Seems like it was easier carrying out a coup in Dodan Barack then, unlike in Aso Rock
The barack's security architecture was breached many times in over 25yrs. It was a wise decision for ibb to relocate to Abuja

Yes, coz Babangida considered those things while building the Aso Rock. That's why the put all the necessary things in villa, like church, mosque, clinic. So that head of state won't be caught out easily

The world frowns at coup and besides, the Armed Forces are Multi Ethnic....very difficult to have a coup with that kinda setting
the world frowns at coup but more than 5 coups have happened in Chad, Niger Republic and other West African countries in the last 5 years and yet their governments are recognized and heavens didn’t fall?

Multi ethnic armed forces is reason why there is no recent coup in Nigeria? So Nigeria armed forces haven’t been multi ethnic since independence?

Are you sure you know what you’re talking?

Don't forget to add Major Ibrahim Taiwo the Second-in-command to Murtala Muhammed who ordered the massacre. Historically, innocent blood spillage runs in the blood of the Taiwo family as can be seen at the peak of the ENDSARS saga. His son, Brigadier-General Ahmed Ibrahim Taiwo, Commander of 81 Division of the Nigeria Army, the unit of the army that sent troops to Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos on the evening of yet another modern massacre.

Father and son below.
Taiwo was a commander? This is not true. Where una dey get this lie from?

Misplaced priorities. Has no one told this government that Nigeria is broke? Or have they borrowed more from China for this as they usually do?

Taiwo was actually a close Ally to Muritala. He assisted him in the counter coup that killed fajuyi and ironsi. He also helped Muritala to overthrow gowon. He was never second in command to Muritala Sha. He was just a close and strong Ally

Bring forth facts. Don't you think it is too early to sound foolish? Hopefully you'll provide alternative truth (legitimate) contrary to mine. I always stand corrected when corrected.

Obasanjo was the formal second in command to Muritala. Taiwo and Muritala were very close friends

Wise souls who knows Nigerian Politics would know that our failed Leaders are actually preparing for the break-up of the Country WITHOUT BLOODSHED. US & EU will soon have embassies in both Southern & Northern Nigeria. The North already linked itself with the Niger via Railway. North has started having headquarters of some banks in the North. Dordan Barracks will become Southern Aso Rock with new security and structural input. Tinubu know this before now but he was not ready for that, he preferred being a Nigerian President. If Tinubu looses APC Ticket the I see a New Country in the soonest time. The only Reason why Yoruba Republic is not exist is because of BAT Presidential ambitions.

Dodan barracks. The home of Nigeria's countless Military coups.

Perhaps. But I just think this set of Army officers are spineless and not adventurous, which is a good thing.
They NA has been diversified into divisions making it almost impossible to carryout a successful coup. Besides, asorock security is in layers, i don't see how you can beat that.

Are you sure you know what you’re talking?
1. Nigeria and those countries aren't on the same level and you know that.

2. The world frowns at it. That coup happened in those countries doesn't isn't a signal that the world supports it. Did ECOWAS, A. U support such?
Would majority of the countries in Africa support coups?

3. Nigerian Armed Forces have been multi ethnic since independence but you must consider what made coup possible at the time and why it's difficult now....

Try and analyse things happening within the Nigerian Armed Forces currently and you would have the answer.

Not easier but when you captured Dodan Barack’s your coup had a 99% chance of success. But for Abacha, Babagida would have been caught. And after the unsuccessful coup is what caused the fast Track of the seat of government to Aso Rock.
