Arise Oh Compatriots, A Call To Action By Usama Dandare

  Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny, And in this judgement there is no partiality. So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle, Cause that's the only way we can overcome our little trouble. Bob Marley

“Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land.
Arise oh compatriots
Nigeria’s call obey”

My fellow Nigerians, it is with dire pain that I come to you.
It is for the love of you, that I besiege thee.
Let not my love be in vain.
If love for the motherland is my destruction,
Let me know I die for a lost cause.
We are being attacked,
Our country is at war.
As such we have a flaw,
Our enemies are pushing further and deeper into our lines.
And we are running with our tails in our behinds,
Soldiers at the frontiers have grown weary.
Our citizenry have become teary,
But I shall echo the sounds of our great anthem.
“:Arise Oh compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey”

My fellow Nigerians, The nukes of distrust, poverty, and corruption hurt us, and we claim to have no option.
Facilities are destroyed.
Our toil has been toyed.
Our people flee the infections.
In Diaspora we seek solutions.
In this Great War, we are defeated by saboteurs.
Yes, saboteurs, that choose to run and abandon our futures.
Saboteurs, whose greed have eaten rotten the fabric of our society.
Of which nationalism and honor are not a priority.
We must rid ourselves of these traitors,
Each one us shall be facilitators.

“Nigeria we Hail thee”

My fellow Nigerians, the time to strike is now.
Lay down your greed and take a bow,
Honesty, honor and dignity
Are what we need to cure our impunity.
Innovation and not devastation,
Actions not words,
Diligence not nagging.
The system does not work, but who will fix it?
I ask whose country is It?
Join in the Nigerian Revolution.
There in we shall find our solution.
"Arise oh the Nigerian youths"

     The gospel declares that man's hope is not to be found in evolution but in revolution - revolution that is inward and spiritual.
"Arise oh the Nigerian youths"

    You live in a dark, bleak society of ruin and forgotten splendors. The strong oppress the weak and the rich abuse the poor. Knowledge is feared and ignorance embraced. Society has fractured, turning once strong communities into eagle eyed strangers watching each others every move. Adhering to curfews, although not legally enforced are recommended for those who wish to survive in this world.

Our country is grim but there are some who have had enough of the doom and gloom. These rare individuals take up lives devoted to overthrowing the dark shroud of fear that grips the land, spelunking forgotten citadels in the hopes of recovering the fabled Relics that kept the ancient world in a state of order. So far, only one relic has ever been found (Occupy Nigeria).
"Arise oh the Nigerian youths"

    To serve our fathers land and uphold her honour and glory. As we all know, that 'Rome was not built in a day, to build a nation where peace and justice reign, surely must need a sacrifice. Nothing seems to be possible for me to be faithful, loyal and honest or to serve Nigeria with all my strength.

   Nothing short of total repudiation of our entrenched systems can rescue Nigeria. We are under the control of a two-headed, one party political system. Cabals controls our financial lives; the media manipulates our minds. These systems cannot be changed from within. There is no alternative. Without a revolution, these institutions will bankrupt the country, keep fighting failed wars. Start new ones, and hold us in perpetual intellectual subjugation.

   Our country is restless, and ripe for radical reform. There is no doubt protests will proliferate and intensify. In response, the government will call out the troops and bring in the police. They will use the Patriot Act to silence, detain, harass, kill, persecute and prosecute groups and individuals exercising their Constitutional rights. I am ready to die for my generations to be happy, what ever they want to do, i don't care.

   I am calling for a Revolution. I ask Nigerian citizens to free their minds from the tyranny of 'Dumb Think.' This is a revolution about manning the barricades not thinking. It's about brute force not brain power.
For any society to survive and grow, it must wake up and grow up. Nigerians must acknowledge what their opinions are based on, who they listen to ... and why.
"Arise oh the Nigerian youths"

     Who do the people listen to? A closed circuit of familiar faces guaranteed to take predictable positions. Authorities on nothing, yet pronouncing upon everything; a cadre of media aristocrats, pretending they're the people's voices.
  
    Those who make peaceful change impossible, will make violent change inevitable.
It's either they breaks the eggs and the chicks hatches or a fire breathing dragon breaks the coconut and the water spills.

  Sadly, the Nigerian youths just sat back cowardly watching evils in leadership, allowing themselves to be pestle-wielding critics, unrelenting, self-appointed activists for nothing, the idle and idling, twittering, collective children of anger, distracted crowd of Facebook addicts, BBM-pinging soap, opera gossipers.
"Arise oh the Nigerian youths"

     We have no other country except Nigeria. We have been suffering in silence while our Leaders put our future in their bank accounts. How can we remain like this? How can a youth go to school and suffered to graduate at the end no job? You are almost 40 and still your future is as bleak as a dark room. Remember, a fool at forty is a fool for ever.
Let us come out all and say No. We must not remain like this, we cannot all travel abroad to find a better life, our better life is here in our country.

     We have the money, oil and resources but only a few have continue to suck it dry why we keep believing God for a change, wake up now. We say NO, we will destroy this country and rebuild it afresh, we will Kill those who stand our way as they are considered enemies.
"Arise oh the Nigerian Youths"

     A man cannot have billions while millions of youths roam the streets every day looking for daily bread. Our young men must not all be kidnappers, our young girls must not all be prostitutes.
The time has come for us to react, the only way our Government listens is violence, they have shown it to the Niger delta militants and now they are planning to show it to the boko harams.
 whereas a simple gesture of N20,000 per month to the unemployed is rejected and you pay militants N75,000 per month. How much do they pay as minimum wage? How much do they pay to elected officers? we are going to revolt. Nigeria will burn to be rebuilt again like Libya, Iraq, Egypt and Tunisia. Unless you want to die in poverty in a country where God has destined all of us to be happy and prosperous.

   Those who say no are cowards, idiots, enemies of progress, devils, corrupt, looters, oil thieves, faithless, mindless, heartless, illiterates, ignorants, fools, and saboteurs. Enough is enough in this country, we must fight to regain our lost values, we must set Nigeria on the right track, we must chase evils out of our system, we must fight for our right, we must fight for our freedom.
"Arise oh the Nigerian youths"

"Brother, you're right, you're right,
You're right, you're right, you're so right!
We gon' fight, we'll have to fight,
We gonna fight, fight for our rights!.
Bob Marley
