How is it our business if they remove him, was he and his goons not the only ones enjoying the office and whatever it can provide, there is this adage chop alone die alone, there was nothing for the masses in this government except hardship and frustration, we are less concerned about whatever happened to the useless, insensitive, greedy ,wicked regime
Hope U are aware of what's happening in Argentina now??

Thank God for Tinubu bold reforms

Really? Really!!! Very Reallyhuh You must be joking. The very day anybody plan or want to participated in coup from that day he or she should just write his or her Will down because if failed game over nothing like I'm sorry in failed coup.

I'm sure you are trying to play smart because you heard an ex governor from South is involve and you know if its either is obi, or Aregbe or Dickson or Amaechi for sure because these people went too far in the desperate quest for power so don't be scare by the time the dawn come that ex overnor is a goner.

We warned them never to think "coup" because if it failed no mercy.

Thanks...

Anything to make bobo Chicago unsettle and sh*t into his pant is welcome. At least, that will cloud his mind for vulnerability and his impending loss in 2027.

It is well.....
I know it is not easy to endure the present pain
Are you saying that the civilians sponsoring the coup are hungry or they merely want to hijack power through the back door? The Government security agencies are too slow. Since Obedients were clamouring for coup last year, the Government should have clamped down on them both online and offline. I knew some politicians would like to take advantage of the inexperienced obedient yoot and their quest for regime change at all cost. Now the DSS should do the needful and protect Nigeria. Maybe it's time the SW people commence their disengagement from this shit called a nation because it's now obvious that anytime the North is out of power they must try to hijack through coups. I don't know how obidients think that a military Government formed by fulanis will ever favor them. It's obvious that banditry and terrorism will explode 100 times because of the backing of their people in Government. I don't know why people would wish the worst for themselves because of their hatred for Tinubu.

When your APC intend to have parallel government or gave coup threat during GEJ tenure back then, did you also lost your voice then?
Re: Alleged Coup Plot: Ex-governor Under Watch by Mtmike(m): 6:41am On Oct 20, 2025
Those wishing for coup are children who hasnt witness one before and dont read to know their history. thinking that the country will be better under military is thinking a fish will do well on land. imagine how freedom of speech will be, if its like this under civilian rule. at least you know your representatives and you can challenge them when there are issues, in military rule no one gives a dam about you. someone from sokoto can be sent to rule your state and you can either corporate with him or get kicked out without explanation and if you are unfortunate you can get kicked out of life with any repercussion. for those saying there will be security go and read your history very well, with all the brutality of the military rule of buhari in 1983-1985, babangida brutality from 1985-1993 abacha from 1993 to 1998 and obasanjo who was a military turn civilian ruled from 1999 - 2007, all their rule combine could not calm niger delta militancy it took yar adua and jonathan less than 2years to stop it or at least reduce it to bearest minimum. with the kind of oppressor spirit wey dey africa, military rule will only take us back

1.This is getting more and more interesting. Now Daily Trust, which is a respectable newspaper, is reporting there was or may have been, or allegedly, a coup in the works.

2.Former Southern governor....involved. Looks like 1982 is back...

3.And then, DT says officers haven't been named, when allegedly, the names are out there

4.Still, I won't wish a coup on nigeria...if we want change, either we get a united opposition effort to win in 2027, or a revoultion led from the ground up by the people, with a refusal to allow it to be hijacked by the elites or the army. Simple and short.
But in the same daily trust it said the DHQ debunked the rumours of coup allegation.

So Omoyele Sowore called for #FreeNnamdiKanu protest for October 20th.

October 20th marked the #EndSARS anniversary.

Suddenly, there are claims of religious genocide after one of the former presidential candidates visited a foreign country.

During the #EndHunger protests, Russian flags were flown as some called for regime change and installation of a loser of the 2023 elections. Those flags disappeared after the service chiefs issued threats to anyone flying flags and calling for regime change.

IBB fast-tracked the relocation of the capital from Lagos to Abuja after the Orkar coup. Tinubu cancelled independence day parade and was in Lagos during independence.

Since Tinubu won presidency, he has been under threat from certain quarters. I think the man should be allowed to govern. There was no coup threat during Buhari's tenure. Someone went to Chicago to ensure he wasn't sworn in by fabricating tales of non-attendance of a university in Chicago. Many who cannot manage their political parties have accused him of one-party dictatorship. There seems like a huge network of disgruntled politicians willing to fund unrest for change.

They forget one thing.

Abiola assumed Abacha would take over government and hand over to him. Any politician who thinks he'd fund a military coup and benefit from it exhibits the reason he failed as a politician: lack of political intelligence.

We should also decide the type of government we want and stick with it. Anyone planning an illegal change of government should face trial and receive the ultimate price for treason. Politicians and political soldiers must not ruin this country because they lost elections.

Sometimes, calculated unrest are formented by some to justify regime change. We must resist illegal attempt on government. Anyone who cannot contest fairly and squarely should not be involved in politics.

We reject the dark days of the military where freedom was never guaranteed.

PS: The former governor in the south linked to oil and gas, could it be a former governor who also served as state petroleum minister?
The government in power should as well conduct free and fair election and not victimize electorates or bribe eye-neck officials for undue favour. No one trust APC. You guys are just saying what comes to your mind because of what you people are benefiting. APC and bobo Chicago are anything call evil coterie

Pls no need telling them dem forget say Tinubu na Yoruba man let them try it then they will understand silent does not mean foolishness.

Bro I'm not from SW but I was prodly born in SW and I will forever love them. If with all damages Buhari did to Nigeria, obi and Atiku were nowhere to be found for 8 years of agony and Buhari rule for 8 unopposed years I swear to God Tinubu must spend 8 years in power who ever planed coup will be arrest and gone too soon no mercy for coup plotters.

Tinubu till 2031 nothing will change it.

"Plan coup and gone too soon that is it"

So, you want to jump into the fire of army rule then?

Don't do politics of bitterness. Remember, if tinubu supporters had been successful in their coup aspirations in 2014, their man won't have been president, and we would have had another Abacha in charge.

Guess you prefer being run by maximum autocrats.

As for me, despite the fact that I regard both APC and PDP as the same and am angry with the way our democracy is being run, just as I did in 2014, I do today. No to coup. Let everyone mock me.

P.S Oga, it is also strange that the army you blast for being ineffective against boko and for dealing with innocent people are the same people you trust to run a good government. LOL.

Join a party and work for change from within. A coup will just make matters worse, and may backfire on you and most nigerians.
Military coup is what Nigeria needs or let me say Africa continent. Democracy is alien to us. It’s an ideology sold by the West to puppets in Africa to keep our people in bondage. Why do you think most of the Western governments are always in anger when there is a military coup in Africa? It’s all about their interest. Anything to piss off the colonial masters is welcome by me. Military coup like I said, is what we need at the moment.

1. By August 2022, debt was eating 90% of our revenue....and a large part of that was subsidy. Plus, the PIA signed in 2021, promised that subsidy would be gone by June 2023 at the latest. Guess you guys were not paying attention

Keep subsidy, and our debt would be high.

2.As for tax...our budget was planned based on the fact that oil would remain at least at 75 dollars per barrel...and even at that GOVT had to borrow 13 trillion naira. OIl has been below 70 dollars since last week of January. Also, oil has been consistently below our fiscal breakeven price, and we are relying on 1.8million bpd...which is enough for a nation of 2 million at best...not 230 million.

And IMF is basically hinting they won't borrow us more money unless...

So, taxes. Yes, tinubu government is bad, but if atiku or obi won, based on the above facts, would you let them borrow more money, or raise money from taxation?

This is not about politics, it is about realism, and the fact that we have been pretending we are as rich as Saudi when we ain't for decades. Years of pretence have caught up with us.
What you said is what you re fed by IMF (IMF is another neocolonial organization that put measures to keep 3rd world countries poorer and improvised) no country has survived economically by following dictates of IMF and other donor agencies. These agencies' grants and financial helps are always Greek gifts

So my dear, Nigeria taking these IMF measures without putting our own initiatives made the whole things messy
Look at hyperinflation rate from 8% to 38% within a year (for example N200/L was a pump price for fuel went up to N1,000 which represents 500% while minimum wage slightly jumped from 30k to 70k which represents 230%

Even same IMF that should be more concerned to welfarist policies was advising govt to remove or increase electricity bill, remove all sorts of subsidies given to Nigerians. All these advice by IMF are aimed to benefit them by making nigeria govt to refund IMF borrowings

In my sec sch days, we re taught that primary duties off any government of a country is to maintain law and order; maintain economic well-being of it's citizens and to provide public goods/services

Let me ask what is "public goods/services" Nigerians enjoy without paying full cost - none. The only and last one we did was fuel. Now it is no more

All these are factors that may necessitated these alleged coup plotters to do the needful. When IBB introduced SAP, it was like this BAT policy - subsidy removal then. Nigerian cried untill needful was done. Abacha presidency was best period in nigeria economically and welfarist. Economy was stable, nigerians were wealthy and par Capita income increase. Why can't VAT do this. Abacha didn't remove fuel subsidy despite the fact that IBB regime carried alot of rots

So you want an army that you people.have called boko Haram infiltrated, Fulani run, in league with Fulani herdsmen, persecutors of igbos, beating up innocent people , good for nothing, bad at fighting bandits, bad at dealing with kidnappers, filled with tinubu yes me , etc etc...to be your saviours?
