He doesn't have the power to do that.

Small small military go take over...
Can't wait for that day though.

BuharisBoy:
I don't want military to take over now!

Nigeria is a troubled state so let's advocate for a military administrator for Nigeria

BuharisBoy:

budaatum:


Kind of shows there are some here born after we took over from military. You can tell who they are by how they so want to jump back into the fire.

BuharisBoy, please tell them so they hear.

I gave him a higher dose, he can't call for military administrator for troubled states when the presidency is also troubled.. I was in secondary school when ibb took over so spare me the worst civilian administration is better than the military regime lecture
i didnt buy in that maxim in d university

budaatum:


I guess they never taught you in your university how you use democracy to change the worst civilian administration unlike the military administration you have zero power to influence. Or perhaps that just wasn't what you went there to learn or you just missed the class that day?

Thankfully, you are here on Nairaland so hope is not lost.

Join the Nairaland Democratic Party and be the difference you want to see!

I had Babangida,Abacha and Abdusalami under my belt as my experience for a military rule but unfortunately non was ever worse than what our Buhari has been dishing out to us under the guise of democracy.
If Buhari"s method of ruling is what you'll call democracy then I would rather have a military dictatorship.
It baffles me that people like you still have the guy to keep supporting a failure like buhari but who I'm I to blame you though.

slivertongue:


funny enough I teach, and I tell me my students that I don't buy the presences of democracy. am of vertical thoughts

budaatum:


I am afraid you do not quite seem to understand what democracy is about, because it is not only a form of rulership, though it can also be.

Democracy is about the majority electing the rulers of a nation, and the current Buhari administration is that majority's choice. Its like a certain trump was the choice of the majority in 2016 or whenever it was, but not the choice of the majority in 2020 hence a President called Biden in 2021.

Nigeria will have an election in 2023, I believe, when the majority will exercise their democratic powers to elect a new president. We can just hope the last 8 years open more eyes so the majority wisely choose, a choice you clearly will not ever have if military were to rule!

budaatum:


You teach, and you "don't buy the presences of democracy. am of vertical thoughts", whatever it is you mean by that?

I thought Nigeria was bad enough but if you are teaching antidemocracy and your desire for military to take over I think I need to become a lot more worried than I currently am!

Unfortunately Africans has the habit of making mess of everything given to them,religion was brought to us but we made mess of it all and so also every other things including politics.
The democracy we claim to be practicing has been so demoralised to the extent that people would even clamour for a military rule. Come 2023 who would you vouch for to give us a good governance with the caliber of hungry and self centered mauriding politicians abound.
I'm afraid if there would ever be any election again in this country though.

slivertongue:


the problem with Nigeria is at the presidency not the subnational units

'pretences of democracy'

BuharisBoy:
why? What obj did!

Abascoh:

Obasanjo abused his powers because Nigerians were yet to fully grasp the concept of separation of powers at that time. The president can only declare a state of emergency with the approval of the national assembly and even then, the civilian leadership structure will remain in place, he can't impose military administrator on any state. Check back to when GEJ imposed a state of emergency on the north east and see how it was done.

budaatum:


The problem with Nigeria is you and my very own self! We, the Nigerians! And until we realise that fact and take responsibility for our existence, wailing continuata indeed, shall be our collective lot!

owobokiri:
If he likes let him impose masquerades as governors here, it will backfire and will be resisted. And you know hat? Buhari won't be here long enough to even defend his atrocious decisions... Chew on that.

slivertongue:


the presidency is an institution put in place by the followership and not really an individual though an individual gives it direction. am not in the class of those who take nonsense from elected leaders under the guise of nascent democracy. this thread called for military rule in troubled states and my take is why not the presidency which is inept in solving inter group conflicts. I did aluta for this fourth republic and ain't ready to be a slave to it. u are at liberty to worship these moronic leaders
