The post is highlighting the efforts of our NiIGERIAN women to their raise heads up in the society and u are specifying yoruba women as if they are the only ones that exist in Nigeria.You deserve a ward in a psychiatric hospital.! I will recommend a day of prayer for u in nairaland!

I am sure of your corruption allegation against Sahara reporters but I know they are almost junk.most of their news are not well researched and they seem to be dancing to the tunes of their pay masters whom I believed are corrupt politicians in Nigeria.
One of their founders I learnt though I cannot confirm it is one Okey Ndibe who I gather from reliable source is Orji Uzo Kalu's boy till today and he has added Chris Ngige to the list of his masters.
That is why he can never criticise either of them.
If you have been following SR you will surely understand a trend in their reporting style.sometimes they don't proof read their work properly before publishing which I find to be unprofessional.
I only read it just for a laugh or just to get breaking news before looking for better sources for details.

This is really pathetic.A US born musician was racially abused at a UK airport.The worst is that the culprit though she is a Nigerian.Probable he is associating the action of the said musician that lead to his outburst to be a Nigerian trait,

Singer Kelis accused Britain of being 'racially decades behind progression'
Kelis has accused Britain of being "racially decades behind progression" after she was allegedly subjected to abuse at an airport because of her skin colour.
Using her Twitter account, the American singer claimed she was accused of queue-jumping by a "red faced sweaty man" who called her a "slave" and "probably a disgusting Nigerian" and told her to call him "Sir".
Kelis said that man labelled her "Kunta Kinte" - the name of a slave in Alex Haley's book Roots - and "ranted and raved some more".
She claimed an official behind the passport desk had laughed, shaken his head and said "Kunta Kinte".
The music star, who did not name the airport, added: "All the while the entire line full of people I just sat on a plane with for almost three hours, over 50 people said nothing. Didn't flinch."
The incident apparently took place as the 32-year-old was travelling home after performing at Bestival on the Isle of Wight.
Kelis tweeted: "I didn't say anything at the time of the riots in London for a lot of reasons. But I am in London all the time and today I'm gonna say that the racial issues in the UK are disgusting. It's racially decades behind progression because everything is swept under the rug. People don't talk about it. People don't fight about it."
She said her own country was "the poster child for racial inequality", but that it was not a secret.
Kelis, whose hits include Milkshake and Caught Out There, claimed she had not lost her temper at the airport because she had her two-year-old son with her.
The UK Border Agency was unavailable for comment.

Like I stated in the preamble for this topic,this is not the time to howl stones at each other.It is this attitude that gives these evil politicians the encouragement to continue to make life miserable for all of us.By all of us I mean including I because I still have relations who are suffering like every other Nigerian back home.The military and the police you are talking about are not happy with the status quo themselves.What do you think have been the reason for military intervention in our politics all these years if you can check the records,apart from few selfish military leaders,most of their reasons have been the inability of the civilian leaders to make meaningful progress in our polity.

Lets not despise these men in uniform.They are well disciplined like every other fighting force in the world and they are suffering themselves.They want that change we seek but we need to make the move.

we need to overcome the collective inertia of tribal and religious differences holding us back.what we need is a single step by everyone of us encouraged by our collective suffering to make a quantum leap we need to move this country away from mass hunger,unemployment and empty promises by these politicians.

Finally I will remind us all "there is a tide in the affairs of men.which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries.on such a full see we are now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures". the Arab spring is yet to die down.we can seize the momentum now the eyes of the world and the stars of heaven are still gazing at our direction and a glorious future we will leave for our children

This is WE against THEM.
May God be with us all

Hello Nigerians,if we want to end our sufferings in this country,we need to act now.History and recent events have shown us that this heartless men and women we have in this country as our leaders cum politicians do not care about us.they keep promising us of a better Nigeria every tenure at the end what we see is more misery.endless years of job search without gd result,roads are getting worse and they dont mind becos they all hv private jets.hospitals are mortuary is nt their concer because they and their family members can travel to the west for the best medical care with our common resources.The standard of our universities cannot compete with a junior high school in Japan or even south africa, while their children are all trained at the best universities around the world.tell me fellow Nigerians, what will motivate these criminals to fix our sick country.They say they cannot pay civil servants mere 18,000 a month,while they earn millions in month for doing what? fighting in the house instead of making laws to shape our future.if u ever believe that these people have u in mind,this is the time to wake up from our collective inertia and act now, read this wonderful article by a fellow Nigerian, download the template used by the Egyptians to defeat their Pharaoh.This is not the time to throw stones at each other becos of our tribe or religion.our common enemies are our leaders.we need to defeat them.Spread the message via all the major social media,tweeter, facebook, bb messenger, all the major Nig job websites.tell ur friends to read this message.TOGETHER WE WILL TELL THEM YOU PHARAOHS LET US GO.


… and now the template. When I published How to Start a Revolution on January 21, 2010 and How to Start a Revolution: Step by Step Guide on February 11, 2010, the former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, was still preparing to hand over power to his son sometime in 2012. The Egyptian people were still resigned to what had looked like an insurmountable fate that befell them.

As I watched the Former Egyptian president on trial two weeks ago, on a hospital bed, caged like a captured lion, it reminded me of that saying we often attribute to Zik that “no condition is permanent.”

I’m particularly impressed that our own Olusegun Obasanjo, who wanted to perpetuate himself in power, found it disgusting that a former president like him was treated in such an undignified way. It tells me that someone like Ibrahim Babangida will also be nauseated by such a treatment of a former president, who was also his friend.

If Nigerians are attentive, that should tell them something about how to discomfort these people who ruined Nigeria. Discomforting them is something we have never succeeded in doing.

This is my theory: Nigeria is a failed nation that works for the very people who failed it. Therefore, they do not have any incentive to make Nigeria a successful nation that works for you and me.

Since those who failed Nigeria have blocked every other possible remedy, those who love Nigeria must work to dismantle the current order – even if it means dismantling the whole edifice. That is the only thing that will compel those who failed Nigeria to reverse course.

And if they don’t, they will all be swept away by the storm.

I recently heard a story of a stark naked woman who entered a taxi. She told the driver the address where she was going. The driver sat there and stared at her. He did not move the car. The woman barked, “Why are you staring at me, haven’t you seen a naked woman before?” The taxi driver said, “It is not that. I’m just wondering where you kept the money with which you will pay me.”

In looking at Nigeria, the bigger question we must ask ourselves is; are we asking the wrong questions? Because “if they can get you asking the wrong questions,” Thomas Pyncho warned, “they don’t have to worry about the answers.”

Every four years, Nigerian politicians make a fool of Nigerian voters. We constantly elect men and women who conduct public affairs solely for private gains. How long shall we repeat that? Is the solution extending the terms of these men and women to six years?

Which way Nigeria? “If you don’t know where you’re going, then any road will take you there.”

Nobody saw what is now called the Arab Spring of Discontent coming. It simply exploded. In it we saw how a small group of committed people can use modern technological tools to gather a critical mass that will turn their societies around.

What was once thought to be hard has now been shown to be fairly simple. It is a question of whether there are committed individuals willing to pledge their fortune and their lives for the good of all.

Even the manual for the revolution has been published on the World Wide Web. In Dr. Gene Sharp’s From Dictatorship to Democracy, now free on the web, http://www.aeinstein.org/organizations/org/FDTD.pdf the revolutionaries of the Arab Spring found strategies they used to topple their governments.
“Dictators are never as strong as they tell you they are,” Dr. Sharp said in an interview. The same way, the people who ruin Nigeria are never as formidable as they pretend to be. For one, we know they will be uncomfortable in a cage facing trial.

Essentially, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. It is now a question of finding men and women willing to take up the challenge.

Thomas Jefferson wrote that, “if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.” Nigerians can be divided into two; those who are ignorant and those who feign ignorance.

There are 469 people in Nigeria’s National Assembly. They get paid over N150 million (about $1million) a year. If that is not enough to get you mad that you want to go and chase them all out of Abuja, I don’t know what would.

The Nigerian government spent $3.2 billion of our money to build Delta Steel Co. That is over N480 billion without factoring in inflation. Later, the same steel company got sold to a company that is a front for Obasanjo for mere $120 million, ie N7.5 billion. Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim bought NICON, valued at N50 billion for N1.05 billion. He used equity in the company to borrow N41 billion from Union Bank PLC. Theophilus Danjuma made $4.5 billion when he sold to a Chinese cooperation 45% share of a company he build around the two oil blocks Gen. Sani Abacha dashed him. He said that after paying taxes and taking care of all he could think of, he had $500 million left. To avoid having his children fight over too much money after he’s dead, he used $100 million to set up a Foundation. Mike Adenugu, Femi Otedola and Aliko Dangote all exhibit the same kind of business ingenuity of bribing and stealing the commonwealth.

Someone in Nigeria knows how many millions each governor takes home as security vote each month. Someone knows how much President Jonathan is worth. Someone knows how much Ibrahim Babangida paid for his Hill Top mansion. Someone knows where Abdulsalaim Abukakar hides his billions. Someone has a copy of the Okigbo Report. Someone knows how much money Enoch Adeboye gets paid each month. Someone knows how much money comes into the coffers of the Winners Chapels each month. Someone knows how much David Mark stashed in foreign banks.

That we have not had a revolution in Nigeria is partly because people who know are not telling. If Nigerians know how really rotten their system is, they will set themselves on fire like Mohamed Bouaziz, the vegetable cart seller in Tunisia whose self-immolation triggered the revolution there.

The only other possible alternative is that Nigerians can guess how bad things are. But they do not care. And the two primary reasons they do not care is because some hope to join in the plundering of what remains as soon as they get a chance, while others are busy praying for God to come down from heaven and fix things in Nigeria.

The few Nigerians outside these two categories are those on the fringe. For them, the Egyptians have published the manual they used for their revolution. You can find it here. It tells you how to protest intelligently. It tells you what to demand. It tells you what should be the strategic demands of the civil disobedience. It gives you steps for carrying out the plan. It tells you even what the necessary clothing and accessories should be. It shows you how to use the accessories and examples of signs to hold up.

The template is cast. The heavy lifting is done. What is left is a little tweaking here and there. Already the call has been made: “Who will go for us?”

The wait is on for men and women willing to say, “Here I am. Send me.”
