1. Most nations today witnessed protests & upheavals in the form of Revolution, at one point. We had the Haitian Revolution that ended the same year the Sokoto Caliphate was founded, 1804. 
2. Then there was the Chinese, German, French, English, Russian, American Revolutions, & the Declaration of Independence by the Thirteen Colonies that followed.
3. At one point, Marie Antoinette & Louis XVI were so lavish that the King had to wake up in the mornings greeted ostentatiously, by lavish balls. Marie & Louis’s fate was sealed at the gallows
From the fall of this last Dynastic Monarchy of France, would rise Napoleon Bonaparte

4. The fall of the Romanovs, “the last Dynasty in Russia,” saw the abdication, imprisonment & the eventual massacre of the last Emperor of Russia Tsar Nikolas II & his family, by the Bolsheviks.
This followed a similar fashion. It was occasioned by unrests & upheavals.

5. Now, I must mention the French Revolution in particular, started as a result of social & economic inequality in France
Specifically rising prices of food commodities like bread. There is now a similar situation in Nigeria, with rising inflation, unemployment, poverty & hunger

6. I think Nigeria should be no different. All Revolutions started as a result of oppression of the middle class & the poor in part, then the corruption & ostentation by the ruling elites.
Will Nigerians rise up one day & say ENOUGH with a resounding REVOLT?
