If they want democracy to be better thing in Africa expecially Nigeria there should be a provision in constitution to allow citizen vote every 3 years if they can continue with civil rule or military rule.

Wainey:
I still wonder why you people think we should give military rule a chance.
You have no idea what military rule feels like

a4cube:
tinubu is fighting the northern Nigeria is he sends troops to Niger. That is the feeling from the north as indicated by the poster.

Rossikk:
I'm not a northerner, oga.

Please leave ethnic considerations out of this discussion.

a4cube:
Where did I say you are a northerner?

Irrespective of where you come from it doesn't negate the fact. Let's hope he is not pushed by the west to do their bidding in Niger.

Well said Wainey.

These pro-millitary rule people don't realise the constitution is suspended when there's a coup-de-tat which effectively denies them of their basic rights.

Under martial law, you can be picked up at any time by the milliary regime, have your assets seized and have zero recourse to the courts.

Abacha and Babangida tó name But two were even more corrupt that any civilian administration and they are meant to be disciplined military people.

We should be very careful what you wish for just because our candidate lost elections.

This particular Niger coup is so loud I wonder why, there has been other coups the West African subregion in the past 5years, but this one is just something else. Too much attention has been given it.

IamANigerianMan:
Military government was far better than this useless democracy, do you think if it is military rule they will be bandit , Boko Haram.. Naira and dollar would been competing .. Democracy is a curse in Nigeria.

Kukutente23:
BTW, Op is high on colos. The poorest country on earth just had a coup and that's a sign of Africa Rising.
God punish whoever gave him weed

Kukutente23:
Blame Tinubu and his Zombies. They have turned it to another Igbo vs Yoruba matter especially since the coup happened less than a week after their god took ceremonial office a Ecowas head which actually lasts for one year and is rotational. Since then, the one side are mocking his chairmanship of Ecowas as a failure due to the coup, while the other side want him to save face and get Niger back as the Jagaban and master strategist.
This is the sorry state of a divided country.

Quenncee:
You talk too much. Did you die during abacha regime. Infact compare abacha regime and this current administration which is better?

Oya run for your life

Rossikk:
Sometimes I wonder if the real reason the west are so desperate to see (their brand of) 'democracy' in Africa is that it actually weakens the African countries in several ways.

If Nigeria was under military rule, Boko Haram wouldn't have lasted 3 days i the country, and this these so-called bandits would be non-existent.

Abifarin16:
Nigerians need to do better towards each other.

Rossikk:
Use your damn head.

Are you aware that the people of Niger SUPPORT the coup?

Who the flying fck are you to tell THEM who should be their leader?

Or you think because they are 'poor', they are stupid?

GTFOH!

Wainey:
I noticed most of you have no interest in learning, you just type anything cos you have data and want people to hear you.

Rossikk:
The military regime of Gen. Murtala Ramat Muhammed is widely acknowledged to be the most honest and progressive administration in the history of Nigeria.

The Rawlings regime in Ghana was similar.

Africans agree that democracy is the ideal, but it is not sacrosanct in the event of serious deterioration.

It must be subject to overhaul by military interregnum of say no longer than 3 years for a reset.

That is the ultimate 'checks and balances' in any system.

Rossikk:
The mistake you people are making is mistaking institutions for people. Africans today don't care what shape or form or definition a good government comes in, whether military, civilian, or anything else.

All they want is good governance.

They've rejected the western idea that administrative form and structure supersede administrative substance.

The idea that a so-called democratic system must be allowed to continue for several years even when the people believe the administration is hopeless.

If they are hopeless they must go, and go now, not in 4 years time at a vote!

It is left for the ruling class to decide how they want to organise their political system to fit the new architecture defined by the people.

Abagworo:
Abacha and Babangida ruled Nigeria better than we presently are being ruled. Crime rate was much less and standard of living much higher.
