Are u truly ready??

don't mind them,
Nigerians and our affinity for finished products.

There is usually a PROCESS for revolutions which requires extreme levels of selflessness and sacrifice....

nobody wants to go through that process in this country where almost everyone is self centered.

Give sowore a seat in the CABAL and he'll throw everything to the wind......

Oshiomole right now will just be looking at Nigerians like......

Soyinka and Obasanjo are using nigerian to play their dirty game. Jonathan was there doing his job as president, only for this two idiot kick against jonathan that is sleeping. now that they have buhari that is awake two four seven they still want to throw him out. no problem is a game men love to play.But you two should know this, the evil men do live after them, that's your children and grand children. For me jonathan was a living dog while buhari is a dead lion full stop.;

Sowore should have been invited by the relevant security agencies rather than be subjected to a Gestapo style abduction...


It is also interesting that a government that would not tolerate protests against bad governance, oppression & insecurity would seek to please killer herdsmen by giving them lands to settle down ....


Or like a military chief said, give repentant killers in BH chance to run for the highest political office in the land...

Interesting times we live in...

The presidency and their advisers are just being stupid and always eager to tackle anyone who seems to be against them. To me, the Sowore guy is just being smart, that’s his game plan. He knows they are stupid and would want to arrest him, to me, he’s ready for the arrest. He just want them to sell him(promote his political ambition) now watch as people will start to find out who Sowore is even those that doesn’t know him before and see how he would garner support.
A clueless leader is so unfortunate to work with daft advisers.

One thing i'm very optimistic about the RevolutionNow is that this non violent agitation and call for reform by Sowore, is an avenue for the shiites, IMN and other muslim weaponize organization to hijack the aim of this calls and turn it to blood bathing anarchy that will culminate to another robust joint yoruba and other region terroist forces, the timing for this 5 August stuff is absolutely accidental and coincidental that may pragmatically be spelling out mayhem to the common Nigeria and quagmiring government activites towards a free and fast run of shenanigans activites

So Prof is just realizing there's no difference between Buhari & Abacha, you've just woken up sir; good morning!

When I see apparently brainless/brainwashed youths defending Buhari, I know that Nigerians have not suffered enough, they are just pretending to be suffering.

Some have not stepped out of Naija before and have no idea of what a working system means but for those who actually know the difference between Hell and Heaven but still defend the Devil, WEH DON SIRRSS

Have you noticed the rate of suicides in the last 4 years alone, when you sum all the suicides since 1960 till 2015 is not up to the one witness under kwaraption fighting General.
The following are some of the cause (remember just some of them)

1. Youths out of school, no job no form of social welfare.

2. Even those aged/retired workers don't get the entitlements and end up collapsing on queues.

3. Some youths resort to Yahoo, you arrest & jail them.

4. Some kidnapping, you arrest them.

5. Others learn digital skills and freelance, you harass them, check their phones on the road everywhere. You force them to pay before they are released. Those who know their rights and refused, you tag armed robber/Yahoo boys and parade them on TV.

6. Those who found solution in Sniper, you banned it. Unfortunately you cannot drain the lagoon under 3rd mainland bridge.

7. Thse who learned welding, barbing, fashion design, no light for them to work. Those that have light make 12k at the end of month but get NEPA bill of 15k, LIRS and FIRS are smiling at them waiting for their pound of flesh.
(I heard somebody said even local govt council)

8. Some are happy to receive 30k every month without doing anything meaningful, postponing their doomsday. I cry for them but they are laughing at me.

9. Runs girl everywhere. Ass galore. The most rewarding one is even being aired on TV 24 hrs. You needed to see the number of people that applied (some even died in the process). They said get rich or die trying...

10. I can't type again my hand is aching plus I've got work to do.

Good luck to the lazy youths who will still abuse me for this. The excuse is that PDP 16 years caused it. May God help you.

The people rejoice when the good king reigns but when the evil comes to power? ...you already now the answer. Proverbs 29:2

Prof, you cannot say ''Beyond the word''.

That word, Revolution, means forcible overthrow of the government. It is an important word.

Why should an elected govt stand for that?
Any elected Govt. that has lost it's legitimacy can be subjected to any form of forcible overthrow.

Buhari must be overthrown by any means necessary .

Long story! I'm sure if they held another election today, many föols would still campaign and vote for the dullard and despot and he would win. Nigeria is a lost case. Many of the idiots complaining and joining the RevolutionNow still put Buhari there. Atiku na thief, Atiku na thief. Let's enjoy #NextLevel because it hasn't even begun yet. undecided

Nigerians are tired of this unhealthy governance,prolong quietness had led us to this disgusting dungeon.
We need to exercise our human rights,we can't continue witnessing this unbearable suffering from these devilish and egocentric leaders.they should stop eating up our future,they should stop expecting any positive changes from us... Effective change comes from the top leaders down to the followers not vice versa.I'm just pained that Nigeria is not a nation,revolution works drastically in a nation not a country.

History doesn't lie bro. These are the kind of elders we've got in Nigeria. Prof of all people should have known Buhari better than this in 2015. His outright and unhidden hatred for GEJ back then blindly portrayed Bubu a saint to him, the same saint he's now calling his acts of righteousness to question today.
Nigeria is just a joke with bunch of jokers as elder statesmen.
Re: Wole Soyinka Reacts To Sowore’s Arrest: 'Buhari’s Govt Behaving Like Abacha’s' by shakuroau: 11:06am On Aug 05, 2019
Why do people quote others wrongly.

Soyinka compared Buhari to Jonathan here....not to sowore. Also, using the word “better” speaks volume. Bomb may be better than an inferno but we pick bomb when the other option is inferno.

GrabHisBalls:
The phrase 'Beyond the word Revolution' is a continuation of a sentence you missed.

Let me help here...

Deployment of alarmist expressions such as "treason", "anarchist", "public excitement", etc by security forces have become so predictable and banal that they have become meaningless beyond the word 'revolution'. Another misused and misunderstood word.

This ghel go skool jare. See humility in correction. God blex yhu dear.

God is wonderful, God is great. Buhari is an anointed president just like king Saul in the bible, so therefore when God is tired of buhari he will take him out.

“Beyond the word ‘revolution, another much mis-used and misunderstood word, nothing that Sowore has uttered, written, or advocated suggests that he is embarking on, or urging the public to engage in a forceful overthrow of government,” Mr Soyinka said.

SO IT'S THE SAME BIG ENGLISH LANGUAGE THEY NORMALLY USE TO CONFUSE WE THE MASSES WHENEVER THEY WANT TO TELL US LIES OR T FIGHT THEIR OPPOSITION, IT'S NOW CAUSING CONFUSION NOW BECAUSE MR PRESIDENT AND HIS CABAL DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WORD "REVOLUTION"
