People/Citizens power in full display and usually solid enough to move mountains.

But here in Nigeria? Docility...afonja this...ipob that...Atikulating....sai babaring and internet warriors are all we are known for.

Under two weeks...Algeria has done it and now the Sudanese while we are here still arguing about 2023...


Such a huge shame...

Sudan President Omar al-Bashir was removed by the military, Omar al-Bashir has been Sudan's President since 1989,he removed by the military. but the protest was started by a Woman. This cannot happen in the current Nigeria, because the ladies prefer to be slay Queens, Youths prefer to be Yahoo Boys and the Govt is ready to open fire in a peaceful protest.

Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria and Omar al-Bashir of Sudan are gone, both were forced to resign by protesting youths. The destiny of any nation lies in the youths, the same cannot be said of Nigeria. The youths of this country have lost it.

The only Two Field Marshals that have been Presidents in Africa;
Idi Amin Dada (RIP)
Omar al-Bashir

Sirjamo:
We do not have a sit tight President now, what do we need a useless protest for?

Only Obasanjo could have driven us into this kind of situation

tactius:


The Sudanese government was ready to open fire...and has fired on protesters. Omar Al Bash lost the support of the Army and elements of his secret Police.

Bouteflika....again, Army stopped supporting him. (He also had a stroke 5 years ago...and has been sick since then).

Mrkumareze:
that's how to know serious citizens unlike we naija . We only protest on tweeter

Buhari has spent 6 years in office and is out by 2023.

Omar Al bashir has been in power for 30 years.

selemo:
If you can't stop him now, will you stop him by 2023?

No one has ruled for 30 years here

Algeria and Sudan are different from Nigeria.

Algeria has had a president who spent 20 years in power...and was always changing the laws to give himself extra terms.

Sudan had Omar Al Bashir, who took power in a coup, transformed himself into a civilian president, and also kept himself in power by continued elongation.

Then throw in the fact that the opposition has been divided.


Nigeria?... Since we had democracy come back in 1999...the only leader who has tried tenure elongation is Obasanjo...and we know that he lost out. Even his own supporters refused to back him.

GEJ...if he had won in 2015, would have retired by now.

Buhari has basically indicated that he is going by 2023.

Nigeria is a mess....but when it comes to democracy, we are better than some other countries.

Include Sisi of Egypt.

tactius:


People are critical of Buhari over the Zamfara killings too....

You need to read Northern media.

It's not just about presidency Oga, we have several events that requires protest in this country but we only end here on Nairaland or tweeter ....

Sisi's case...hmm

The truth is most Egyptians like Sisi....and the opposition is too divided to get rid of him. Plus a large part of the opposition is the Muslim Brotherhood....which most secular, non Muslim and even Muslim egyptians don't like.

Then there is the fact that when Mubarak left, there was a lot of crisis and mishaps. Sisi restored stability.

Of course he is a dictator. But the sad thing is that Egyptians like their strongmen better than democracy.
