Hahahaha.... You can shout it more. We aren't divided within Protestants and Catholic faithfuls, try again.

No reasonable Igbo man will join a yoruba man in any form of revolution,because if something happen along the line,
yorubas will tag it igbo revolution and join hausafulanis in killing innocent easterns.

words of wisdom. I never saw it from this angle

Hhmmm....yoh are the very one that will not make South to become anything. Just listen to yourself.

Pls give one protest or any civil unrest in Nigeria that was started by Yoruba and they turned back and said igbo were the one that did it pls mention one and the date

Charlie Boy or Charlie pooh started a protest last year with a Yoruba guy at the end was it not our Charlie pooh that went behind to collect N100M from Kenyama

Bro bro Bro pls if you have nothing to say shut your mouth.

Youths of naija..?...mk I hear!

Dey can never put their body where their mouth us..by far the worst youths in the world!

I agree with you 100% and that is the reason why this country will forever remain like this.

Any revolution will be seen as an ethnic attack

As long as Tuface is not involved.

hisexcellency34:
Will u kip kwayet? Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is part of this

Then he should come to Naija to lead the protest nah. Haba

Igbos are Catholics and proud of it

I believe we seriously need a revolution but Sowore as a former presidential aspirant can not lead a successful revolution he has conflict of interest
He should have sponsored someone else to lead the protest

nairavsdollars:
I'm in. Where is the meeting point in Lagos?

Efcc and DSS will make him disappear sowore revolution ?

Sowore I trust u with my balls

Trust swore at your own peril... The guy is a typical Yoruba man who behaves like a cameleon...

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.

izombie:
As an igbo man, i have no business with any protest march organised by any yoruba or hausa person. They never joined the igbos when igbos were protesting. For the record, nnamdi kanu stood up to the powers in abuja and made them so scared that the presidency, senate and the rest of them started talking about restructuring and even made hell rufai to head the restructuring agenda. Kanu had no support from the yoruba or the hausa masses. Now, who can remember the last time anything serious about restructuring was talked about.
Any igbo man that joins this march must be mad.

You've said it all. let everyone do their own thing till we conclude to split.

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!!!

Count me in. Where is the meeting point?

hisexcellency34:
#revolution
Will you join the Day of Rage protest against bad governance organised by Omoyele Sowore on August 5th?

No.

The issue is, this is a protest which won't do much, won';t achieve much

The way froward is for Nigerians to work with the system...and acheve change that way.

Where's the location @, please?

Revolution is okay but we are too divided within ethnic line, religious line and political line.

MelesZenawi:


Maybe I will somehow agree with you.


The protest is simply oodua protest and nothing far from it.

Sowore is an Ijaw man not Yoruba

It's all selfish interest.

I joined Nairaland 2008, and this is by far the worst comment I encountered. Meanwhile, I am being polite with my assessment.

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.

It is very unfortunate that one of the persons he's putting his life on the line for is saying this.

You're right, they can change their cause within a twinkle of an eye then blame Igbo who would stand their ground, the Yoruba media will make it looks like Igbo thing.

You are inconsequential. Yorubas or anyone do not need your support. Sowore is not stupid and daft like Kanu that instructed you people to kill yorubas. We all thought you will try the nonsense and see the consequences. Like I said, sowore or yorubas do not need your support. Thanks

Sowore is a greedy fowl that would soon be used for pepper soup. The question is would sowore have declared revolution if he had won the 2019 presidential election?
