MAYOWAAK: I have been wondering on the desirability of a Nigerian revolution as the calls become more frequent and intense. Are those calling for a revolution aware of its far-reaching impact or they simply assume it’s another buzzword they can bandy about? Are they mere pessimists who have found a cliché to romance so they will not have to address critical issues? Are they perhaps overwhelmed by the troubles with Nigeria and resorted to calling for a revolution as a sort of pacifier? Is there an ideology driving these calls or it’s just a nostrum that gives them time to do nothing?

How many of them have engaged in strategic thinking in readiness for the fall of the present administration? In fact, has it occurred to them that a revolution would mean at least toppling the present system of government and replacing it with something else, radically different? Have they thought of how to avoid a power vacuum post-revolution so that while we chase out one demon, seven others do not replace it? Or is this a case of “Let the Empire fall first”? What if we start it and the military hijacks it? Are Nigerians prepared to start all over again under a military government? Can they resist the military? Weapons, anyone?

Of course, we can compare the famous examples of revolution: French, Russian, Nazi and American. The first three had revolutionaries turned autocrats, more evil than their predecessors; the last one was comparatively successful because the founding fathers worked assiduously to build a great nation from scraps they wrested from the Empire. Does Nigeria have such selfless forward-thinking fathers/mothers waiting in the wings, ready to rebuild?

Have those who think a revolution will solve anything taken cultural specificity into account? Do they imagine Nigerians have as much staying power as the Egyptians or Syrians to sustain a revolution? Or we would soon be eager to get back to the rituals of our daily grind while hoping some other people keep up the fight?

Have we reviewed our history enough to question whether revolution is for us? Africa is full of old men who were youth revolutionaries but became a bigger plague on their countries than HIV/AIDS. The 1966 coup in Nigeria is a revolution in and of itself; till today, Nigeria is still giddy from its after-effects.

Wishful thinking is not a bad thing but can revolution advocates state how their end desires differ from what is already stated in the Constitution and why we need a revolution to achieve them? What really fascinates them about a revolution? The spectacles of violence and bloodshed, or a genuine desire for change? If the latter, is a revolution really necessary? Won’t protest culture or even rebellion suffice? Won’t a more participatory citizenship be far more helpful? I have put out all these questions, not necessarily to seek answers but for us to interrogate our thoughts.

Very soon, we would be called upon to begin the process of electing a fresh set of leaders. Rather than expressing outrage the President plans to re-contest, it is up to us to act with circumspection. It is our duty not to be carried away when our leaders start crawling to religious grounds or kneeling before gods. They will cut a perfect picture of pathetic prayer projects when they assume a humble stance and announce they need divine wisdom. When that time comes, can Nigerians transcend all this vaudeville and reject directionless and clueless leadership? Can we transcend tribalism, ethnicity, regionalism, sexism and all those factors that have successfully held us down in the past and choose more worthwhile people to lead us? That might be a revolution to look forward to.

Maxymilliano: Nothing of such will happen, except for the usual paid protest by rented crowds ...

Demdem: Excellent development.
I hope that revolution will sweep the retardeen from power enroute kirikiri.
Enough of foolishness and stupidity in Aso Rock.

Demdem:

and what is my business with Tinubu and co? did u see him in ur dreams today? Rubbish.

blaise26.abj:
There won't be any revolution anywhere in this country. Naija is too segmented ,too tribalistic and too religious. For revolution there must be unity. The masses must be united. But unfortunately we are not. And our leaders continuously fuel our lack of unity to their own gains and our detriment.

Sit down there and be dreaming. Counting your millionaire if possible. It's only the rich & few favored people that are not worried about the situation in Nigeria. But, have you ever put into consideration the numbers of people (youth) that is unemployed in this country? The number is so alarming.

Imagine the Minister of Finance, (our madam), made a statement about 2 weeks ago about having a sleepless night over the numbers of youth been unemployed in this country and yet, nothing has/is been done about it. Yet, the prophet of God is giving a warning on how to avert the situation of a revolution in the country, but what people like you (& yet more silly people like you in Abuja) could just say is jokes about it and laugh it off. But to be honest, I don't really blame you though........, have you ever struggle for anything in your life?

There are millions of Nigerian out there this morning with hope of a single meal today: Many are in the hospital because of different kind of sickness & yet there is no single money with them to treat themself. Go to Oshodi, and see handsome & beautiful people begging for money in order to survive. I was surprised to read a thread few days ago here on nairaland, when a guy was begging nairalander for food for his mother online.......has it not gone to the level that people like that can bust out, out of anger of what is happening in this country? & is not here on nairaland that we saw a picture of a car been bought for N300 million plus.......a single car for christ sake!

But to be honest, I don't really blame you. Are your parents not like those of Cecilia Ibru, Erastus Akingbola e.t.c...., that their children don't even know where the money are coming from, all they do is to just spend. Why won't you talk with all your mouth? Thinking that you living in your comfort zone, there will never be such thing call REVOLUTION.

Boy, please, if you don't know what to say, I will advice that you might as well keep your mouth shut and just follow us here on the nairaland, OK?

Silly goat.

dirtymoney:
and this is one of the reasons I can't stand side by side with everyone to revolt. cos it seems some people would have their own selfish ethnocentric inclined interest.
