The Nigerian Police have tried to justify the arrest of Sowore based on the the fact that he used the word 'revolution' in referring to the protest event he is organizing in spite of the fact that he made it clear that there would be no violence. This is why I went and checked the Merriam Webster's Dictionary to see how right they are. Now, see the screenshots and tell us what you think about it lest we err in our judgment of the matter.

Social situation it up to you to choose what it means to you.

My own view is that, out of the four meanings here, only one has the idea of overthrow of government and which would involve violence and Sowore has already said there would be no violence - which means that that is clearly not the one he meant. So, why is the government afraid of the people's protest if they have no skeletons in their cupboards?

"I'm not talking of protest. I'm embarking on revolution. 85% of Nigerians are in support. Don't tell me about legal implications or what a Judge will say. I don't care. We must bundle Buhari out of that place...."

Exhibit C!

I guess you understand what it means to bundle an elected government out of power

Do you have any media support (video, url, etc) for this? I don't mean to argue with you. I mean to learn from you.
