Lessons To Learn From The IPOB Revolution... by Marcelo290(m): 12:35pm On Jan 01, 2018
Irrespective of how anyone view it, IPOB shaked this country! I may not align with all their ideology and how they pursued it with some elements of hate speeches, but these guys led a revolution that would have brought about a better life than the status quo we have in place.

If only Nigerians can stand up against their corrupt governments like IPOB did, we would see the real change we seek. They held the Nigerian state to ransom, they protested fearlessly in their numbers even with the many killings. During that period I made a statement here, that "When a people no longer Fear death, then there is a problem!" Even if Biafra was not attained immediately, definitely restructuring would.

During that period we read news how the country was at the brisk of collapse, because the centre could no longer hold. Politicians were not at peace, they were running around and attending different meetings to look into their agitations. Different groups also sprang up and began to see sense in the issues Nnamdi Kanu raised, We also remember the Ibadan declarations, what suddenly happened? Did it go with Kanu? Believe it or not Nnamdi Kanu should be regarded a Hero.

I have read about the different revolutions in the world, we can't deny the fact that revolutions bring about positive changes in the society. The French Revolution between 1789-1799 stood up against the Feudalism and oppression that existed and brought about a republican, egalitarian society which till date, it's importance can never be underestimated. Even here in Africa we had one in Tunisia and Egypt, Both stood against the many ills in the society like police brutality, corruption, Unemployment, Poverty e.t.c. And brought about the dethronement of dictators.

It all started online like this. We Nigerians need to be pragmatic in our actions as only a revolution could save this country against the corrupt rogue we call politicians. The problem remains the people among us who are happy with the meagre peanuts they receive from these politicians.

Don't be deceived, Nigeria has the money and resources to effect the desired change we seek, forget the propaganda they carry about, If not where do they get the billions of money they loot? Do you know how many people that money would bring out of poverty? The truth is that 20% people control 80% of resources, while 80% of people are left to scamper for the remaining 20% of resources.

Many people here insulted and chastised IPOB, it was even labelled a terrorist organization and sent into hibernation, but who now talks about restructuring? I leave that to you and your conscience.

We Nigerians have attained a level of political development but most times we talk more than we do. Atiku or whoever can not bring the change we seek unless there is an overhaul review of the whole system. The foundation itself is faulty, so how would the building stand? we should try to remedy the root causes to avoid the impeding doom which awaits this country.

2018 is here, the long awaited campaign year. Watch how they splash the money they claim they don't have on campaigns, they would succeed in buying the heart of many, but remember the future of our children yet unborn, their sufferings would be hell compared to what we have now. Money that is meant for paying salaries and executing meaningful developmental projects.

Let it be known for the records that someone spoke about it. Oil is the only binding force keeping this country, and as we know, it's usefulness is depreciating faster than we can imagine.

A revolution is the only thing that could save this country!! We should stop deceiving ourselves and come together to chart a new course for development as the one we have now has failed us.

If truly you seek change, you need some internal revolution for yourself, only you can make it happen. Stop being an ipob first, ipob has its foundation as hate!

Did you read at all? I'm not an Ipob member and neither do I support their hate filled speeches. I'm saying we should borrow a leaf from their revolutionary attributes.
