Amen!!!
Please, when are they granting the “humble request”?

don't ever pray for military rule, military rule in Nigeria was a bitter experience

BoldBrainz:
How are Nigerians in their 20s supposed to have any knowledge of the Abacha days when History has been removed from the list of approved subjects in Secondary schools?

As if that isn't worrisome enough, the just released WAEC results show that most Science students didn't offer Geography.

It feels like there's a deliberate attempt from some quarters to completely alienate the young generations from their roots.

the history of Abacha regime is still free for anyone and everyone to read

I keep hearing of how Abacha was better than the democratic govt and I noticed that those who praised that regime are either in their 20's or doesn't read about history at all

It was in that heavenly Abacha era that Nigerians fought against military rule, if it was so good as you all feel, no one would have fought against it, it was in that same Abacha time that Ken Saro wiwa was beheaded cos he was an activist, and he didn't do half of what Nnamdi Kanu and Asari Dokubo did, he didnt use guns, he was a learned activist who uses the pen and paper as a weapon, yet he was killed. Macaroni, Aisha, Bovi would have been killed if Abacha was still alive. Obasanj was arrested during Abacha time just because he complained about how Abacha sent money through offshore, shehu Yaradua and mashood Abiola were killed in custody. Abacha issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts effectively giving him absolute power, none of the democratic govt did anything close to that, Another gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial. He further abrogated Decree 691 of 1993.

Yes there was a significant growth in foreign reserves but that led to a significant looting unseen in the history of corruption in Nigeria which beget the popular saga "Abacha loot", if you haven't heard of that catch phrase you must be living under a rock.
You buy data and come online to tell us how Tinubu govt can't make you buy fuel, go and ask your parents what is "Abacha stove". That is a testament of first class suffering.

You have no idea what Abacha era feels like, they tell you he built roads and reduced our Dept and you all masturbate over it. He was so bad they had to kill him.

There is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING more important today than the fact that Nigerian youths made a clear choice of who would lead them in February 23 presidential elections, but someone rigged them out.
Keep in mind that they hoped on that election after the violent put down of the End Sars uprising.
For the first time in the history of Nigeria, the country actually forgot about tribal differences and voted for a man they could trust as a Nigerian.
But that process was hijacked away from them.
No one in his right senses would be talking about anything else political in Nigeria (unless the person is part of the conspiracy to change the subject).
How can we ever reconcile and heal, when thieves keep hijacking and arresting the process, to corrupt and defeat it?
The only thing left of Nigeria is a coup or violent civil war to settle matters violently, and that is unacceptable to patriotic Nigerians.

Thank God I was alive and in Nigeria in 2023.
Nigeria youths doesn't have anyone in mind, they were even advocating for a party called YDP, youth democratic party, some of the youths already put their hopes on Osinbajo and not Peter Obi, I could remember that even after this, some elements of youths still tarnish Osinbajo image calling him errand boy, but we still believed in him and his economic prowess, Obi wasn't a big force so he had little support from youths.
2days to PDP primaries, Obi left PDP and joined LP, he still wasn't as popular as he was cos Osinbajo was the choice, after Osinbajo lost the primaries, Obi popularity skyrocketed thanks to Aisha and Marcaroni who played a vital role in endsars, some of the youths are skeptical about Igbo man ruling Nigeria due to the fiasco that surrounds ipob and Nnamdi Kanu, then what follows next was series of insults to those asking questions about Obi and his stands, I did not like Tinubu neither did I like Atiku but I need to be sure of Obi but what we get is insults when we question the candidacy of Obi, this made alot of us build our tent elsewhere and for me, I had to settle for Atiku.
The Obidients took the cyberspace and start insulting people, he gets social media power and when polls are conducted, he always win and Obidients thought it was a '"carry go" not taking cognisance of the 35-40% of those that always says they haven't decided, those are the people that are asking question and needs answers, at the end, the election moved into tribal and religious sentiments and everyone voted his or her tribe, the undecided ones had to vote a leader that they know they can criticize.
This is what lead to Obi failure, social media doesn't win election else Atiku would have won Buhari. The Yorubas are now taking over the social media insults and it might also destroy Tinubu chances if it is not checked, you can't force someone to vote your candidate through insults

Bro the issue is Democracy isn't favoring anyone in (Africa) Nigeria was good during Abacha era.

and it was in that heavenly Abacha era that Nigerians fought against military rule, it was in that same Abacha time that Ken Saro wiwa was beheaded cos he was an activist, Obasanjo was arrested during Abacha time, shehu Yaradua and mashood Abiola were killed in custody. he issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial. He further abrogated Decree 691 of 1993.

Do you know what Abacha rule was?

onumadu:
Go to war in Niger.
Abi fear don catch you?
Or better yet, surrender the mandate you stole.
EOD.

Igbo, Ikwerre, Bantu, Koma .... whatever is totally irrelevant.
What matters is the mandate you stole,

You see ehn, there is a very bad history between igbos and the people of Niger Delta cos of Biafra fiasco
The scar from that history still aches in the heart of the Niger Deltans, the igbos elders has erased that history in their land without addressing the cause while the elders in the SS told their children about it and it is now this generation that holds grudge.
You wonder why the people of Rivers State didn't give back the igbos their properties after the war, because the relationship wasn't friendly back then.

If we don't address this root cause, it will only linger on, the Igbo youths will see it as it doesn't matter anymore probably because their parents didn't tell them history due to the fact that they are not proud of it, the Niger Delta youths still can't heal from it because some of them lost their parents and grandparents parents.

The youths of Nigeria needs to address their issue and stop letting the old men manipulate them, we just inherit the grudge of our fathers and hate ourselves for no reason

I know this buh what I want u to understand is democracy from my opinion is not the best. Even people in United States and England complain about there system of governance. I believe the Niger junta will return to civil rule once they put everything in order.

going from military to democracy is not as easy as you think bro, a dictator will not want to relinquish power and if you complain on how they rule you, you could get killed.

England is not democracy either, it is more of unitary, parliamentary and constitutional monarchy.
BTW, USA doesn't complain about the system, they complain about the govt

Geneh411:
Most likely you will still have it, I usually say @ the bold, not until my boy got infected in school and brought it home. Everybody at home was infected except my wife cuz she had it in her childhood, omo na old age I come dey treat chicken pox, I still have the spot on my face till date

this is my fear, people keep telling me I will have it, I want to have it early and not on my wedding day, I come deh fight chicken pox, e no go too make sense na.

BTW, how old were u when u had urs?

Blaze14k:
So how has this democracy u practice favoured you. I think the white feed us this narrative that democracy is the best form of governance. Look at china and Russia who don't practice democracy.

Russia practice a federal, semi-presidential republic and not a military dictatorship while China practise unitary Marxist, these system of govt follows a constitution, A military govt doesn't have a constitution.

nepapole:
Chicken pox na like general market na.

I also dated pimples. E still dey visit me sef

I never had chicken pox, no body in my family has ever had chicken pox

Blaze14k:
So military rule and civilian rule in Nigeria which of them do you think is better

as an advocate of freedom and a man who likes to live like a bird, I love democracy.
Our problem in Nigeria is not the politicians but the masses, we give too much power to a democratic govt and when someone else stands against misgovernment, we will attack that person and attach tribal and religious sentiment.
A democratic govt isn't suppose to treat us badly if we knows the power we carry, we feel defeated even before we try. But I am hopeful that with time, we will definitely know our strength. But then this democracy is still better than a dictatorship.

Lekki toll gate was not too long ago. You seem to be too young to remember the police and army killing unarmed IPOB protesters. I guess the problem is that you are not very informed.

is there any evidence that police killed unarmed protesters?
Don't those people have families? How come no one complained about the death of a family member in the lekki toll gate? Did they kill the people and also trace their household and kill their entire family too?

casualobserver:
Is are all these francophone countries free under France? How can you have 65% your foreign reserves kept in France and you are only allowed to access 20% of your own money and even the. You must play interest o. Your own money? What kind of freedom is that?

I am not worried about Niger military rule, I really wanted that France out of their country, my problem is those wishing military rule on Nigeria

ehikwe22:
All the ones wen Lai Muhammed do na free speech? Or weren't you aware of how Lai Muhammed pocketed Nigerian press, slamming fines in several millions on radio, TV and print media? And how the owner of premium times, one of the biggest investigative media was declared wanted dead or alive and how he's been forced to compromise

you think in a military rule, you can call your president a urine dispenser or Ebola? Your death won't even raise a dust

tctrills:
You already forget the protest at Lekki? I can count over 10 protest that ended with violence in democratic Nigeria. You seem to forget so easily.

the govt said you should provide one person that was killed and no body could provide, the evidence you people brought, like the girl covered in green and white was from a movie scene in 2017, the other one that you people said died, she came out to debunk it that she is still alive.

The witness that came out said he was on the ground and the Nigerian army came and took the dead bodies to cover up the death, we begin to wonder why they left only him.

Oga open ur eyes, there was no shooting in lekki, even if you watch that video, you will see that the Sparks from the guns was pointing up, if it was shot at the masses, they would have scamper for safety but they didn't because they have the mind of a god abi?
Guy rest

Homiesjinxbank:
Military rule better,us that is doing democracy here self, can you talk rubbish here in Nigeria without looking behind your shoulder? And lastly try to dey read well because Omega radio is situated in Burkina Faso, try dey Read well bro.

if it was in military rule, NLC can't even do that peaceful protest, a protest is a coup in military rule and the leaders are killed to send a strong message

tctrills:
Nigeria is s democracy yet we still arrest people for demonstrating and we even kill them so what's the difference?

NLC protested, Doctors were on strike until yesterday and today they are safe.

In a military rule, a protest is seen as a coup and the leaders are killed by firing squad and if you condemn it, you are seen as an accomplice and will be jailed. There is no constitution in military govt, the dictator decides how to run his country

Blaze14k:
If they ask you to chose between seizing ur freedom of speech or allow France to take ur resources with easy, which of them will u take

let France take my resources.
Cos in dictatorship, the dictator will still run the resources as they please and if you talk, it will be considered a coup and you might get killed. Dictators are coupists themselves but they will kill any percieved coup that wants to overthrow them

This is what a military govt looks like, it is still fresh for now, wait until military don settle down then you will understand that even freedom to life is not guarantee when you have a dictator

Of cos they will deny it, you go deh trust politicians.

Good, I personally think this Junta forces should be allowed to rule the country, though they should free the captives

Good one zulum, a good man

BiafraAburi:
So your drug lord will not even be going to the war front, but he want to send innocent husband and parents of children to their early death in niger republic while he relaxes in iragbiji gulping ewedu, amala and gbegiri, right?

DrMPH:
If you're the only sane person in online spaces, won't you be worried about your sanity? What is ECOMOG and what does each member state contribute to it? Trying to make a distinction without a difference is not intelligence.

the fight is between ECOMOG and Junta forces, every country provides assistance, one country must provide more but that doesn't mean the war is fought only by that country

Chinjo2:
What are you saying? Who is the chairman of ECOWAS and who.will fund 80% of the cost of the war?

Oga, the fight is between ECOMOG and the Junta forces, the different countries fund ECOMOG based on their strength
