This is good news for Africa cos our democracy is not working at all since independence. Our politicians are just using the democracy to empower themselves & their families living the citizens to live in abject p0verty . I wish the white can come back to recolonize us because they still have conscience more than our black rulers who steal our money to go spend with their families in the same white man country . They go for medical treatment abroad ,their children school abroad ,their major investments is abroad while they allow the citizens to pay tax with nothing to show for it .

There is nothing good about colonialism to the natives ,, only the oppressor enjoys, if he white man comes and build everything you think you’ll have access to the best of the best? That’s when you’ll know the meaning of racism your own soil. Most Nigerians are ignorant and dumb, leads to comment like this
But you'll now be able to go to their country and settle without visa. Same thing with those fools fighting for independence of impoverished Puerto Rico from US. Because they failed Puerto Ricans are now automatically US citizens! What if they had succeeded in gaining that independence??! Not every independence is good

Hehehe.

Good one.

Watch as AU and ECOWAS rush to condemn the action. They sit down and watch corruption, nepotism and election rigging take over Africa and they do nothing,but once the people react they start to talk .

The west also watch as Africa leaders plunder the resources of Africa and they do nothing,but will be quick to react once the people want to take their destiny in their hands.

Mr Biden,the gay right activist is only concern about Africa only when is has to do with deviant's,I mean the LGBTQ people.
He comes up with his usual,I will stop aid's and bla bla bla once his project LGBTQ is threaten in Africa. But you will never see him talk about election rigging and corruption in Africa.

Africa will continue to experience such actions until they start doing the right thing.
You seem to think we’re doing America a favour?

If one is bad ruler,don't you think people will look for any slight chance to remove him
Take note of the word I quoted "pretext"

If you say that the bongo family ran Gabon like their personal property and the people were fed up with that, how then was that a "pretext" for the removal of Ali Bongo?

Kudos to the gabonese millitary and the entire population, if this was Nigeria by now, tribal colouration must have beclouded the citizens and by now, thousands of innocent people must have been killed on the streets of major cities. Quite me if you think am lying.
Re: Military seizes power in Gabon by Suntzung: 10:23am On Aug 30, 2023
It happens?
For centuries, France has been stealing Africa and killing the Africans. France is merely a vulgar barbaric gang of thieves and murderers masquerading as a country.
But enough is enough. The African countries are fed up. They no longer want their wealth to be stolen by France and their people being killed by France. They want all the French squatters (both armed and unarmed) out of not only Niger but of all Africa.

Very, good because democracy is west's idea of keeping us in perpetual slavery and control, it's time we find what works for us and stick with it.
Have you found what works for you before you switch?

Their technologies and products work for you because they are consumables, you can adapt to them. Latest IPhone upgrades, you adapt very fast. When it comes to the sustaining the ideologies that birthed a working environment for these consumables to be produced.., you shout its not for Africa.
So Cell phones, Facebook, blogging are for Africans but not the responsibility to keep a robust Democratic system, abi?

Anyway I've seen renowned fools here on Nairaland that beat your records to devastating degrees. Fools have grades. You're still playing catchup with mental disasters like HammerT, writerNG and the likes. More grease to your elbows.
Re: Military seizes power in Gabon by PecE2Make: 10:30am On Aug 30, 2023
Nigeria is next. Democracy is a disease and disaster.
Democracy in Africa especially Nigeria is the Government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.

The early we realise that Democracy is a dececit the better for us.

God abeg, punish wicked rulers here in Nigeria.

What is really happening?

No be play something again o
That is what you see when illegality is allowed celebrated and enthroned to rule over a people that does not want you to lead them but out of great efforts of bribery corruption and all manner of vices you forced yourself on a nation. supposedly africa’s big brother hence the reason for all these recent military junta in Africa it simply means that other African nations does not value or respect the person sitting as president in the “big brother country”.

Even though Naija deh mess up big time yet all these other African countries look up to Naija but now that Naija has fall hands by installing Tinubu as president the center will never hood in Africa and even Nigeria until the right thing is done.

The funny thing with you guys is: If a Fulani soilder orchestrates the coup you so want in Nigeria, majority of Obi supporters longing for coup today would reject him. So you see?

Lol!

I’m gonna wait to confirm that this is not fake news.

But in the meantime, if it’s true, then congratulations to Tinubu, ECOWAS and their brainless warmongers. They now have more countries to invade.

After invading Niger, they will invade Gabon. Or are they going to invade Niger without invading Gabon? They have to mad not to.

I’m so happy right now, if this news is true. Because I’m sure ECOWAS was already waiting to congratulate President Bongo for winning Third Time in a “free and fair” election even though the report of the Gabonese Electoral Umpire shutting down their Electronic Infrastructure, like INEC did, and even removing names of opponents from ballot papers has been everywhere.

Another reason I like this is that the PEPT will see what is happening in other countries because of disputed election. People are waiting on them to do justice, failure of which no one knows what the outcome will be.

Democracy is fast becoming unpopular in Africa and it’s because of poor Electoral management. The situation where votes no longer reflect the wishes of the majority of the voters, their will be disenchantment with the people seeking alternative way out.

If a coup happens in Nigeria today, Nigerians will celebrate it because we didn’t vote for the idiot in power.

If the PEPT likes, let it insult Nigerians like INEC did, let’s see what the outcome will be.
Is Gabon in West Africa? What is the business of ECOWAS with a non West Africa country?

For your mind, you have criticized when what you need is a proper education yourself.

Tinubu should just resign now to save his aged life. It's getting closer than he thinks.
