I know that many of the rudely Soro Soke generations are in their 20’s but that doesn’t give them a license to be stupid. It doesn’t. As a young boy during the military era, we dreamt and fantasize about revolution in Nigeria. We have read all the books on the civil war, Ojukwu

and Benjamin Adekunle aka Black Scorpion were our heroes. We later read about Amilcal Cabral,Che Guevera,Fidel Castro,Daniel Ortega the leader of the Nicaraguan Revolution! we read about Karl Max and his Bourgousie Vs Proletariat struggles.Even as a fantasy,we were grounded.

Later we graduated to the Non Violent tactic of Ghandi which was embraced by the American Civil Rights movements, we knew about Malcom X and Louis Shabban of the Nation of Islam and their disagreement with Luther King Jnr. We saw how effective the NVM became and what it achieved.

In our search for the truth, we studied,we organized. We later look at the the Polisario in Morocco,we studied Yasser Arafat and the PLO, we knew about the breakaway PLM who would rather embrace armed struggle. What about the ANC and Mandela,we knew Steve Biko preference for

agitations. Our music were radical and revolutionary,Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Sonny Okosun and our own Fela Anikulapo. So when I ask the new generation who their role model in this struggle,they respond with: Weyerey O fe disguise,Soro Soke🤭they don’t you. So I ask who are their

parents? Do you just give bitter and won’t breed? The day I I knew it was a problem is when they attacked Wole Soyinka. WS is a god, a Nobel Laureate but children who passed WAEC at Special Centers don’t have responsible upbringing. They are just who they are! They want Nigeria

handed over to them. Who does that? When we see the ones who is capable and responsible, we will support. My stake in Nigeria is beyond political, I have seen what @CNN did to Iraq,Libya and Syria,it won’t happen here. If you want change,do it through the ballot but we won’t run.
