Opinion: Tinubu The Revolutionary? by danvon(m): 10:33am On Jan 26
Everybody in Nigeria wants change for the better, but the problem has always been rooted in the system.

Everybody wants to change the system but the question is "who will bell the cat?"

Changing the system is a risky business, everybody wants change but nobody likes change, a man who tries to change his society would always risk being hated and demonized, only when the fruits of his change have become clear would he be respected (and even then he could still be hated)...

The military leaders in Nigeria understood this very well and the wise ones usually tried not to upset the balance too much, the few that did usually ended up dead...

In China, Mao Zedong really messed up the country with his Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward, his predecessor Deng Xiaoping began undoing Mao terrible policies but very delicately made it look like he wasn't changing anything and like he was even promoting Mao's policies.

That brings us to the present, Tinubu is the first democratic leader to make rapid changes in the country in such a short time, from ending subsidy to reforming the police, now shifting CBN...

These are policies that most democratic leaders would never think of, they would talk about it but would never do it, especially in such a rapid pace...

The problem is when people think of a revolutionary, they imagine an unkempt bushy faced man, screaming from the fringes, but when you check leaders who had more impact on their societies they are usually far from this picture...

Tinubu might just be the change Nigeria always wanted but only time would tell.

This is the perception am thinking about him before I vote for him. Many people think Nigeria problems started in his tenure. Let be realistic for once. I understand that Nigerians are suffering but some hard decision are to be made to have a working system. E.g the naira is declining in the market, but people believe is the government policy that cause that but not. If they know the amount that the last administration was pumping to the market everyday to keep naira afloat against the dollar, you will cry for Nigeria. Even Atiku said in his campaign that he will leave naira to determine itself. If the government can try and make four refineries works at optimum. And invest more in our agriculture. And construct a rail from North to south. We will see massive turn around for the country.
