Clarke could be right saying such.
two years to re-fix Nigeria is not bad at all. I concur.

Well, it is a good advice but we should know that the taste of power intoxicates .if the military tries toppling the democratic government again, it may take a decade before they will finally handover to a democratic government again which might cause us more havoc than good. so, no one should imagine military taking over government but to pray and vote for good leaders.

and who are the good leaders? the bad politicians can never allow good leaders to emerge. so the best thing is to allow the military takes over. though they are corrupt too but they are far better than the useless democracy because military tends to find solutions to economic crisis due to their unified structure.

We don’t want military because they will create more war in this country so will prefer democracy than military governance

We don’t want military as the president because they will cause war in this country instead we prefer the democracy government than the military government

If the corruption during the military rule is better than what we have at the moment, then, Clarke’s opinion is way to go!

Clarke must be very silly! He knows he has few years more to live, if the military eventually answers his call, he’d probably not be here to witness their actions.

Clarke is really silly. If is death is coming fast that does not make him speak so silly

Despite all Nigeria has gone through in the hands of the military in the past, calling for military rule again? This man must be a comedian in disguise.

This is why human beings cannot be predicted. YES is leading because majority of the people are angry with today’s government, forgetting the brutalities that occurred during the past military rule. We need to think deeply and not allow our present frustrations destroy the future of this country

Think deeply about the rotten democracy of the present, the nauseating Judiciary, inability to jail the gangsters, demonic possession of a docile people in whom the man died long ago, you will support Barrister Clarke SAN and advocate a military cleansing, even with its imperfections.

Sometimes I Wonder why the future of a country should be decided by old men and women who will leave this world in few years time. The future a country is supposed to be in the hands of the youth. When the whole world is embracing democracy one old man is saying military era should be practice again in our beloved country.chia
