They hailed Kanu and made him a fugutive.
They hailed Fayose until the rock of Ekiti became pebles.
They hailed Saraki and he became a political orphan.
They hailed Atiku and he is still searching for INEC server.
Now, they just hailed Sowore and see where their hailing has landed him.
May we not be hailed by the wailers. 1 Like |

The man is Sowore. You start using undue Koboko on him when you call him Sowere. Have you seen the difference? Revolution is English, which like all English words can be manipulatively and mechnically used either innocently or mischievously. Did anyone find weapons on him? Injustices of a paranoid Government. What do you call Herdsmen now killing Police and the Military in the NE? This is Insurrectional Reprisal worse than a Revolution innocently spoken. And the Police are talking "Seditious Felony, where do they get this jaw breaking allegation from? Small Sowore. And you want to wake up Awolowo to defend him? This is a Democracy. So pease release him. |

ifyboy60: America, the land of democracy with the same kind of system of government we practice in Nigeria is facing an even worse form of violence every day, just today in less than 24 hours, 34 Americans perished via violent gun deaths, so, please show us where and how Americans are chanting, demanding and staging violent revolution to overthrow their democratically elected government. Btw, have you signed yourself and the able body people in your family to take part in the violent revolution or you are just a keyboard internet revolutionary warrior? |

VULCAN:Our consolation is that no matter what buhari would not be there more than four years. There is no magic he can conjure. Unfortunately, the old man has racked up so much negative precedence, we could have a near dictator in the future. Any future president can just basically do anything at this stage and he would say buhari did it first. |

Stillthebest: U say "words are never meant to be one way", but yet u insist that d only meaning of revolution available is "violent takeover/overthrow. That already is a contradiction. When I first quoted JFK, this is what I said: "Let me begin by quoting JFK when he said that "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." Which means that there are two types of revolution, violent and nonviolent. What happened in Sudan this year which led to d fall of d Omar al-Bashir govt,wasn't a violent revolution. D only violence recorded was that meted out to protesters by security agencies. Same can b said of d Arab spring particularly in Egypt which was called a "social media revolution". So ur definition that revolution is "forceful takeover/overthrow", isnt universal& doesnt apply in all cases." So based on science that u mentioned and I quote: "that's why you see postulation in science being countered and corrected over time when there is an improvement and when there's a new scholar who can prove them wrong and make us believe in their own New theory". my explanation about revolution above are empirical facts, "new theory" (which u ignored) which provide evidence that revolution isn't restricted to "violent takeover/overthrow". U are d one who is even doing d opposite of science that u talked about. U weren't part of d Shiite protests, hence u don't no what caused d violence but u knew that d shiites fulfilled their mission of wanting a bloody protest. That's interesting. How did u no that they fulfilled their mission since u don't no what caused d violence? So if u say u didn't say or imply that Sowore was arrested because he used d word "revolution", then y was he arrested? What are those "pragmatic words" did u say he should have used? |

[quote author=bakescos01 post=80931684][/quote] [b] "Let me first let you know am a Christian and is not like am backing Shiite for anything but am just trying to state the obvious. Like I said earlier Nigerian Police are not well trained in handling riot-related issues. I blamed the Nigerian Police for that Shiite incident. I for one did not see in any video the Shiite guys holding any weapon. I believe we don't know the true story about what really went down. Am against this government also but sometimes we have to use the right words so they won't hold on that as an excuse. There excuse about this protest is justifiable even under our Nigerian constitution. No government will allow a revolution to move against them and also using Days of Rage and also. And also coming from a Presidential Aspirant that just lost the election. How would we all feel if Atiku says he is leading a protest of revolution and asking for a new Nigeria. Is not just coming from a normal Nigerian citizen but a recent presidential Aspirant. Sowore should have known better except if he has other plans that we all don't know about. I really don't trust all these guys like that. We will be shocked to know he is even working with APC. Just a suspicion."[/b] I didn't ask u to support d Shiites or not to support them. Ur religious affiliation has absolutely nothing to do with d discussion. This is about d constitution and d rights of Nigerians which are being trampled upon. In everything u said, u didn't address d issues that I raised. U are still insisting that "revolution" is a wrong word to use in staging a protest. And I asked u about Tuface and u had this to say: "He didn't even use a word like REVOLUTION yet they stopped him and didn't let the protest happen." Y then did govt stop d tuface protest? Concerning d Shiites, did d Shiites use d word "revolution"? Y have they been called a terrorist group just because they are fighting that d govt obeys a court order? Did they ask 4 "revolution" or that a court order b obeyed? Based on d above, is this an issue of choice of words or d intolerance of this govt to protests and dissent? Cos d example of tuface and Shiites has nothing to do with revolution 1 Like |

Stillthebest: Maybe u should re read where u said u didn't no what caused d violence that led 2d deaths of several Shiite members and compare it what u said I should re read. If u say u are ignorant about what went down as regards d protests, then u shouldn't b telling us about d Shiite mission that u say they fulfilled without announcing it. If u don't no, u don't no. If u are implying that d Shiites had a sinister agenda, then y aren't also implying that d govt also had a sinister agenda since u are feigning ignorance on one end and knowledge on d other end |

gidgiddy:When book haram started no body knew they were armed to large extent to on the military. So, who can tell whether these so-called 'revolution mongers' are armed or not. Remember, it was after the gang leader met with the leader of the already out law ipob group outside the country some few days ago that he started announcing his ' revolution'. At any rate revolution and protest are two different words which l believe Soware and gangs quiet understand what each entails, their consequences and end products. Therefore, using a word like revolution ( which means violence change) against a constitutionally instilled government is detrimental and no government on earth would seat adamant and allow some disgruntles elements and election losers to unconstitutionally upturn it free given mandate just because they are not satisfy with the way of things. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJmHhc5SrnA We want to prepare Nigerians for what is to happen, we want this country to experience a revolution. We are going to take our destiny in our own hands - Sowore. Before the arrest, it was Revolution and overthrowing the government, but after the arrest, it's no longer Revolution, it's time to start playing the victim and hiding under peaceful protest and human rights. This is when deceptive, dubious and lying crooks promise to liberate you based on their own selfish reasons and inability to console themselves, but, burn down the country after serious beating at the polls. |

stdammis: Of course! It happend in South Africa. Nobody needed to overthrow the government of FW de Klerk before apartheid system was removed in South Africal and replaced with multi-party democracy. It was the agitation and protest of the people that did that. Which government would want you to change them without a fight. I understand that sowore meant protest. But calling it revolution is the wrong move. Any government would wanna cap any revolution movement before it grows into something they cant control. Freedom of protest is in the constitution and protest is what Sowore called for. The fact that he tagged the protest 'revolution' is of no consequence. Only an armed group can change government and Sowore is not armed. |

gidgiddy:oga revolution in politics mean one thing.... U don't use the word "revolution" for a protest in the face of a sitting government anywhere in the world. No government will sit and watch a protest tagged revolution turn violence before reacting.... It's better to stop the protest in case it becomes bad in the end.... When it becomes violent, it won't be easy to control it then..... if at the end, lives get lost, its still we that'll come out complaining. In any government anywhere in the world,a protest tagged "revolution" is termed a "treason". Even if u don't like the government, use another term for the protest. That's just the truth whether we like it or not. |

If your barbaric president had not made inciting statements in the time of GEJ I would seen a good reason the arrest of sowore. But the idiot now in Aso Rock is not innocent as far as careless use of words is concerned: if you still remember he promised to make the past govt ungovernable, that is a treasonable felony, yet nobody arrested him.. But to prove his dictatorship he runs after everyone who says anything bad about him. |

Re: Will Any Government In The World Sit And Watch A "Revolution" Protest? by stdammis(m): 8:26pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
gidgiddy: I feel like we are saying the same thing. If a protest can get us there, then fine protest it is. But theres no revolution without some level of violence. This government is paranoid already. They knew a day will come when people will wake up. So when sowore called revolution, he spooked them. Again, his only crime is that he called revolution and not protest even though he meant protest. But as a bad government comfortable with oppressing your citizens, the world revolution means war against them....and you should know they will come for you. |

We need to learn to be dispassionate and focus on issues at hand. We need not allow emotions to cloud our clarity of thoughts as being displayed by some people here. Having disjointed thoughts has never helped in problem solving. The poster asked a simple straight forward question - Will any government in the world sit and watch a 'revolution' protest? The answers should be - yes or no with reasons regardless of what had happened in other protests in the country. Mixing issues with issues is not helping the poster who is seeking for your inputs. I believe as Naijas if we play down on our emotions and take issues one after the other, we would move out of the woods. |
