As long as his people is fine with his leadership, it's ok
Nigeria is a good case study here. We’ve practiced democracy for years, but many citizens still struggle with poor governance, .....

Excuse me, but first we are struggling to practise democracy and go and democratically vote, which is the root of our problem!

25% of registered Nigerians bothered to get off their asses and vote in the last election, and less than 10 million elected Tinubu.

I like this guy o, but this one no enter. Are you stylishly want to stay on forever in power.

He maybe right tho. Democracy is shit in Africa. The electoral process is a legalize fraud. A good example is Nigeria. and how do you even do election in a poverty shrinking state where vote can easily be bought. we all know any hungry man is not better than a mad man. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT VOTING IN THEIR RIGHT FRAME OF MIND. THEY ARE EITHER VOTING BECAUSE OF 10K PROMISED TO THEM IF THEY VOTE A PARTICULAR PERSON, OR VOTING INFLUENCED BY TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS SENTIMENT. MOST NIGERIANS ARE DISENFRACHIZED. PROPLE CAN EASILY BE BOUGHT, INEC AND JUDICIARY HAS ALREADY BEEN BOUGHT. THIS ELECTION IS JUST A WASTE OF TIME. HENCE I SUPPORT THAT DEMOCRACY IS NOT FOR AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democracy is abused in Africa. The system of governments that will thrive in Africa is monarchical and autocratic system.

Authority is not always the truth, but the truth is authority on its own.

No serious nation borrows a system of leadership from their oppressors. The serious awareness that must be debated amongst African youth is weather we want this democracy or not.

Democracy is extension of divide and rule of colonial master

CJStarz:
So long as citizens are happy and comfortable with his regime, no problem, afterall a good junta is better than a wicked administration

You are still a child. Citizen do happy at bargaining, dictator will start kill them when they are not happy again.

This was how Paul Biya, Museveni, Arap Moi and a lot others started. He should know he is not the most powerful man in Burkina Faso.

Americans introduced "Democracy" in Lybia and look at the state of Lybia today. Under Khadafi there was no democracy and the country was working. Free electricity, Free hospital treatments, Free education. There was no beggars, no homeless people. No external debt because Lybia was not borrowing. So called democracy destroyed everything in Lybia. In reality it's DEMON-CRACY

Is tumbulu better than this man, is the economy of the green white green country better than this man's own. I want to know so I can know which country is better

agreed Tinubu is a terrible president but at least he only has 8 years. This man will not leave in 50 years

sirray001:
The most important thing is having a good leader at the helm of affairs making sure that the citizens are ok. Providing electricity, water, good health system, jobs and what have you and not a bunch of criminals we have in Nigeria parading themselves as politicians and wasting our commonwealth to organise a sham election at every four years without anything to show for it. In Nigeria, democracy is not the government of the people, for the people and by the people. It is a government of the criminals

Relocate the Burkina Faso and enjoy military rule there nah

Btruth:
I would say yes, if the junta boys keep improving the country economically. Truly, democracy is not working in West Africa. It only enrich the politicians and their corrupt cronies.

chai. Africans no fit get sense. So it is dictators that don't enrich themselves? After they leave, they will now put their children in power.

38yrs, Lolz! This one don envision himself staying there till 40yrs time when he will be 78. Hahahaha, time dey him side die.
Except na fellow military man like am go remove am soon

Obidients best friend. What a shame

They always form emergency lovers for bad people. So, I'm not surprised. This is the same thing they want for Nigeria. They will never succeed.

We told the emergency traore lovers but most of them were not born during Africa military era.

Democracy is Africa's opium

Afriifa:
That's how they start and suddenly 50 years after they are still there.

He's right. Democracy can only thrive where there's law and order. We're not practising Democracy in Nigeria. Imagine the military in power. Both the terrorists and their spinsors would have long forgotten they once lived today, including their founder who's a key politician in the apc government

Democracy is not working in Nigeria. Democracy has been taken over by thieves who wear Agbada and suit. We don't have Democracy in this country, is a shame.

HelinuesAbigFoo:
Tulumbu supporters will flood the thread to com as usual…. Yet Tulumbu their messiah and lord killed democracy in Nigeria…. At least Traore was honest to say that his country is not going with democracy…. Master of sophisticated region is the biggest fraudster in history

If they ask you how.... you won't be able to explain.
Keep following the usual narrative of the noisemakers and unintelligent people.

Hopefully not another African dictator in the making.

Parachoko:

if I had an opportunity, I will relocate. It is better off in Burkina Faso than self acclaimed giant of Africa without light, water, good security, good health system, jobs etc

What is the benefit of democracy if not the capitalists to cheat the poor of of community resources

The Nurturing of Absolutism

When this guy seized power through a putsch some 3 years ago, people were in a frenzy and the excitement reached the heavens. Then, I saw no romanticism about it-- still don't.

My argument was that he should hand over power within the 3-year time frame, then in company of his other military liberators, watch from the sidelines if Burkina Faso degenerated into chaos again. Then, they could swing in again and clean up the purported mess.

No one human can be absolutely trusted with power. I warned my colleagues he would turn to a tyrant. And it's happening now. Global instances of military interventions teach us that military banditry is no solution for political mismanagement.

Nigeria's history alone offers ample experience that military rule and intervention are disastrous.
He will, like, other unconscionably-driven despots in Africa, plunge Burkina Faso deeper into a socio-economic and political quagmire, where counter coups might be a merry-go-round.

I love the fact he's against democracy and honestly if you deepthink it, democracy and her institutions has always been a decoy by the Western powers to dissuade Africans away from good governance masked in "freedom". What freedom do we have when all our institutions are corrupt but we claim we are a democratic country. From recent metrics and index, Burkina Faso is making good progress as a country, if it happens Traore becomes corrupt himself then they should boot him out, Good leadership is all that matters and all that matters is what the people can feel

Totally agree with traore here 100%
Looking forward to Burkina's own unique leadership system.

In Burkina Fasso there are Stiff Penalties for Corruption: Revised legislation has increased penalties for corruption, including life imprisonment for embezzlement or corruption. President Ibrahim Traoré has issued warnings to all government officials, declaring a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, including the misuse of public funds, promising immediate life imprisonment for offenders.
