I agree that protests are the rights of every citizen but I also want that we protest with goals and aims in our hearts because we only have Nigeria as our own. I will not be part of another "waka pass" just to answer activist.

You need a thief or a once thief to beat a practicing thief. Does this apply in this Nigerian protest context. <br /><br />Let us not be unmindful of the fact that we need all the advice and support that we can get. I see no problem marching with a reformed James Ibori in a protest if he truly wishes to bring down this evil corrupt Government. Even if his reasons are not altruistic. Even if he is doing it just for vengeance. If he serves our purpose, my opinion is to let him in.Dfewgoodmenhttp://www.twitter.com/fewgoodmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241267099232901702.post-24861689242291166202012-04-24T03:00:07.390-07:002012-04-24T03:00:07.390-07:00No, a girl can't be blamed for being optimisti...No, a girl can't be blamed for being optimistic. However, the Nigerian malady is a large and enormously multi-hydra problem. It is a problem that beats all orthodox definitions and solutions. Corruption indeed is deeply entrenched in the Nigerian Polity. The Nigerian problem is a grievous one and only grievously can we solve it!<br /><br />Something I have come to realise in Politics, or in any struggle and in most aspects of human life is a notion that my Enemy's Enemy is my friend. No matter how temporarily. No matter how ephemeral, it rings true. we can't just jettison this. Why? Let me take you back memory's lane on Nigeria. Remember the 3rd term ambition of Obasanjo? We see likes of IBB, Atiku, the opposition and others throwing away their grievances and coming together in one united front to fight the greater menace. Yes, they succeeded.<br /><br />For this struggle, everyone is needed. The essence of this is to stop corruption. The enemy is menacing and formidable. Every help is needed. Even from former people in Govt. especially if they have shown the resolve to destroy this vampire sucking on the blood of the very existence. Of our continuing unity and our very well being. <br /><br />Life isn't just black and white. There're also shades of grey. It is going to take a lot. But when the time comes, let us be ready. No army on earth can kill an idea whose time has come. Nigeria MUST be redeemed!Dfewgoodmenhttp://www.twitter.com/dfewgoodmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241267099232901702.post-3702695269245591272012-04-24T02:46:17.685-07:002012-04-24T02:46:17.685-07:00I have always advocated for the right protests lik...I have always advocated for the right protests like you Pemi. I will only protest with people I trust, those I can vouch for, many of whom are already known to me.
