We don't need coup d'etats.They are never the best way forward.All though in some cases like sit-tight dictators like Cameroon for example,a take over is necessary.

This shows who really own the country. It's not the president that's elected.

But the army.

The president is merely a face.

He's in power because the army allows him to rule. If a few high ranking army officers are not happy, the president can go at any time.

Now who are your top ranking officers in Nigerian army? How do you expect the president to fight their brothers the terrorists? undecided
High rank officers don't plan Coup, it's the junior officers. The Senior officers enjoy the privileges the government gives them. The Senior officers could codedely fund the coup.

This is a welcome development and a bad news for Zombidients.
Is yoir conscience pricking you, because no obidients said anything on this coup. This is how you people just incite people with careless backhanded comments.
Re: Benin Republic: President Talon Safe, coup Reportedly Foiled - Govt sources by Mamaafrik1(m): 12:22pm On Dec 07, 2025
I prefer a military head control by the natives foresight and a democratically in elected president that is a puppet of the West

You guys don't know what coup involves. You probably dont know Gideon orkar and Mamman vatsa. If that coup fails, those soldiers are goners

Lack of democratic governance and practices among many African president and leaders leading to all this coup within some Africa countries....so African president and leaders practice democracy and good governance and all these issues of coup will stop

The Elite guard of the Benin republic army are currently protecting Talon and fighting to protect the regime.
By evening we will know if the coup was successful or not.
Fingers crossed!

Copied.
The soldiers are incompetent to not have arrested the president. Now they would spill blood and damage infrastructure.

Normally, death is the reward for failed coup.
Real one, not the 14 soldiers joke that they claimed in Nigeria.

What did you do to politicians in your country who think the only way they can fight ruling party is by sponsoring insecurity and sacrificing the military in other to discredit the ruling party, shame on you all.

I pray Nigerian politicians are learning something if not e no go funny.

The Coup cannot be successful if the Elite Guard is currently protecting the President as at 12 p.m. Many factors would play out here. Nigeria and Ghana are major countries in the sub region. 14 years of 7 years per tenure of a President may be too long and unacceptable to the dissidents but military option may be unacceptable to the some Benin Republic elite groups.

If after hours of Coup announcement on TV, the President is still being protected by an Elite Guard which would give opportunity for Nigeria and Ghana to intervene, then the Coup cannot be successful
