Sowore's call to revolution is as stupid as it sounds. Revolt at what? The presidency which Sowore contested and lost woefully few months ago? The NASS elected by Nigerians to represent their varied interests? Or the Judiciary, which interprets the law and arbitrates conflicts between the people and the government?

We are in 2019, not 1959 when the likes of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and co. would chant "freedom for the masses" to deceive gullible citizens and topple elected governments, only to begin oppressing the same citizens through petty dictatorships they call socialism. .

African and Arab revolutionaries are even worse. Once in power, they play ethnic politics, loot the national treasury and resist all attempts at nurturing democracy. It takes another revolution - or death - to remove them from office. The inevitable aftermath is chaos, as we now see in DR Congo after Mobutu, Libya after Gaddafi and Somalia after Siad Barre. .

So, no thanks to Sowore's revolution. There are two legal ways of removing a government: through impeachment by the national assembly, and at the ballot box during elections. Any other way is invitation to chaos. Ask the Syrians, who revolted against Bashar Assad and ended up with ISIS. Ask the Libyans who have lacked a government since 2011.
