Organising Nigerian Voters at the State and Local Levels of Governance

state and local levels

The 20 million+ voter force goal of the RevNig Movement (RevNig) is designed not only as a platform for Nigerians to act and force reforms at the federal level of government but also to enforce changes at the state and local levels of governance.

For example, in the 2016 Edo State governorship election, 1,779,738 (about 1.7 million) in the state registered to vote. Still, only 613,244 voted, leaving out 1,166,494 (about 1.6m) non-voters that could make a big difference, especially when the winner of the election won by a popular vote of just 253,173. Added to this is the number of unregistered voters that cut across all the federation states.

Also, states and local governments have a sizable number of the youth population whose votes alone can win elections. These levels of government have citizens in the diaspora who can persuade dependants back home to vote for credible candidates. They have, as well, internet users who will help spread the message and sway elections in favour of responsible and responsive leaders.

On this note, RevNig urges citizens of each state and local government to organise themselves into credible voters force that will elect men of honour who will serve their interests.

Through the RevNig Movement, Nigerians will be able to actualise their dreams. Collectively, we will vote in unison to change leadership at all levels of authority in Nigeria. Remember,

Democracy breaks down when the average person feels their voice doesn’t matter“–Barack Obama.

Calling on Nigerian Youths to Rise Up and Take Their Destinies in Their Hands

Envisaging and Overcoming Possible Obstacles to our Revolutionary Ideals

Reaching Out to the Gangsters That are Destroying Nigeria

Calling on Nigerian Youths to Rise Up and Take Their Destinies into Their Hands

Nigerian youths

Nigerian youngsters, who are the bedrock of the Nigerian economy, are schemed out of governance by the older class who have destroyed the nation since Independence. This scheming must stop now! The RevNig Movement (RevNig) calls on Nigerian youths to use their numeric advantage to take charge of their destinies.

Nigeria became the largest economy in Africa a few years ago, based majorly on the contributions of the younger generation. The entertainment and telecommunication sectors and the more than $24 billion yearly remittances from abroad, propelled primarily by the youth population, are the three major sectors of the economy that pushed Nigeria into the most outstanding economy in Africa. 

While the youths bring their hard-earned and much needed foreign exchange into the country, on the other hand, Nigeria’s so-called leaders loot the nation’s resources abroad. Resources that would have complemented remittances to make Nigeria one of the strongest economies in the world, ending the misery brought to Nigerians by self-centred leaders.

RevNig calls on Nigerian youths at home and abroad to use their numeric power to change their fate in our quest for responsible and responsive leaders. The 2015 State of the World Population estimated the population of youngsters in Nigeria at 86,194,823 (about 86 million). This figure is more than the total number of registered voters (68,833,476) in Nigeria and almost three times the total number of votes cast in the 2015 general elections–29,432,083 (about 29 million). More so now that Nigeria’s population is estimated to be more than 200 million in 2022. This youth population implies that if Nigerian youths refused to sell their conscience and vote wisely, they could determine who serves or represents us—considering that the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the 2015 presidential election with less than 16 million votes.

Furthermore, every Nigerian age 25 and above is eligible to seek an elective position or a political appointment. Nigerian youths must not shy away from their responsibilities. They will, at least, do better than the so-called leaders of today, whose only experience is how to loot money and rig elections.

Nigerian youths interested in elective positions or government appointments should join other intellectuals at home and abroad and online in creating awareness for themselves–introducing themselves and their ideology to Nigerians through their websites, blogs, or social media accounts. RevNig will call on you to be nominated, elected or appointed based on your ideas, expertise, and qualification through opinion polls.

Never again must any Nigerian youth stay aloof while the actions and inactions of our leaders are destroying their lives.

Many Nigerian youths are driven into lives of enslavement, immorality and crime at home and abroad because of the harsh economic situation perpetuated by our so-called leaders. Resources that would have given them a better life are stolen, resulting in hunger and starvation. As such, Nigerian youths embrace prostitution, drug dealing, 419, terrorism, the sale of their body parts like the kidney and the like to survive. Those who would rather die seeking greener pasture abroad than die–all the same–at home are daily meeting their death when passing through the desert or crossing the sea.

If Nigerian youths want to avert the even darker future that awaits them, they must register to vote and join the 20 million+ voters goal of the RevNig Movement. It is time the youths changed their destinies for good. In the words of Yakubu Dogara, who is part of the failed leadership in Nigeria also:

This country belongs to you but it’s under the stranglehold of men and women of a generation that have overreached itself. the truth is that nothing will be ceded or conceded to your generation without a fight.

Envisaging and Overcoming Possible Obstacles to Our Revolutionary Ideals

possible obstacles

Fellow Nigerians, the ultimate power to change Nigeria for good lies in our hands. If we use our electoral power wisely, we will be able to determine who serves us and how. Together, we will always overcome any obstacles and select the right people who will genuinely rescue the nation, irrespective of the political platform they belong to or the ideology they uphold.

With the power of a 20 million+ voters’ force, we will have political parties, politicians, and other leaders kowtowing to the people’s demands if they need votes. We will only embrace candidates that agree with the ideals of the RevNig Movement (RevNig).

Fellow Nigerians, despite having the power of the people behind us, it is essential to be aware of possible obstacles that may come our way in our revolutionary drive to rid Nigeria of evil personified leaders. The following are obstacles we may encounter and how to avoid them.

Financing an electoral campaign

The major obstacle we may encounter is funding electioneering campaigns. Candidates will be able to finance electoral activities with a bit of token from each of us and international donors. For example, if 10 million out of the expected RevNig’s 20 million+ voter force at home and abroad donate $10 each to a candidate, this will amount to $100 million. This sum of money will pay for a presidential campaign.

This fundraising idea applies to Federal, state, legislative and local government chairmanship elections.

Fellow Nigerians, a $10 donation to candidates during elections—once or twice a year, is less than what some pay as offering or as tithes to religious organisations weekly or monthly. This sum is what some of us use in smoking and drinking daily, weekly or monthly. It is time we endeavoured to open our pocket to the most critical need of our time—salvaging Nigeria from the hands of crooks parading themselves as leaders.

Changing the mentality of the electorates

Another obstacle that we will overcome is changing the vote-selling mentality of the Nigerian voters, voters who sacrifice the betterment of their future and that of the younger generations for peanuts—as little as 5000 naira.

We will overcome this unfortunate obstacle if concerned Nigerians, at home and abroad, take time to lecture each other about what we are losing by selling our votes.

Nigerians must understand that they are forsaking their security, affordable healthcare, education and general well-being for peanuts by selling their votes. They must know that they are surrendering good roads, potable water supply and regular power supply for pennies. Above all, they must realise that they are ceding the nation’s long-term peace and prosperity for instant gratification.

Fellow Nigerians, the power is in our hands; we must use it now! In the words of Nelson Mandela:

There is no easy way to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.”

Reaching Out to the Gangsters That are Destroying Nigeria

The ReVNigeria Movement (RevNig) is also reaching out to the cabal of political crooks holding Nigeria hostage: Gangsters that are far less than 0.5% of the nation’s population.

We call on these so-called leaders to understand now that their time is up. That it is time they put Nigeria first. That it is high time they outgrew their stupidity and waywardness and stop stealing the wealth of their fatherland to develop other lands.

If they do not want to be on the wrong side of history, they must start making up for the ills they have caused Nigeria by paving the way for the ideals of RevNig to thrive.

To pave the way for a reliable path to Nigeria’s rebirth, RevNig demands that Nigeria’s political, traditional and religious institutions embrace the ideals of the RevNig movement if they sincerely want the betterment of Nigeria.

If they ignore these demands, they are destined to be consigned to the dustbin of history. With or without their embrace, but with the power of the people exercised through the RevNig Movement, we will accomplish our mission sooner than later. According to Martin Luther King Jr:

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Join the movement today!

Mission 2: Reaching Out to Responsive and Responsible Nigerians to Lead

responsible NigeriansThe RevNig Movement is reaching out to responsible Nigerians across the country and beyond, asking them to come out of their shells to help build a peaceful and prosperous nation. Patriotic intellectuals and experts who are ready to make selfless sacrifices in line with the ideals of the RevNig Movement. 21th-century thinkers and innovators who know what it takes to run a country. We of the RevNig Movement are imploring them to come out, get organised, and be ready to take over from the cabal that has hijacked Nigeria’s progress since Independence.

Despite the ruinous activities of our so-called leaders that have given Nigeria an irresponsible image abroad, there remain some men of honour and intellect who honestly wish the country well.

Responsible Nigerians abound at home and abroad. We listen to them on TV, on the internet, on the street and over the radio. What has been missing is a platform where they can bind and organise, making their talents, ideas, and dreams known, The RevNig Movement is providing them with that platform today. A platform to help make their dreams come true: No more excuses. Through the RevNig Movement, credible candidates will get the backing of the projected 20 million+ RevNig supporters, raising funds through them and getting them to embrace their ideas toward getting nominated as well as getting elected.

We of the RevNig Movement implore prospective office holders to do the following as soon as possible:

To start reaching out to Nigerians — selling their ideas and stating their positions on matters of national, continental and international affairs.

To reach out to like-minded patriots in pursuance of ideologically based political parties that will revolutionise and solidify Nigeria’s fragile democracy.

To show Nigerians how their government will look like by constituting a government in waiting with capable men of honour.

Finally, to help promote the ideals of the RevNig Movement: The power of the people.
