It's time for a Revolution

May 4, 2009

The Nigerian Revolutionary Council is appalled at the turn of events in Ekiti and is constrained to release this press statement.
 
Malcolm X once mockingly said that John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King both deserved to win Oscars for their role in the Civil Rights movement of the sixties. He said that JFK  should be nominated for a best actor award while MLK should get a supporting actor slot. He called the peaceful Civil Rights coalition a bunch of idiots who didn't understand the actions needed to end institutionalised racism. In Malcolm X's words, the field nigger not the house nigger could successfully lead the battle against racism.


Today, we ask Nigerians to rise up in arms against the corrupt, rudderless, vacillating junta of Umaru Musa Yar'Adua an impotent idiot who is leading our country down the precipice without an inkling of his own incompetence. Yar'Adua has promised us heaven an earth and delivered nothing. Rather than face the reality and resign before a deadly ailment completely consumes his faculties, he continues to pretend that he is fit to be the president of the world's largest black nation. Some of his celebrated first actions as president included appointing M.D Yusufu, a career criminal and Halliburton suspect to head the Police Reform Commission and delegating similar functions to Mohammed Uwais, a hopeless jurist who caddied for the dreaded Abacha.
 
The Ekiti selection has shown what this dumb Northerner really thinks about democracy. He had the choice of organizing a successful; election that would show a new dawn in Nigerian politics. Rather, he succumbed to the wishes of desperate politicos and supported a highly-flawed charade that ultimately led to the inclusion of "results" collated in a police station. The most amazing part of the saga is the manner in which a co-conspirator, Mrs Ayoke Adebayo was hailed as a hero by the naive opposition even though she was acting out a script. If Adebayo was really a Christian as she claimed, why didn't she play along with the PDP goons and then declare the real results in front of the whole world?
 
Now that Yar'Adua, this emaciated coughing corpse-like figure has allowed his government to be taken over by a bunch of hoodlums who are intent on destroying the fabric of our society, we must decide how we want to continue. Do we sit back and pray for things to change or do we do the smart thing and rise up in arms against this illegitimate government?
 
 
In light of this chain of events, the NRC calls for the immediate assassination of the president, his advisers, ministers, Professor Maurice Iwu and other stumbling blocks of democracy. A competent sniper can do it. We believe that like-minded patriots can finance it.
