The only part I'm fearing about this details about the revolution is the impending chaos that will sweep the nation.
And the leader of the revolution has to keep the nation under control.

Usually, such a person ends up being a dictator.
He has to force everyone to listen to his ideas

This is the case of Fidel Castro in Cuba
The man had same revolution, free my people ideals.
But ended up as a dictator.

I will vote for him comes 2023

I thought some people from a particular region or Nigeria claimed it was purely a Yoruba agenda

Is any of the demands peculiar to Yoruba people.

Bro you choose a wrong time for this campaign, and the #RevolutionNow name have so many misgivings.
Though we know the intent was to bring about social and political change as certain current happening are unacceptable.

But the name gave it away as a coup.

Most of these demands can only be achieved if the constitution is amended. Its the job of the legislature. Lobby the legislature and get what you want. No need for all the chaos.

Lobby the legislature to pass law that won't favour them ( the legislature).

Are you sure how these things work?

I have always respected Sowore despite the smear campaign.

He has proven himself time and again that he's worth fighting beside.

Whenever I read the comments of Nigeria's clueless and semi-literate youths who are yet to know the meaning of life, I develop goosebumps.

Some here are bent on making everything about their lives ethnocentric. Their brain cells have fossilized and no new information can enter. Programmed robots are way more useful than them.

Things you should know about Sowore’s ‘#RevolutionNow’ movement

Youths and facilitators under the auspices of the Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria on Monday, August 4, defied threats of security agencies to hold the ‘Revolution Now’ protest in four states of the country and Abuja

States where the Revolution protests took place are; Lagos, Osun, Ondo and Cross River.

It would be recalled that on Saturday, August 3, the State Security Service arrested the publisher of popular media organisation Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.

The SSS said Sowore was arrested for calling for revolution against the present administration.

Sowore who contested for presidency in the 2019 general election in series of recent video clips decried the governance pattern of the present administration.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police also warned that Revolution Now protesters would be made to face the wrath of the law.

Despite the threats, several Civil Society Organizations (CSO) maintained a ‘no-going-back’ stance despite Sowore being in detention and the warning from police.

The protesters said their demands had been broken down into three phases, each of which contains issues that must be addressed.


The three phases are as follows:

* First phase: End anti-people economic policies

* Second phase: End special privileges for the ruling class

* Third phase: Return political power and national wealth to the working people

First phase – End Anti-People Economic Policies:

* Return of fuel prices and electricity tariffs to their levels in 1999.

* End to estimated and inflated billing by the electricity distribution companies

* No devaluation of the Naira.

* End to the insecurity and constant bloodletting in the country

* Abolition of tuition fees in all public universities and secondary schools.

* Immediate payment of the N30,000 minimum wage

* The immediate release of all political prisoners, including Shi’ite leader Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife

* The immediate payment of all outstanding salaries of workers and pensions of retirees.

Second phase – End Special Privileges for the Ruling Class:

* All public officials must be banned from educating their children in private schools in Nigeria or in schools in foreign countries.

* These officials must be banned also from obtaining healthcare in private hospitals in Nigeria or in hospitals in foreign countries.

* An immediate end to the use of police or military personnel as private security guards for these officials.

* Except for the president and governors, these officials and their immediate family must not live in class-exclusive estates

Third phase – Return Political Power and National Wealth to the Working People:

* The complete and uncompensated repossession by the working people of all national resources stolen by the ruling class

* The complete and uncompensated seizure by the working people of all private wealth accumulated by public officials during and after their tenure of service.

* The complete socialisation of all land in the country and declaration of access to land as a basic right.

* To break the stranglehold of the ruling class on political power by banning from politics all who have stolen the people’s money and property since 1960.

* To reduce the cost of governance by abolishing the Senate, thus establishing a uni-cameral legislature with only the House of Representatives.

* Abolishing the death penalty except for the embezzling or privatisation of the public wealth.

* Producing a new constitution for Nigeria by a democratic and people-led process involving open discussion, debate, and determination of proposals and suggestions by the working people.

I don't know why some old fools (especially the ones that their head looks like a plasma TV )on this site think it's cool to mock this guy ,Y'all say he doesn't have a good propaganda, he shouldn't have branded the whole thing a revolution, but what does that mean exactly? Is it wrong to speak against a lifeless government? You guys chose to throw jibes at him and forget about what he's really fighting for just because no one from your tribe is brave enough to come out and speak against this government of darkness.... Unlike one yellow coward fighting for a Biafra republic that doesn't even exist,he's not fighting for the Yoruba nation alone.... IDIOTS quote me if you want to die untimely

I read the demands of #RevolutionNow protesters below, it is evident they mean well for Nigeria. Unfortunately, the few elites/politicians in and outside government will ensure all their demands never see the light of the day. Is President Buhari's government a blessing to Nigeria or a curse?

ok

This is the case of And Fidel Castro.

But ended up as a dictator.

Fidel castor had to stop the West from highjacking his country. The West will claim they want to give you freedom and democracy, then they highjack your Government.

Please tell me what I should not know in #Revolution now.

This man contested in the last Presidential election and lost woefully but this is not my point. The point is, how many of these his 'lovers' actually voted for him? Instead, I was hearing atikulate and atikuobi all over the place. Now everybody has woken up because his fight is against a Fulani President.
REVOLUTION should also affect the LGAs, state Governors and not just the President which only goes to show that he has an axe to grind with the FG.

NOTE: PLEASE I DID NOT COME HERE TO FIGHT ANYBODY SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ONE YOU CAN GO DOWN BELOW.
THANKS

i agree that i was young when i cause the cases but now i don't take things for granted like i used to not that i am going to change my pattern of freedom fighting but i am trying to tell you that your headlines or slogans are misleading which i think is your original motive. the is no cause for a revolutionary politics because it gets more serious than just saying it. even the short man on diapers that tried it in india the last time got many relatives fried by the British before he was heard. i am talking of Gandhi

namiji2598:
and no government except Nigeria can go extra mile, even shooting at protesters while the youth even defends them

Prove they shot at protesters during the march

fortran12:
Prove they shot at protesters during the march

why the teargas and the arrestor is the shitte protest not a good example for that again?!

That was change of government by vote not by revolution

eneyoduke:
Goodluck did it

foolbuster:
Shut up and read the article. I dont know why you people hate to read. That is why you know nothing.

Shut up too dia. Don't try trading insults here

The self-acclaimed activist/convener of the #RevolutionNow was one of the leading candidates in the just concluded 2019. Prudential election in Nigeria, Having participated in the election & lost, I will like to ask.......

If he had won the presidential election which he contested along other candidates would he had asked for this #RevolutionNow.... Protest against his administration?

Why coming up with it just immediately after the nomination/screening of ministerial designates?

Was he having the hope that he would have been nominated?

Nigerians, especially the youths should be mindful of their association with the so-called present days Activist because they say what they don't mean... & mean what they don't say!

I'm a YOUTH & i make a bold to say that... The present day Nigerian youths were characterized to be highly individualism egoistic, brutish, selfishness, selfcenteredness, satanic, myopism, irrationalism & untrustworthy just to mentioned a few,

The main arrowheads for this Revolutionary movements are not fit & can't be trusted to lead because they have all benefitted from the same government at one point or the other!

Zangazanga:
Karma is a bitch. Sowore enjoy this changi/next level in peace. It won't kill you, it will only make you stronger and wiser.

I think we should forget the past, and stop this he voted him 2015 and so on, what we need now is solution, we should talk about the present and future, also how to move forward.
