bubadaniel13: oya start the revolution lets see,is it not in Tunisia that somebody set himself ablaze for that course,what are u still waiting for?

cheddarking: I hate it when misguided and stup1d 'activists' make such Inciting comments.

If there is any Revolution in Nigeria, we would be utterly destroyed.

Somalia, Congo and Rwanda would be child's play compared to us.

This guy is such a retard.

What we need is good governance, not a bunch of cowboys running their mouths inciting people to destroy themselves.

Murphy T: the saviour is here, i know exactly wot omojuju abi juwa wants, here is it...yeye boy...A BRAND NEW IPAD social media has really helped you...he dosent even no what he wants, i pity pple dat will follow him blindly...that's hw he did in d case of ipad, after fooling himself cos i wont say he fooled Nigerians, abusing arik, and gaining public sympathy, some follow follow ones joined in abusing arik, all of a sudden, after shaking hands with them behind close doors (dat same hand the streched to him initially), he stl came to social media and confess how flying with arik is d best and whoever says any thing concerning arik is strictly on his/her own..imagine d trash? and dat is the same thing he wants to do here, looking for sympathizers, i just pity him, when those playing the drums for him seize to play, then him eye go open.

cheddarking:

This is not about YOU

There are millions of people out there whose lives would be affected negatively by you and your fellow cowboys cavalier actions.

If you want to die , by all means Oblige YOURSELF.

But dont start something that could destroy other people's already miserble lives...

rainbowman: Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, however, I'm tired of reading articles from some who possess an over inflated ego and who feel that they love this country more than others. Truth be told every right thinking Nigerian loves his country and wants the country to succeed, however, violent revolution has been proved over and over again not to be the answer to Nigeria's myriad of problems. Afterall, it was tried out in 1966 and look at where it got us. Rather, we should educate our people that they possess the power to vote out irresponsible governments and stand by their votes. Those who advocate violent change and are not adaptible to it will be first consumed by their demands. In a very heterogenous country such as ours violent change will only bring about bad blood and a very represive government determined by any means necessary to repress the conditions that brought about the change, while one would feel that its corruption, I say nay, its the freedom of speech and expression which allows us to say what ever we like without fear of being arrested that would be identified as the main problem. Be careful what you wish for Mr Omojuwa because you might very well get it and will regret it. A word is enough for the wise.

And you think there is such a thing as "Nigeria's Younger Generation"?

What we have is Young Yoruba people

Young Hausa people

Young Igbo people

Young Christians

Young Muslims

Any Violence kicks off,and I can assure you that there can NEVER be a centralized push for better governance

All we will see are Tribal Militia's killing their own fathers, and raping their own sisters and subjecting their families into slavery in the name of "protecting their homeland".



Listen, I have no interest in trading insults, but in defusing the ticking timebomb such inciteful comments could create, and pouring sand on the embers of anarchy.

A violent revolution can NEVER solve Nigeria's problems. It can only make things a BILLION TIMES WORSE...

Truckpusher: You really need to go back to your hIstory books and also take a critical look at the events that happened in the middle east and is still ongoing.The truth is Nigerians aren't pushed to the wall yet and may I remind you that even the most successfull of all revolution came from nowhere and the heads of kings and queens fell to the sword of the ordinary peasants....now I'm sending you a message for you to deliver it to your pay masters in Abuja....that message goes like this; a time will come when Nigerians would be united under one banner and their unity will not be shaken by religion , tribe, language , or region...so my friend while you and your criminal friends in Abuja continue to bask on the euphoria of our disunity to loot us blind do not fail to see that the people are tightening the noose on your neck for all of you to swing and die.

Idokojimmy: It is unfortunate that people with limited knowledge and understanding about workings of revolution are here ranting. Granted that Omojuwa is disenchanted with the present arrangement becos Elrufai isn't in the cabinet, let him start the revolutionary march. In a revolution, blood flows, whose child is he intending to sacrifice? Let him start by either burning himself, or killing himself, then others will follow.
This small boy is twitter drunk. He used his handle to discredit Arik because of IPad that he carelessly misplaced. Alas, today he is Arik's biggest fan, sympathizer, and model. He uses his handle to tell us how Arik is the best airline. Give his boss appointment now, and they will start telling people about efforts GEJ is putting to better this country. SSS follow Omojuwa? them no get work be that.

solomonkane:

Try and apply the grey matter in that big cesspit stuck between your ears, it is not meant for decoration you know. What offence will it be classified as; treasonable felony, incitement to cause public disorder or what? SMH.

solomonkane: Then the SSS must be a collection of even bigger idiots than I ever thought possible. I wait to see under what laws they will charge him; all he needs is a good lawyer, he will sue their backsides off and come out more popular and richer than ever. SMH.

Trash talk from a Trashy Mind...

Are you willing to mortgage the future of your kids(born or unborn) simply to 'Revolutionise'?

Do you know the extent of widespread Weapon proliferation in Nigeria today?

Every last raggamuffin these days is armed with an AK, and is not afraid to use it even with our incompetent National Security Apparatus...

What then happens when Law and Order as we know it breaks down as a result of your 'revolution'?

Who will stop the gang of armed robbers from using their hardware to gain control of your Neighboorhood?

What will stop the OPC from declaring themselves kings of Lagos?

Who will serve as buffer between Hausa/Fulani and the Berom?

Even here on NL we see countless incidents of tribal attacks daily...

Imagine a situation where people are free to attack without fear of consequence..

You id1ots just tend to spout such BS without actually THINKING....

omosexy1:

GOOD THINKING - GOOD POST. I think people requesting for this do not realise the breakdown of societal order and the hardship it would bring. Take a look at Egypt and Libya

Boss13:

You dey make noise. Just pray those guys don't come close to you (true experience)

Joeadamu86: The only revolution we need in Nigeria is to change our orientation and mindset,anything short of that will lead us to anarchy,those calling for revolution are still dreaming Nigeria must remain one.

seechris: Omojuwa is not even within the shores of Nigeria.

omosexy1: Where is he? I hear the guy gets paid to tweet, am I correct? Gosh, if this is true then I believe he must be high on something.

lawyer: Coming from a guy who abused Arik to infinity as thieves because of an ipad he negligently misplaced on an Arik flight and after 3 months + of wailing and throwing his toys out of the pram by rentlessly insulting Arik, the same Arik called him aside, gave him a new ipad and he kept quiet. He is even going as far as praising Arik! Lol If Romney was accused as a Flip Flopper, then Omojuwa should be Romney's dad in flip flopping. He is the biggest hypocrite on the planet.

Today he is talking about a revolution and thrashing GEJ to shreds but once they call him aside, give him a house, car and make him a special adviser on twitter matters, story will change. He is just an attention seeker and I stopped following him after the Arik hypocrisy. I feel sorry for his followers on twitter because he is just using them to achieve his selfish motive. He isn't an activist and shouldn't pretend to be one. Activism isn't about making noise and shaking the enemy's hands at the back, its about real change in leadership. Omojuwa is in it for material things especially if CPC does well. He doesn't care about you. He used his followers to get a new ipad and 3/4 of his followers am sure dont have one! So what did they gain joining him to abuse Arik? If he wants a revolution, he should start it and be at the front line and we would follow him. Shebi that's what activism is all about? Gani, oshimole, Falana, frank Kokori, Fasheun, Mko etc led the front line and we followed them, oya omojuwa, carry the gun and shoot first and we would follow you, rather than you leading a revolution from your bedroom via twitter.

shymexx: It seems the unintelligent folks on the thread think revolution means civil war, or they're just feigning ignorance because they benefit directly or indirectly from the corrupt government... Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt = revolution... Islamic revolution of Iran, French revolution, Cuban revolution etc. is the type of revolution Nigeria needs...

The death rate in Nigeria is more then 10,000 annually, so Nigerians shouldn't be scared of dying... The roads might be rough at the beginning, however, the end will always justify the means... Someone needs to break this vicious cycle of poverty, corruption, nepotism, filth, underdevelopment, death, destruction etc. Nigeria should be representing the future of the black race, not the rubbish it's right now... I guess that's why I post with anger on NL everyday because we're too blessed and we've too much potentials to be as messed up as we're right now, to be honest...

Smh at the ignorance of nlers...

omosexy1:

Where you in Lagos due the fuel subsidy protest? It was just a protest for 1 week and miscreants were having fun robbing, molesting and stealing. Now think of a REVOLUTION. I will give you a hints (looting, raping, killings e.t.c). Do you think miscreants possess a sound mind like you?

obowunmi: The pit-latrine smelling prick is in Europe.

shymexx:

I wasn't in Lagos, however, don't you think something has to be done about Nigeria?

I was watching the documentary about the struggle of independence in Africa a couple of months ago - and the hopes of Africa/black race ever making it were placed on Nigeria.. Because it was the biggest(in terms of population and potentials at that time)... 52 years down the line, we're worse off - are you not ashamed and angry that Nigeria has failed the black race?? We're the pride of the black race, yet we continue to let everyone down!!

cheddarking:
[b]Apart from the French Revolution, none of the other so called revolutions have left their citizens in a better state than they were earlier.However, that is besides the point...

Please see Demographic statistics below of the countries you've mentioned.

Tunisia: Some 98% of modern native Tunisians are from a sociological, historical and genealogical standpoint mainly of Arab and Berber descent. The constitution declares Islam as the official state religion and requires the President to be Muslim

Egypt: Egyptians are by far the largest ethnic group in Egypt at 91% of the total population. Approximately 90% of the population adheres to Islam and most of the rest to Christianity

Iran: 65% of Iranian are Persian. Religion in Iran is dominated by the Twelver Shia branch of Islam, which is the official state religion and to which about 90% to 95% of Iranians belong

France: At the time of the french revolution, France was full of FRENCH people

Cuba: The 2002 census figures supplied by the government claim that 65% of Cubans were white. Catholicism, which was brought to the island by Spanish colonialists at the beginning of the 16th century, is the most prevalent professed faith

All statistics courtesey of Wikipedia.

You will notice that in ALL the countries you mentioned, there is a Prevailing culture, ethnicity, and religion. Hence these people are able to work together towards a common goal.

Now see statistics for Nigeria:

Nigeria has more than 250 ethnic groups. According to a 2003 report, 50.4% of Nigeria's population are Muslims, 48.2% are Christians and 1.4% adhere to other religions. Among Christians, 27.8% are Catholic, 31.5% are Protestant and 40.7% belong to other Christian denominations

There is NO dominant Culture, there is no dominant Religion, there is no dominant Ethnicity. THERE IS NO COMMON GROUND.

Every tribe is looking out for its own.

Each child is a member of his tribe FIRST, and Nigeria SECOND.

With such a deep cultural and ethnic Divide, ANY sort of revolution is bound to end in Chaos and Anarchy.

The only way to change Nigeria is a slow and gradual process. Rock the boat, and we ALL sink....[/b]

shymexx:

Do I need to tell you that there's no "pit-latrine" in Europe? - and how do you expect me to take you seriously with a dumb handle like "obowunmi?"

FYI, I'm from Europe and I live here....

However, I smell like money and lead a great and wonderful life as a young IT Professional...

omosexy1:
Certainly I am not happy about the State of our Nation. Its potentials are enormous even a day old baby can smell it. I know certainly that Nigeria will not survive a revolution because there is so much hate. People will seize the opportunity to express this emotion (either to the rich, the police, landlords, ethnic groups, religious fanatics e.t.c). The revolution will become a useless one. Corruption is not our problem, a lot of people think corruption is. Nigeria's problem is its inability to produce pragmatic, creative, positive-thought/idea provoking leaders or one charismatic enough to surround himself with productive individuals. Also, the citizenry is yet to demand good governance by mounting pressure on the government. However, our awareness is increasing as this has been demonstrated during recent elections. What Nigeria needs are leaders who can harness the potentials in these country and not the ones telling us they will build roads and power (those issues should not be the core of your election campaign). Corruption doesn't stop our leaders to provide jobs or social amenities.

For 52 years our fathers have failed us, their generation think more of themselves than the nation. Their greed has drowned Nigerian in the bottomless pit of corruption and economic stagnation. I just believe they should give the younger ones the chance to take over and change things. This can be done by infiltrating political parties and not by typing on computer/browsing the internet. I am already a member and I can't just wait for 2015, 2019, 2023. Change is coming but slowly and surely it will come.
