No one should derail democracy, no one is perfect . Coups are old school except you want the country to go up in flames .

Nigeria is not other countries. There would have been Civil War!!

At this point, it will be the end of Nigeria. It will be to your tent oh Israel.

Nigerians are not ipob or you from the East. We know how much we fought for this democracy n not ready to lose it to your senseless hate.

We know how it cost MKO Abiola while you hero was taking up appointment from Abacha who killed them. History will never forget n we also will not.

And if you are picked now,what would be your reason - as a Coup Supporters Club ,
or an Opposition in disguise 🥸,abi?
Some comments are pure grievance and unnecessary!

Don't forget that Past GOVTS - include Former Military 🪖- Babangida,Abacha,Buhari, Obasanjo,etc- they were all there( there ) in the Military then,
•BUT, IF THEY HAVE DONE WELL, WOULD NOT NIGERIA-HAVE Moved FORWARD ⏩?
WE ALL KNOW THEIR ROLES,BUT FOR ANY ONE TO SAY HE/ SHE -WILL BE HAPPY - NA DEVILISH ACT BE THAT.
THE DEMOCRATIC GOVT-WE ENJOY TODAY( Free Speech,Association,etc,
-SOME PAY FOR IT WITH THEIR LIVES- e.g. MKO Abiola and many Other Nigerians!

Bad civilian rule is better than a military rule..
The people that took away history from the school curriculum really did us bad.
One of the reasons Nigeria is struggling today is because of Nigeria history of military regimes.
When countries of the world were progressing we were doing coups from 1966 to 1999. Corruption and 419 are some of the benefits of the military,
During military regimes the administrator of each state will be posted from Abuja.
The government in charge of Anambra may be a Yoruba or hausa man.
All his friends will be in charge along with their wives and girlfriends.
The only thing the citizens can do is grumble in their houses make any funny comment they will carry you and feed their lions in secret dens.
Indomine generation should rather request for accountability from the government.

WebKraft:
LOL... That's a very poor way to reason. You assume the military too won't be corrupt but theirs has always been worse, besides, those ones can decide to start picking anyone who says anything against them online and offline, freedom of speech, gone!

We've had coups happen in Nigeria before, in fact in the 70s and 80s it was the order of the day, so it's something that has been done and never yielded any result. The solution is for us to make sure we hold whoever is elected accountable. If they don't want to hear word, use social media, protest, votes and your voice to fight for yourself.

You people should stop saying this because it's irritating. How do you hold a Nigerian politician accountable? In serious societies, strong institutions are built to engender checks and balances, thereby holding office holders accountable.

In Nigeria, politicians have made sure the institutions remain weak and keep running political parties without ideology. That's why politicians keep changing parties like their boxers.

Since Tinubu came in, there's no positive reform that he can be remembered for. All APC does is have a bunch of online warriors defending everything their politicians do and gaslighting Nigerians. Try to hold a Nigerian politician accountable and see how 20.10.20 will happen to 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.

Rest! Nobody can end one Nigeria until all the ethnic nationalities agree it's time to end it. Tinubu is destroying this country and laptop boyz are all over the place gaslighting Nigerians.

There's no single positive reform this government will be remembered for. As bad as Buhari was, he kept the fuel subsidy because he knew the impact it would have on ordinary people. Buhari kept saying that he didn't want Nigerians to suffer. That was a man with empathy.

Tinubu removed the subsidy, he's giving all the subsidy money to fellow politicians in the state and getting them to join his party. This government has no human face and you expect everyone to be happy with them because some selfish politicians are decamping to APC!

This is why you cant blame any president putting his allies in strategic position. Imagine if the head if the army was Ibo, they would successful plot the coup

Govt hand go touch you.
You don't wish bad for ya country.

ObasaHF:
Democracy all the way!
No to military governance.
It's not only shameful but rather unbelievable that some disgruntled elements would destroy our gains on democracy.

What did we gain in all the accumulated years of military rule?

Nothing but one man show of draconian laws.
No matter the situation, we stand %100 with the leadership of Asiwaju, if anyone care's to challenge this, kindly use the ballot boxes not the barrels.

While I cannot endorse military rule whatsoever, let me be clear that the best infrastructure we had in this country was built by the military....from 3MB to the refineries. These politicians haven't been able to achieve anything significant for the country. They are just there to suppress and oppress.

seunmsg:
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.

Well said

Beremx:
God please may it come to pass in Jesus name amen. Nigerians are going through hell in Tinubu's administration

Fidel, abeg be careful of the things you post. This is treason and DMI is picking people up already. Before you prove your innocence, you go don see shege.
Don't use your head to carry load that is not your own. Stay safe.

You get sense.

Just imagine from 1966 to 1999 we only got the 3MB .when even in Lagos alone we got both blue and red line rail in 6 years.

I'm talking about 4 major refineries that generated billions of dollars for the country, created massive jobs and increased Nigeria's GDP. The same refineries that politicians couldn't maintain or build new ones.

Did I fail to mention that the military built several seaports that we enjoy today? These politicians couldn't even build Ibom seaport. Everything na politics.

FYI, soldiers built railway across the country, connecting key cities and rural areas. These politicians couldn't maintain them. Perhaps you don't know what's happening around you.

For you lots, Nigeria starts and ends in Lagos. The same railway project they have borrowed your futures to build.

PS: I can never support military rule, but these politicians in power are a bunch of failures!

tables has turned. As far as I’m concerned. It’s fight between SW and the northern. When you guys were in honeymoon after marriage, nobody invited us.
We don’t care how it unfolds and anything that will take Tinubu out of power is welcomed. First time in history a president wants to form monarchy with his family

tpain121:
You were always criticizing Buhari and writing epistles and projections about Fulani herdsmen.

I am surprised you are supporting tulumbu eventhough he has performed worse than Buhari in all indices .

I don’t see those your posts again, eventhough terrorists are now operating in kwara state.

I never knew you were a tribal lord.

Nna mhen !

He is a yoruba man...what do you expect from them

Melagros:
COMRADES, if that succeeds, then Nigeria will become conducive (a better place) for many/millions Nigerians

Under a military regime àbi?

By the time the military finish with you, na pipo like Dino Melaye una go dey beg to save una.

Be careful what you wish for.

Sheuns:
The one that took Abacha is what? Coupon?

That was more a palace coup than a real coup.

if it happens what will you do? Take up arms against the military? Funny. Anyway I don't think a military govt can move this country forward but this is a wake up call for the politicians, you cannot keep acting with impunity like the current president and his people are doing and not expect any reaction.

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.




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.

You're obviously a small boy

mastermaestro:
Stop this ascription of overestimated political intelligence. Be thankful that it didn't happen. I am glad it didn't anyway. Military rule is a lawless system where a few individuals become the law and the supposed order.

Only those who probably were unborn or too young to understandably witness military administrations will think the uniform guys are better. If they took power, we won't be on this forum expressing divergent political opinions without fear of disappearing mysteriously.

No matter what, I will always pray against a military rule. Na small children dey think say military dictatorship na fun. Make una ask una papa how far that year. Many didn't know how incapacitated President Buhari felt as a civilian leader. Dude wished it was 1984 when he could act unilaterally, arbitrarily and ruthlessly. That's why he struggled to govern as a civilian leader. He saw being a civilian president as bound in shackles. Thus he grew aloof and let things run anyhow.

Military dictatorship doesn't belong in this age.

even as a military leader Buhari was reputed to be hands off, his 2ic( second in command) was said to be running things.

seunmsg:
Go and plan the coup, overthrow him and let’s see.

oga stop all these online rants, nothing will happen, a few peep wasted here and there as examples and the rest of your Yoruba leaders will flee abroad to go and be forming useless coalitions and speaking grammar. I don't pray for a coup, but know this if it ever happens(God forbid) nothing will happen.

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

according to one sycophant up there he is a demigod ie. Not vulnerable to physical attacks and could easily see things happen before they do. I sha know that this isn't the end of this. If I were Tinubu I'll have a sober reflection and tey to amend my ways. Do what is right by the citizens of Nigeria. He knows exactly what to do.

yemmit90:
No, the situation is different now, the contemporary world is now all about alignment. The only reason military coup was popular then is because of foreign interest or influence.

Once there is no real interest/influence from a powerful blocs, the other sections of the country that have competitive advantages will be listen to by international community.

what about the numerous coups that have happened in Africa recently?

the events that happend during the end sarz protest, is it lost on you? Did they try to hold the government accountable? How did it end? Una go just dey spill nonsense in thr name of sounding politically correct. It can't get worse than this.
