Is what we have now a democracy?
Elections are blatantly rigged..
State and National Assemblies pass anything that the governors and the president send to them..
President who is a participant in the contest, gets to appoint the electoral umpire..
Judges are blatantly bribed..
Parties in power openly destroy opposition parties ..
No accountability..
Sectionalism and ethnic manipulations..

These are the symbols of your vintage democracy!?
So you want military rule where there no checks and balances. I don't think you have experienced military rule before.

I will never support any coup in Nigeria

On what planet is a coup an overt attempt to overthrow a government? So, the coup plotters will announce on TV that they're planning a coup? Lolz. Few things are as covert as planning a coup.

There are over 50 different military groups trying to overthrow President Tinubu.
These aren't hidden facts, even none military people have discovered this.




He must be very vigilant.
Fix in trusted people to surround him and be very careful.


My late father that died last month say a bad civilian rule is better than good military rule because apart from no freedom of speech, a Yoruba man will be placed to govern Ijaw land and this Governor may not truly understand the deep pain of the people he governs.
So it is fully wrong.


We all saw how Calabar man ruled Rivers State.
His pocket was what he cared for.


@Ditari of Ijaw.
the current governors are from the state. Do they care about the pain of the people they govern? People that are embezzling money, buy SUV for traditional rullers and associates, owing salaries and building mediocre projects. Abeg rest

Your Obas were/are the biggest "dictators" of all time! Imagine this one!? Your Obas are the legislators, the executives, the judiciary, the gods, the customs and even the diviners, all rolled into one! That's the template in all your traditional environment even as we speak, and you know what? Serfs like you fight hard everyday to defend these traditional dictatorships. We saw your folks bowing to the posters of the new King in Ibadan the other day.

So what the fukc are you yapping about?

If you are willingly bowing to fellow men as you rulers, what right do you have to accuse someone who was raised to not do so as craving for dictatorship? You hated Abacha. I don't hate him. Deal with that. We have different political goals in the country as your man Tinubu has proven with his sectional leadership style. So your political favourites may not be my political favourites. Simple as that. But don't try to use "democracy" as a convenient tool to defend your uncles barefaced dictatorial regime!

Thank you!!!
Its called absolute monarchial rule and it was what existed even across Europe that saw to the Renaissance era of great human development.
The Holy Roman Empire that was headquartered in Bavaria was the height of monarchies and it gave the world the greatest scientific and artistic breakthroughs.

The arts and architecture of that era are still standing today and considered as tourist traps.

Back home we had the Bini Empire whose capital Benin was adjudged by Portogesse explorers to be the best planned city state with a highly complex and civilized order that saw to zero crime and high prosperity rates among its people.

Its a system of governance that you will never be able to replicate .

How sad.

I am sure I experienced more military rule in this country more than you.
And I can assure you that what we have now is worse than some "military rules"..
Abacha was not this ethnically vindictive. He was from Kano. He never destroyed Yoruba businesses in Kano because someone said that Sabon Garri is a "No Mans Land"..

You wake up one morning, and you take the police and the military to help you bulldoze other peoples buildings and property, simply because they are of a different ethnic stock. Then you turn around and try to use a laughable Pro democracy argument to maintain peace!

How clever of you!?

"Worst democracy is better than the best military rule" is a sterile rant!
How can you say that Bola Tinubu or Muhammadu Buhari were/is better than Jerry Rawlings, Thomas Sankara or Muamar Gaddafi?

Any coup now will see Nigeria disintegrate faster than a lightning bolt.

Nigeria of today is not Nigeria of Pre 1999.

The civilian political class in every state is well entrenched .

The populace is more restive and aware of their rights and won't give it away for an illegitimate military junta that did not give their consent to.

There must be consent by the populace to the government of the day to govern them.

And how is the military going to manage running a country like Nigeria today without widespread consent?

You must understand that past military juntas relied on consent to remain in power and always justified seizing power from fellow military juntas on the basis of lack of popularity of the ousted regime among the people.

There's no way we can have anything dictatorship today because that will require tearing up the constitution and drawing up Admiralty laws that are alien to civilian life.

Any coup will not only be disastrous to Nigeria's continued existence but to those who ochestrted it.

The guys in the military today are a total different breed from the cocaine sniffing rambo types of times gone.

The officers today just want to serve and cashout bigly and retire to politics or their businesses.

Why should they risk all that for a doomed coup that if successful will doom them?
Please sorry to ask , who or what will disintegrate Nigeria, I am asking because as a history student and someone familiar with coups in Africa there is virtually no disintegration threat

Is it that the yorubas will pick up arms and fight for independence.

Or you mean yorubas will pick up arms and fight to reverse the coup .

Or that external parties will fight on the behalf of yorubas.

You don't know these people.

They know that our current democratic system can never get them to Aso Rock.

They have been demanding for a coup since a Yoruba man won the elections and in their usual bitter envious mode ,want to truncate the system .


They will prefer military rule than have a Yoruba who was elected above their last hope remain President.

A Yoruba man beating their own in a national electoral contest only reinforces to them that Yorubas are more accepted across Nigeria than them.

They are angry because the last election showed them that they are still on probation from the madness of Jan 15 and the civil war they caused due to their greed and covetousness .

Yoruba hatred in them is not because they hate Yorubas per se even though they do, it's a fallout of being reminded that Nigerians still don't trust them to head the presidency.

I can tell you that the only reason Nigeria is still in existence is because the Yoruba are still keyed into it.

The day they lose interest that is the day they leave and no one can stop them.

You should recall how swiftly the government acted on Igboho when he came out with his Oduduwa nation movement.

Contrast that with you Biafra groups whom govt was slow to act upon because the govt knew it was all a fake movement. Govt only acted on your ipob when they began being a nuisance and threat to public order.

Sowore is just churning out back to back to back fake news. If he got one information, he will add ten of his own to it to embellish it.
This same fake news said Tinubu was planning to extend Yakubu Mahmood's tenure as INEC Chairman but fear of protests and criticism made him drop the idea grin

Back in 1965, our then intelligence services knew that there was a coup, and warned the leadership then, but nothing was done, and we know the result.

A lot of Nigerians also forget that in 1982, several people, both army and civillian were arrested for a planned coup. NSO basically infiltrated them and found them out before they could procced.

Even now, we have organisations like the DMI and the DSS that can probably sniff out plans for a coup

Having said that, most nigerians probably would be happy with a coup. But the thing is, from past experience, millitary rule always turns out to be a dissapointment.

There is difference between a failed coup and coup planning.
Mooting the idea by discussing it with the second person is already seen as planning, how serious it is depends on the stage of discussion.
The public can only be affected when it has been attempted, not when the perpetrators are still planning
