PoliticsCan We Have A Revolution In Nigeria ? by cindybella101(op): 10:32am On Jul 02, 2016
Please care to read through this article cause I can assure you its worth your time. Ignore any typo error as am bound to make mistakes thanks.


Nigeria is a vast country with over 250 distinct ethnic groups, by October we will clocking 56yrs of our corporate existence as a nation but the fact remains we are not really a nation in the sense that we(citizens) are always are each others neck caused by tribalism, religious bigotry and nepotism and I begin to wonder were we all got it wrong as a nation or could it be that the white men left us too early or maybe the black man is truly cursed as seen in our everyday dealings. I started to pen down this article this morning when I was researching the prospect of furthering my education in Ghana but was enraged when I saw that our dear naira is even no where near the cedi, where 1ghc = #72 and I begins to ponder were we got it wrong as a nation but I couldn't ascertain. If I decide to throw this as an open-ended question, we will start attacking each other with each tribe blaming one another forgetting our problem is not tribal. That we don't have stable electricity, food, good roads, water is not caused by any tribe.

Before election we see our politicians cutting ponmo, frying akara, eating corn, drinking #20 satchet Milo, telling us they have no shoes, but after election what do the masses get in return ? Absolutely nothing, they loot our common wealth with impunity and throw crumbs to us while we keep on singing their praise cause maybe they are from our tribe, religion or party. I can go on and on but I don't want to make this article longer than necessary . How can I be a patriotic citizen of Nigeria when Nigeria as an entity have done virtually nothing for me as citizen, no light, no water, bad roads and a very bad economy.

After pondering for a while on how to get Nigeria to be the giant of Africa it claimed to be, I concluded that what we might need is PATRIOTIC REVOLUTION ! Yes I mean patriotic revolution drawn from the different tribes of Nigeria were we will all stamp our feet on the ground and say enough is enough and demand our right in this country.

Please this thread should not be a tribal bashing thread because our problem is not tribal or religious but our egoist elites feeding off our ignorance. The Igbo's are quick to blame the Yoruba's not knowing that the average Yoruba man in the street if Lagos, Ibadan and osun is not praying for his downfall, Same as the Yoruba's blaming the Igbo's forgetting that the average Igbo man in the street of Onitsha, aba, Enugu is suffering the same fate as him, not praying for his downfall and not his problem. So is revolution what we need right now or are we even lazy to start a revolution ??

I think cattles should be completely banned in Benue, plateau, Ebonyi atleast. They are our food baskets states and the FG shld be able to ban cattles there if it can think of creating reserve areas for cows.
Lol, you can't ban cattle's, what needs to be banned is the nomadic nature of the herdsmen with their cattle's atleast we still eat meat, they should rather embrace private ranching. Or will you feel happy when your eat your mother/wife jollof rice without meat or imagine egusi soup or banga soup without beef ? cool My dad will tell you to finish it yourself cheesy

thomasthomas:
That's very good of you! I also sympathise with the farmers that are affected by the herdsmen. When Nigeria faces an issue I always want the issue to be tackled without politicising it.

The activities of the herdsmen affect food supply and so should be curtailed! But that's not withstanding other states and not producing as enough food as they should. Benue is the food basket of the nation. What are other states doing? The issue will soon be resolved as so everyone needs to be industrious else we will keep crying for food to eat while we have a fertile land uncultivated.
There are many states that are doing well in terns of agriculture, states like Benue, taraba, nasarawa, Ebonyi, anambra, bauchi, osun and Ogun e.t.c they just need to be empowered by their respective government and watch as we stop complaining of high cost of food. Our overdependence one oil has taken away most of the sense of our politicians, they are only concerned on how to share the oil money. And lastly, about your post, the activities of those murderous herdsmen does not hamper food supply rather it deals negatively with food production cos nobody is producing/planting anything talk more of supplying.

Shalom cool

thomasthomas:
Why can't everybody be a farmer in Nigeria? It's not an impossibility tho. You don't need a large farm to be a farmer. You can plant waterleaf around the house even in containers.

Besides you can't use one event to generalise, Nigeria has 36 states plus FCT so if we are having problems now with one state how about the other 35? Also Benue has other LGAs that are not affected. Do we have herdsmen destroying farms too in those states and LGAs? Wired fence is not too expensive to build for around your farm to keep animals away.

To escape hunger is not through blame, everyone needs to work hard and be industrious.

I still say again, blame is a lazy man's game!
I use Benue state as an example or you don't read in the news how many states the murderous herdsmen use to attack ? In my family we don't buy bitter leaf or chicken cos we have a farm and poultry that meet our immediate needs so at least I am a bit industrious cool and once again I am still saying in a country everybody cannot be a farmer. The destruction of farmlands for cow grazing is a major problem. If you go to Benue(using it as example cos I have lived there) many people don't go to farm again cos of fear, just as their governor was complaining last month how they destroy his large rice farm and olu falea also complained of how they killed his farm guard and destroy part of his farm so can't you its a major problem. When I was schooling in Benue state(last three years) the big tubers of yam and potatoes I bought l couldn't finish for a full two semesters cos they are very big and very cheap, now go back to the same Benue state now and see them selling a yam they would have normally sold at #1000 selling for #2500 can you see now that the activities of the murderous herdsmen is a major problem ?

thomasthomas:
I don't think you have a farm that's why you want to politicise it, and if you do, that issue is being looked at but what happens when the herdsmen stop destroying the farms is what will prove how industrious you are!

Blame is a lazy man's game be careful!
Everybody in Nigeria cannot be a farmer or own a farm and secondly there is nothing to politicize here cos you can't tell me the activities of the murderous herdsmen is not affecting our farm produce. Go to Benue state and see how cows destroy peoples farm produce and you are here talking about industrious, how can you tell someone to be industrious when the few that are industrious are being killed on a daily basis ? You can't compare our last year farm production to thus year can you ? So now think about it and tell me the cause of the scarcity in a space of less than one year. Thanks

The market women in Bodija market(Ibadan) sweat for those things they wear. They dont have corruption charges on their backs, they were not oil ministers when oil sold for the highest and money started growing wings.

Do not insult Ibadan women, they might sound/look razz but they have honor and pride in not having their names smeared in thievery.

Madam, they wear gold yes, but they also have honor.
And she didn't sweat for what she has ? And when does having someone's name on corruption charges makes him/her guilty ? Your are both the prosecutor and the judge and who told you she doesn't have honor ? If she doesn't have honor would she have being recognize even at international level ?
