Omodua: Thanks to Nzeogwu, we ended up with four years of inter-ethic violence, pogroms,and a brutal civil war...simply because the man could not resign his commission, and go into politics, and present his programme....peacefully. And thanks to Orkar, we very nearly entered into civil war round 2....plus his coup was poorly planned. Did not control the vital infantry units, and got messed up as a result. And by extension, you should also hail Buhari, who had the balls, and was a real soldier...in your opinion, to overthrow a civillian government that was just as corrupt as the one he runs now. No be man thing be that. Instead of him to resign and go into politics then, he trhew them out...and sent us backward for another 15 years for nothing. Plus, you guys call for sanity, then when sanity involves arresting your fave politican, you people will start crying foul.Right. 1 Like |

Tallesty1: People have always called for coup since 1999... Like this one from 2013.... There is panic in the Nigerian presidential villa, Abuja over a secret document prepared by a group of senior Army officers detailing the crisis rocking the Nigeria Army over recruitments and promotion exercises being carried out by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Azubuike Ihejirika among other issues. The officers operating under the name “Group for the Salvation of the Nigerian Army and the Motherland (GROSNAMM)” however warned in the document that the crisis in the Army has already generated serious heat that can lead to mutiny in the military barracks and eventually result in a conflagration in the polity. According to them “The President, the National Assembly, the Minister of Defence and the National Security adviser should know that the actions and inactions of General Ihejirika portend great danger for the army and the country at large. A disgruntled officer corps is a recipe for disaster. It means the army will lack unity, cohesion and purpose. It will be pre- occupied with fighting itself, as our terrible experiences of 1966 -67 showed. Already, information filtering out of the barracks indicate rising tension which is not unconnected with the injustices discussed above. There are even reports of officers moving their immediate families out of the barracks, away from harms way. President Jonathan needs to act and act NOW. He must not allow himself to be a pawn in a grand design to destroy his government by brewing the kind of discontent within the Nigerian Armed Forces which could become contagious and eventually engulf the entire society?” The document which content could however not be verified by iReports-ng.com as none of those contacted in government was ready to speak on it, is reproduced below unedited: Sauce :https://www.nairaland.com/1180803/panic-presidency-over-mounting-tension That's from 2013. Did the coup happen? No. |

Good news, coup appears to have been quashed... BISSAU, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Guinea-Bissau's President Umaro Sissoco Embalo survived an attempted coup on Tuesday but said many members of the security forces had been killed repelling an attack on democracy that may have been linked to drug trafficking. Finally some sanity. Let us hope that we the people learn that democracy is hard work, not ready made. |

backbencher:You're talking of the past. Talk of the present. Life is dynamic. And the dynamism should be related to the present. Buhari has failed. A mitigated disaster. Coup is the only option to remove him. Not Ballot box. You know his antecedents. He has virtually destroyed Nigeria. |
Re: Sustained Gunfire Amid Reports Of Military Coup In Guinea Bissau by Nobody: 6:14pm On Feb 03, 2022 |
Omodua: You should know that what you are saying...and yes, Buhari is a failure, was said in 1965, and 1983, and each time, we ended up with brutal army rule (in 1983, we ended up with Buhari round 1) Plus, the Army is made up of Nigerians like the civilian leadership are made up of Nigerians. Corruption is in the Army the same way as it is in the civillian rule.The Army is as much a reflection of the Nigerian people as their civillian rulers, only they have guns. Nothing will change, and you know it. I regard all of Nigeria's civillian rulers as unmitigated failures. Nigeria has not developed properly since 1999. But millitary rule...won't work. And we all know i Lord knows how many times people have tried Army rule with the idea that 'it would be better' Every time, within ten years, it was worse. We have to work harder at our democracy. Because democracy is not working in Nigeria because Nigerians prefer to vote and go home. 1 Like |

backbencher:I still vote for Military rule. Under the military we had breathing of life. No insurgency. No banditry. Farmers were happy going to their farms. There was peace in the Land. Not graveyard peace. Buhari has mismanaged our diversity. Everywhere IDP camps. And is it something to be proud of? Think again. Your support for Democracy is misplaced! |
Re: Sustained Gunfire Amid Reports Of Military Coup In Guinea Bissau by Nobody: 10:54am On Feb 08, 2022 |
Omodua: Actually, there wasn't peace in the land, there was violence , and the same tribal and religious warfare was present under army rule. And the economy was bad. I grew up under Army rule. I know what I saw, and in addition freedom of speech and conscience was shut down Army rule does not look nice, the way you see it. 1 Like |

backbencher:Comparatively, Army rule was better. That's my grouse. Under civilian democracy, Nigeria's experiencing anomie and tension. No respite. Fulani ethnic cleansing was not there or rife. There was relative peace. And we want such template to thrive at the moment. |
Re: Sustained Gunfire Amid Reports Of Military Coup In Guinea Bissau by Nobody: 12:10pm On Feb 08, 2022 |
Omodua: There was a lot of ethinc and religious violence under army rule. Need i remind you of the pogroms of the 1960s and the long religious conflict of the 1980s. Also, no freedom of speech at all. If you want things to be better, run for office. Participate. Campaign. Change 1 Like |

backbencher:Yes. There was strife under previous Democratic experiment. But not at the scale we are witnessing today. Under Buhari, life is meaningless and brutish. Banditry and Fulani hegemony. IDP camps dotted over the place. Essence of leadership is lost and no hope for tomorrow as life is cheapened. National pride is lost in ethnic cleansing. We are no longer at ease. The list goes on and on...! |
