We the People of Naija

Misery is not something to be embraced. Rather it is to be rejected. This is common sense. But is common sense common in Naija? Yes it is; it is common sense taken to the next level. Our sensibility is to be practical. And it is this practicality which has lead us to accept the unacceptable. Hence we suffer miserably. Even though we have it within our ability to make the suffering end today.

The current administration is now threatening to keep our state of misery intact regardless of our cries for peaceful change through the ballot box.  They have already moved the goal post once and added time to the clock to give themselves an unfair advantage.  Their ploy won't work. They may press to deprive the people of our will yet again. They have various tricks to choose from. None of them will work. But in the meantime what must we the people of Nigeria do?

We must mount a direct challenge to this corrupt government by the few to ensure that true democracy takes hold in Nigeria.  The moment another election postponement is announced we must take to the streets in peaceful mass protest across the country. Bring your hand made signs, banners, noise makers and flags. Gather at your state capitals and raise your voice in mass numbers.

Simultaneously in Lagos the protest should be directed at the ports in Apapa with the objective of mounting a peaceful protest which will stop activity at the port for as long as it takes for the election to be held. Again I stress this protest should be peaceful.  Bring your cameras it will be a history making event. Tell everyone you know, spread the word through social media. The protest will be organised from the National Arts Theater and the patriots will march to the ports by way of Apapa Road until we reach the Wharf Road Round About. Which is where we will make our stand for true democracy.

The Port of Apapa is a strategic point which the anti-democratic government can not function without. If we wanted we could shut it down completely, and it may come to that. However, if the elections are conducted by free and fair means in accordance with the constitution of 1999, this will not be necessary. The intention of this non-violent protest is to call the attention of the authorities to the fact that the people are now fed up with the corruption and mismanagement which has plagued our country right from birth.  It is time for a new day in Naija and we are determined to bring that day to light with the help of Almighty God.

Anyone who is able to participate in this peaceful protest is advised to join up at the National Arts Theater in Lagos at daybreak on the day following the next postponement date.  This will be a peaceful protest, so come with a focus on righteous outcomes as the result of righteous actions. We are just in our reasoning. If Almighty God is with us who would dare stand against us.

Please reshare this post with everyone you know.  Muslim, Christian, North, South, East and West in Naija and abroad.  Fellow Nigerians we must stand up to save mama Naija from the jaws of death.


Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Many tribes one nation in the hand of Almighty God.
