of southeastern in general is what'he meant not just a few people

If na Peter Obi said so, You go see them yapa for here dey sing his praise and persuade others to buy it as if na God speak

Goaaaal Sacho. Man U Lead

Believe him at your own peri, IBB will never tell you the truth such a master dribbler even at that age

YoungLionken:
This presidential race is obviously between Obi and BAT, with Obi emerging as the winner..

A core Northerner has rule for eight years, it's only fair that the south should take over...

writing Atiku off? A core norther who is the flag bearer of main opposition pantry, belongs to the tribe with largest number when it comes to voting capacity, a northerner Muslim .......hmmmmm


February 2023 will surely decide

omonighovic:
Don't allow them use tribal divisions cause you another 4 years suffering. Those trying to deceive you are being paid in dollars. They are part of the reason for high dollar naira exchange. If you join them to mortgage your future, while you don't have money to spend in the harsh economy, they will be spending theirs and travelling around the world.

Allowing tribalism becloud your sense of reasoning is giving room to enslavement.
Don't listen to their fake promises and do not be deceived by the gifts they want to use and deceive you.

In your country, students cannot school comfortably without cultists dealing with them. There is high occultism, sex for grade, money for grade and other vices. Their children cannot school in Nigeria in their quest to escape those vices. But they come to higher same gangs to win elections. Their children spend the best of money in biggest clubs in Europe and even wash their hands with costly champagne.

They do not seek medical attention in Nigeria because they know that expert doctors have flee to other countries. How long will you be praying to japa to go and become slave in other countries? Everyday your people abroad snap beautiful pictures to intimidate you. As if they are in heaven while you are in hell. Is it not about time you too started taking similar pictures to humble them. Why do you think it's difficult baba mi?

You cannot farm in peace again. You cannot travel in peace again. The possibility of you dieng prematuredly is daily flashing in your eyes. Tribalism or religion will not save you my brother. Your PVC is your power. If you vote the old order, they will assume it's business as usual and reinforce the same stealing. If you vote out the old order, even the new order will be afraid of what you can do and will behave properly. A word is enough for the wise.

VOTE WISELY.

who is the new order if I may ask?

Lashist:
Did you see how i avoided idiots like you here? I quoted her not to join idiots like you in spreading tribal hate but let me reply you...reasons why ppl like would vote obi is bcus he is better than tinubu not bcus of tribe...after what we have faced this 8yrs in APC regime, it wouldn't be fair i vote to vote someone that endorsed bubu twice, promised alot to everybody and delivered nothing, someone that is also as old as bubu and is sick. Someone whose vice has been rumoured to have relations with boko haram(meaning if BAT is president and dies, power will go to shett that have ties with boko). Obi isnt a saint but to me he is better..every single sin obi has committed, tinubu has done worse but if you feel tinubu is better for you, goodluck. Please avoid me the way i avoided a complete idiotic fool like you

Fool because I expressed my opinion? It's you a FOOL , who supporting OBI despite his ILL performance during his reign as a governor of Anambra state . Your tribe man opened this thread dated back to 2012 when OBI was Governor, read it and digest it to your empty big pot you call head

https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing#10195342
The above link justify why IGBOs are selling OBI because they want IGBO PRESIDENCY rather than CAPABILITY

Lashist:
Abeg use your brain...you don't need to join in this tribal bigotry if you have sense

That is the same reason why Igbo people are clamouring for IGBO PRESIDENCY not because OBI iS CAPABLE but BEING AN IGBO

Antimarraige:
That's your wahala oo Prophet tribalist, I'm proudly Yoruba and proudly Obidient

OBI wey no do anything or little for his people during his reign as a govern for 8 years.
