Why Can't We Start Up A Revolution To End Massive Corruption In Nigeria? by omicron(m): 9:38am On Jul 09, 2013
We have one of the most corrupt leaders and governments in the world yet for decades we stay and complain without DOING anything.

Is the Situation in Nigeria not enough to show the world how discontent we are with our leaders and government, especially the young people whose future continue to look more and more gloomy?

Because Nigeria is one country where a revolution can't work; and if it does, it will be the end of Nigeria as we know it!

@Op, the Arab spring revolution was started in Tunisia by a young man who doused himself with fuel and set himself on fire. You can do the same.

Why not follow his footsteps and be the trigger for the Nigerian revolution instead of hiding under the cover of a mouse and keyboard to call for revolution?

that's exactly the problem, we keep pretending, day by day, that someone somewhere will soon make a change, somone instead of ourselves. Both you and Op are the same. Oh..and me too!

There's this thing about us Nigerians.

Its virtually impossible. Corruption doesnt just occur in positions of power but also in the daily life of the average Nigerian. It has become ingrained in the fabric of the country.

The Government in Nigeria is the innocent mirror of the nation. The quality of government and its leaders, is simply a reflection of the collective consciousness of all the people in Nigeria. In some instances, leaders who came to power as the champions of anti-corruption have themselves been charged with being involved with levels of corruption even more serious than those of their predecessors. If the collective consciousness in Nigeria is disintegrated and negative, and people are not behaving in accord with Natural Law, then problems and corruption will be an unavoidable phenomenon of government. If, on the other hand, the collective consciousness in Nigeria is positive, integrated, and coherent, then the government will not be influenced by any negativity. If the people in Nigeria wish to be protected from corruption in government, then they must create an integrated collective consciousness. Positivity and harmony should be so strong and dense in national consciousness that negative influences cannot penetrate it.

Don't compare me to the Op. I'm not calling for a revolution cos things are getting better in Nigeria. Op says his future looks gloomy, mine looks brighter than the brightest star.

if you look at the countries of the so called "arab spring" name one that is now better off after the revolution.
when it happened in libya, do you know that the negro became an endangered specie because the so called revolutionaries had their own biases against dark skinned people? i cannot say cos i don't have the facts but i bet you that corruption in high places has not ended in that country. is it egypt?, syria,tunisia,which one.
the people destroy themselves, destroy their own country only to open the door to manipulators from other countries who don't have their best interest at heart.
the gun runners want to sell....
the bomb makers are selling....
condom manufacturer will sell (remember women/children even men will be raped).....
formaldehyde sales will go up... dead bodies need to be preserved
millitary equipment will sell....
at the end after destroying all infrastructure that it took years to build,
you then invite foreign contractors to rebuild roads,bridges,government houses enriching them further at the expense of our blood, sweat and tears.
depending on who is power, these contractors know how to butter them up so that the relationship will continue. i am yet to hear of a revolutionary who gets power and then takes a vow of poverty to help his people. they only go on to continue the power trip of their predecessors.
youth be smart. the ticket to liberty lies between your ears. use it. be inventive.
