unexploded timed bomb, i.e. (the dissatisfied and oppressed people of Nigeria).
It is a matter of time when people will start asking questions and start to demand for their rights. I can assured you that no amount of armunitions will be enough to suppress the will of the people.
History shall prove me right when the time comes, and it is just round the corner when people will collectively say in one voice that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
It has happen before in Russia and France, where certain aristocratic families, the Zars, of Russia was wiped out when the people had enough of them, and the French Revolution of 1879, that resulted into the removal of the then cabals of the royal family in France, to free the French society of the lording of the so-called royal family and free themselves of being second class citizens to others in France. I cannot see any reason why history cannot repeat itself in Nigeria.
According to the famous saying in journalism that:
'Pen is Mightier than Gun', the
silence revolution has started already. It is a matter of education through
pens and papers, and the people will start talking and start asking questions, and no amount of armunitions that, they, the so-called
'evil and heartless cabals in Nigeria', solely relied upon could stop it. Only time will tell.
Thank you for that BRILLIANT POST of yours. You said exactly what I wanted to say. I couldn't have said it better.
THE BITTER TRUTH, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, IS THAT WE ARE A COLONY OF THE NORTH.
I will explain in details why I have made this assertion in my forthcoming article,
'n******ia: To be or not to be?
We must admit that the north has not only dominated the Nigerian Army; by the way, that's the ONLY place where QUOTA SYSTEM is not in operation, but as well has A LOT OF EXPERIENCE in the POWER GAME. Unfortunately, this is our BIGGEST WICKNESS, and where we are MOST VULNERABLE, in the south. However, just like you said, when we are ready to break up Nigeria, I can assure you that people like Babangida, with all his MARADONA, Danjuma and the whole of the northern army with all their experience in planning coups will not be able to stop us! There is no monopoly to knowledge.
People think that the only way to break up Nigeria is through another civil war or coup. That's why the Ndigbos are reluctant to start another war again because they are not sure of the position of the Yorubas. What is most important for us in the south is to choose the right strategy that will render useless all the ammunitions stored in the north. My brother, I tell you, it's possible. It's just that we have not really thought about all the options available to us to realise this objective without going to war. But, it's going to take a HELL lot of work from us. And a lot of people have to come on board to realise this plan. We are not even going to make it a secret that we want to break away, that's the most interesting part of it all. But, I repeat again, what is MOST IMPORTANT is to choose the right strategy. This is the HARDEST PART, which needs a lot of BRAINSTORMING.
If the ALMIGHTY FORMER SOVIET UNION COULD BREAK UP, WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT NIGERIA?. I asked this question in part 2 of my article, 'Nigeria: To be or not to be?, but I am yet to get an answer, talkless of a CONVINCING ANSWER.
What we need to do now is to do a lot of anlysis as regards to how other countries realised their political objective, and decide what is applicable to our situation. This should be the focus of our attention and plan now. It's not enough to talk about freedom on the internet. There is the need for a plan. I have taken upon myself the very difficult task of presenting one in my future articles. It may serve as a 'stepping stone' that others copuld improve on.
Our forefathers got independence from the British. It's now our turn to get independence from the north for the sake of coming generations.
Finally, I want to use this opportunity to thank the author for this article. Writing of biography is not that popular in Nigeria. Or should I say undedeveloped. I am greatful to him for taking up this very difficult but important task. I sincerely hope that he will go ahead to publish the biography of this man, not for us to admire him but to con firm again that he is indeed an evil genius, who has used his knowledge to steal and destroy n******ia. No matter how babangida tries to rewritye his autobiography, he will FOREVER be remembered as a CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT, VISIONLESS AND MORALLY BANKRUPT DICTATOR. Nothing can change that. No amount of interviews will change that. The very day he kicks the bucket, I can assure him that millions of n******ians will go out on the streets to jubilate and thank God. I wish you all the best in your book. The world deserve to know this DEVIL.
