Hello Boda Òdè, – By Omole Ibukun

Ile-Oluji’s Voice of Reason, Iyanfoworogi’s concerned citizen, Ikorodu’s Three Wisemen in One, Iseyin’s political philosopher! E kaaro o, Boda Seyi Se nonsense. The hungry sage of Instagram, I hope APC’s money will never finish again Sha. The comedian that fell off and became Tinubu’s court jester. Wearing a clown costume and dancing at a roadside lounge is much more useful to your comedy career than this fear-mongering that you are doing for APC. As much as you try to scare Nigerians from Revolution, the only thing scary about you is your ugly horrible face. Your comedy career is so gone that the only thing to laugh about in your life is your laughable sycophancy of the Tinubu regime.

Your mockery of Nigerians showing solidarity to Nepal is not funny one bit. It is actually sad. It shows how a grown up man in Nigeria is so afraid of where their next meal will come from, so much that they write desperately like fools just to get crumbs from dictators like Tinubu. That thing you are afraid of will soon happen. Even if Tinubu does not do away with sycophants like you soon enough as they usually do, we will soon use the fire that the youths of Nepal ‘lighted’ on their government building to light the burning sticks for Aso Rock where your paymaster resides. The cycle of exploitation that your master has continued to unleash in Nigerians after he stole our democracy in 2023 can only lead to that revolution very soon.

Revolution is not an end in itself. Revolution is always messy, but it is the dirty soil where freedom will be planted. There will be violence, and there might be hijack or repression. There will be chaos. There can be criminality. But a revolution’s main feature is solidarity, collective identity and political awakening. This is necessary in a country where you and your master continue to use divisive ethnic politics to keep the Nigerian people down. No matter how much people like you try to magnify the minute messy parts of the Revolution in Nepal or Libya, the main parts where the people got politically awakened and came together in solidarity is not something you or anyone can erase.

Nobody is regretting this revolution. The resistance of the people of Nepal and the people of the world generally can subside for a while. Nepal has had 14 government since 2008, and none of them finished their term. The people are persistent and they will keep getting more radical.

Intellectually lazy people like you will quickly resort to politically manipulative arguments about stability, but you’re just being foolish. If you think submitting yourself to a corrupt elite that fights each other everyday of their life over sharing formula is more stable, then you’re actually more foolish than Gehgeh.

The absence of revolution does not bring peace. It will only entrench a violence that is more insidious. The severe hunger and unemployment in Nigeria right now, is more violent than any revolution can be. The rife insecurity and despair in Nigeria right now is more violent than any revolution can be. Those of us who solidarise with Nepal will continue to choose unstable progress over the social stagnation we experience under Tinubu.
