which politician spoilt Nigeria? It's foolish Nigerians that spoilt and are still spoiling Nigeria.

You should all be ashamed that less than 3% of Nigerians have put 97% of us in bondage. Really, it's pathetic.

Look at this 4,000 NYSC payment, do you realise if everyone agrees not to pay a dime, they'll cancel that thing? But no, Nigerians can sabotage themselves, a bunch of eediots will go and pay and the rest will have to follow suuite.

When that immigration stampede happened, there were enough people in the Abuja centre to march to aso rock and begin a revolution, but what happened? They all went home and thanked God they were alive to go on another job search tomorrow.

A courageous journalist exposed TB Joshua's condemnable act of bribery and Nigerians condemned the fellow and made shameful, eediotic excuses for the TB Joshua fellow, in a sane country, that man ought to be in jail facing murder and man-slaughter charges, not getting condolences from your president

The problem with Nigeria is it's people, the same people that want to run away and reap where they didn't sow- enjoy the benefits of good governance where the people demanded it, and until you all demand good governance, you'll continue to wallow in your self-pity and run away.

Like Mandela said "the leaders are a reflection of their people"

NOW IM ASKING, WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO US TO MAKE US START OUR OWN REVOLUTION AS A PEOPLE? IVE HAD ENOUGH ALREADY. HOW MANY OF US LOVE NIGERIA TO THE POINT OF FIGHTING FOR HER?

Nothing but the Truth soaked in Vinegar.

gbam!!!!!!!! bitter truth

Op get it into ur empty cranium....u can't fight for Nigeria & succeed, it will amount to effort in futility. Nigeria is not a nation, but country made up of nations. We don't believe in one thing, neither do we have a common destiny or aspiration. We are divided along religious and tribal lines

Don't liken us or ever envisage that what worked in Egypt,Tunisia and Ghana will ever work here. The citizens of these nations believed in one goal & hence speak with thesame voice. Unlike Nigeria, where an average northern is more concern about his imported Islamic religion ahead of his well-being & hence is tilted towards sharia & how to establish Islamic caliphate(BH as a case study) Two can only work together only if they agree and we are yet to agree on what should be our priority,if It's religion or fight for a balanced Nigeria that will respect the right of it citizen to practice whatever they believe without harassment & were meritocracy would be enshrined & appointment is given on merit instead of quarter system.

Our best shot at getting a better & working Nigeria is rigionalism or conference like Scotland did

Op and safarigirl ! Much respect to u guys. Safari u went deep on this one.. Never seen u talk this way.. there is a lot to learn from this piece .. Only a true an unbiased person will see this from her point of view

I don't hve ur phone number, I would hve called u to talk more on what u just wrote cos I'm not really good at typing long stories(that's how hard I want this resolved). But kindly respond sincerelyto this two questions(at least we can start from there) which tribe are you from? Whhat religion do you subscribe to? I am ibo, and an agnostic! Real name is shine Chinedu. Let's get a heart to heart talk here brother

@OP, I'm flattered . Was actually thinking of writing something on Nigerians' role in governance, but I'll like to gather my points well enough first. Good topic, I've always beleived nothing good comes easy, there will always be casualties in a revolution, but you can either die a hero or die a nobody. Death will come to us all, but what counts is how we are remembered

^^^^Much respect, you spoke well, hope more youths would begin thinking and acting likewise.

So the 4,000naira payment is really true?

This government are hell bent on milking nigerians dry.

I endorse this message!

I love the passion and articulation in SAFARIGIRL....she is a fighter, a beautiful one too.

She turned me off with her closure asking us to fight forNigeria.

If today wasn't Nigeria's birthday I would say some nasty things about this country.

I got to delta state from lagos state yesterday cos my mum insisted that I celebrate the independence with them, I got home safely though and woke up around 7am to find my dad slaughtering a goat! I was stunned and asked what it was for and he happily replied " its for the celebration" I was just dumbfounded. And I was forced to ask, what are you really celebrating? The indepndence we got in 1960 or the slavery that our own people have put us? Sincerely everybody has their own reason to celebrate but to me, its just another day in a country where mediocrity is celebrated. I love my country for some personal reasons, but I strongly believe that we need to demand more from our leaders and be more active than keepin mute and celebrating slavery, some see the influx of entertainers into politics as a slow revolution of its own but please pardon my skepticism, I don't believe they are better. They might have clean intentions but I don't think the ones I've seen so far have the balls to make any tangible difference! Nigeria is a big and demanding country, she needs smart and tough minds to handle her, just like buhari said, we need common sense revolution. I'm just here scrolling through nairaland though, if you have good reasons for celebrating today please do comment let me see thanks, and to safarigirl, u re really a smart girl from the angle I've seen so far, I hope u keep it up and actually do more than writing too. Thanks

Without acknowledging the present REALITY, every other talk na so so blah blah.

Resisting Change is anti revolution.

Expecting everybody to think alike is witchcraft.

Living in denial doesn't solve problems. Majority of Nigerians are satisfied with being better than few other closest door neighbours as it offers pride and non-existent dignity.

People should be allowed to choose their destiny after failed persuasion.

So many young social activists and crusaders are children of corrupt parents trying to point accusing fingers on others while their parents persist and engage in fraudulent practices and uncommitted attitude to work in government ministries and parastatal.

According to one of my brother, he said " Only a fool fight for the masses ( Nigeria) . I thought to myself after I had the word, 'this bros is not patriotic at all' .
Not until I started experiencing what he meant by his word. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria . We keep on doing same mistake all the time.
@op, you hit the nail on the head. Kudos!
I believe they say ''If plan A doesn't work, the alphabet has 25 more letters - 204 if you're in Japan.''
Not until we come together as one, these same old cargo/cabal would continue rotating themselves and their family on us.

I dedicate this song to Nigeria for her independence day.

Nobody cares, no one's concerned
We all stand watching while the city burns
Some are jumping from the windows.
Some are crying in the street
And the situation's worsening
While the chasms getting deep
The Church cried out "Have mercy!"
The Mosque cried out "haba Allah
The masses halla "it go better"
How did the cat get so fat?

A good leader always teaches about forgiveness, (not fighting)
A good leader guides the people through the path of love, (just teach them love)
A good leader doesn't fight against the fighter, But instead teach them a lesson not to be like them.
A good leader doesn't promote on mass destruction,
A good leader works on self issues before the others,
A good leader is not a blamer but a compassionate soul,

Happy 54th Independence Day

I'm up for a revolution ff me on twitter so we can arrange one @elvisosho

I understand ur eargerness to fight for our beloved country brother. I'm working on a site tho where willing nigerians can join and reason together, offline meetings will also be in place from time to time. But I'm not giving out a name yet. So when the time is right, yall will hve ur say. Let's see the bold minds

OP is very right, the average Nigerian is not ready to fight for anything. We are used to mediocrity, it's only in Nigeria that you'll hear people should be thankful that the man at least did something like it's not part if his job. Plus all the excuses we continue to make for fraudulent people just because they are from or tribe or religion. The Day Nigerians rise up and say enough is enough that is when things will change

When I hear of some people here talk about revolution I just shake my head.. The have the fire in them now.. But as soon as they see retaliation .. The fire quuenches.. But if you are very serious its a move to be lauded.. If uu want to be successful in it.. Learn about the underweb.. Its a good avenue

It is funny you seek revolution based on social evil

My brother the only time Nigeria will experience revolution is after we have acknowledge our ethno-religious crime against one another.

The day a Muslim says sorry to a Christian for crimes committed by fellow Muslims

The day Yorubas apologize to Igbos for Awo's crime

The day Igbos acknowledge Zik messed up the Eastern unity upheld by the Eastern minorities

The day Hausa Fulani Kanuri etc accept that their sons messed up Nigeria

The day other crimes are addressed


That day Nigerians will unite against the corrupt elites.

One fact you don't know is that the elites have apologized to each other and so are united. But the ordinary men are yet to do so amongst themselves


Question for you


Do you expect me to join a revolution led by a Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani or etc against GEJ when the people of these tribes are yet to apologize for the crimes committed by their elites and them.

Do you know why SS and SE are united.? The ordinary men and their elites have apologized to one another.


No social revolution until an ethno-religious reconciliation takes place and it begins with you and I


Thanks and God bless you

hello brother, a lot of things has happened since the almagamation and if you expect everybody to start apologizing, its gonna take an eternity. no body is innocent in this mess, igbo, hausa yoruba et al. So just let the pain go and put heads togetherin moving this nation forward.

Ill like to be part of such..with a vision for the change to spread across africa.. But first the people that will be spear heading this need too free from the mind cage that has plagued nigerian africans, that think like there is no box.. That are ready to disregard any religion dogma or belief for the sake of nigeria.. There should be a going in and out plan.. Once again u should consider making use of the underweb..so that the plans can go uninterrupted

oluwalfa:

Ekwensu ekwekwala!

. The politicians owe you an apology for making you feel that way, but nigerians deserve an apology to what you just wrote there. Be positive man.

every country has a history, the people that spearheaded its colonization and creation may make mistakes in decision making, but as an independent nation, we decide how we want our Newfoundland to look and feel like, this is our home now brother. The scotish are already long gone. How do you want your new environment to be like?
