A revolution is coming…Egypt holds the hammer and it has been cocked, Nigeria is the trigger, here it comes. Imagine Africa taking the form of a revolver pistol: Egypt takes the position of the hinge holding the hammer, Nigeria takes the position of the trigger, Southern Africa is the barrel and South Africa is the muzzle. I see a vision. I see Africa taking its position- the sit of action on a world-wide platform. It is a prophesy. It is coming to pass in our time. The recent uprising in Egypt is a prophesy fulfilled, and something unusual is about to happen in Nigeria. It shall trigger a revolution. Our world shall never be the same again.
You need not believe these words, you need not rise from your sit and slumber; not everyone is meant to be a soldier, not everyone has the eyes of Àsá (the Eagle) and not everyone is destined to carry a saber. Some are just made to sitback and watch in wonder, while someothers mount their horses and race for yonder.
It may be with the oncoming elections in April and it may come as a later event, nevertheless, MARK YE MY WORDS…. A REVOLUTION HAS COME AND OUR WORLD SHALL NO MORE BE THE SAME. AFRICA ARISE FOR YOUR TIME HAS COME, NIGERIA ARISE FOR THE HAMMER IS COCKED! There is no sitting on the fence, you are either here OR there. Here, I drop my pen and let the revolution commence.

R @feeldflow you been seeing things?
Lol yeah Hg have been seeing things bruv
and they’re really real @dapxin
This is quite interesting. I will watch out for events in this line.
I told Aljazeera of recent that Nigeria is an overblown baloon; it will soon burst. It has been against tyranic presidents in other countries but it will take a turn in Nigeria as it wll be against the idle and selfish men who ar slumbering and wasting our future in the National Assembly, the legislators. We’ll soon send em out.
@ Akingobos…thanks…I agree with you brother…it will surely happen and it’s going to shake this corrupt government to its very root…we’ve infact waited for too long,bt it’s definitely worth the patience.
Last night my 15year old bro said in prayers ” we don’t need a new year’s resolution, but lord give us a revolution in our hearts and minds”. I admired his wisdom not minding from where he might have acquired that notion. Folarin ,your revelation has just gladdened my heart but i must add that in this war/fight as far as Nigeria is concerned we must be wise and intent in choosing our weapons. “So help us God”
@ Blessing…wow…your brother is amazing…such profound wisdom on the lips of a child…yes, you are right that we must be wise in choosing our weapons. But come to think of it, what IF no other weapon is able to bring about a revolution in Nigeria except that of physical war? Then WHAT DO WE DO? Just a thought though…and I pray it doesn’t get to that. Thanks for the note.
