I think this is what we really needs now, Nigeria has ripe for such, all Nigerian leaders should fastening there seatbelt for this, this is the only way out, i have just posted a post tittle: Boko Haram: a call for revolutionm, i suggest you guys should go and read, am ready, lets exonerate this folks who have been eating and languishing our resources at expenses of our living.

kobo,
From your last take on the subject matter, you clearly stated the need for a proper revolution which must be devoid of bloodshed and you also acknowledge the fact that it might presently not be possible which is the gospel truth.
Our nation is clearly different from the nations you are referencing and the earlier we realised this, the better for us.
paper and ink revolution won't do we need to back it up with actions which might warrant bloodshed.
Nobody took Jerry serious in Ghana until he backed his words up with action. . .

Kobojunkie:

What qualifications does one need to call for revolution? What qualifications does not require to call for people to stand up and say enough is enough? I would really love to learn this one.

babaearly:

You can not win a war when you havent learnt the art of war. Many Nigerian are not ready for revolution because they dont know how to confront war when it breaks out.
And not many Nigerians will learn what war is because No one is ready for a revolution.

Fhemmmy:

true dat, however, jerry couldnt have carried out such in Nigeria, why?
1. He must have told someone and i am sure that someone will sell the info to the highest bidder.
2. All are corrupt in nigeria and none at the helm of power give a hoot

Fhemmmy:

so what is the way forward, if there is any?

babaearly:

Thats the real thing. Nigerians fail to know we got a common attitude wether you like it or not we have a comfort zone mentality. We got people praying for a revolution,even U.S got them too but the more we keep growing the less we see in a revolution.

@ Kobojunkie

You do not need to align yourself with a particular group. You only need to start right where you are.

You mean like Boko Haram, no matter how good or bad their intention was, they were starting a sort of revolution, they were resisting and fighting a feudal system that has become the bane of Northern Nigeria society and to some extent Southern Nigeria too.

Did they achieve their goal, you can say that again, they got slaughtered in an orgy of frenzied debauchery never seen since the days of Stalin in Russia.

Are the money men who bankrolled all this mayhem still alive today, I bet they are not only enjoying their carveir fish dinner they are also enjoying the most un-imaginable orgy with their numerous harem.

The days of Che Guevera are gone for good, who incidentally died doing the only thing he knew best. To embark on armed struggle is to embark on a suicidal mission in today’s world.

Kobojunkie:

Again, if what you term REVOLUTION is some violent attack of the system, then we are definitely not on the same page here. Sure, Boko Haram were in some way fighting a revolution of their own. They chose to BREAK THE LAW in getting their goal and also choose to Push to IMPOSE their ideas on he people. If you do not see the difference between that and what I have been saying so far, then may I suggest you ask me what exactly I am speaking of here. REVOLUTIONS do not have to include GUNS, RIOTS, and VIOLENCE. There have been so many SILENT REVOLUTIONS recorded in history.

"A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around" is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:

Complete change from one constitution to another
Modification of an existing constitution.[1]
Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions"

What I am taking you on is the word " You only need to start right where you are " , how do you acheive that without alighing yourself with moderates and voices of reasons in major and present political groupings. There is a saying " tree cannot make a forest" you have to alighn yourself to like minded people or you meet you waterloo like Boko Haram people.

Crude Oil:

Nigerians love talking. All they do is talk, talk and talk.
Kudos to you all.

Kobo,
It's no use trashing it out, as i said earlier, it will be watered down to mere tribal/religious rantings.
