Why Military Coup Is Hard in Nigeria


I once asked a recently retired Major General in the Nigerian Army why coups no longer happen easily in Nigeria. He explained that things changed drastically after the attempted coup that nearly claimed the life of former military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida.


According to him, the military intelligence system was completely overhauled after that incident. It became so advanced, sophisticated, and deeply embedded across all security units that planning or executing a coup today is almost impossible without being detected early.


That’s why, since that time, Nigeria hasn’t witnessed a single successful coup.


@Ditari of Ijaw.

But, Abacha overthrew Shonekon after that!

Will you stop this nonsense? No matter how bad the APC and the present government are, ousting them through assassinations is a no no. This is heartless from you.

Any bloody coup carry out this period could signify the end of Nigeria. The coup plotters should be very careful and not start what they can't afford to finish.

Nigeria is no longer in early 90's, military government can't control Nigeria ever again.

So it's true that the northerners actually wanted to snatch power from tinubu through coup

Wow 😲😲😲😳😳😳

With all the things that tinubu did for them over his southern brothers dem still no send baba 😂😂

You mean appointment of only yoruba northerners from kogi and kwara state?

Mrchippychappy:
Plot twist, the whole thing na wash and was created to suppress the opposition and protests, now any call against bad governance would be seen as an insurrection and would be labelled treasonous. Just watch

If I were the president, I will be very careful at this time because this might not even be the end of this coup.

How can humans ever envisage of planning a coup against the demigod without him knowing before hand.

The problem with humans is that, they always fail to acknowledge the powers, reach dominance and political tentacles of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

It’s okay to be inspired by others that might have happened in Africa, but not okay when you fail to acknowledge the force you up against in your own case.

Oga He is no demigod. The military intelligence apparatus was fully overhauled after Okhar's coup and Abacha now scattered the main engine room of coups which is the armoured corps by splitting the HQs and making it impossible to consolidate and move on the seat of government.

Racoon:
Hehehe! See this one. The end of Nigeria has long started by Buhari, Tinubu and the APC. The division and anarchy you guys have instituted is legendary. It is just a matter of time.

Sorry loser, there won’t be a coup in Nigeria. We are standing on the democratic mandate of Tinubu till 2031 and there is nothing folks like you can do about it.

He said Babangida called Abacha to save him that it was Abacha that saved him from the shame and what later happened was agreement between him and Abacha.


Say Babangida was under one underground road at Dodan Barracks Lagos that the Military already took over and Abacha sent thousands of troops from outside to come in when he sent save our soul to Abacha


After the coup, Babangida immediately took FCT to North where he feels safer .
Tinubu can run it to Lagos where he feels safer too.



@Ditari of Ijaw.

I was expecting to read something more revealing and not some watery rubbish. Oga, shift jor!

Any coup at this point will be the end of Nigeria. We either practice democracy or we go our way. The era of illegitimate northern rule through military coup is over.

Again, President Tinubu needs to fast track the reform of the military. The military must be decentralized with military equipment equally shared to the six regions. The era of over concentration of military weapons in the north must come to an end immediately.

Where in your dreams did you think it would be the end of Nigeria? Bros wake up oooo if you try any nonsense that time they would waste you.

Lies from the pit of hell

I'm surprised you didn't mention Peter Obi in your comment because you can't go a day without mentioning his name .

While you and your likes are busy hating on the Igbos , the northeners are planning to snatch power from your brother tinubu. 😂

Let me tell you again, if the military take over through coup, Nigeria will continue because you tinubu people have destroyed the bridge of unity between the south east and south west just because you want to please the north. The same north that almost succeeded in snatching power from you. 😂

I know a certain region that would have celebrated with palm wine. Just like they did in 1966 before their slave masters descended on them like flies on heap of shjt

muyico:
We no want military coup, I withness IBB and abacha era, they shown Nigeria shege,

The shege we are seeing here makes IBB and Abacha times more of child's play.

This is fear talking in you. That's what I see.

It would have been sad for you. Because a civil war would have been ignited.

Trust me,you and your ibo people don't ever want that day to break! Oh boy,the implications of what you're wishing for are quite terrible for you and your people. I honestly hope you get my point.

Exactly my thought, military can't control Nigeria ever again. People are just too educated and sophisticated to allow military era to stand. That will surely accelerate a peaceful disintegration of Nigeria.

Where and how? Yorubas don't have the spine to start a civil war. So where will it start?

If Coup take place in Nigeria, nothing will happen to the Country. Most Nigerians will troop the street to celebrate the coup plotters. With what politicians are doing these days, some have been praying for the military to take over sef

My brother I am not supporting military regime, but know this if it ever happens, Nigerians will not bat an eyelid, in fact they will heave a sigh of relief. The only people who will cry are those benefitting from the rot happening in this civilian regime.

Be deceiving yourself.

Nigeria can't end because of coup that overthrown tinubu.

Secondly, yoruba that i know can't even dare fight Nigeria.

No matter how terrible this government might be, we won't trade our democracy for anything

They were still better than these guys using democracy to rape the nation. They were better in security and economics. No system is perfect but the current one is terrible
