'Revolution Now' Organizers Release 'Rules Of Engagement' For Protest by stephanie11: 9:54pm On Aug 04, 2019
POLITICSNIGERIA.COM

The #RevolutionNow Organizers have released the 'Rules of Engagement' for Tomorrow's massive protest all over Nigeria.Below is a statement sent to POLITICS NIGERIA by the group;

"The Coalition of Revolution (CORE) seizes this opportunity to call on mass of Nigerians who have shown tired of the suffering in the land and the oppressive system that keeps enriching the rich at the expense of the poor.""It is no gainsaying that the Country has been plunged into crises by bereft leadership who have turned the Country into a ‘business centre’."

"CORE is reiterating all the demands at this hour for proper clarification as usual.""The Police may have to explain to the world how the following listed demands would lead to a violent protest and treasonable felony like the Police PRO, DCP Frank Mba stated in the Force Press Release issued yesterday."

"We understand that this is the crude old trick of the State to create fear in the minds of oppressed to delay their day of freedom.""But it is more glaring this time around that Nigerians have taken their destinies in their hands and are saying Enough is Enough to hardship, insecurity, insurgency, incessant killings, epileptic power supply, disrespect of court orders, blatant abuse of power and office, embarrassing corruption."

DEMANDS
1. An economy that works for all and not a handful of individuals, banks and foreign multi-nationals.

2. An effective and democratic end to insecurity and insurgency.

3. An end to systemic corruption and for total system change in the interest of all.

4. The immediate implementation of the 30,000 naira minimum wage at all levels in the public service as agreed with the trade unions.

5. Education as an enforceable right and not a priviledge.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

1. We eschew all forms of violence. No protester should throw any object as little as stones or attack any security officials.We are aware of their intent to provoke the mass unduly by using undue tactics and sponsored agents, so as to give the protest a bad name.We encourage all Nigerians to remain calm as we are ready to fight these injustices to a logical conclusion.

2. If you would come with water, make sure you come with water ONLY in plastic bottles. We say NO to glass wares.

3. Irrespective of the colour orange recognized as the insignia of the protest, everyone is free to come dressed in ANY colour.

These guys are not serious. A revolution is not a day's thing. A revolution can take up to 10years,you can't just get a revolution by disturbing us on twitter or on the streets. We want things to change, but then again the approach is Mundane.

Nonsense. Hope the Organizers also take full responsibility for any loss of lives and destruction of properties.

Or they just roll the dice on Anarchy, absorb themselves through this statement, unleash mayhem and see much damage can occur?

Any muumu that loses his life over this ill-conceived rampage will have him or herself to blame.

A word is enough for the wise.

shocked



I pity the jobless ones who will follow in this protest.
You'd inhale tear gas in vain, while the conveners will get parastal appointments like Hadiza Bala Usman.

Say no to being used as a pawn by sellout moles.

Do not participate in the protest instead sit at home, go to work, visit a boyfriend, go to the cinema, watch porn in the office or just pray in church.
I support whatever decision the DSS, Police and other paramilitary takes on dumb protesters.

Think again.

Is it a coincidence that Sowore wants a revolution just after the ministerial list was released and he didn't make the cut?
Have you asked yourself why Yele Sowore of all people refused to file an election petition despite the flawed 2019 Presidential elections.

Have you wondered why this same person who congratulated Buhari after the elections saying it was a deserved free win then all of a sudden wants to protest again his government?

Abeg, our mumu don do.
Sowore you can and will never fool NwaAmaikpe.
You can't tell the world that Buhari was credibly elected by the people and still incite the same people to revolt against his government.
That is pure two-faced hypocrisy.

I will never endorse a Nigerian revolution spearheaded by an insincere New Yorker.

NwaAmaikpe you are what they call a MANGINA..
Whimpy Soft Ass a.k.a Man with no BALLS
I had no idea that psychiatric hospitals now allow patients like you to have access to phone and WiFi..
I will inform them to seize your phone.. These doctors should know better how mentally unstable you have been for the past 7 years now..
All you do is hide behind your phone and type garbage just for likes.. Why are you so scared of being part of a protest, ordinary tear gas you dey run.
Look at Palestine protest even Women and Kids join despite Isreal Military prescence
You want Change but You don't want to contribute to make Change.
All you Keyboard Warriors seek gratification and likes to feel good about your effeminate weak self esteem.
FELA in his grave will slap the dogshit out of you weak ass manginas..

Hmmm... I think Nigeria will actually get better in some few years to come. It's surely not gonna be an easy or smooth ride, but it will definitely happen.... People are waking up already and calling these thieves in power to order. People are now having the courage to face these heartless criminals not even minding if they lose their lives in the process.... Believe me, a true change is imminent in Nigeria. Sowore is an example of a great leader and i think he is going to be our Mandela here in Nigeria. Just tonight on Twitter, I saw a video clip of him sometimes ago. In the video clip, he said if it would cost him his blood to make sure Nigeria is delivered, so be it. And i also kinda believe his arrest was actually a trap he set for Buhari and he foolishly fell for the trap... Of course he must have known he was gonna be arrested already and I'm sure he has a game plan. Y'all should write this down, if Sowore should die in that Custody, it's gonna spell total doom for Buhari's government. Also note that there are several people out there too who are now desperate as Sowore is now and will all be rising up soon... Y'all see what Shites members arw doing presently? That's a show of bravery and very soon, many Nigerians will do exactly that and even more to these evil people.... Nigerians have had enough!

STFU!!!

It's everyone's fight struggle

It's a struggle between the political elite class vs the maltreated masses class

It's a struggle between the greedily corrupt v the betrayed humble citizens

It's a struggle between those still stuck in the 1960s v those looking for a brighter future for the nation

It's a struggle that knows no party...no tribe...and no religion

Reason why you won't see any politician currently in power (no matter the party) take side with it

Isn't it part of what your Kanu was fighting for
What then now is the difference...because it's not been spearheaded by Kanu?

the earlier you understand that "United we Stand, Divided we are crushed" ...the better
