If there was a coup plan, I am sure it would come from the born to rule people of the desert. They cannot stay away from government for 10 minutes without crying.
Check yourself and what you have said very well please. Except you are a teenager, those people you are referring to has stayed out of power during OBJ, GEJ consecutively totally in disagreement to unwritten agreement of north/south rotational presidency and no coup happened.
One zone out of six zones cannot hold everyone by jugular and you think nothing will happen. Buhari's nepotism was three over six but this one over six of this government need to be studied in the university.
Anyway military government is never an option but equity, justice and fairness guarantee stability, peace and progress for growth and development.

It's not just about a military take over, but more about who becomes the head of state and CIC.

I still want to kick IBB in the nuts for not fixing Nigeria ala Singapore when he had the golden opportunity to do so.

The Senate and House of Reps is a colossal waste of resources within the Nigerian context.


Anyway, the truth about the coup plot will emerge sooner or later. Tinubu is not naieve. He knows what to do.

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.
keep lying to yourself yorubas dont have balls. the current situation of the fulanis attacking your obas and even ravaging your lands is enough reason to speak for division. but una no get balls

It is quite obvious that the proponents of that Coup will be Core Northerners.

They are always apprehensive and uncomfortable whenever someone outside the North is President for more than 4 years as if Nigeria isn't for us all.

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?

Old man who doesn't know China is not an absolute dictatorship. Better relocate to your darling Burkina Faso or South Sudan and enjoy your dictatorship.
So because Nigerians are japaaing, I should do too so that you and your gods in Nigeria can continue destroying it but get defensive when those who can stop una nonsense is mentioned?
Re: Defence Intelligence Detains Brig Gen Over Alleged Coup Plot To Overthrow Tinubu by b5ive(m): 4:12pm On Oct 18, 2025
I'm not surprised to hear this, coup since time immemorial as been contagious. If a coup is successful in a neighbouring nation/state, there is a high chance of it happening on ur soil.

Putting other African nations with such antecedents into scope, I don't think coup is far from Nigeria.

Time shall tell....

Coup or military is not an option in Nigeria. As much as the election that produce this government was not fair it is still far better than a despot like Abacha coming to set aside the constitution and rule by decree.
I don't know why some section of this country any time they are not in power....... Is Tinubu regime not better than Buhari's? Why no coup? No matter how much we criticize Tinubu, Military despot usually by the Northerners is a haram

nairalanda1:
I know most Nigerians want a coup. Things are hard.

But a coup would not change anything. No matter what we want.

For starters, oil money is still a large chunk of our budget and oil prices are low. So any army government coming in is still going to face issues with low government revenue. And the resultant poverty. So expecting change is not going to make things better

Second, military rule is harsh. It's because army rule ended before the internet blossomed here that most of you don't know the harsh censorship of speech and freedoms that army rule involves. Like now, buhari shut Twitter down. Army rule would go further than that. They can shut this site down and arrest the owner and you can do nothing.

And you think army rule would be nice to people like mmk? Or even your local dissident? Maybe they would be even harsher on boko and militants, but they go be harsh on your secessionist leaders and so forth. Nothing like Biafra or death under army rule

I guarantee that you will cry for democracy within 5 years

Note that it does not mean that tinubu is good o. But army rule will make him look good.

Remember we went through this many times.

If you want better leadership, make we all join or form a party and work for change from within. Army would do a bad job of changing this country
Boss I like the way you reason. You're one of the few nairalanders that's not biased & emotional. Your analysis is always on point.

One bottle of Heineken for you.

Are you sure military rule is not in support of a military rule. The north which comprises the majority population are highly appreciative of military regime and they glorify it so much. I live in the north, they argue about their different political parties but once it's military rule Matter they are united.

Hence it's not as non consensual as you think.

I don't in any way support military regime, but that is the reality:if a coup suddenly takes place in elections time, both Apc and pdp supporters of the north will celebrate

Pre-1999, Nigerians were on the streets for months against brutal military dictators and not leaders who will start explaining their position because of a twitter post.

I have some few questions to this your reply;
*Did you attend primary school? What is the definition of military coup?
* Why is this Tinubu/Obi thing taking away some of you people's brain to think like normal human beings?
* I dislike people who bring tribal sentiments into every topic here on Nairaland. Do I need to ask about your tribe? I know, no need.
* I wanted to ask if you experienced the era of military regime, but no need again. You're one Gen-Z with data who makes silly arguments because democracy (though filled with corruption, because we all are corrupt) gave you the previlage of acquiring a browsing phone at your age. Ask your elders if it was common for an AVERAGE civilian to build a house or own a car before the military we experienced BEFORE 1999.

Bullshit.

I am sure they were arrested over arms diversion or deliberately refusing to follow orders in the ongoing war on terrorists and bandits and providing cover or refusing to mobilize

No officer is daft enough to stage a coup in present day Nigeria as that will surely see to the country balkanizing.
You are right brother.. The fastest way to divide Nigeria is for some daft officers to stage a coup.. No matter how noble their intentions might be, the region that was sacked would feel shortchanged and start clamouring for a break of the country.

Also the region that takes over would be accused of trying to seize power through the back door..

Hausa/Fulani political elites would rather prefer Tinubu goes for a 3rd term to an Igbo army officer seizing power.

Head or tail, Nigeria wasn't meant to be a single country because development can never happen in any atmosphere of severe disunity.
