The Imperative of a Bloody Revolution in Nigeria - Prof. Nwabueze

Nwabueze, alarmed at the rate of corruption in the system, argued that only a bloody revolution can halt the decadence in governance.
He expressed shock at "the looting spree" in the National Assembly (NASS) “where lawmakers vote billions of Naira to themselves while those who voted them into the House live in abject poverty
“People who were voted to serve the country go there to loot – you need to know what we (members of PAC) now know.”
Nwabueze announced that the deterioration in the state of affairs is such that Nigeria has been listed among the 11 failed states in Africa and among the 17 in the world.
Arguing in favour of a violent revolution, he claimed that France is what it is today because of the success of the 1789 revolution in that country.
“I don’t believe in small changes; we’ve had ad hoc arrangements; Nigeria needs a revolutionary change, and it has to be bloody. Those who survive it will pick up the pieces. I cannot see Nigeria survive any other way.”
