By this coup I think the government has come to the sad reality that they don't even have the full support of the so called North. Alot of political realignment will commence hence forth the governors don't seem to have the grassroot support. I expect the president to begin to make more deals across the north. If south easterners led the coup it would have fit the narrative that they are just disgruntled but look at the spread of northerners involved. The the funny one was the involvement of Timpriye Sylvia. A Bayelsa man. I can't wait for the full story of this coup Something is really off. |

Yorubas are afraid to call it Hausafulanis coup. |

So are we agreeing this is a Hausa/Fulani coup?? WizardOfNG: |

New007:No it can't, Nigerias democratic framework is so strong and complex to allow such. Moreover it would have been a foolish thing to do. The country might plunge into chaos and potentially civil war. We have not even talked about the economic implications because there'd would sanctions from the UN and major world powers. |

The government have given Nigerians are reply, whether they chose to believe it or not, isn't the government's business. Bottom line, believe what you want to believe. What I do believe is this, the security agencies will start raiding and detaining many politicians within the nearest future. |

Brenbentondiaz:Yorubas were pissed it led to a coup, how is that any new considering we are already talking about a coup Continue deceiving yourself, even party memwbers and supporters are saying in secret'we've never had it this bad' He who the gods want to kill,they first make mad |

Tinibu is just scared of the consequences of calling it a coup he won't have wasted a second calling it a coup if the coup plotters were to be from the south east. |

Kperogi is no doubt a very fine writer. Insightful and brilliantly crafted. |

Mrexcell:There are actually more at stake that your narrow ethnic aggradanizement. A coup signify instability which in turn drive investments away and make it difficult for the country to move forward. It is not always about you. Kperogi put it succinctly, a coup against Tinubu will start something far bigger than June 12 1993. With the Ipobs waiting for any opportunity to jump the ship, it is not too far fetched to say the plotters will have no country to govern. |

One thing I don't understand in people's comments that " FG should tell the truth about the coup" is if Tinubu come on Media and said there was coup attempt what will this people do?. In my own opinion, the way they handle it silently is the best. Just to avoid panic in general /public domine |

Just imagine if it were during Buhari’s tenure and the Southwest planned a coup , what do you think would have happened? Or imagine if it were the Southeast that planned a coup under Tinubu’s government; the backlash would have been massive. But now that it’s the North allegedly planning a coup under a Southwest-led government, everyone seems quiet , no backlash, no outrage. It only goes to show that the North appears to hold a kind of dominance in Nigeria’s political structure, almost like new colonial masters. |

Racoon:The alleged coup if it had happened nothing would have happened except that to run as would be left alone to live with their atrocities that bothers betrayal. Jonathan was a southern president who was yet to complete two terms in office. It was yorubas who arranged with he North to oust him. Igbos and other nationalities in the major South were with Good luck except the the Yoruba western South. They conived with the North and removed him. Tinubu is a abysmally poor leader. He is meant to have been sacked through impeachment. Even though I don't support coup of any form but if it had happened tinubu would have been removed and yorubas would only shout and be tamed. |

ElSudani:Tinibu's govt is only deceiving itself their moves and actions they have taken so far clearly shows there was actually a coup attempt and that they are lieing like little kids. |

Mrexcell:A country with diverse groups and interests is not governed exactly like your village clan. If you think you know half of what is going on in the government of any country not just Nigeria then I have a bridge to sell for you on river Niger. Not every information is meant for public consumption. |

I laughed! You guys can not amusing me. Criminal personified like Tinubu and your oba are they examples of leadershipment for societal political considerations? In normal situation Tinubu should not be allowed to be a class governor not to talk of President of a country. Tinubu leading this country only show the èxent of moral bankrupt we have in this country. WizardOfNG: |

Dalohad:Nwosu, there’s nothing like APC or PDP. We know fully well Nigerian politics is ethnoreligious in nature . Stop running around . Unfortunately for you cowards, Tinubu is not someone to mess with because he’s bigger than all of you . It’s either you allow him complete his tenure and wait to remove him at the ballot or be ready to have your asses kicked out of the nooks and crannies of Oodua land . The choice is yours ! |

Good2go1:That is your own headache . Tinubu can even be the devil himself but this is democracy. Wait and remove him at the ballot . Your coup is dead on arrival . Tinubu should use this as an alibi to unbundle the Nigerian military . Go after the supporters of APC . This is a golden opportunity and he must not misuse it |

OgbeniOja1:Trying hard to make it look like there was a coup. Which coup? Where and when was it executed? Or is it the same rumour of alleged plan for coup that we all know? Which one come be Hausa/Fulani coup again. Or is just a wishful thinking? |

If the names of the alleged coup plotters has happened to be led or contain any south east or Igbo man names n the target to kill was to include Yoruba names like Tinubu, Wales Edun, Onanuga, imagine wetin for happen By now Yoruba people for don begin attack Igbos for Lagos n other south west states.

KingAzubuike:Can you or anybody else explain to me how and why the country would have plunged into a Civil War because of a Coup by mainly Northern soldiers against a barely legitimate Yoruba sleezeball of a president with ZERO national acceptability or popularity. Who and who would be angry enough with such a development to trigger/participate in a so-called civil war? Which masses or which 'rebels' or which troops will be for or against the other in such a war? I agree I am 'ignorant', but at least I am willing to learn. Make una explain to me like a 5 year old. |
