The Military Regime Was Far More Better Than Democracy by Chicagograduate(m): 2:42am On Oct 30, 2023 |
During the military government there was nothing like importation of petroleum products.Our local refineries were working fine. Everything was cheap and affordable under the military until Abacha who was the military head of state died and Abdulsalam Abubakar who was his second in command took over and released Obasanjo who had been marked for execution for plotting a coup. Tinubu who was a senator when shonekan was an interim civilian government went on exile when Abacha overthrew shonekan and he became an activist under NADECO and was using NADECO to criticise the then military regime of Abacha while on exile. Abdulsalam Abubakar later released Obasanjo from prison and the north compensated the south with a presidential slot which Obasanjo became the president. Obasanjo and his vice atiku sold all the government properties to their friends and that was where the proplems of Nigeria started. Our refineries became Moribund and fuel was imported.A lot of money running into billions of dollars was budgeted for maintenance of our refineries but the money ended up in private pockets and nobody was prosecuted. This made Obasanjo to be increasing the price of fuel in the name of subsidy removal. He sold all government properties to his political associates. Inflation increased, incessant strike from NLC under Oshiomhole each time Obasanjo removed fuel subsidy because the removal would create inflation. Under ex president Jonathan government, petroleum marketers received billions from fuel subsidy in other to reduced the price of fuel but the oil marketers didn't import and supply the products after receiving payment.Committees were setup and some marketers were indicted, including Mike otedola's oil company.Up till now,no one is sent to jail or money recovered. Many Nigerians don't know that Tinubu had a romance with the military dictatorship before he was forced out on exile.He had a romance with Abacha and benefitted from his government but because he was forced out of government he became an activist. The problems Nigerians are facing is caused by democratic government who are the politicians that is why they keep saying that "The worst democracy is far more better than the military head of state.They have corruptly enriched themselves and want to continue to do so. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Democracy is not for every nation. Some nations need a no-nonsense authoritarian visionary to set things right. Where you have corruption rampant including judiciary and INEC, as is the case with Naija, democracy doesn't work! China and Russia no dey do democracy, and Putin's corruption is legendary, but Nigerians would happily japa those places if they could! 7 Likes |

Abacha’s son imported adulterated fuel that destroyed many lives and property. I also remember Abacha stove with sawdust when millions of Nigerians could no longer afford kerosene. May we never experience such again in Nigeria. Therefore the OP should grow up. 6 Likes |

opamoses1: No need to reply children of 2000s who know next to nothing than what dubious politicians feed them. Some of them don't even know there was a time fuel scarcity and black market will linger for months withiout anyone doing anything about it. Did they even know how often universities were once been shut down for frivolous reasons. At least we are criticising and cursing the government in democracy, do they know you can't do the same publicly during military era withiout getting killed or stylishly jail. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Chicagograduate: You see a lot of kids born in 1998 telling us that lived through draconian military rule that military rule is better. A time when many Nigerians were cooking with sawdust because kerosene was too expensive. A time when many Nigerians camped for several days outside the American Embassy just to get a visa appointment. A time when University professors were associated with rickety cars because their salary was under ₦10,000. A time when soldiers forced Nigerians to do frog-jump because they crossed the road when overhead bridge was present. A time when "trying to travel abroad" was regarded as an occupation on It's own. A time when suspected criminals were executed without due process. A time when newspaper houses could not report freely. A time when a military officer could pull out his service pistol and shoot a bloody civilian and nothing would happen. I remember when I was warning unwise Nigerians not to ousted Jonathan because he was not as bad as being portrayed by the corrupt press. It is still the same ignorant people like this OP that shouted at me and said "anything was better that Jonathan". They bragged that if APC did not perform, they too would be voted out. Now the same clowns are saying military government would be better than APC. Now let me tell you this for free, Tinubu is 10 times better than best military officer in Nigeria. Nigerians would fast and pray for Tinubu"s return if they taste the brutality and corruption of the Nigerian military. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Herdsmen: I have tasted military regime under IBB and Abacha. Those were bad authoritarian regimes. If there can be a good authoritarian regime, It will be way better than this crap of a democratic government. By the way, isn't the Nigerian so-called democracy autocratic by the people in power? Let Tinubu keep fooling himself that nothing can upturn his mandate. When the rage of the people starts, Nothing can stop it. It is either he flees or gets consumed with it. 15 Likes 1 Share |
