Any attempt to put the Nigeria people in a state of sekuku must be discourage. We must use protest coupled with Force to drive home our demands.

its seppuku

Chairman, no vex - but abeg please lead the charge from the front. we will follow you.

But for goodness sake, please dont just sit there at HQ while you send other people to go die for your crazy ideology. Tell me how's that different from those terrorist henchmen who sit there eating the same KFC chicken they decry while some poor sucker goes to blow himself up? - or these wayward rightwing extremists you see on US tv whose only solution is "send in the troops" while they avoided military service themselves.

We will celebrate our heroes who show themselves to be heroes. We will even tolerate and makes excuses for our cowards who show they are cowards. What we cannot and will not accept are cowards who dress up as heroes.

Please lead from the front. We will follow you. Walahi!

No one is saying violent protest cause believe me the army is ready to kill more people. I'm talking tactical espionage on these politicians. Politicians needs to get killed that way they'll know we need what we want.

My point on this is that an individual can not start this.We need a group like NLC to instigate a kinda of nationwide strike.Let all the govt and private companies worker stay at home.No work!!!.Since these imbeciles get their loots from the nations economy,let the economy go down and see what they are going to steal.
some pple made mention of Greece,am very sure they didnt go to work which gave pple the chance to take part in that protest.
we dont need to kill all in the name of protest or fighting for our right or say we dont want a particular govt.
Just a simple sit down at home for as long as they are ready to comply with our request.
Thats all to me.

quote from blue sky.

Pressure from both the international community (UK and US) and internally, as well as the threat of instability was one of the major factors that caused the legislature to grant Johnathan Power and also curbed Turai's excesses. This pressure was as a result of exposure and heightened awareness of the problem brought about by protests from people like SNG with the backing of some prominent Nigerians

============================================================

You are very wrong. What led the legislature to grant Jonathan Power to act was 'simply fear of military take over'.
They all knew that if the military should take over power they will end up being at the losing side cos the legislature will definetly be dissolved. It was done for their selfish reasons. It wasnt for any pressure.

Even taking into account what happened in Niger, military take overs are simply no longer in fashion, neither are they as popular with the army as they used to be. I guess you are saying that the fact that the US and UK and other European countries were cautioning the Nigerian government had nothing to do with anything, right? The Nigerian government that doesn't care about what the world thinks of it but was making sooo much noise about being added to the list of terrorist nations? Again I say no need for diversionary tactics. This is the time for acting and not talking. Those who can do protest have done protest and acted according to their own conscience. Wether or not you believe the protest achieved anything should not be made the issue anymore, we would just agree to disagree.

If posters like @kosovo, cap28 and the likes believe violence is the key, what on earth is stopping them? I just don't get it. It is like actually prouldy proclaiming the cowardice that one castigates the Nigerian populace for. What is stopping anyone from actually doing anything? Enough talk, "be the change". I am only pointing out that in this context, telling people to do something you are not yourself ready to do is just plain cowardice, let us not try and dress it up in some false and pretentious interllectual cloak. It is what it is. So spare us the "findings" and those little parcels of "enlightenment".

P.s., its Sky Blue, not blue sky
