A Nigerian Revolution Is A Total Waste Of Time And Energy by Blackteeth(m): 3:20pm On Sep 01, 2011
Some of us are calling for a revolution as the answer to end our troubles. But I wish to plead with all Nigerians harbouring that thought to delete it from their brain cells because it wouldn't do us any good since the faulty state of mind of Nigerians would not make such an action profitable.
To explain myself better, Pastor Tunde Bakare as one of those trying to incite a revolution said that Nigerians are IDIOTS ruled by FOOLS. Now my question is what difference would it make if IDIOTS revolt and seize power from FOOLS? Will Nigeria be better off with IDIOTS at the helm of affairs?

@Poster, what kind of Revolution did you extract that Bakare was implying? So, telling folks that they need to INDIVIDUALLY change their mindsets first before they can pretend to change Nigeria will Fail? How did you figure that one? @Poster

@kobojunkie. What I said has nothing to do with bakare. I only used his statement to explain my stand against those rooting for a revolution.

Bakare essentially said that tht idio-ts would need to look within, to crush that which continues to render them id-iots, before they go out expecting victory over those who continue to live as fools over them. How will that not work?

Did you bother reading THE WHOLE MESSAGE? Or did you just pick the header and decided that was all you needed to run with? undecided undecided undecided

This isn't about reading the whole message. Your previous post before the current one clearly stated who he refered to as idiots and fools. So what are we dragging?

Blackteeth-if you study revolutions that came about from Russia to Ameria to France to China to Ghana-it was always because the vast majority of the populace came to the realisation that they had lived as idiots and had been taken as fools by a minority who actually themselves were fools because if they werent they would have allowed the general populace common basic rights.
In France in the 18th century, over 90% of the people lived in abject poverty-while the royal family lived in obscence opulence.If the King wasnt a fool-he would have seen the suffering of the people and allowed them access to basic rights instead of throwing one party after another at his many palaces

In America,the English King would have listened to the cries of those in the American colonies and reduced the taxes.

In Russia-the royal family should have learnt from what happened in France just about 100 years earlier and listened to the people

Likewise in China,Cuba,Ghana and elsewhere where revolutions were successful.

In all these countries a minority of fools took the majority as capitives denying them common basic neccessities while they swimed in unbridaled pleasure.

Despite the vast number of languages and tribes in Nigeria, THERE WILL be a revolution in Nigeria.
History has shown that this is what ALWAYS happens in every nation with the kind of events that we have -it just might mean a division of the country.The only thing that will prevent this is a strong leader for whom money is not a goal.No matter the intentions of most of Nigeria's leaders-when they get to power and see the opulence and power, they forget their pre-government rantings and begin to feast.Not all of course we have had a few exceptions and that is where the little hope lies that just maybe-bloodshed will be avoided.
Revolutions dont always need a central organizing committe or planners.While this was the case in Russia, Cuba and China; the revolutions in the USA and France were almost instanteaous.
In France, it took just one child been crushed by the carriage of a nobleman one afternoon, a riot started and the Bastille prison was sacked by the rioters-thus began the revolution and the gullotines.
In Ghana, it was just one man who inspired a few other soldiers by his courage and sincerity.They broke into the cell where he had been jailed,overthrew the government and brought him out to lead the revolution.
Till today John Rawlings (and his wife) despite his human failings still only has one house, two cars and one motor bike.
