Sowore and the Nigerian Revolution
“So, did you join the #RevolutionNow protests yesterday?”
“Which Revolution?”
“The #RevolutionNow protest led by Omoyele Sowore. The security people grabbed him ahead of the August 5 protests, but the Grand Coalition for Security and Democracy still came out in full force in Lagos and Abuja.”
“Yes. Yes. We did. But it rained in Abuja.”
“And were you part of it? The Coalition for Revolution in Nigeria”
“I am part and parcel of it. This country cannot continue like this. We need a revolution. Nobody can tell us that the change they promised in 2015, we now have it. The 2019 General election, did they get it right? No. Revolution is about change. We need to change this system. They told us in 2018 and 2019 that they will take us to the Next Level. But nothing has changed. Look at Nigeria. Look at our country! Our country has become a theatre of fear, regret and failure. Six months after election that they claim they have won, we are still fumbling and wobbling like the Super Eagles.”
“You didn’t answer my question. I asked you: were you part of the protests?”
