These francophone country sha.. Its unfortunate that France is still ontop on these people till date..

Burkina Faso does not know the kind of problem they’re into. It will take them more than 50years to get back to normal. Coup is never a good thing. Not because the military can’t rule well, but because Military’s rule is dictative. Nothing really concern them about the nations law..

Nigeria should be thankful it was British that colonized us..

Libya has been reduced to nothing today because they didn’t use their head, which lead to the death of gadaffi. Nigeria is still suffering from the 1966 coup till date one way or the other..

msrcusgarvey6:
You just finished a poem. If I can tell you that same military leadership that had education free or material free in primary schools and owed no salaries,pensions with transportation system intact etc. Mind the citizens you are writing this to. I am offended.

Princedapace:
A lot of these stuff are caused by the west. Same way America caused coup in Ukraine in 2014.
These guys alwyss have serious backers from the west

Racoon:
No brave men in the Nigerian military any more.

Realguyman1:
At the bolded, are you talking to the Igbo or the entire Nigerians?

Then back to the topic. Bro I don't see anything different between the military government and the civilian government. I rather prefer the military to be ruling us, so that we will know that it is goverment ruling us against our own wishes than for we to use our own hand to elect one nonsense fellow to be ruling us anyhow and will even go as far as using the police, military and the dss to oppress us.

You were able to highlight out some point like how the military government met dollar at about #2 and lef it in about #90, but u forgot to highlight the point where the nonsense civilian government of now who met it at #90 have now make it close to about #1000.

By the way, dollar was nothing closed to #90 when the civilian government took over power in 1999. Dollar was between the range of #20 to #25 when the nonsense civilian government took over power then. So u see how the civilian government have dragged us back within just the space of 23years?

Coup everywhere in Africa...

And little time now we will see the head of states converging and convening together for one useless Africa Union (AU) meeting. What is the use of such Union, when things are falling apart everyday. The whole of Africa countries are almost engulfed in coup.

This will surely set doom for democracy in Africa. Other country military will feel motivated by the successes recorded in those coup.

Obi is not a Muslim; do you except him to go mosque because of election



Reason why we need to have a very strong leader, that appeal to everyone, be it muslim or christians. Generally accepted in all corners and regions of Nigeria, north especially because they are the ones that controls the military.


Imagine someone like Obi as Nigeria president, a man whose people are hated by virtually almost all other regions in Nigeria due to their envy and hatred for others. Especially the Northern part.
A man who started off by going from churches to churches instigating christians against the muslims. That a religious body like CAN have turned a political group, leaving the gospel preaching to antagonising other political parties at every little chances they have because they field a muslim vice candidate. Isnt that an invitation to religious war been instigated?


God abeg oo... It will be recipe for disaster.

Nigeria military of today is replete with chicken hearted men! Am nt encouraging coup, d fear of it by civilian govt reset their brain

benardtotti:


Unfortunately you are preaching to the choir, Nigerians don't believe in hard way or work to success , they want instant success and solutions to their problems ,that's why we are where we are even after over 20 years of democracy since 99, even this Peter Obi I pity him cos if he by a stroke of luck wins next elections he can't solve nigerias problems in 4 years ,same folks shouting his praises will turn on him ,just watch ,his first poisoned chalice will be subsidy removal .

worksmart:
Any time an anti-western regime gets overthrown it is almost invariably sponsored by the West.

Just watch and see what the new regime does next , my bet is that it would soon re-establish friendly relations with France, EU and US.

So coup still dey in vogue for Africa? A young buhari in military of 1984 can't take 5% of nonsense of buhari as civilian president today

The West doesn't care about Burkina Faso. As far as they're concerned, it's a black hole.

I made my contribution very clear sir.
It is my personal opinion, this is a public forum for christsake. Do you expect everyone to share same ideology as yours. Dont be delusional sir.
I just stated my own opinion, why dont you try contributing yours and leave mine alone. The forum is meant to share opinion. And i refuse to be swayed into submission by online bully like you.


Shalom.

But why have Africa refused to grow. Developed countries are talking increasing tech, research, innovation and inventions, we are still struggling with coup, old leaders that refused to rest, corruption, rituals etc. Na who do us this thing abeg?

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.

France has nothing to do with this coup, neither does Russia or the USA.
