Nigerians cry of high cost of goods and materials in the Country AND then smuggle the same goods across the border to make higher profit by selling the same at higher prices.

It is happening to RICE

It is happening to PETROL

Even GARI, YAM, PLANTAINS ETC

The same is true with Billionaires without plants, factories or exports BUT PRIVILEGED to be called for DOLLARS and EUROS Roundtripping at the Black Market.

Why do we live to sabotage our country and one another?

Nigeria is a lawless country. It is a country where anything and ever everything goes. The MILITARY needs to TAKEOVER this country cause there seems to be nothing left in it.

You should have said: "The only satisfaction Nigeria's political elite have is how to sabotage the country for profits"

The typical Nigerian is a criminal and he has the mindset to loot, but unlike the political elite, he will never smell the opportunity to manifest his evil and degenerate thinking.

The Nigerian military will only make things worse. The Nigerian military are the worst set of criminals because historically they are the biggest looters and unlike civilians, they cannot be voted out of office.

At least it is only the military that will be doing the looting. Unlike what v e have right now where presidents are looting, governors are looting, senators, LG chairmen, ministers, ministries, agencies under ministries. Everybody is looting from the top to the bottom.

Ha

Under army rule, a lot of civillans too were doing looting. NO be just army, their civilian helpers, co-leaders, etc, etc....and the looting was a LOT OF MONEY. Whether it is one person or twenty, looting dey kampe.

When Abacha, Babangida, Buhari were military heads of state, do you think it was only their fellow soldiers who were looting? Plus most Nigerian soldiers are functionally illiterate. We saw it with Buhari. Can you imagine if Buhari was a military leader and he held on to power for 20 years? Nigerians would be eating food from dustbins and dropping dead on the streets.

LOL...abeg tell that guy. He thinks soldier rule was a nice time for Nigeria.

The same looting show was going on under army rule self. CIvillans dey do the same thing as well.

It is still nothing compareyto what we have under democratic rule. Let's not even talk about this present government. Do you know how much money was stolen under rhe last two administration of Jonathan and Buhari?

I understand your stance. The point I'm trying to make is Nigeria is on the brink of collapse. There's nothing working in this country as it stands today. It generates and produces nothing and the little it's got that's barely enough to get around, still ends up getting misappropriated and stolen by our thieving leaders.

Ya think?

DO you know we are still recovering Abacha loot up till today. Man wey die over 2 decades ago? We have not even talked about IBB loot, or the Gulf oil windfall, or a host of other corruption scandals in Nigeria of today, or of roundtripping that was live under army rule.

And why are you using 'they looted less' to justify army rule. Even if they looted less, they still LOOTED. And they made a mess of our economy even.

Under the Jonathan regime some 20billion dollars mysteriously disappeared into thin air. Sanusi exposed it and got fired. Under the same r regime billions of dollars were allocated for procuring arms to some terrorist group the government had a hand in creating. Under Buhari the accountant general of federation was indicted in a corruption case ti the tune of over 100billion naira. There are many others. Betta Edu is under the ministry of humanitarian resources. And this is just one ministry. Let the military take over abeg. Let the worst happen.

That is why the only realistic solution is a complete restructuring from top to bottom. Too much power is concentrated at the centre. Why won't they kill each other to become president when occupying that position means that they have created generational wealth for themselves and their great, great, great, great grand children?

Let's assume Nigeria was practicing true federalism with regional governments. If Nigeria was practicing true federalism where most political and economic power is with regions, Tinubu would not be able to sit down in Abuja and award oil wells in Akwa Ibom and Rivers State to his cronies from the South West and the North. The power for who gets to decide such issues would be with the people of the Niger Delta. That would mean that if anything went wrong, they would only have themselves to blame because they would be in charge of their own financial and economic survival.

The same goes for insecurity. If every region had its own police force which was not being controlled from Abuja, most of the herdsmen and bandit attacks taking place in the Middle Belt and South would not be happening.

In some African countries like Ethiopia, the regions are so strong that they even have their own armies. Why can't Nigeria do the same?

I would continue to echo it, what Nigeria need now is a reset back to default mode and its the military that can do such except they want the masses to hit the street which of course would be bloody with lots of destructions would follow...!!

No matter how bad a military government is in Nigeria, this current administration is 100 times worst...!!

Restructuring is what is needed!

Who'll advocate and make these laws when tge people who are supposed to do it are the ones benefiting from the present system? Things are the way they are because the current systems enriches and benefits the elites. And let's not even talk about the Nigerian people taking back the country. The masses are not ready.

Exactly. I can't imagine a military regime will be any worse than what we are already facing.

It is happening to RICE

It is happening to PETROL

Even GARI, YAM, PLANTAINS ETC

The same is true with Billionaires without plants, factories or exports BUT PRIVILEGED to be called for DOLLARS and EUROS Roundtripping at the Black Market.

Nothing like sabotage

The country needs fx and the business men needs profit

I don’t agree. It is the same military under Aguiyi Itonsi that turned Nigeria into a unitary country. Military concentrate power at centre. They will never balkanise Nigeria.

As it is now..Nigerians would welcome any military takeover with massive jubilation...!!

The military during the era of ironsi is quiet different from the men we have now...!! So you can't compare..!!
The only comparison is the politicians who are worst than the ones we have in the past...!!

Give or take...what Nigeria need now is a military take over and all person who got hand in the mess the country is currently facing should brought to book in a military style court..!!

Infact capital punishment should be served as deterrent to future politicians ...!!!
If not the masses are allowed to hit the street it would be worst ..!!

As the Chief Exporters proponent that brought this country down plus your support for Devaluation and Structural Adjustment, you will be the first on line for Military Firing Squad.

Army takeover has been tried twice and both times the country has been left worse than it is.

No thanks
