A noted Nigerian activist, Roz Ben Okagbue, has descended on River State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, over his call that the people of Rivers state should be ready to spill blood for the revolution that he alleges is coming.

Speaking while hosting leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who had paid him a visit to lobby him to join their party, an excited Amaechi said "They are so desperate that they have gone to hire Commissioner Mbu as the military wing of the PDP. One thing you should know is that the police will come after you. The only way to stop them is the people’s power. When you hear of impunity, It’s because you allow it. When you hear that Amaechi is courageous, it’s because I take risk. You must come out when we ask you to do so. There is no revolution without blood".

But Ben Okagbue, who is a renowned activists and notaed progressive said in response to Amaechi's call "So these politicians honestly believe that on their behalf the innocent citizens of Nigeria will hit the streets and shed their own blood? On what grounds? What have they done for us lately? Have they used our money to build state of the art hospitals so our people stop going to India to die? Have they built and equipped schools and universities so that we stop sending our children to Ghana for a sound education? Is it not the same Amaechi who found enough funds to buy and fly ...around in a private jet? On what grounds are we coming out to revolt for them? And whose blood should be spilt may I ask?

Let them line up their sons and daughters and have them killed first. After that they can line up the people they gave contracts to. if the are looking for who to use for blood sacrifice, they should know that charity begins at home!

How many of these G7 Northern governors in question brought money to compensate the BH victims? What did even Amaechi himself do when Obassanjo and Yar'adua's govts were bombing his people? Now they are looking for innocent blood to spill. Look at Anambra state where innocent people were killed in a stampede. Peter Obi is busy investigating? Investigating what? Was he not there? Those poor people have died in vain yet the politicians did not stop their campaign and bickering for one second!

Enough is enough! Anyone who steps on the streets on the account of these theiving politicians must be completely stupid. If and when we are ready to revolt, we know who will call us. Most certainly not serving governors simply because they are out of favour. They are all dancing naked in the market square....we shall continue watching like it's a movie!

Ugom38: okagbue said it all, the truth and nothing but the truth

SLIDE waxie: the problem i av with the so called educated in ur part of the world is their chronic backwardness wen it comes to simple reasoning!

The statement is quite simple, quite popular and so true whenever revolution is mentioned in this world!

There is no true revolution without blood. This, we so lacked in Nigeria that we just accept whatever poo these id!iots pushes to us as food.

The revolution we are talking abt is not as collecting a dollar to throw stones and claim u are rejecting injustice!

Usbeel: bandol why are you doing this? You can't ruin his feature! You can't, Gov. Amaechi say: “They are so desperate that they have gone to hire Commissioner Mbu as the military wing of the PDP. One thing you should know is that the police will come after you. The only way to stop them is the people’s power. When you hear of impunity, It’s because you allow it. When you hear that Amaechi is courageous, it’s because I take risk. You must come out when we ask you to do so. [size=13pt]There is no revolution without blood. The only revolution without blood is reform."[/size]
“Anyday they are ready for a debate, I’m ready. I call them thieves, let them reply me."
“To our APC guests, I like to say we are a group of seven governors. In that group, I’m perculiar because the president is from our zone. So regarding your invitation, I will consult our leaders, I will consult my party, I will consult even the president. He is from our zone. I will consult all the consultables!"
“But the day we will take a decision, it will be at that our new stadium. It has the capacity to take 40,000 people. Tinubu, and the president (refers to #Buhari ) will address 40,000 people. So we need to go out and continue to grow our number."
“They have money, they have the police, they have the army. The only thing we have is our people." And you refuse to complete the sentence! Why? O you think that can save PDP??

Dpeacemaker101: Amaechi is a dreamer, maybe they are still people out there ready to shed their blood for him. Well, I congratulate them in advance but before you do that ask yourself one question "where are Ameachi children and family member?"

Desric: I think this quote of Amaechi is incomplete, the OP didn't deem it fit to complete it, because he/she was too busy looking for cheap lope hole to discredit the young man. Amaechi said " there is no revolution without blood, the only revolution without blood is through reforms". There was no time he urged the people to fight or spill their blood, besides, he's already spilling his by all the persecution and curse he's getting, he only asked the people to stand up for their right because only then will our leaders become responsible and realise that power indeed belongs to the people, not money, official power or in some individuals.

Desric: They are in PHC for your information, that's how you guys go around spreading false rumours and lies causing so much disaffection among unsuspecting citizens. If I open a Religious thread now and say that "Christianity is evil", you'll be the first to attack me but I can bet you that most of the lies and rumours that causes plenty of heat being spread in Nigeria are spread by Christians why? What's the lies and misquotations for, what do you stand to gain at the end of the day?
N:B: Please I am not in anyway scorning my Christian brethren, just used the phrase to buttress my point, no harm intended and I don't mean to get on anyone's nerve thank you so much for understanding.

taharqa: Again, I ask you: how was Amaechi misquoted...

eye4eye: Don't mind the op. The op is Ibo! That is what Ibos do all the time. Amaechi never said that. Thee Ibos misrepresent and blackmail people all over the place and repeat the lies over and over again so that it sticks. They can't fight with the truth. All they do is to twist the fact all the time. The only way they can be successful is to spread lies to the public.

Amaechi never said what the Ibo op said. This is the same way they have been spreading lies about Buhari. They have been misrepresenting Buhari's views in the last 4 years. Where were they when Buhari contested in 2003 and 2007?

We have to fight them back with the truth by pointing it out immediatelly they start spreading their lies. We have been folding our arms for too long. But the gloves are off now. We will continue to fight back.

Omen100:


YOU ARE JUST BEING AN IGBO MAN AND I SORRY 4 ALL UNA BECAUSE IGBO PEOPLE HAS REFUSED TO LEARN EVEN WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY HAS REPRESENTED ITSELF.

eye4eye:


Here is the direct quote from Amaechi: "There is no revolution without blood. The only revolution without blood is reform."

Compare it to the rubbish the op penned and the topic by the op. I know you to be a spinning machine. You can continue to spin the way you want till you get dizzy.
