Who is afraid of a bloody revolution?
“We need a revolutionary change, a bloody one and those who survive will pick the pieces…corruption has eaten deep and everybody is involved, only a bloody revolution will remedy the situation.
That was how France was saved… if you read about the French revolution, that was what saved France and Europe is what it is today because of the French revolution. I cannot see the country being saved other than through a bloody revolution.”
~ Prof. Ben Nwabueze, SAN, at the occasion of the public presentation of his new book Colonialism in Africa: Ancient and Modern (Volumes 1 & 2), at the Nigeria Institute of International Affairs, Kofo Abayomi, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Wednesday July 7, 2010.
I concur with the erudite scholar and an icon of the incorruptible Nigerian intelligentsia.
The Nigerian intelligentsia is cast between the devil and the deep blue sea held to ransom by a corrupt ruling class ruled by a culture of corruption and a culture of hypocrisy.
There is the despotic corrupt ruling class of the kleptocracy and the hypocritical electorate who do not even think twice to muffle their conscience once they get the chance to dine and wine with the corrupt kleptomaniacs in the corridors of power.
I have no respect whatsoever for both or anyone without dignity and integrity.
It is a gross waste of time to engage in any discussion with these dogs and pigs of the earth.
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.”
~ Matthew 7:6 of the Holy Bible.
Here we are with a President Goodluck Jonathan whose chief advisers are unrepentant kleptomaniacs former President Oloye Olusẹgun Mathew Okikiọla Arẹmu Ọbasanjọ, GCFR, retired General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma GCON FSS, psc, and his former boss Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha ("DSP").
OBJ is the boss of all bosses of the Nigerian political Cosa Nostra.
They think they are sacred cows or untouchables who are above the law.
But they should be ready for the Judgment Day around the corner.
The solution is the total eradication of corruption at all levels and in all quarters by the elimination and extermination of all corrupt and evil people wherever we find them from the street to the pulpit, from the classrooms to the corridors of public and private offices.
We must not spare evil people otherwise they will continue to perpetrate and perpetuate their evils.
If we do not destroy evil doers, evil doers will destroy us.
