Now let’s discuss…… First, this is not in anyway trying to say Military rule should return to Nigeria but…. I see no difference with what’s happening in Nigeria…. The so called democratic government is a combination of all the bad sides of Military + democracy while leaving out the good sides of both..
Ladies and Gentlemen… After reading all that IBB achieved under Military leadership.. Please, what exactly did Buhari achieve in 8 years of Democratic leadership?
Africa should wake up and start holding their leaders accountable…
