[b][/b]SUMMARY:
ELDER statesman and Nigeria’s Representative to the United Nations in 1979, Dr. Yusuf Maitama Sule, has called a revolution without bloodshed.
Sule, who spoke in an interview with The Guardian, urged Nigerian leaders to be good representatives of the people, saying that a good leader only inspires citizens to good behaviour.

“When I call for a revolution, let me make it quite clear, that I am not calling for a bloody revolution, but a cultural revolution. I am calling for Mahatma Gandhi kind of revolution, non-violent resistors. And we can make it. A good leader will inspire his people as people take cues from their leaders,” he said.

“When Murtala Muhammed came into power, within six months, he started giving this country a sense of direction. Did he kill anybody? When Buhari was in power, in 18 months, he instilled discipline into the society, he raised the moral tone of the society, he fought corruption and he was giving the country a sense of direction. Did he kill anybody? So, you do not have to kill, once you have a good leader, who will lead by example, people will follow and the society will change.”

According to the elder statesman, for as long as youths continue to succumb to the whims of greedy politicians, there would be no change. Urging young Nigerians come to terms with the fact that they are the future of the country, Maitama Sule said: “If you decide to mar it by accepting few things, collecting money from politicians, so that they will achieve their selfish aims, you will be marring your future and you will inherit an inglorious future. If you make up your mind to make the future and refuse to succumb to the machinations of these greedy politicians, you will pave way for a great Nigeria and you will inherit a glorious future. The youths are the vehicles and answer, the solutions to the problems, the vehicles of change and the vanguard of revolution.”

Better put, he's asking for Soveriegn National Coference.

The fact that this dinosaur is still talking makes me believe we truly do.

The revolution should be to keep idioots like this out of the national discourse. They are tired and expired goods who have no relevance in the scheme of things today. The likes of the 4 nomadic governors going about consulting with retired generals on the need to intervene shows how useless the current political class and elite system in Nigeria is.

Yes Sule we need Revolution and it should be freedom from your kind.

yes that is all this country needs...........a focused and visionary leader who can change the order of things. STIMULATE GROWTH AND DOWNPLAY MEDIOCRITY.

it is unfair to use such words on the person of Maitama Sule. May God forgive you

99.99% problem of nigeria is one nigeria.

nigeria should break to free the masses from slavery.

Emperor_007: Better put, he's asking for Soveriegn National Coference.

Truly, unless a Sovereign National Conference is held to sort out the grievances holding Nigeria back, Nigeria is destined for an implosion after many wasted years of aimlessly groping in the dark.

[size=19pt]Those blocking a peaceful SNC now that there is still time to work out the differences, are the worst enemies of a truly great and prosperous Nigeria.[/size]
