You are either too young or just suffering from recency bias. Nigeria had 30 years of military rule and there was no single good man among them. No major infrastructure was started and completed by them. The third mainland was started by shagari and he would completed it if he was allowed to finish his term not overthrown.

The khaki boys started all the problems nigeria has now from abolishing federalism to instituting corruption and massive looting, filling the civil service with a section of the country.

Babangida and Abacha regime were the worst. They brought all kinds of vices to the society; civil service corruption, Pervasive armed robbery, looting billions of dollars into swizz bank accounts, year long ASUU strikes, zero press freedom they close down any media that write opposing article; tell magazine etc, kaduna riots of 80s and 90s killing many christians, killed the education and universities. Lecturers were poorly paid until obj increased their salary. Doctors became poor with terrible pay even japa was almost impossible in the 90s.

So tell me what good thing about the military?

They don't, they think it's all fun and games, till X closed, Facebook closed, no freedom of speech. In military regime no laws or constitution, a bunch of rabid heads just control the nation how they feel and like, with their own rules. Genz say they want freedom but calling for enslavement. They need common sense.

Jakarta:
As bad as democracy is, military should never be an option. The issue with democracy be say na mugus dey always get voice pass, because they are always the majority.

Emeskhalifa:
Abeg enough of all this fear you people are inciting. What could be worse than what Nigerians are currently going through? No one anywhere is praying for Military takeover but the rot of the politicians with reckless abandon is going unchecked, while the masses are always at the receiving end, reason why you see people calling for military takeover

Even Abacha's regime was not as terrible as it is now so make we hear word abeg

Gen Z has never really experienced the full benefits of good democracy. If the government wants young people to stop hailing or clamouring for the military, then it must prove through its actions that democracy can actually work, deliver results, and improve their lives.”[b][/b]

Military coup is a reset and a permanent solution, military is neccessary when democratically elected leaders become tyrants, or when the process that brought in the leaders a defective. If elected leaders are of the masses , the they should atleast be scared of the military if the are not scared of the military then you have for yourself gods inform of polictical leader creating chaos to consolidate power. Some of you forgot some of the sins of abiola which OBJ tried to correct when he got into office, and let me remind you that some of those sins has been commited . He was aware of his reason he things he could avert military coup and yes the military should always ask for the right thing to be done when the judicary is compromised knowing that they can be sentimental and act in their own interest instead of national interest

I've experienced both and I can categorically say that Democracy in Nigeria is worse. The third mainland bridge we have today is made by the military. If a good military head wants to make roads, bridges or any infrastructure at all, just know that it will be done 100% well, but let a democratic president of Nigerian try it, that structure will even collapse before he finishes his tenure.
All we can ask for is a good Military man who really have the country at heart, then watch how all policies will be effectively implemented and everything done in orderliness.

All these democratic presidents are just wasting our time.

Jakarta:
Before I say anything did you witness Abacha's military regime? Do you know what Abacha stove is? I don't blame our democratically elected/selected leaders, rather the blame should be on us. We have the voice, the power but sentiments will not allow us use them. Imagine what corruption will look like in a military setting. No matter how authoritative or tyrannic a democratic leader is, it can never get worst like a military one.

Imagine Wike as a military man in a military government, good morning sir, fit lead to 20 strokes and frog jump combine. Bro forget military is not an option, using our collective voices, and power irrespective of our tribal, religious, and political affiliations is the only way. Military is far worst.

A security consultant, Kabiru Adamu, has warned that many young Nigerians expressing support for recent coups in Africa do not understand the realities of military rule.

Adamu gave the warning on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.

According to him, Nigerians under 30 had not experienced a military dictatorship and may have a wrong impression about the wave of coups across the continent.

“For anyone below 30 years old, they may not have experienced that.

“There’s nothing at the moment telling me that the Gen Z in Nigeria understands the consequences of a military dictatorship, because I see them supporting the dictatorship that is taking place in Burkina Faso, in Mali. They see those military juntas as heroes,” he said.

The security expert said the agitation partly stemmed from narratives amplified on social media, which governments must monitor more deliberately.

Adamu noted that governments worldwide, including Nigeria, should be concerned about the conversations shaping public sentiment.

He said disinformation campaigns were glorifying coup leaders online, creating a dangerous influence among young Nigerians.

“The other consequence not always spoken about is what happens on social media. All of a sudden, you see disinformation and misinformation portraying these military leaders as superheroes.

“They then gain followership within countries where democracy still thrives, unfortunately, including Nigeria. So yes, it is disturbing,” Adamu added.

The problem in Nigeria is the amount is stealing going in in civilian administration is so shameful and the military administrations in Nigeria created so much

The states where created by the military
Third mainland bridge
Abuja the new capital
The conference center Abuja which Wike refurbished and named after Tinubu was built by Babangida
We didn’t have long lasting insecurity like this


The bottom line is insecurity
Without security it’s difficult to pursue development
So the bedrock most be fixed if not people will keep supporting the military

He failed to put the fundamental thing thats causing rhis influence. A generation that saw their economy been destroyed before their own eyes. A generation that saw unprecedented inflation rocking standard of living and their education no longer guaranteed. A generation where their voices cannot be heard and election rigging out of their own will. A generation that saw old men ruining their future and destinies in perpetual poverty. A generation that crossed the jungles, desert and Mediterranean sea on foot to Europe in 21st century. A generation that saw the corrupted elite misappropriating funds. Running expensive government. Mind you all the infrastructure still standing today where bult be the military. Federal road, stadium,hospitals, although they failed in rainway but watching Nigeria videos in the 70s to 90s you will see that Nigeria was more better. Street more cleaner, hospitals more clean and orderly.Schools more clean and maintain. Everything destroyed in the last 30 years or so.
