Na lie. The coup was successful. Talon is gone for good. The zoo is next.

dss go pick you

It depends on whether the people welcome the coup or not. If a government is considerate of the people and their welfare, people would likely reject a coup otherwise they might welcome the coup.

The rising number of coups in West Africa may indicate that democracy is not working as it should and not serving the people.

seunmsg:
This is a good development. The coup must never be allowed to succeed. Enough of this nonsense in West Africa.

I pray civil government take control, this is the best government that have happened to Benin Republic

This thing is inching closer and closer!. If things do not change significantly, I predict that a military coup will be attempted and possibly succeed in Nigeria within the next two years.

Dey play....
That was what some people said 25 years ago.
Infact, when he was sick and rumours were flying left and right that he was dead, Biya said and I quote " I give a RDV of 20 years for those wishing me dead"
Biya will finish this 7 years, note this down.
His family members are known to live well beyond 100 years and if you add his trimestrial medical trips to Switzerland for exchange transfusion and organ transplant, then you should know that Biya will still win 2032 Presidential elections in Cameroon and live beyond that mandate.

nairalanda1:
In fairness, Biya is almost about joining his forefathers. Don't see him lasting the whole seven years

Those that staged the coup should be arrested and the maximum punishment of dead sentence should be there destiny. No mercy

Correct yourself.

Let's assume it was successful,will Nigeria go in to restore order?

The economy of Benin is stable, also the CFA, so I was kind of puzzled why the coup??

It would have been rejected by the majority.

SaintLucia:
This is a welcome development and a bad news for Zombidients.

Many of the OBIDIENTS had already started celebrating the coup in Benin while translating it to mean there will soon be a coup in Nigeria

The day world superpower (USA) will descend on all these putchist countries it will be like season film and a horrible time in Africa.
For now they're taking notes with their eyes in sky (ISS).

Coup isn't the way forward ..

In as much as we all want a better Africa,but even as little as some of us were during the Abacha regime,at least,I witnessed how jubilations filled up the entire country when the news of his Demise broke out.

Children of nowadays don't know they are advocating for, let them trying running there mouth about government and see what happens within 24hrs.
They do not know that free speech will be the casualty, then come the sanctions, I just dey laugh.

Ayatullah:
All West Africa Nations desirous of good governance with a human dace and dignity should pray for men like Murtala Ramat Muhammed and Jerry Rawlings to lead them.

Murtala Mohammed the whitewashed bank robber you mean?

ceejay80s:
All these coup in Africa, e don reach time death sentence should be given to coup plotters

Why? Do you like the way all these politicians are leading us

Having a stable economy is not an achievement. The value of the CFA is controlled by France is the same value in all Francophone countries. I am not saying that a coup is justified, it depends on the people of the country to decide whether they're happy about the coup or not.

How will you come out to announce coup that is not yet successful

My brother the present military men are more evil than the past, their eye too don open for money, they are not there for the good of the citizens?

Lanre1st:

I don't like the way our rulers are ruling us, but at least under democracy, I get chance to chase them out with my vote in 2027.

Even 2023, if not that atiku and obi were not united, apc and tinubu would have been kicked out.

I know, corruption, but army rule won't change anything. The same corruption under democracy always continues under army rule. To say nothing of lack of freedom of speech, and bad economic policies

I can remember when they were saying we had to remove Shagari in 1983 because corruption and bad economy. Not only did the economy get worse , but so did the corruption. By 1988 we were begining to cry for Democratic rule self.

Plus an army that is now spending time between leadership and fighting boko and bandits is a distracted army. The crisis may even get worse.

Lol

Economy of benin is not stable. Most of the people are poor. So poor that they preferred to buy smuggled Nigerian subsidied fuel instead of their own legally imported fuel because the price of the latter was too too expensive. Tinubu removing subsidy made life hard not just for Nigerians, but hard for our neighbors that were relying on subsidized cheap naija fuel

Even that cfa , back in 1985, one dollar was less than 2 naira. Under buhari. That was the era when inflation was high and people were queueing to buy things like milk, sugar and bread! Value of a currency does not mean everyone in the country is living well, otherwise there would have been no coup in Mali, Burkina and Niger which all use the same CFA franc.

If we want good life, make our economy become productive to the point that per Capita gdp is above $15000 per person. That's the real measure

SaintLucia:

Meanwhile, your government should sit up, because if it doesn't...know that I don't support coup but I can see why it is attractive to many.

I have lived in Benin rep and I must say that their standard of living is higher than us because the government is more caring.

Yes there is poverty there, but it's isn't like what we see here.

CFA is stronger than naira o.....

Where did you live in Benin? If you lived in the capital city, then you know nothing much

As for their CFA, France spends billions of euro backing that currency. That's why it looks strong.

Biya will not last the next 3 years.
