@MaziUche0 and playmode -  You both have the guts to support what these cowards called M.E.N.D did, how would both of you feel if your family members like your sister or father or mother was part of those killed today, I'm sure you would be filled with so much bitterness and sorrow. Agree nigeria needs a revolution, no doubt but it must be done in a calculative way. Don't go bombing innocent people, get educated, hire professionals, ASO ROCK isn't that secured, for goodness sake strike where it matters, when osama struck he made sure he shook the united states where it would hurt the most, their financial background. Another important point to take note is that these so called militants were offered amnesty and they took it, for me  that's a sign of cowardliness, true patroits never compromise their integrity, I'm starting to suspect it's all a political sham!

I have friends and families of friends that died on that day. Bad example. Anyhoo, the point is lives were lost on both occasions,

jabbok:

We get our own issues sure. But it is always good to take a broader view. I said they are suspects remember

Very true, "An enemy of my enemy is my friend" someone i need to keep on ice just in case,

tpiah:

the fact of the matter remains some nigerians will always be miserable no matter what.

end of. It's a state of mind and even if your village becomes paradise you will still find a way to make it hell.

china and india are still waiting for their own internal revolution till date. They turned their situation around through intelligence, not by bombing themselves s.tupidly.

Really brother, understanding the need for revolution and a country's history and geo-location is necessary here.

- China have undergone several stages of revolution/rebellion since the early 1900's (1911/1949 are only a couple of the major ones)
- India also underwent its own stages of revolution

--Also, there are rebel groups in China and India that still fight the government
---As far as geo-location goes, look at Saudi Arabia, one of the reasons most citizens choose not to revolt against The Kingdom's structure and manner of government is based on neighboring countries waiting on their downfall/weakness,

What happened in Nigeria today is sad but many will see it as a necessary evil.

tpiah:

stop quoting things you dont understand.


did you stop to ask yourself what patriots refers to here?

think before you type.

let you and MEND be ready to shed your blood for your cause then.

havent seen that in your cowardly hideouts so far.

-I am not in support of MEND or their acts, neither am i in support of the unjust oppression in Nigeria, I sit right here on the sideline and all i see is a big revolution coming on. Sooner or later, the people will cry "enough!", take to the streets with arms in hand and demand what's theirs be given to them. Its the general course of nature, we as humans get fed up of constant abuse (several countries in the middle east are proof to that fact at present).

- As for the quote, here's the full thing:

"Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

Be the judge!

Live on Nairaland! The exhibition of idiocracy, ignorance and extremely selfish thinking of my fellow Nigerians that play a huge part to the lack of growth in my country, Ride on, the world is laughing!

Really sad!!! There's the good, the bad and yet to come, the very ugly outcome in the course my country is taking.

# Hmmm, a wise man once said:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, "

If by the mere force of numbers a majority (Nigerian Government & Family) should deprive a minority (everyone else) of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution - A revolution knocks Nigeria, will you answer without much more costly prices to pay?
---May the souls of the lost ones rest in eternal peace.
AMEN
