Lebanon’s premier Hassan Diab stepped down Monday amid fury within and outside his government over the deadly Beirut port blast he blamed on the incompetence and corruption of a decades-old ruling class.

Can an African leader ever do the same, he rather die in power

Yes we can do the same, and have done the same, and for reasons not as bad as what even happened to Lebanon.

Here is some history of people power in Nigeria so you know how powerful you actually are. It's just a pity that we did not come up with a solution till Abacha stepped in which just show we should plan better next time.

The question is can African youths, mostly Nigerian youths pressure the government to make them resign or sit up? The answer is no, we are comfortable with the status quo and would rather channel energy to entertainment

Very correct, June 12 made Babangida leave office after serious presure form both within and outside. I think the question now is , this crop of youth we have today, can we presurise this men to leave office

Why would you want to pressurise democratically elected people to leave office?

Who voted them, who counted your vote. You need to be real. So your vote counted in ogun election, your vote also counted in kogi election, your vote also counted in 2019 general election.

Even if we can not demand for their resignation, we can demand for ability while in office. How many people died of insecurities, who would you blame, me , you or the leaders

We are truly on a long way to freedom.

Yes, I do blame me, and you, and I am very real!

We Nigerians voted and we Nigerians counted our votes, and if our vote was not properly cast and counted perhaps we should hold ourselves able and accept that we were incompetent and learn to do better next time instead of making out like Martians voted in Nigeria and Martians counted the vote and all the people who died was not because we were incompetent and irresponsible and could not vote or count our own votes!

The beauty of democracy is we get to have another go everywhere 4 years during which we can improve on our previous incompetence and lack of able for the conditions we find ourselves in.
