Fellow Nlanders a revolution just occurred in Egypt which led to the ousting of their President.How possible is it considering the following below in Nigeria? 1.Who will start it? 2.Will religious and tribal sentiment not stand as a hinderance? 3.What will be the take on the Supporters of the ruling Party(PDP)? 4.Will the Opposition not Hijack it as against the masses that are apolitical? 5.Will it lead to the end of the almighty black nation called Nigeria? Matured comments are welcomed |

onuwaje: This is exactly what we need in nigeria This is the second revolution in Egypt in 3 years, a revolution in itself is not a good thing so I wouldn't say that. A revolution in Nigeria will probably be bloody, what we need is a president that has a brain and uses it. |

A revolution in Nigeria is possible if the civilians are backed up by the police and military. The 'old establishment' of politicians in Nigeria certainly need to be weeded out from politics in order to enthrone a popular govt at the federal level. |

CFCfan: A revolution in Nigeria is possible if the civilians are backed up by the police and military.

Actually, Nigeria's problem is not about the elite, it is about simple mindedness and ignorance, fixing Nigeria largely consists of moving powers to the states and guaranteeing them in the constitution, these elites can still just as easily steal from the states. There are no worthwhile advantages for the elites in the way our government is set up, they just don't know any better. Basically they are simple minded thieves and a "peoples government" is not necessary, a learned thief in Aso rock would do just fine. 1 Like |

No! Its uncalled for now in Nigeria. But its very possible in BokoHaristan and long over due. We all know the regions that make up this nation. But, I will still point them out: NE and SW. |

The Egyptian 2nd revolution has just set a new precedence just like the Tunisian flagged off the domino effect in the arab world. What happened yesterday will embolden the opposition in Turkey, Iraq and other countries that has an autonomous military institutions. We may yet see another quasi military coup, in turkey very soon, if the opposition and the people decides to go back to the street. But as for Nigeria, only in our dreams, there are just too many variables and many sellouts, you will be surprised that the leaders of such mass movement, will sell out the people for a juicy post in NNPC! And we should not forget our love for life, only a very few will be willing to die for such a cause. 2 Likes |

Not possible. Nigerians dont trust each other. Any revolution that will end up bringing a northerner will not be supported by the South and any revolution that will end with a southerner in office will not be supported by the North. Whether military or civilian. The distrust is very much alive and continuously force fed by the political elite. The only revolution i think is possible is a revolution that ends with a divided country.  |

What revolution has happened in Egypt? You people make me laugh. Egypt is just going round in circles. The same military they chased out they've welcomed back in under a year. Why would the military be different or why will they midwife the type of govt they couldn't do before? Whoever they transfer power to will still be from the same ruling class they've aligned with since independence. Meanwhile their economy continues to nosedive in the midst of all the turmoil and instability. Why exactly should Nigeria copy this model? 1 Like |

IT IS POSSIBLE. 1. HOWEVER OUR POLICE AND MILITARY ARE THE MUMU WHO WOULD NOT STAND ON THE SIDE OF THE PEOPLE. 2.BUT THE GREATER ODDS TO IT IS THAT WE ARE DIVIDED ON ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS. THE THIEVES IN POLITICAL GOWNS ARE ALWAYS EXPLOITING US ALONG THIS LINE. WHEN WE ARE TIRED OF SLAVERY, WE WILL STAND UP TO RESIST THESE TYRANTS. |

Olaolufred: IT IS POSSIBLE. It is a MYTH that the Egyptian military ''stands on the side of the people''. You need to NOT take these western news channels seriously when they make up these fantasies. The same Egyptian military which ''stands on the side of the people'' was only last year CHASED OUT OF POWER by the very same people for their elitist, repressive, retrogressive rule. |

Rossikk: PROBABLY THEY HAVE NOW RECOGNIZED THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE. |
| Re: Is The Egyptian Type Of Revolution Possible In Nigeria by Rossikk(m): 3:43pm On Jul 04, 2013 |
Olaolufred: Look, the problem with Egypt is that the people are only good for filling out Tahir Sq, maybe for cameras to show them in their millions. They never go the extra step of actually STORMING the temples of power in Egypt en masse, seizing power, and declaring a REAL peoples' revolution. What always happens is that when they fill out their squares, they start dancing, having picnics, singing, setting off fireworks etc, waiting for the MILITARY to take over, whereas it should be THEM taking over. The reason this happens is that the people are still AFRAID of storming the parliament and state house. They know the military, who are supposedly 'on their side' will not hesitate to bomb them to smithereens if they dare it. In the end, the military retains power for the ruling elite, and simply does another 'magic trick' by way of 'democratic transfer' to another set of civilian elite stooges. After further economic disappointment, the cycle of 'revolution' repeats itself. |

Rossikk: NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO EXPLAIN IT, IT IS REVOLUTION. DEMANDING A CHANGE AND HAVING IT. ISN'T IT BETTER THAN OURS THAT IS ENCAPSULATED IN WHAT IS CALLED "SUFFERING AND SMILING". |

very soon naija people will wake up. we like follow follow naa. but truth is, just like IBB once said, the youth are not ready. they are not seriousminded about politice. they are so concern about premier leagues n nollywoods forgettin that politices determine their education, employement, feeding, religion,sleepin, entertaiment, safety, and so on. naija youth shud wake! |
| Re: Is The Egyptian Type Of Revolution Possible In Nigeria by Rossikk(m): 4:05pm On Jul 04, 2013 |
Olaolufred: Use your brain. ''Demanding change and having it''. WHAT CHANGE HAVE THEY HAD? I've seen many interviews where the people were saying they preferred the Mubarak era! Why? Because things have gotten progressively worse since their ''revolution''. So what ''change'' are you talking about, or are you dense enough to imagine that merely changing the faces in govt house constitutes change? Ok go and fill the streets for revolution. You want Jonathan to go. Army takes over. You jubilate. Army hands over to Atiku. So much for your ''revolution''. That's exactly what's happening in Egypt. 1 Like |

@@@@ like they say; he say dem say The main reason there is this sort of unrest in Egypt is their Economy has taken a serious dive and its future is not looking either. With every now and then people run like headless chicken in Cairo The outcome is 1; IMF cannot give the aid like 4 billion without a stable government they promised 2; ur uncle tom US who removes anyone in the name of regime change isn't happy about this one 3; Libya want their billions they loaned to Egypt back 4;Inflation will keep rocketing So for Egypt to recover it gona takes years but will the headless chicken realize this more unrest means the country is on fire the only positive lesson from all this is the north must learn to know they are Africans before anything else  Hope the mallams are listening |

onuwaje: This is exactly what we need in nigeriaWe don't need that ''crap'' in in our volatile and Fragile Nigeria !! What we need is political maturity via deepened democracy !!! and I believe we have just achieved a landmark in the history of Nigeria as emergence of new alternative party is a Natural Evolution First of her kind in our history !!! I dont know why some youth/adult never learn a thing from Nigerian History !!! Military Rule will only worsen our condition as it has done before time !!! The Army are never trained nor detailed to be Objective nor ensure equality , Army will only act using his discretion to judge what is right/wrong or what is not right/wrong !!!! 1 Like |
