NIGER COUP: THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TYPE OF DECOMCRACY WE PRACTICE AND THE MILLITARY COUP.

African Democratic experiment has failed Most expecialy in some WEST AFRICAN Countries. when the supposes Leaders in Africa hijack electral process and rig themselves into Power through bribery, thougry, and corruption, endless public embezzlement of common resources, what do you call that?

Some time I wonder what type of Democracy we practice in Africa particularly here in Nigeria, when a Leader refuses to obey court order and judgment from a competent court of law, that is dictatorship, when those who think they have the financial resources and Power to bribe their way into leadership position, hijack the electral process and rig themselves into power, that is civilians coup. When civilian Leaders in Africa influence judges to make judgement in their favour, that is judicial coup. Yet we claim Democracy is better than military government how?

If African Leaders thinks Niger Republic military coup d' ta will be the last on African soil they should wake up. If the ECOWAS Leaders believed the action of military in Niger and other West African countries is not the best for the region, what do they do when some African Democratically elected Leaders do wost with their power?

African citizens will continue to wish for and applaud the military actions in taking over power across African Continent as it was the case in Nigeria Republic because; Democratic leadership in Africa has failed on all sides, Africans Leadership failure to bring about the needed change and the required both, capital and human development to African Continent even after many years of Democratic rules has helped in fueling the distrust in governce and Demcratic practices as a means of sytem of government thereby in some country of Africa, citizens are seen calling for military to take back power.

A good and a kind hearted military personnel if taking over power through coup can bring about development and sanitize the society. Nigeria as a case study! Since 1999 till date, with several Democratically elected leadership in Nigeria, how much progress have we made as a country? in terms of development, infrastructure be it roads, industry, Agriculture, Education, healthcare Economy and so many more? Most of our roads today were constructed by military government, how about school? How many has any Democratically elected government built since 1999 till date?

African style of Democracy is not working, a typical African man mind is very dark and evil, Democratcise beurocracy and Process are too weak and slow to govern an average African minds. Africans need a governce system that's forwarding and stringent in nature, that has capacity to put everyone on check.

To me, military rules come close to that. even as a sitting military president, the military council will put you on check, at any slit mistake or misrule someone ex will overtrown you. Military decisions are taking at the military council not by an individual so to say. To me African Style of Democracy has failed us, we need to go back to military rules or what I called: AFROCACY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
Odum.

If the Nigerian government doesn't like what happened in Niger Republic, they should go to court.

Post like this is very funny and reeks of ignorance....
The most important thing withholding Africa back is corruption and inefficient politicians...
Is the military not also part of the corruption?
U support military rule ,which in turn is autocracy, have u ever thought of the disadvantages of autocracy? And the risk of instability especially in multi-ethnic states?
Which military council will unseat the head of the junta? Are u okay at all?
The problem of military rule is that there's no system, power revolves around few people, risk of instability ,
The only time a military coup can yield results is if the head of junta will provide a new constitution and a new system of governance... Example like what is happening in Mali, a new constitution has been voted, election will take place...look at Egypt, sisi took over, then contested and won...
Anything short of having a political system will only yield instability on the long run

Whether military or civilian, it doesn't really matter. What matters is the mindset of the citizens of the country. Nigeria is a country with somuch contradicting cultures. Such a country is bound to fail. Imagine putting a crocodile and a hippo in a pond and expecting them to go along with each other just fine, it will turn to a bloody disaster. Africa needs to redraw it's borders along cultural similarities or else everything we do will simply return back to square one within a very short time. These current borders were drawn by colonial powers for their own benefit e.g the amalgamation of Nigeria was done to fund the financial deficit in the northern colony. Asian countries like Singapore, Taiwan, Korea left unions to prosper even the USSR had to break up for the Baltic states to develop. Ireland left the UK just because it was Catholic as opposed to protestantism in UK. The earlier the AU learns this, the better for the continent and it's people.

Read back to back, front to back, absolute nonsense, what kind of human being in 2023 will still be blaming the Europeans for the partition of Africa in 1881?

I didn't blame anyone for anything, I only gave a suggestion to allow long lasting peace and progress on the continent.

Bro please get that slave mentality mindset out of here.

The black man has failed to apply science to his existence, religion & ethnicity has destroyed them.

If you had lived in the United States, Which is a 100x more complex than Africa, Yet they still strive, you would know that Africa’s problem, is created by Africans, for Africans.

The US is not as complex as Nigeria, it's people are only divided by the two main parties. Africa needs a reshuffle according to borders. In Europe, countries are made up of people from the same or similar ethnic groups i.e they are largely homogeneous. Same goes for most Asian countries like South Korea, Japan, China and others. Peace is needed for progress to take place. If childbearing limits or family planning laws are established in Nigeria today, the south might follow suit but the north will reject it violently as they do with education. That is a major cultural difference. Tribes are always bickering at each other and the larger ones tend to oppress the smaller ones.
