Go and read a freaking book and learn about the damage,destruction and chaos the military caused in west africa including Nigeria for almost four decades.

P.S. I wonder who is paying all these social media influencers especially the Nigerian ones who are everywhere praising this Traore fellow for building ordinary roads and grinding tomatoes

List the damages caused by past military governments and we'll list greater damages caused by civilian governments. No government system is perfect but some are worse than others.Africa is too corrupt and undeveloped to be practicing democracy.. A people that are yet to jettison tribal sentiments have no business with democracy as demographics will always decide elections and not merit

They are also changing their curriculum, replacing some of the colonial terms.


Who is bringing that news to Nairaland?

Racoon:
And what diffenence have the current crop of democratic and tyrannical despots made in African? Paul Biya, Paul Kigame, Tinubu, etc?

This freedom of speech you are abusing now can't happen in the military era. They will kick your a***sh and you may even disappear if you call military ruler some senseless names you called PBAT

yomisams:
Well it all depends, I don't think military rule is a good thing. cos not all military rule are nice and you can't predict the outcome, most times.

The same with civilian rule.

No difference.

Individuals intent is what different them

Burkina Faso is just using content creator to make things up. Look at the Road but they will tell us the place look like Dubai. I remember some of them going to the country and asking to see most of the stuff on social media..they did not take them.Who is fooling who? Some of the videos on Youtube are AI-generated by their Russian Friends. No one can critic the Government. Go on Youtube, watch with open minds and if you think it is better, move there LOL

yomisams:
I visited Burkina Faso and the transformation happening right in the city of Ouagadougou is truly thrilling. the country is building a system that cater for the transport system of its citizens. Big massive Bus terminals and busses are being put in place to help achieve this. I explore on of the sotraco bus terminal here in ouagadougou in this video.

You never see something like this in Lagos? Since Fashola era. Try to appreciate your own country. Why will you compare Nigeria with Burkina faso for God's sake

You want to tell me Abacha's rule was damaging and destructive?

May we never have an Abacha in our lives again. Terrible times indeed!

A lot of you still have a lot to unlearn and relearn.

Seems this guy's regime is paying them after all.

QuinQQ:
So you see, military rule is not always terrible

No country that profess "democracy " was founded/grounded in True democracy

QuinQQ:

The best years in Nigeria both economically and otherwise were during Military regimes.

Recall, no country in the world today that profess democracy, were founded under true democracy and operate under true democracy

QuinQQ:

It is not really about military or civilian. It is about the persons in power themselves.
Imagine a BAT being the military head Burkinafaso, what would you expect?

Leave them!! Me wey if i hear the name "NADECO" i go still just look over my shoulder.The psychological terror under Abacha no be here.Abacha wey rob Naija blind na im these youngins' dey praise online nowadays.Abeg,make i go sleep jare

We are quick to celebrate and appreciate other countries achievements. Isn't this the same scheme that Lagos State Government have implemented since? Lagos even have metro train but NO! It's all rubbish because na APC and anything good is not expected to come from Nazareth.

If Senegal, Burkina, and maybe the Benin Republic had the amount of resources and revenue that Nigeria has.... Obobi... Half of Nigeria would have relocated to these countries.

I'm not capping..!

One thing I admire about these countries is THAT they have a FUNCTIONING SYSTEM.

It might not be sophisticated, but their system is freaking efficient.

I'm talking about political, economic, power, security, and the rule of law.

For instance, Nigeria's economy is 10 times that of Senegal, but mehn... Just forget! These guys are like abokis, but they know what they're doing.

Another thing about them is that, they don't make noise. They're just there silently living their lives.

On the contrary military regimes itself tolerated less bullshìt, tolerated way less corruption..

Many things that average Joe would will blab about currently, less and less happened during the military regime.. military leaders traveled less frequently out of the country, but let me no call names have been out of the country about 1/3 of their tenure.

Military government borrowed less (if any), compared to politicians that tout democracy, they borrowed money, then loot the borrowed money via many channels.. typically a white elephant projects.

Now, I am not campaigning for a military regime as they were not perfect either. But it is good to state facts.

Racoon:
This is what it means to have a dynamic leadership in a nation. This is the same Ibrahim Traore that Tinubu and his supporters were insulting.

This young man have invested so much in Burkina Faso; brand new stadium of world cup standard, agricultural revolution launch a state own gold mine and now also revolutionalizing the transport sector or the country

Perhaps he copied this from Lagos state. Lagos is already ahead for more than ten years with BRT but some miscreants planned to destroyed it some years ago but God pass them.

Lagos is now even ahead with blue rail line.

A country that has recently gotten its act right unlike ours that is 66 years old and retrogressing.
Liters of fuel minimum wage can buy
Nigeria 52.0L
Burkina faso 52.9L

Liters of diesel
Nigeria 38.7L
Burkina faso 60L

Life expectancy
Burkina faso 61.3 years. 160th position in world ranking.
Nigeria 54.6 years and last position in world ranking.

Every country is moving ahead, yesterday we analyzed Benin republic and saw how far they have progressed and left us behind. 1K naira in 2012 could get you 3500cfa. Today 2026, that same 1k will get you 350cfa!

We just need a leader that has sense.

Even the devil can come and take over

God abeg o🤣🤣🤣

Forget the Lagos hype abeg, a glorified village.
With immense wealth but never to see the impact.

Meanwhile one NL post was hailing 35 REFURBISHED buses🤣

They said Paul Biya doesn't even live in Cameroon full time.. he lives in Switzerland.

It’s a gamble. It depends on the person who took power.
Imagine a character like Tinubu having absolute military power

That is what politics of bitterness and jealousy produce and many of these folks lived in Lagos and probably have BRT card.

Jealousy, envy and bitterness is that you?

Oga with the money Lagos state generates in your truthful opinion is it signifying it's potentials?
Drive around the expensive areas or better still watch on YouTube, do those streets in lekki look like a place that Burkina faso guy will come and copy or learn from?
A friend told me of a south african paddy of his that came visiting, the guy said he should show him where the rich folks live, he drove him around VI, the SA guy said it cannot be, how can rich areas have open gutters?
Except you are not truthful to yourself the place is almost a slum and this observation is made in good faith devoid of malice, but rather hoping things could be better.

Democracy is not good for Nigeria. The truth is that no system of government is good for Nigeria as a country because we, the people, are very terrible human beings.

The two things on our minds or on the minds of average Nigerians, both citizens and government officials, are crime and money, rather than how to move the country forward and improve the lives of others.

This is just a one of many projects in a single state in nigeria not as a country. Sure p, LagBus, BRT etc depending on state since far back 2012 or before.

it's obvious u read about biya n kigame on papers

U kids don't even understand d meaning of military rule

So for your mind u think they will let u use social media freely?

Hope u know they can't watch porn n some things in Burkina Faso?

Hope u know u can't insult the president on social media?

So for your mind u think a major general who happens to b d president will give an order n u will want to do protest in your state right?

Hmmmm

I can bet u are less than 30 years, so for your mind u think u can insult a major general online n nothing will happen?

Go n read d man died by wole Soyinka n see how soldiers bully civilian's then

They collect your girlfriend n beat u on top

hahn:
Since you are there, maybe you should discuss with their president on the possibilty of him taking over Nigeria as well

Just 30 mins discussion. It's better for burki to take over than China or US
