Only Justice Can Kill A Revolution

We need to start changing the way we think and reason. We must develop a revolutionary spirit if we must succeed. Someone told me that our people should learn how to accept whatever we can't change, and I replied a capital No! There is always a time we should say no and resist injustice and unfair treatment. And that time is now.
Stop telling children how they should obey their leaders always. Tell them that only good leaders and sound laws should be obeyed. Bad leaders must be resisted. The saying that obedience is better than sacrifice, isn't actually obedience to evil and tyranny. It is obedience to good laws and sound morals.
School children, university undergraduates and even NYSC members should stop thinking that all is well for them. You are all alone. The system isn't made to help you grow, it was structured to steal from you. From jamb to NYSC is all taking from you to maintain your selfish leaders. Believe me when I say it, Nigeria is a dream killer.
You need to wear your boot and cling to your armor for only a REVOLUTION can save you from Nigeria. Oh! please don't tell me a revolution can't happen in Nigeria. It will happen. Your only problem is that you think it is a revolution the entire Nigerians will unite to pursue. That is an illusion. Those with the inner eye already know that revolution is already happening. The North will have theirs. They will challenge their overlords who now imprison Emirs for life. The middle belt will lead their own. They will fight to survive the Fulani onslaught.
The Biafrans are already on it. IPOB is leading it. The Yoruba? They have no option other than to look for their own survival. That's the revolution you will see.
Stop trusting in what these politicians are telling you. They can never stop the ongoing revolution. Remember that they tried stopping Biafra in 1967/70, but here are Biafrans still fighting relentlessly.
They killed Ken Saro Wiwa thinking that the agitation against pollution and deprivation of the people they called minority by the British and Nigeria people will stop. Did it stop? No! It gave birth to more mean resistance. Militants were born.
You can't stop revolution, whereas injustice, marginalization, inequality, imprisonment, nepotism and killing persists.
The more people you kill, torture and imprisoned, the more the revolution grows more higher and deadlier.
I am afraid for those these days will caught unprepared. You must start changing your mindset now!
