Let’s face the truth: fighting for a better Nigeria isn’t about staging isolated protests where dates and venues are announced only for a handful of people to show up shouting “Revolution Now” all over the place.
Real change demands a systematic approach and carefully coordinated, strategic planning—preferably done in secret. The kind of protest that can shake any government in Nigeria isn’t a gathering of ten people holding placards—it’s a mass movement, a million-man march on the capital, the kind we saw during the Arab Spring or in Sri Lanka.
Omoyele Sowore, unfortunately, presents himself as a self-centred activist. He wants everything to revolve around him, acting as if he’s the only saint in a country full of sinners. He has consistently refused to collaborate with others and insists on elevating himself above everyone else. He remains both Chairman and Presidential candidate of his party—clearly showing a refusal to build a structure beyond his own image. At best, what he’s doing is treating symptoms while the real sickness of Nigeria continues to eat away at the country from within.

A better and more effective option lies in an electoral revolution—an idea already in motion. RandyPeterz has submitted a petition to the Senate Electoral Committee and is calling on leaders from all spheres—political, religious, and civil society—to lend their voices and take action.
Nigeria’s problems must be tackled from the grassroots—from the councillors to the local government chairmen, to the state Houses of Assembly, to the National Assembly. Real change must be built from the bottom up. This fight is far beyond the weekly drama of protesting in Abuja and using the arrest and bail of citizens as a supposed front for defending the masses.
