From the look of things, Omoyele Sowore – SaharaReporters’ publisher, may likely end up behind bars for a very long time like Dasuki and El-Zakzaky.

No doubt, his call for a revolution, which the authorities interpreted as ‘regime change’, may have landed him into trouble. But this is not the reason I am writing this piece.

To put it matter-of-factly, this call for revolution sounded, to me, suspicious and ‘dangerous’, and here are my reasons:

First, like the braggadocious and rodomontade Nnamdi Kanu who misled many of his kinsmen and suddenly escape to Isreal at a time the country was almost on fire, this same people calling for revolution will eventually flee the country as soon as the revolution turns bloody and Nigerians begin to slaughter one other.

Second, the likes of Sowore should know that there are some evil people waiting to hijack this revolution (should it happen) and turn it into religious or ethnic or intrastate war. And believe me, Nigeria will not survive a second civil war. Any full blown war now would not only lead to the complete disintegration of Nigeria but will also lead to the death of many Nigerians. And take it or leave it, the disintegration of Nigeria could signal the end of Africa.

Third, the likes of Sowore should also know that Nigeria is currently at war with extremists, and Jihadists will quickly capitalise on the attendant chaos and anarchy such revolution will throw the country into by launching massive attacks on key infrastructures of government in order to cripple the country, either economically or militarily, like they (Jihadists) immediately did in Libya during the 2011 Arab Spring revolution which swept away Muammar Gaddafi.

The Arab Spring revolution, which first started in Tunisia, led to armed rebellion and eventual full-scale civil war that is currently engulfing Syria. This is because the enemies of Syria and Jihadists movements like ISIS capitalised on the Syrian crisis and eventually made Syria ungovernable and as one of the most dangerous places on earth today.

Therefore, Nigeria cannot afford to go the way of Libya and Syria. Nigerians should resist any attempt by any individual or group of persons or foreign elements to cause the disintegration of the country. If such happens, what is happening in Libya and Syria today will be a child’s play.

You could imagine the regrets going through the minds of many Libyans and Syrians today. Only few days ago, the Prime Minister of Libya, Fayez Mustafa al-Sarraj, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to use Nigeria’s position to restore peace in his country, Libya.

Nigerians should be wise and learn from history.

Hold your governors accountable and don’t call Buhari’s name when you allow them to misappropriate the fund. Be the watch dog!
