The American Revolution the last half of the 18th century
The French Revolution of 1789
The Russian Revolution of 1917
The English Revolution 1640-1660
The German Revolution (German: Novemberrevolution) lasted from November 1918 until the formal establishment of the Weimar Republic in August 1919.
The word revolution has become a bad word. The moment some people set their eyes on the word or their ears pick up the word, the image that forms in their minds is evil. But indeed revolution is an event that is supposed to bring about drastic, lasting and valuable change in social, political and economical life of people.

We can mention the American revolution, French revolution, Industrial revolution and some other revolutions that needed to erupt to add pleasant colour to man's life. So revolutions represent the good and beautiful.
Ghana has seen two significant revolutions. And these revolutions have brought remarkable changes to the land.

Kwame Nkrumah's revolution ended for us and indeed Africa's bondage and oppression imposed by the British. Jerry John Rawlings' revolution has made coup unpopular and has helped implant multi-party democracy in Ghana. We have become the envy of other countries. We cannot wait for another revolution. It should be here with us.

After over 50 years of political independence, it makes pure sense today to call for Economic Independence Now (EIN). We deserve a revolution of Golden Age of Economics. We have been called upon to do away with our poverty mentality. But without Economic independence, we cannot heed to this call because the reality is that majority of us are poor, hopeless and helpless.

THISDAY NEWS PAPER  10/07/2009 REPORTS Nigeria Sliding into One-party State, Opposition Parties Tell Obama in a private letter. Watin Obama fit do in that regard? Who is fooling who, FG, PDP, Senate, PDP,National House, PDP, EFCC, PDP, Police, PDP, NEPA, PDP, NNPC, PDP, Judiciary, PDP, MTN, PDP. In the history of democracy, Violent revolution is always inevitable, but let ours not be ,  Read Moreviolent but rather INTELLECTUAL REVOLUTION! Calling on you the patriotic youths of 9ja awake and create a future for D generation of PDP have failed in great extent hence, no future with them.

Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has written a private letter to him (Obama), noting that the country is sliding towards one party state.
CNPP also said corruption and election rigging are undermining the growth of democracy and democratic institutions in Nigeria.
This is coming as the Action Congress (AC) said Nigeria ought to have been the first African country to be visited by Obama.
In a letter to Obama, titled, “Corruption Undermines Democracy in Nigeria, Electoral Reform and Halliburton as Case Study,” made avalaible to THISDAY, CNPP Chairman, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, said, “may we also use this opportunity to inform you that democracy in Nigeria is fast sliding into one party state, consequently quasi-dictatorship.The tragedy in Nigeria is that both our oil industry and electoral process are highly corrupted.
”“The most potent force undermining democracy in Nigeria is corruption, hence we recognise that fighting corruption is fundamentally in the interest of our dear country’s democracy and development programmes.
For this, we call on friends of Nigeria, like the United States of America, not to stand aloof while Nigeria is on the cliff hanger. “We are witnesses to how our golden oil age was and is being squandered, to the extent that the day alternative energy source is found as your administration is advocating, Nigerians will have no concrete infrastructural development to fall back on.” CNPP noted.
CNPP said it is regrettable to note that as Nigeria moves towards the 2011 general elections, “the high hopes raised during the inauguration of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, to embark on genuine electoral reform is fading.
