This is a follow up thread to the referenced thread below:
https://www.nairaland.com/3210525/nigeria-finished-me#47274430.

Went through the aforementioned thread last night, and I really wept at the level of suffering that has been passed down to us by the elites.

Last night I couldn't sleep cos of the pain and agony. Then, a thought came to me that we really can make a positive change and that we are not outnumbered, but rather, we are just unorganized. A 10million Nigerian youths can make a difference. Can ten million Nigerian youths converge at National Assembly or the state house? And every youth should know that if we don't protest now, posterity will judge us, our children will so curse our existence. This is a struggle for the survival of the common man.

Personally I don't think I will be alive come next 50years.
So, we should see this as a duty we owe generations unborn.

So I call upon all the vibrant youths that have already made a comment on the aforementioned thread to think about this proposal.

I am fully in support of this thread. We have to take our country back from these wicked looters who would rather stash their loot abroad than create jobs and enabling environment for Nigerians to thrive. I have come to realize that our salvation does not lie with any political party. Apc and PDP are the same corrupts elites with different party names and logos with the aim of shortchanging the system. Frustration is killing all youths across our ethnic divide and poverty does not recognize tribe or religion. embarassed

Bros. You don't know how happy i am to read your post. This is how it starts. It takes one person or a group of "normal" people to begin the change we all seek. Nothing might come of this, but at least it will bring right thinking people together to discuss the way forward. I have been in the thick and thin of people who are determined to fight and, fought for what they believe in all over the world and i can tell you that it starts when a people are at their tipping point. Nigeria is gradually getting to it's tipping point. The reason these guys get away with what they are doing is because of ordinary citizens in Nigeria who prop them up. Nigeria needs to do what Jerry Rawlings did in '79. Ghana is better off for it today. The reason why nothing will change is because the system is corrupt. The people are corrupt. What has to happen needs to be quick. It needs to be targeted. It needs to be violent. It needs to shake the country. We need a coup or armed revolution. Without this, we'll be talking about the Nigerian condition for the next 50 years.

Thank you for that wonderful statement. Each time I see new born babies in this country I usually weep for them. Is this the country we are going to leave behind for them? Enough is enough! Let's make our elites know that we put them there and we have a voice.

In Shan Khan's voice; IT HAS BEGAN

When is it coming up? Let's try as much as we can to copy a letter of request for peaceful protest to all security agencies online, make sure youths that are into IT set up online feeds to the whole wide world. cool cool

@Op what then is the manifesto? There should be a master plan, a set out objective and goal. Who or what are we going to start boycotting? I hope it won't just be civil disobedience?

***Modified

Stating my simple plan


1 Calling out to all young artistes for a new jingle, if they can do memorial songs for late musicians they can as well do something for the tutus youths of today as a wake up call.

2 I like that presenter Freeze abi freezer, it's time he bombards the likes of Ben Bruce for an all out interview. Let's hear the senators talk.

3 The Senate is usually filled on Thursdays I believe, that's a good day to sit it out in the open for them there at the National Assembly.

4 Most importantly to have a 24/7 coverage of the whole process aired on YouTube. In case they hijack national broadcast.



Demands;

1- Immediate pay cut parallel to civil servants, politics is not a career as such their wages and allowances should be commiserate with the levels in the civil service depending on whether Federal or State. A uniform salary scheme.

2- I think we've had enough of this expatriate thing, a complete overhaul of the current set up of govt ministry and agencies encourage use of contractors in every facet of the economy leaving our teeming youths unemployed or discharged without benefits.

3-Social security; not just dolling out MasterCard National ID but making sure whatever #5000 they proposed goes in there amongst health insurance cover.

4-If Thomas Sankara could permit the use of the presidential hospital in Burkina Faso then the Aso Rock Hospital with all the huge budget accrued to it should be made for public use too.

5-They should buy their own cars like every Nigerian. Official cars to be managed by a national logistics Dept for all federal agencies.

6-The recommendations from the Confab is good and as such should be visited and passed. A Youth summit on the implementation of the initial recommendations and possible addition of more.

7- Civil servants are more of the administrative especially as regards industrial revolution in this country, we're struggling wm to be an industrialized nation owing to the fact that we have politicians heading ministries and part of the board in decision making and proactive planning. Time to let professionals take over, no more square pegs in round hole. If you're not qualified booth out!

Let's start from here.

Instead of them to find ways to eliminate this thieves we have as leaders, they were busy begging.

Begging in your own country.


I would wish the youths join secret groups like avengers, OPC, Bakassi etc, with the intent of assasinating our politicians who are rumoured in any way to possess more than 1billion naira.

No need for occupy, assasinate two or three politicians and others will change.


We have no need for senators as they'v proved it with their selfish actions. They do not worth their Salaries and allocations they receive.


Youths should find ways and join militia groups to attack our elites and not the poor masses.

Let our protest be based on cost of governance.

If any politician will not be comfortable with any stipulated salary in any position, then he has no need to contest for the position.


Let us make them know they are voted to serve the public and not themselves.

Exactly what I had in mind, for the National Assembly to cut down their allowances and the cost of governance nation wide. Hold them to pass the bills there or remain inside since they so much love during allowance without actually sitting.

This is should be a start.

As u ar replying this thread pls also sugggest what we ar going to demand from government. We the youth will decide the salaary and allowance of all these politicians. Imagine a tout in senate earning more than a prof. To serve Nigeria is not by force.
Age of a politician will not be more than 50 years. But that should be after this present government. Imagine how many years was david, saul and the like to rule Israel
