Dear Nigerians, there is no better time than now for us Nigerians to begin to take our own destinies into our hands. To be successful at this, we must use every tool at our disposal to a great advantage.

YOU saw how Nigerians called for Buratai and co to be arraigned and today, we're reading that they have been arraigned. What does that tell us? It tells us how much power we have as Nigerians if only we are willing to use our power.

Yes, YOU need to know that YOUR VOICE has power - I mean, YOU as an individual.

Do you know what that means? Among other things, it means that, if Nigeria is not working well, YOU share much of the blame? For instance, if YOU joined in calling for Buratai to be arraigned and now he is to be arraigned, it means YOU could have joined in calling for Muhammadu Buhari to be arraigned for ousting the will of the people in his 1983 Coup. Surely, this way, YOU could have just been a formidable force in helping to prevent this horrible Buhari Second Coming.

So, let us learn to contribute our voices. For instance, since Buhari is still covered by the strange immunity of his office, why can't we ask for Obasanjo and his military actors in the Odi and Zakibiam massacres to be brought to book for example? Or, why can't we ask the IBB Government to account for some deaths while he held sway - like Dele Giwa's mysterious death? Or, ask Peter Obi Government in Anambra to account for the accusation about the Ezu River corpses?

At least, if we succeed in doing this, OUR FUTURE LEADERS WILL BE CAREFUL TO NOT INFRINGE ON THE SACRED RIGHT TO LIFE OF OUR CHILDREN YET Unborn.

Even the scriptures say that "a good man leaves an inheritance for his children". Know this: THIS INHERITANCE IS NOT JUST ABOUT MONEY OR LANDED PROPERTY. NO. INSTEAD, IT CAN ALSO MEAN OUR INHERITANCE OF A PEACEFUL LIFE.

I'm trying to get some instant data here to help support a cause to bring some of our past governments to book for the innocent lives wasted over the years. You see, BLACK LIVES MATTER also in Africa.

So, kindly vote: Do you want any past administration of Government in Nigeria to be arraigned the Yakubu Gowon, Buhari, OBJ or any other past Nigerian governments to be arraigned at the ICC?

Answer 'yes' or 'no'.

Please, also comment the NAME of the past administrations of the Nigerian Government that you MOSTLY want probed by the ICC. You can also include WHY you want the administration in question probed by relevant international authorities.

Let's stop this self-destructive habit of supposing that some people are really above us in value and so, in law. It is the BIGGEST reason why our leaders don't respect us their MASTERS - which is exactly what we are supposed to be in a democracy (ie. The PEOPLE'S government, not MILITARY VETERANS government as it is now).

EDIT: I have edited this post to address some objections raised by commenters.

This is an opportunity to help bring on a positive future to YOUR OWN children and children's children.

So, kindly vote: Do you want the Obasanjo Government to be arranged at the ICC also?

Comment 'yes' or 'no'

let's make it Peter Obi n obj,the awkuzu case comes to mind

Yeye people!!

Yeye abokiii. What of IBB the grand Patron of corruption in Nigeria??
What of GEN Abdulsallam that stole our FOREX?
What of the 99% of Looters who are mainly Hausafulanikanuri Muslims of the Northern region that looted Nigeria since 1960??
Of course stealing Govt money is actually not a Sin in Islam once Zakat is paid on them all

Eventually, one case will lead to another. It's called the domino tactic and it's part of the social engineering path we are taking - just as the Buratai case is bringing up the Obasanjo case. It will show clearly that no one was initially out to witch-hunt them. Rather, time comes when the forces of history must lead to huge changes in the social structure.

Meanwhile, remember, YOUR VOICE is needed here. So, please, cast your vote.

TooMuchStuff, I hope you read the quote post. In addition, I you and others like you to, PLEASE, understand that the two enemy camps in Nigeria are NOT North and South, NOT Christianity and Islam, NOT APC and PDP, but the powerful and the powerless. Look at the number of people killed by the herder militia and see. They kill, maim and rape Northerners and Southerners, Christians and Muslims, APC and PDP members. But it is almost always these bourgeoisie who are never attacked.

So, please chill, we're getting to all. But we must start from someone. We're using the domino tactic.
