STFU!!!

It's everyone's fight struggle

It's a struggle between the political elite class vs the maltreated masses class

It's a struggle between the greedily corrupt v the betrayed humble citizens

It's a struggle between those still stuck in the 1960s v those looking for a brighter future for the nation

It's a struggle that knows no party...no tribe...and no religion

Reason why you won't see any politician currently in power (no matter the party) take side with it

Isn't it part of what your Kanu was fighting for
What then now is the difference...because it's not been spearheaded by Kanu?

the earlier you understand that "United we Stand, Divided we are crushed" ...the better

The #RevolutionNow Organizers have released the 'Rules of Engagement' for Tomorrow's massive protest all over Nigeria.Below is a statement sent to POLITICS NIGERIA by the group;

"The Coalition of Revolution (CORE) seizes this opportunity to call on mass of Nigerians who have shown tired of the suffering in the land and the oppressive system that keeps enriching the rich at the expense of the poor.""It is no gainsaying that the Country has been plunged into crises by bereft leadership who have turned the Country into a ‘business centre’."

"CORE is reiterating all the demands at this hour for proper clarification as usual.""The Police may have to explain to the world how the following listed demands would lead to a violent protest and treasonable felony like the Police PRO, DCP Frank Mba stated in the Force Press Release issued yesterday."

"We understand that this is the crude old trick of the State to create fear in the minds of oppressed to delay their day of freedom.""But it is more glaring this time around that Nigerians have taken their destinies in their hands and are saying Enough is Enough to hardship, insecurity, insurgency, incessant killings, epileptic power supply, disrespect of court orders, blatant abuse of power and office, embarrassing corruption."

DEMANDS
1. An economy that works for all and not a handful of individuals, banks and foreign multi-nationals.

2. An effective and democratic end to insecurity and insurgency.

3. An end to systemic corruption and for total system change in the interest of all.

4. The immediate implementation of the 30,000 naira minimum wage at all levels in the public service as agreed with the trade unions.

5. Education as an enforceable right and not a priviledge.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

1. We eschew all forms of violence. No protester should throw any object as little as stones or attack any security officials.We are aware of their intent to provoke the mass unduly by using undue tactics and sponsored agents, so as to give the protest a bad name.We encourage all Nigerians to remain calm as we are ready to fight these injustices to a logical conclusion.

2. If you would come with water, make sure you come with water ONLY in plastic bottles. We say NO to glass wares.

3. Irrespective of the colour orange recognized as the insignia of the protest, everyone is free to come dressed in ANY colour.

. Revolution that is denied by Hausa's and Igbos but will be championed by a 2019 election loser is an exercise in futurity and dead on arrival.It is a threat to government and nothing but sedition by implication...Many people will rot in jail as from today and the government will continue.

Nonsense. Hope the Organizers also take full responsibility for any loss of lives and destruction of properties.

Or they just roll the dice on Anarchy, absorb themselves through this statement, unleash mayhem and see much damage can occur?

Any muumu that loses his life over this ill-conceived rampage will have him or herself to blame.

A word is enough for the wise.

That's the problem, nobody wan die lool.On the flipside, when I look all through history to study countries that transitioned from an authoritarian rule, corrupt democracy, tyranny, feudalism etc. There were loss of lifvws because the monied elite won't give up their connections, privilege, shady deals, nepotism for nothing.

Is it a coincidence that Sowore wants a revolution just after the ministerial list was released and he didn't make the cut?
Have you asked yourself why Yele Sowore of all people refused to file an election petition despite the flawed 2019 Presidential elections.

Have you wondered why this same person who congratulated Buhari after the elections saying it was a deserved free win then all of a sudden wants to protest again his government?

After using innocent heads to do cannon fodder, the organisers will go and settle with FG and rake in billions. Like militant leaders did.
Re: 'Revolution Now' Organizers Release 'Rules Of Engagement' For Protest by contigiency(m): 6:30am On Aug 05, 2019
This is just a mere window dressing. If not that the fake activist Sowore was arrested I could have bet you that this would not have been the case. After all the man sowore had earlier said that their mission was to uproot buhari from power. So who are there deceiving with this statement.

Even my mother in the village knows very well that this statement is not revolution. You can't say you want to do a particular thing and end up doing another thing and expect people to take you seriously.

More so, I pity those gullible ones who will join this charade. Reason is that majority of Nigerians recently rejected this sowore of a person and all that he stands for at the polls. So how can he come to force his ways to us under the guise of revolution.
Re: 'Revolution Now' Organizers Release 'Rules Of Engagement' For Protest by Reference(m): 6:43am On Aug 05, 2019
Nigerians enjoy their suffering. Just look at the responses before. Not one addresses the issues necessitating the protest. Everyone appears satisfied with the way this country goes. And will not only do nothing to change the status quo but will roll out obstacles to those who dare.

Abeg, our mumu don do.
Sowore you can and will never fool NwaAmaikpe.
You can't tell the world that Buhari was credibly elected by the people and still incite the same people to revolt against his government.
That is pure two-faced hypocrisy.

I will never endorse a Nigerian revolution spearheaded by an insincere New Yorker.
Shame on you! if you're not in support of the protests, why discredit it. if not for anything the treatment of Nigerians by this Government is inhumane, democracy has been bastardized, our judiciary has been reduced to nothing and police brutality is becoming a norm. At this rate where do you see this country at in 10years?

Its actually the dumbest thing Buhari has done in the last five years!
Why not just allow hiim to "vent and get spent" instead of making him even more popular?

Why portray your Govt as a despotic Dictatorship?
Why provide a unifying and rallying point for those who are already calling you "Grand Cluelessness", going by what is going on?

And why do these at a time why the Shiite, Boko haram, the whole Southern Nigeria are all againt this your RUGA and Fulanisation agenda?

Honestly, you can say Buhari is honest and Mr. integrity but please dont ever say he is intelligent or his "cabal" are intelligent.


I love your comments but I don't really like to dabble into political discourse. I wasn't particularly impressed with how the DSS interpreted the intentions of the 'proposed protest'. Even if the word 'revolution' wasn't used, there was going to be some other reasons for Sowore's arrest.

You are all in for bashing this government at any slight chance but dont want to take a stand? Why?

Or are you in support of these 1960 men that keep recycling our resources within their families.. Just take a look at that ministerial list.. Does that list even look like something Buhari took 3 months to think about?

I don't know your true stance on this issue but I do know that we are stronger united than divided, if you don't want to partake fine, leave it to those willing to die to help your cause for a better Federation.
