What Revolution?

A revolution cannot take place in Nigeria because it is not a nation, but a country of many nations. Revolution often takes place in a nation where the people are united by common descent, history, culture, or language.

Nigeria has many nations, including the Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani, Ibo, Ijaw, Nupe, Tiv, Kanuri, Efik/Ibibio and others. Nigeria, is thus, a multicultural country. The best that can happen is ethnically motivated violence which will finally lead to the dissolution of the country.

Revolution is closely affiliated with a nation and has never happened to a country.

Consider, for instance the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, was a country of four nations, including England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Not once did they ever experience a revolution, but several ethnically motivated rebellion that cumulated in the civil war between Ireland and England in 1922 which led to the Republic of Ireland breaking away from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

After Ireland left the United Kingdom, it was yet another ethnically motivated rebellion in Scotland that led to the introduction of the devolved administrations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland with each having total control of its military, police, court, mineral and natural resources as well as revenue from taxation. They still have separate football teams and different currency designs. They had no revolution because the United Kingdom isn't a nation, but a country of many nations.

Once more, it was because the United Kingdom is a country of many nations that led the Northern Ireland to take up arms, another rebellion, against the England, until the intervention of the United States that eventually led to the Good Friday Agreement, which enables Northern Ireland to govern itself as a self governing region, independent of the Federal Government of the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom has, consequently, never experienced a revolution because it is not a nation, but a country of many nations. The nations therein were always antagonizing one another until they all adopted regionalism.

However, the opposite is the case with the United States of America. A revolution was possible in the United States because seven people, including the English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Belgian, left their respective nations in Europe and mass migrated to the United States in order to escape religious and political persecutions in their respective countries.

When these seven immigrants got to the United States, they exterminated the native Americans and adopted among other things Christianity as their preferred religion, English as their language and democracy based on Federalism as their guiding principle of governance. They therefore became a nation of immigrants united by common descent (came from Europe), common history (escaped from religious and political persecutions), the common language (adopted the English language), inhabiting a particular territory - the United States of America. In this example, a revolution was possible in the United States and still remains one after the American revolution of 1776.

Also, the revolution in France became possible because France is not a country, but a nation of French-speaking people united by common descent, history, culture and language. Being a nation, the French revolution of 1789 happened, yet the nation did not split up.

American Revolution (1775-1783); French Revolution (1789-1999); Haitian Revolution by the Yoruba descent (1791-1804); Serbian Revolution (1804-1835); all happened because the people were united by common descent, history, culture and language.

Revolution cannot, therefore, happen in Nigeria because the people do not share common descent, history, culture and language. The Yoruba, the Ibo, the Hausa, the Kanuri, the Ijaw, the Fulani and others have no common descent, history, culture and language. Nigeria is a country of many nations. The worst thing that will happen is another civil war, which will finally break up the country or restructure it back to the regional system.

Whilst no revolution will happen in Nigeria, a revolution is, nevertheless, possible in Yorubaland, Iboland and in the Hausa and Fulani land. These are nations within Nigeria.

The Kiriji war in Yorubaland, which took place in 1878 and lasted for about 16 years, was a revolution in Yorubaland against Ibadan. The revolution was possible because Yorubaland is a nation with a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture and language. After the revolution, Yorubaland still remains one indivisible nation.

It is, therefore, unreasonable for the Yoruba Liberals to be screaming for a revolution in Nigeria. They are acting with the Ibo and Sowore, an Ijaw citizen, to distract the Young Yoruba who desires a return to the regional government or the break up of Nigeria.

Hopefully this gets to the frontpage...

aside from the fact that revolution wont work in Nigeria being a multinational country. i need to add that in this recent attack and counter attacks of different ethnic groups revolution will lead to genocide war except if Hausa/Fulani are the leading factor and fully participate in it, anything from this would be seen as anti Buhari mission that have Sowore a former contestant as the leading voice


pushing for restructuring is the only way to reduce the influence and control the hard hardness of individuals in this country and that 1999 constitution should be scrapped asap while rotation of central government should be in rotation among the 6 geopolitical zones of this country

OfficialAPCNig:

I know it is not possible for a yoruba man to make complete sentence without blaming Ndi Igbo for their inability to satisfy their wife in bed.

Iwofas!!!

imagine this Libya deportee. your kinsman brought us to where we are today. if Nigerian maintained the regional system of govt we won't be in this mess that we are today

so the political misfortune Nigerian nations are going through today most especially southwest is because of you people foolishness in the past

wifeesnatcher:

They are still blaming Ndi Igbo for their misfortune

OP,
Look at "revolution" as two words "re-evolution". The prefix "re" is also found in "re-new".....to make new again. We find it in "re-start"....to begin again.

So re-evolution will be to evolve again! In other words, to kill the old order and begin a new order.

Use this breakdown to "re-assess" your contribution to the effect that a nation of several nations is incapable of "beginning a new order" You will discover your submission contains many flaws.


Grandson is my revolutionary any day!

ode! Igbo are the misfortune here and I'm glad you enjoyed the consequence of that dumb and lack of foresight move by your kinsman in 1970 and 2016 to 2018 respectively


how far with Biafra actualization? dummy everywhere

since u are proud of your moniker publicly, u will still be proud of thoughts u are having inside u privately , u can't grow !!

wifeesnatcher:


can anyone interpret what this dummy is trying to say here? oh my moniker is your headache that means you've to be more worried till eternity


i repeat, Igbo are the misfortune we are all facing politically today. you people imbecility led us to this standstill with the mumu unitary system of govt

nice to know u are suffering from Igbo-menia

Even after 50 years yorubas and their masters are ruling nigeria,they are still blaming Igbos for their inability to build the zoo called nigeria.


And one vulture up is accusing Igbo for destroying regional
system of govt in nigeria,
if you ask him who Ojukwu and Gowon was before the war,he start beating around the bush.

The only thing those vultures from waste know how to do is propagating lies..




As for the Revolution Sowore talking about,
No reasonable Igbo man will join yorubas in any form of revolution,
because if anything happen along the line,yorubas will tag it Igbo revolution then they will join northerns to start killing innocent easterns.

Grandson will forever be that, a "grandson" instead of a wise Grandfather....

A fool at 40 is a fool forever.

IS a return to regional government or secession that revolutionary, especially in today's Nigger Area that has a Fulani-Hausa inbuilt majority ruling?

There is absolutely no way Oduduwa can come without support...That is a fact.

Meanwhile Biafra has been ongoing in rectifying the division in their land and seeking allies abroad, despite the useless and clueless governors and Ameachi's being Niggers that they are, cooning all over the place so their children can get visa to go to schools abroad....

Nigeria has no homogeneous factor to enable any revolution.
The level of nationalism is very low
People see themselves first from an ethnic prism before as Nigerians

Good write up that's a major factors affecting Nigerian which is tribe and secondly try and be putting up your write up without putting any tribe or religion in it.

I always knew dat revolution wont happen ,
Wifesnatcher is right ,and ibos stop attacking grandson ...he mearnt dividing is the only option

Sowore is still making sense pass this Adeyinka

Abi

Rev. Now Now

Let us encourage Sowore to tell us the Final intended outcome of our #RevolutionNow movement. Is it:
~Buhari's exit?
~Atiku's emergence?
~Change of Govt?
~Restructuring?

Let it not be like 'Occupy Nigeria' of 2012 where multitudes of protesters just became Serial Mumus.

It is, therefore, unreasonable for the Yoruba Liberals to be screaming for a revolution in Nigeria. They are acting with the Ibo and Sowore, an Ijaw citizen, to distract the Young Yoruba who desires a return to the regional government or the break up of Nigeria.

This APC supporter have just realised Sowore is an Ijaw man. Was Sowore not an Ijaw man when he helped to bring down the govt of (Ijaw man) Jonathan?

Revolution must happen,let's kill all their cows,they would be too emotionally damaged due to the demise of their wives to fight back

Sowore just wasting his time.

This planned Revolution won't raise a dust.
