Nigeria is too divided to have a single front. It’s either we break up into different nations or at worst we return to regional system of governance. |

Long overdue, but the citizens are not united enough to see it through... That's why we have had failed leaderships for decades. Citizens that couldn't speak with one voice at the polling booths, can't be expected to partake in a revolution... The average Nigerian is so selfish and tribalistic, it beggars belief... Omoyele, I laud your efforts, but you are in the wrong country... Your tribesmen will be the first to betray you. Mark my words!!! 2 Likes |

Sowore wants to lead a revolution, Days of Rage, a mass action movement against the goverment of the day, to protest goverment atrocities, ineptitude, inefficiency, ethnic jingoism or general inactivity as permeates the body polity today. Noble initiative, noble cause, if led by an altruistic person. But is Sowore? Does he see himself as a revolutionary or freedom fighter? Is he a modern day Jenkhis Khan, Atila the Hun, Nelsen Mandela or just a rabble rouser? We no longer even see Sowore as an activist, these days, no matter his pretensions and protestations to the contrary. We rather see him as a renegade, a rebel without cause, a sophist who has fallen out with his former friends and is now out to spite them, while also making a name for himself. In Sowore's mind, he hopes to inspire a crtitical mass to escalate this protest he is championing, to become the sub saharan version of the Arab Spring. He sees himself as the the modern day hero, like the San Cullote of the French revolution, who brought down a goverment while protesting for bread, Sowore imagines he can inspire change, bring about radical reform in a unstable economy and perhaps even bring about sudden change of goverment through popular revolt of the people. Sowore has followed the story of the 22 year old Sudanese girl in Khartoum who toppled a 30yr old regime by standing up to wage protests and told himself, why not me? If days of protests with multitudes led by a little girl forced Omar Mohammed Al Bashir to adbidcate in sudan, why cant it be done in Nigeria, backed by my Sahara reporters and extensive media reach? He wants to become the modern day Rosa Parks in Nigeria, a woman who closed the racial cleavages of America by simply refusing to give up her bus seat in America's deep south. Sowore hopes to enter history books by being like the grocer who triggered the Arab Spring in the streets of Tunis by dousing himself in gasoline and burning himself, setting the stage for oppressive regimes of the Magreb to start falling like a pack of cards. Sowore wants to achieve all this via a facebook proclamation, without the self immolation though and without personal discomfort either, perhaps safely tucked away in America. Sowore fails to understand the most successful revolutions in history were not planned, there was no mobilizatoon, there was no coordinated media sensitization- it just happened, triggered by a very trivial event. Anything other than this, often only results to a police action(apologies to Gowon) to quell any notions of insurrection in the minds of misguided promoters. Behind this so called altruism of Sowore, is his own need for self deification, his burning desire to achieve immortality through the back door, using rallying call of popular revolt. Sowore timed his call to action to coincide with the heightened tension in the capital occassioned by the El ZakZakky debacle,as the catalyst or keg of gun powder that conflagrates the situation He wants to cash in on the Shiite protests and hopes that his 'days of rage' with Shiite sympathy and protests,will snowball into an uprising that will see this goverment scampering out of town. What Sowore failed to achieve at the ballot, he wants to achieve in the street. There are many reasons Nigerians should protest and many people who should too, but Sowore cannot lead this charge. Anything he does will be read through the prism of political mischief. He was an activist and had every right to lead protests and bring people into the streets, but the very minute he declared for a political party, he lost that leverage. The very minute he appeared on the ballot to contest an election against a goverment in power, he lost the popular appeal to be able to lead people to the streets. That he is even still fighting in court to lead his party further diminishes his credentials to be able to lead popular revolt. 5 years ago, or even 3years ago, under similar circumstances, this movement would have gained traction and gotten results. But immediately after losing an electoral project? Naaah. Any one devoid of any political leanings can lead this charge, but certainly not Sowore. This is the reason why this his call to action will go unheeded. 3 Likes 1 Share |
