Henrymas: Sad to hear... This pseudo democracy or crazydemo, that we practice in this country, must end. Some of you guys never experienced army rule. That's why you are talking like that. As an example. Under army rule, students protest, army would be sent in, and people would die. Under civillian rule...nothing like that. As bad as this our democracy is, at the end of the day, you are freer under this bad democracy than you would be under army rule. Plus, army was called in in 1966, and 1983 to 'restore sanity' . It did not work. 6 Likes |

proxillin: Yes, people died under Endsars... But under Army rule...sometimes it was like Endsars every year....(More people died in 1986 for example than under Endsars.) You guys have never lived under Army rule. That was the time when protesting against government or even writing articles against government could get you jailed for years without talking to your lawyers, or even seeing the inside of a court. This one where MNK can talk with his lawyers at will....under army rule, he would have been put in an underground dungeon and there would have been nothing like court case (and he could have even been killed and nothing would happen). Also, the times when Army came in to santise the system...within one year, corruption was back in business. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Henrymas:Please speak for yourself ,elections were peaceful in my area in lagos. There was no rigging or violence. Chinedu was roundly beaten in Magodo even though Obi won magodo weeks ago. The yoruba Christians and the youths who followed Obi have given themselves sense. 12 Likes 1 Share |

LAFOCUZY: In 1992, someone published an article in the now defunct African Concord asking if the then millitary ruler had given up. The newspaper house was closed for four months by the government as a result. Today, similar articles and commentary have been published about Buhari. Nothing happened. Plus, army boys come from where? the same mass as the politicans. I lived under army rule, and as much as I am annnoyed with this current set of politicans, I don't want to go back there. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kobonaire4: My brother, the Buhari administration is purely military. Have you forgotten Lekki. What about Supreme Court being powerless. As the current impunity continues a day will come when someone will be found guilty and he will abuse the judge and walk away |

Kobonaire4:Not true. Army wasn't just killing people anyhow. And how do you define freedom? To loot? Publish fake news? Instigate tribal wars? To allow terrorists roam the length and breadth of the nation? Kidnappers on kidnapping spree? What exactly is this thing we call freedom? 1 Like |

cybertruss: Buhari civilian is very liberal compared to Buhari millitary, where people were jailed for reporting stuff, and sometimes jailed first, then the law was fixed and backdated to make it legal. (Go and read what happened to Nduka Irabor and Tunde Thompson Also, doctors went on strike under Buhari millitary, and he sakced all of them by fiat. Meanwhile under Buhari civillian, the number of times wey doctors don go on strike, and nobody got sacked self...lol. We can criticise Buhari civillian better than the days of Buhari army, where one criticism will earn you months in detention. Army rule is not nice rule. If I even want to be generous...they were just as bad as the civillians, with an extra layer of opression. I know one thing, if someone like Abacha was in charge today, ya think this website would still be standing? We was lucky that army rule ended just as the internet was taking off. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Nigerian Governorship Elections 2023 (Live Updates And Monitoring) by Nobody: 10:04pm On Mar 18, 2023 |
Okoroawusa: Not really. If you read some Nigerian history, the same complaints people had about today's civilian rule is the same complaints they had about the first and second republic. Back then , people shouted for the army to come, and the army came, and we really suffered a lot. Many of the folks complaining were not old enough to experience army rule (I suspect most of them are under 25 years of age, so they do not know how it was really). All they have known is this corrupt democrazy...and they think that army rule was the time when things were done orderly...forgetting the human rights abuses, the bad economy, and even the same old corruption that happened then. It's not a waste of time to educate people who never expereinced it firsthand. 3 Likes |

Kobonaire4:You are right bro, but the question is are they ready to learn? They are comparing end sars protest to military rule protest, I was about writing my WAEC the protest that followed annulment of June 12 1993 election. So many secondary students were killed, not to talk of higher institution students. University and Poly students would come to our school and ask us to follow them so as to use us as shields. That first day they will use tear gas because they wouldn't want the world to see them killing children in uniform. They will then announce school closure for weeks and start using live bullet on prosters, since they were not wearing school uniform. Military regime where soldiers will stop a commercial bus fill it up, ask them to take them to wherever they want and not pay a dime. Whee solder will stop you and beat you blue black for wearing a camouflaged wrist Watch. Where they will flogged a lady for dressing indicently. Today People can call out government if they feel the latter is not performing as expected. A lot of our young artists like Mr Macaroni have at sometimes criticised the incumbent government. During military regime people died for voicing out their displeasure . Ken Sarowiwa was killed by Abacha regime for complaining about oil spillage in Ogoni land. He was not just killed, acid was also poured on him, Evangelist Niyi Adedokun was picked by Babangida, turtured and thrown in the dungeon for releasing an album criticising his government, The evangelist even lost his wife during the problem. Many people were imprisoned, most especially all this Yoruba elders that some ignorants call cowards today They formed NADECO they fought the military. And I believe some elders in other parts of Nigeria also fought for democracy. One of the greatest mistakes of Goodluck Jonathan administration is removing History from our curriculum. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Kobonaire4:Truth is people were already fed up of this thing we call Democracy which is why the Obidient movement gathered so much momentum. People usually support military intervention when Democracy fails. INEC has done the unthinkable. We hear of party rigging but hardly INEC on such a grand and massive scale. Pray that military does not take over and if the military takes over, we get a benevolent military regime. |

0monnak0da: But at least under Buhari , you can blast him and no one gets sent to jail, or newspaper houses get closed and so forth...because democracy constrains him If he was an actual army leader, it would have been much worse. Plus Ali must go and the sap riots were brutally terminated. Finally, student unionism under civillian rule has been in decline for a long time. Long before Bubu came around. 1 Like |

NothingDoMe: Based on my experiences growing up under Buhari, IBB, Abacha, and even Abubakar, there is no such thing as a benevolent millitary regime. You guys should accept that your side lost, and get ready for 2027, crying over spilt milk does no one any good. At least you have a candidate, what about people like me who are so pissed with the current set of politicans that we cannot vote for any one of them, and have gone small party since 2003? Despite my disgust, I know what went into getting us to democracy, and I know how harsh army rule is. |
