Am just wondering what it will take for people in this country to hit the street in their millions to voice their displeasure over the way things are going on right now in this country just like we see in other countries.
No power,no fuel to generate power from our generators or power our vehicles,hike in price of goods,lack of direction as a country, insecurity on the rise etc.this has gone beyond politics we all need to rise up and show our leaders that we are not fools, our silence has been our prison all this years I think its time we make the government responsible. maybe the revolution that will change Nigeria for good is just waiting for a protest.God bless our beloved country Nigeria

FRUSTRATION

I stand with you brother, it worked for the Arab countries of Africa and Asia and am sure it will work for us too,things have to change its so painful how politicians have uesd sentiment to blind us

go to lagos and shout "lagos is a no mans land" and watch men stage 3 days protest for u... tribalism beclouds us all its d bitter truth and besides buhari no care wetin u dey protest for... na shoot at sight oh... ask biafra protesters!!!

Its not only tribalism as religion, culture and lack of ideologies brought us to this mess. We just have to rise against the oppressions. If itd happening in not only in Biafra region but in all regions, he will know its not about Biafra.

It is not just about protesting. We need to understand and agree what we are protesting for before we start. So what is it?

Great revolutions are usually associated with mass violence and chaos leading to death...


Revolution is what Nigeria needs but we as Nigerians are fearful to die...

Unfortunately, not all revolutions lead to positive change as intended! [/size]

No be today...when is NLC going on their proposed "one-day" strike?

Probably because Nigerians are the happiest people on earth...

the way the biafran issue was handled scared me I was afraid it could lead to something else,most people in the north see nothing wrong with all we are facing because they feel an attack on the government is an attack on their brother,that's our problem

Of course, their must be ideology. The core essence of education is not about speaking grammar, its about knowing what's right and correcting what's wrong.

the tribal and religious dichotomy is the strongest tool in the hands of the policians to divide us,if we unite today as nothing but Nigerians trust me this country will change

Ok, so what are we moving for. Because i really do not know why we are wasting time. We need to begin to move quickly. Kick these people out or demand what we want and they must answer the people.

Shebi the BIAFRANS protested and they were called all manner of names "yeebos, IPOD, IPAD, e.t.c...now U are talkinq about Protest, brace ursef up for bashinq and bad-mouthinq

You don't wanna die and you wanna go heaven The number of deaths without revolution has already out numbered the yet-to-be revolution. Extra judicial killings, heardsmen killings, bokoharam killings, religious killings and several unlawful killings. If we are fearful then we are passing this to the next generations and we may not have peace till the end of our days.
That's why there must be ideologies

only if the security forces will not act like fools and shoot sporadically at protesters,I guess that's what the people are scared of

What those that are relatively older have come to understand is that right is not the same thing as might. I mentioned it before that the agitation that followed June 12 annulment ought to have brought about change, but didn`t. There is nothing in life that can`t reach a point of diminishing returns, and I believe that peaceful agitation in Nigeria has reached that point. Gideon Orka did a mini-Ojukwu and failed. So there is nothing that have been bringing change elsewhere that haven`t failed in Nigeria. What that means is that, people need to go back to the drawing table. Nigeria is unique therefore only something special would bring everlasting change to our country. The heroes of our country were those nameless young activists that had died at the barricade, a lot of them died during the Babangida and Abacha era. The struggle continues.

I would rather die as a man than live as a coward

I weep wholeheartedly for this country which we don't seems to cherish dearly. Our number 1 enemy is disunity. It might seems stupid or negative but let's be realistic. Our hearts are not one sincerely.

Another problem is the poverty stricken mentality among majority of us. It saddens me that we are so immune to darkness, poor pipe borne water, lack of shelter, low-quality education and bad infrastructures.

I guess, we lack metrics for development. We don't objectively have a platform where we can analyze phenomena whether there is progression or otherwise. Do we have data or have the culture of collecting and maintaining one.

That Occupy Nigeria will forever be memorable to me. Some fellow youth died for that cause and what happen? What's the result? It doesn't worth it.

Since I was born, almost every homes have been providing their own stable facilities to survive. It is getting worse and becoming a culture.
I have concluded that, I will contribute only my part with wisdom to further make this country a better place for us to live and take strategy careful steps to influence the government where possible and promote good governance.
Our political system and governance is below average.

. Was that not the exact way you S.Easterners / S.Southerners felt when Jonathan was attacked or you are one of those that argued superiority of the souterners "Igbo" over the almajiri northerner simply because one as an education ?

The reason why a revolution will not happen in Nigeria is pretty basic, the problem of the regions is different from each other so the masses are not oppressed in a uniform manner that can lead to a nationwide uproar. The fuel you buy 150 in the south is sold 200 in the north without complain, what you spend of food in the north is negligible compared to what you invest on it in the south. Militant trouble only the SS, Boko haram only the NE, Fulani marauders NC while the East n West suffers from lack of employment oppotunities something other regions consider Eldorado.

The June scenario is a very strong case to buttress my argument above. Did you notice even with the nationwide wild appeal n voting of MKO from all regions only the SW was left to fight for the mandate without a single protest from any state outside the region ?

It is also the reason why few Nigerian are sympathetic to the Biafran agitation today but maybe if these Fulani maraders are able to spread their tentacle of the calamity far enough have they been steadily progressing from the NC to the East n West maybe nigerians will finally have a unifying cause that night lead to a revolution.

Very well said! One of the things that can bring people together,surprisingly quickly, is an empty stomach. Hunger never uses a foreign language that people would find difficult to understand. In today`s world, a hungry and angry graduate in Kaduna is now in touch with the one in Osogbo who went to the same school with the one in Enugu; this can nullify some of the variables we often focus on revolution. Once you have no food, no job and not sure of a roof over your head tomorrow, you have nothing to lose.
