Sane, patriotic and intelligent people birthed great Nations. Revolution was just a option on their table.

Dont bring Nigeria close. Its not valid.

Do you think that Nigeria lacks such people....

Even slaves revolted, how about freemen

Revolution would have been better or made sense if only Igbos and yorubas would put aside their differences and be united
Re: History: Revolution Birthed Great Nations by Nobody: 12:00am On Apr 28, 2021
Nigeria should know that the first slave revolution was of igbos extraction

Some even sunk the slave ship with their slave masters on board


We love freedom....and we revolt once you're no longer making sense to us

Even as you see Nnamdi Kanu today..... If a large number of igbos are still listening to him.... It's because he's still getting it right no matter how bad you think it looks.... It's in our subconsciousness to detect when something is going wrong and we revolt immediately

The real power belongs to the people


Even U.S got their independence through revolution/war by the man called George Washington

Are you a Nigerian?

Why are you trying to act like you dont know.

Are you waiting till you see armed counter groups who are Nigerians?

When you have the likes of Igboho and Kanu championing affairs in a manner that is presently being done? What conclusion do you arrive at?

Brilliant people? When the house itself is divided and can de re-divided with influences that can afford what the cost?

Seems you dont know that, despite Nigerians are known to be very clever, they are one of the easiest citizens to distract. Intelligence is not common in country.

You made valid points, but non the less... We all have a common ground now that unites us all and we can use that avenue

I will probably quote you in next one month to ask about the common ground.


I know my people.

I have lived long enough to know that in present day Nigeria, there is not a single credible leader in any corner of the nation that can champion a genuine cause. The last of such leaders became extinct in the 90s

I am in support of revolution,but let me tell you,the worst governor of 1979-83 is better than the best we have since 1999

The former governor of Bendel State (Edo and delta) Late Prof.Ambrose Alli, remained imprisoned because he was unable to pay 100 thousand naira the tribunal alleged he stole. Even if a dollar was equivalent to one naira then,is there a former governor today that is worth less than 5million dollars?

The labour leaders and activists of today are in it for their personal gains. If the revolution succeeds it is going to be change of guards not mindset (ideology)

Nigerians are not yet ready. Let’s hope they will when fuel price becomes N1000 a litre.

A country that begged Uk for independence. Most countries that didn’t fight for independence are all still struggling, 3rd world countries.

You are missing the point even if there is ...we are not united enough to have a revolution ....tribal sentiments would set him

In a united Nigeria buhari would have been forced to resign ...but try it ..if north won't see it as an attack on north

Revolution takes place when certain factors are in place. The most important ones are majority language and population,it is not unity

Check all successful revolution, particularly those with diverse tribes. Atatürk of turkey, Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia, Mao of China and many more. These nations were not United until a true revolutionary leader emerged through the important factors I mentioned.

Don't be in doubt,If a leader with true revolutionary ideals starts from the North, every tribe in this space known as Nigeria will rise in support.

But no factor is as important as unity

People must see themselves as one revolution can't happen because we are a country of different nations
