Fulani man lost power but refused to hand over
Don’t forget this man was very close to Buhari

Nigerians should watch out for a similar script in 2027: Nigerian politicians learn nothing good from the outside world. It is only the bad we learn. If not, tell me why Nigerians should be running to South Africa in 2025. APC go. Another party may do better.

Truth be told, Africa (blacks) is not really ready for democracy

Africans are very innovative when it comes to self-interest.

Apparently this is what he has done. What a show or conspiracy. Another disgrace to Africa.

It does not deny that African elites may engage in wrongdoing...On the contrary, it asks us to acknowledge – and contextualise – instances of mal-governance in terms of how external donors and companies often enable (and encourage) such actions to preserve lucrative economic arrangements.

Nkrumah’s key text – Neo-colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism – was published in 1965... Less than a year after it was released, President Nkrumah was overthrown in a military coup abetted by Washington.

For example, my book details the marriage of corporate interest and donor aid in the case of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition (NAFSN). Ostensibly aiming to end hunger in recipient nations such as Ghana and Malawi, the NAFSN has been seen to facilitate ‘land-grabbing’ amid creation of ‘agricultural corridors’. Namely, subsistence farmers appear to be dispossessed in favour of the agribusiness needs of corporate NAFSN partners (including in export crop sectors such as palm oil). The New Alliance is backed by donors including UK DFID and USAID – whose aid lubricates African governments’ acquiescence to land ‘releases’. Donor support toward NAFSN agribusiness interests is publicly legitimised in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).This is just but one example

My book – like Nkrumah’s – will likely raise objections from the donor community and from those academics who constitute their clientele.

This is the abuse of power and ridicule of democracy with have generally in Africa.

A questionable and hollow democracy..

Ikaeniyan0:
If the people of Guinea Bissau do not reject the madness, very little can be done. AU and ECOWAS should sanction Guinea Bissau and all the actors participating in this shenanigans.

This is what some so called "lovers of democracy" wanted in Nigeria because their candidate lost a free and fair election in 2023.

The difference between their election and that of Nigeria is that Nigeria election was decided with GLITCHES 🤣🤣🤣 and they want the whole world to accept that.

The simple question Tinubu and his supporters refuse to answer is that, if the GLITCHES election was not in their favour, would they have accepted that?

I just understand that all the people supporting Tinubu are all hypocrite and how it happened is what I still don't understand.

😈😈

na for bad things we dey get innovation. Of them win you, freaking leave. Baba forge coup🤣

When some people reference Africa as a jungle, people start criticising them. But it is what it is.

Wetin happen for Guinea-Bissau na real correct correct subversion of democracy, na like soft coup wey the sitting president himself arrange. Instead of to conceed power give the legit government wey people elect, because him don lose election or him term don finish, him refuse to gree step aside. Him just go dey manipulate the whole system by colluding with him friends for military, and under the guise of say him dey bring "stability," him just hand over control give them. Na deep plan to bypass we the people, so dat him and him circle of friends fit still dey control things for behind, shield themselves from all the corruption and human rights abuse wey dem do, and continue to dey chop the country money. By dismantling democratic institutions and bringing soldier influence, this move no only betray the citizens vote but just dey make sure say all the wrong wey dem do to pipo go remain like dat, no go ever come out or anyone go answer for am. Na pure injustice, no be better politics.

This kain dangerous playbook wey dem use undermine their vote resemble the one wey President Bola Tinubu use for Rivers State for Nigeria. Even though na full soldier handover no happen, the way dem use power shake table, unsettle the governor wey people legally elect, create the same kain vacuum wey dey ripe for undemocratic control. The imposition of "state of emergency" something wey dem suppose use only for real security wahala just become one kain trick to remove elected person and put one person wey go just dey answer dem. E dey nullify the vote wey all of us cast. The biggest hypocrisy be say, this same "emergency" power, dem no fit declare am for the states wey the real security wahala dey, because dem no be dem political opponents. Na so so shame.

Shame to dem! We go concentrate for our own Nigeria matter dey go.

Shebi Peter Obi’s supporters too have been calling for coup since they lost the last election. Even Buhari that list thrice due to rigging didn’t call for coup despite having his boys in the military

The problem with democracy in Africa is that the unpopular people are unwilling to accept that they are not the people's choice so they will scatter it for everyone if they don't have their way. Aren't they threatening us already in Lagos that it's APC or we harm you? Aren't they popular as they claim? Why are they afraid of elections? Because the truth is bitter.

Look at what happened in Rivers state.

Look at how someone said we should GRAB IT, SNATCH IT AND RUNAWAY WITH IT.

Democracy is the voice of the people but the voice of the Satan is what these people want, not the voice of God.
Politicians are also evil because even the military also need their help, the only difference is that military no de forgive. They want you to follow their own rules. Apes obey!!

I guess you are IGBo and in your desperate attempt to force a Narrative you used the word " unpopular people"

who as become Nig. president that is not popular ... is It OBJ, Yaradua, Buhari or Tinubu

i skipped Jonathan purposely, becos thats the one president that fit into " unpopular" compared to other names

Heffalump:
Read the last paragraph very well. The coup was staged by the opposition instead, perhaps because they lost the election.

Oga read well, u are the one that is out of point. Before trying to correct someone, make sure u are very sure of what are saying before saying it out.

Whatever understanding we've gathered from the first paragraph of the write up has been distorted by the last paragraph. What do you understand by opposition in a political setting? Opposition is the party that's not yet in power, but struggling to take power.

The last paragraph, according to the analysis of the election observers ( GEJ and Ousmane Sonko) that the coup has been described as being staged by the opposition party. Oya, explain to me what this statement meant.

Who told you that the opposition cannot work with members of the incumbent government? Is there any law forbidding that? We were not there, just that we are all analyzing the information coming from the horse's mouth. The English is straightforward.

Na wa o, you are even still arguing instead of going back to the write up and read it carefully for proper understanding.
E be plenty things for this life o.

I approve this coup because it's most likely to be in the best interest of the country because I can see AU and ECOWAS are opposing.
Because AU are colonizer's puppets, any coup they oppose must be good for the country and Africa.
So we as Africans should support the new military regime Guinea Bissau.

If you like guess I am Tiv, I don't engage in such low intellectual discrimination and discussions. It's on record that Mr Tinubu is the most unpopular president to win the elections going by the INEC result. You can argue with facts or statistics.

As uninspiring as he was, Muhammadu Buhari won a second term in Nigeria's Presidency with 56% of the popular vote in the presidential election. Keep on talking tribes and petty politics. "Na statistics we go chop?"

Saturnalia:
Trump will not talk now oooo, since there’s no crude oil to steal over there. So much for the World Police aka United Snakes of Amerika.

I hope Tinubu too is learning one or two things from the wisdom of Guinea Bissau ?

Let those Traitors with Born-To-Rule mentality from the North continue to undermine your Government with their Terror & Banditry sponsorship.

And let those self-marginalized & No-Joy Tribe from the Land of the Depleted Sun also continue to de-market Nigeria and celebrating chaos & anarchy all over Nigeria.

When it is time for the 2027 Elections, just hand over Power to one brutal & merciless Major General from Ijebu-Ode or Iragbiji and that will be the end of the cinema called Nigeria - which is what everybody secretly wants in the first place.

They can only shout and tag Trump, CNN, BBC & Amnesty on Twitter.

And if Trump wants to do busy body, just invite my very good friend from Russia (Vladimir Putin) to come build Naval and Air Force Bases in Lagos and Abuja. All of them will automatically back off!

Let China and Russia talk nau.

Buhari that spoke about dogs and baboons soaking in blood and actually carried it out?! Don't you remember the eliti corper who was butchered that fayemi actually cried when he saw the corpse!?


As you said with your own mouth,the likes of Buhari shall never depart from your generation and since you love him so much,say amen...

What in my statement is wrong? In democracy, if Candidate A beats Candidate B by 1 vote, A is the popular vote. The margin and percentage are statistics but democracy is described as the government of the people, by the people and that's why the majority carries the day. That's why there is also a run-off in our elections.

In the New York Mayoral vote, Cuomo is/was more popular than any other candidate but did he win? No. Even Trump's threat and support did not garner him enough votes. The young man, Mamdani won and everyone accepted it. The test of popularity was at the polls and today, he has finally met Trump despite all their tantrums. Trump did not go and cancel the election or cry rigging. Our own politicians don't like to lose. That's their problem with the electoral votes.

You talked about Jonathan. Don't forget that before the results were announced, we had a saga at the collation center where some people did not want to accept the results but what did the President at the time do? He called to accept defeat even before final collation.

Election is not do or die like Obasanjo foisted on us and gracefully, Yar Adua the beneficiary accepted even though he benefited from the rigging. It's his (Yar Adua) reforms we are enjoying today.

That phrase is wrong, by definition of unpopular ... Most of the people at the elms of affair have being around power for over 20yrs therefore they are " popular"

infact if you are said " old people" dont want to leave e for correct ... Atiku and Tinubu are popular do they want to give way for fresh people i.e the unpopular, the answer is No

I dont think election is test of Popularity Becos at the end of the day " acceptances is what count., Buhari vs Atiku both are equally popular but acceptance is what makes one a winner .. sey you grab

like i said my issh with you is choice of wrong, " unpopular" ... i share same mindset with you on other things you wrote
