A SUPREMELY dumb thing to say.

As horrible as democracy has been in Africa. It's a GAZILLION times better than Military Rule.

In Democracy, Politicians embezzle money and misbehave. The masses protest. And politicians pretend they'll do better.

In Military Rule, Soldiers embezzle and misbehave. Anyone who protests will be MURDERED. And the Military will tell you they are Saints.

The scope of embezzlement perpetrated by Abacha will RUPTURE your mind.

The scope of PURE evil and brutality perpetrated by Idi Amin makes the Devil look like a cute puppy.

This is NOT a secondary school debate.

Only a person with MENTAL IMPAIRMENT will argue for Military Rule in Africa.

It's just dumb!
Your opinion still, and not a concrete evidence (fact)

During Abacha regime

* electricity was stable.
cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Electricity was kini? We was generating under 1,200 MW , and most parts of the country had no light. NEPA was taking light back then. I was old enough to remember...lol.

* naira was very strong.
Very strong for where. Naira at parallel market went up from N25 In 1993 to N89 In 1999.

Plus naira was N6 In 1989, and N1 In 1978.

Even then, life was hard. N1000 was a hell of a lot of money, and most people were struggling in those days.


* Health care was better
Who sai? Health care was not better. Doctors were going on strike. No be the same Abacha regime where someone I knew...their child died of common menningitis, because the antibiotics available were fake? Ya think say Akunyili just woke up and pretended there was fake drugs?

Health care where you had to buy your medication when in hospital?

* Education was good.
Education was good? Oga , you were not born during that time. Education wey get palaver for years?


* The masses could feed well.
OK.o. People were struggling to survive. Masses could not feed well anything. grin

* There was no terrorism.


*security was strong.
Yes, no boko. But there was armed robbery, tribal warfare, state terror, and at one point we nearly went to war with cameroon .....
Etc


Pls compare with what we have now
Things are worse, but it was not nice under Abacha. I lived under his rule. I knows.

It is time our Democracy be what it's supposed to be....this pseudo democracy is bull shitz
The courts are corrupt, banks, ministries, bandits and terrorist everywhere, police complicit.....even the Armed forces bribed to hold back while the citizens wallow in poverty and u say one is better than the other..?
Call it what you want, can't be in hell and say you're somewhere far from heaven
You are still not getting it. Being a democratic country we the masses have the power to turn this around. Our leaders are behaving how they like because we the masses contributed in giving them the enabling environment.

Imagine if an Igbo, or a minority tribe in the south-south was currently the president of this country. Given the way things are protest would have rocked every nook and cranny of this country by now. But the reverse is the case due to religious sentiments, and tribal bigotry.

I remember vividly when GEJ removed the subsidy, I believe you still remember what happened then. People stood up and said NO we won't take it. (DEMOCRACY) The president was forced to reverse his decision because they stood up. Now ask yourself where are those people today? If they STAND up and say no we won't take it again, will they be shot by the firing squad? Since we have DEMOCRACY the answer is NO. Democracy has given us the power to act, the onus is on us to use it. Military rule will never give us such power.

And after 5 years, another 10 years extension for twenty-first century development. angry

Small time now, dem go use thirty years for rule.
Exactly. And the guy is still young, so there is high possibility he is going to be president for at least 30 years.

Will you shut up! Go and read about the achievements of this young Coup leader. I know you are benefiting from the incompetence of Tinubu and Co but you must know the truth.

A military regime in Nigeria is one Gazillion times better than these criminals currently in charge of our affairs! Tufiakwa!

How old are you ? Stop believing that gibberish that they normally say that the worst democracy is better than the best military rule. I asked your age not for insult but to know if you really experienced military rule in maturity. One Chieftain of APC just came out to say otherwise concerning our so called democracy for the past 25yrs

You think so? Ever heard of Thomas Sankara? I don't know how old you are but the Buhari-Idiagbon regime was doing well until Babangida struck. I witnessed riots or demonstrations during the Babangida era which were not as bloody as Endsars. Let me accept that we are yet to discover the democracy that works for us because what we have now isn't ideal as it favours only the politicians who are robbing us blind.

Again, the kind of orientation we need can only be implemented by the military. Nigerians love chaos and disorderliness. Only the military can reset our brains. It's not about Obi or Atiku or Tinumbu. We need discipline at every level progress as a country.

There's no freedom of speech anywhere, whether military or democratic. The only difference is the types of punishment you receive if you speak grossly out of turn.

MY friend, if ENDSARS happened under army rule, there would be BODIES. As in, dead bodies all over, plus mass information blackout. About a 100 fatalites in this time, would reach 500 under army rule.

I'm ded.

The only time when times were good was in the 1973-82 period...and it left us with a hefty debt and an economic crisis we haven't recovered from, because we spent, spent, spent, and spent.

Food was cheap back then because it was subsidised...until 1984, when the Buhari government was forced to remove subsides because oil income had been crashing for 2 years and counting by then. Prices went up.

Omo, NIgeria has never had good leaders, millitary or civilian , because of the resource curse. Even now.
Which do you think the people tolerated better: Buhari's military or democratic rule?

Read your write up again, so the difference is the freedom to protest, right ?

Im not sure you know the meaning of MENTAL IMPARMENT.

Was END SARS massacre not in a democracy ?

I don't care if its a democracy or Military rule if be have a benevolent leader.

I thought you were an intelligent guy. Obidients are the lowest in intelligence. Imagine what they would be toying with if Obi had won. Now I know that Obidients don't have any sense in them and cannot be trusted with power until 2039 as Daniel Bwala said. Maybe by then they would have a fraction of a dog's intelligence.
First, God forbid that I'd be mistaken for an obidient.
Second, my opinions are not for the masses. Most of my thoughts and comments are for those who think deep enough to understand it. I doubt if you belong to that category so your comment is understandable.
