Great/Successful revolutions are either done by the Army (who can in their small numbers) or the Middle-Class (who can in their large numbers)

Successive regimes in Nigeria have ensured that the Middle-class is never larger than a quarter of the Poor, you will never have a revolution in Nigeria as the ones who can are conveniently bribed with Oil Blocs and juicy contracts or facing sack in numerous Bank branches across the country

During the Dying President Yar,adua Saga, the same GEJ approved $2billion to all Governors in the name "Poverty Alleviation" now begging for $3 billoin

[quote author=Frank-C]The number of people that don't like Morsi in Egypt, are they more than the number of people that don't like Cameron in UK or Obama in US of Netanyahu in Isreal? Do they have less number of youths in their fold? The important question is why are they not in the streets? Was there no jubilation on Nigerian streets the day Abacha took over government? Some of you need to really think before you type stuff like this!![/quote]People get tired of Governments that do not do what is equally beneficial to all. yes there are sacrifices to be made but if the ends do not justify the means, the continued existence of such a regime short-circuits economic development, creates social imbalance (with all its ethnic and religious tones) like past/present t regimes in Nigeria are doing.

There is a reason why millions of Brazilians took to the Streets, Why Tunisians are having problems with their youths and why the young Egyptians can do what they did. it is something you have left out of your analysis (perhaps unintentionally)

Middle-Class Empowerment,Brazil used to be in dire straits until their Economy turned around and at least 50million Brazilians got better improvement in not just their income but infrastructure and opportunities, yes they still have poor people but you have the voice of +50 million truly middle-class citizens who can really tip the scales which ever way they choose.

Nigeria does not have nearly a quarter of 50 million middle-class citizens, you can bet we have that much in unemployed, angry youths. anger does not move any Government neither will poor disfranchised youths.

Victor Hugo once said "He who opens a school door, closes a prison.", i am all in

Pleasantly surprised. nice post

[quote author=Frank-C]Too many kids running around the block. Nigerian government foreign policy has been very solid, consistent and more ideologically driven lately. Nigeria has had a very bitter experience of military rule. Most Nigerians (apart from few CPC/ACN people) believe that the worst civilian government is better than the best military government.

Nigeria is an acclaimed regional power. A power house that is fast translating her potentials to reality. African biggest democracy and home to more than 250 black african ethnic nationalities who coexist side by side amidst mind boggling contradictions. Home to strong but professional military and a fast maturing democracy.

You can quote me, no voice on the continent is stronger on this issue than Nigeria's. Only ACN/CPC touts and few illiterates will link this strategic foreign policy position to a terribly unlikely similar event in Nigeria or to local party politics, I will not be surprised if some of them even link it to Amaechi because that is all their little mind can see. Which normal human being will expect Nigerian government to remain silent on the happenings in Egypt (your strong ally during your difficult period of civil war), nor even expect the government to support military intervention in civilian politics. Morsi may represent something reprehensible, I personally don't like any political party that espouse religious ideology but he was chosen by majority of Egyptian people for a time limited tenure. Egyptians should learn to strenghten their democratic institutions to impeach the guy but not remove him by street protests and military intervention. Besides, no government fixes a country after one year in office. Rolling out tanks in the street of Egypt just betrays the weakness of Egyptian democratic institutions.

You will notice well reasoned foreign policy position from this government. Ranging from Mali to Libya and now Egypt. There seem to be robust debate in the 'war room' before a position is taken and we have never been proven wrong. Actually, South Africa lost her leadership role in Africa to Nigeria because of the way we have conducted our foreign policy. Not that I expect children to understand this, but I know that GEJ and Ashiru are doing something right.[/quote]Please quote one Foreign Policy Position besides Provisioning of UN Peace-Keepers, that Nigeria has a consistent history on

The devil dicked with your peepee!! that is weak mon, at least he could have cut it off completely! i have to report this to ogaga, his oga at the top is getting slack these days

andrewza: depends on the crisis

Please elaborate.. crisis.. like Boko Haram?

OJB and I are serving a God that fetches Water
with Basket Just to disgrace the Bucket.

Did you say God donated.. OMG!! what currency,

Sky Blue: Depends. For the most part I would say yes, let countries handle their issues themselves because I believe in respecting sovereignty. When the mass population is under threath by their leaders then I think indirect intervention might be justified. On the other hand, Africa is not Europe and most countries in sub Saharan Africa are simply colonial constructs. I believe such issue needs to be taken into consideration because as a result of how such nations came to be, ideals such as unity and nationhood are not inherent, as a result it is sometimes difficult to get a unified or clear voice or even a consensus from such a populace as to what they actually want. As a result I believe in the pan africanist ideal but only to a certain degree. I am all for a stronger ECOWAS but don't care much for the AU and believe in African bodies like ECOWAS disciplining governments of member states when the situation calls for it (e.g Ivory Coast) as a means of settling disputes. West Africans are different from East or South Africans.

The Past 4 decades show-casing the deadly reign of genocides on Africans (By Africans) and the clearly impotent role of the African Union shows that we need external assistance..

Mr Troll: your proof that all scripture is inspired by god is found where? Inside the same scripture. Ok. I'm done with you...

Don't you know, the Bible Scripture validates itself with.. itself no better lock.stock.barrel approach to validating scripture

Ola one: We need to ask Eko Ile.

why the interest in who becomes governor of Lagos State, we should be interested (concerned) about institutions that ensure good governance is supported from the roots to the tree top(awon council officers, LG chairmen, commissioners, Governors etc)
If she has good antecedents and Lagosians really worry about Good Governance, they will vote her in, otherwise it is Muiz Banire...

wiegraf: You're beginning to veer into foolishness..

Not foolishness. the rise in the levels of testosterones in his body has caused the usual surge in excitement. carry on

Why are these 419ners not attempting to impersonate CHARLY BOY

Msssssssschewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww *coughs*

Sam xiu lee: what has boko haram got to do with this brazen daylight robbery?if its an association are they not at liberty to join or not?there is nothing traditional in iyaloja and babaloja collecting fees from market woman,at best they act as liaison officers to the court of the King where they reports to the Iyalode,not even to the King directly.

All I am saying is these acts and similar perpetrated by locals and supported by LASG is simply a necessary evil that must be managed, the more you struggle with it, the tighter the noose gets. na just manage, resistance is futile (not worth the energy nor time better used for business)

If it is a Constitutional Institution, then we must respect its Authority and abide by its instructs.. if it is a Traditional/Ceremonial Instituiton, (we must for the sake of Peace and Diplomacy) manage the situation unless you want to cut your losses and deal with Boko-Haram up North.
Only contention there is this, what Real impact do these Traditional agents have on the local economy of the State. Is there no legally constituted authority (LAWMA, MOE) dealing with this?

yomifowe: Hi everyone. I am going for my interview next wk. When I am asked 'may i have your documents pls?', can i add my company's introduction letter? Pls reply.

I wonder if prayers really work as advertised on Nairaland this dude needs N7 million. i think we should institute a Nairaland Fund for those in dire need rather than pray about it and go to church to tithe 10% of our hard-earned income

fixmykey: Islamic Genocide of Christians in Iraq.

YET THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS IN ROME AND BRAZIL AND NO BODY KILLS THEM.

That is because they are still in the dark ages where FEAR, INTIMIDATION, CRUDE VIOLENCE AND ISOLATION is the only language used in bitter discussions

A word for the wise.. do not F%#@k with ISLAM or it is OFF with your Head

mcfynest: Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

He certainly has childish and immature thoughts in the worst cases... an average thinking joe at best. but who am I to argue, my thoughts are simply human
