There is storm coming – Nigerian activist lawyer Dele Farotimi forecasts revolution

A human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has predicted a terrible revolution in Nigeria, stating that a storm is coming.

In a video clip on his official X handle on Tuesday, the activist, who lamented the bad leadership in the country, enjoined citizens to unite against corrupt leaders.

He said: “There is a coming deluge; ignore it at your own peril. In 2020, the storm was not perfect because it played a religious card. We even turned the peace protest in Lagos into an IPOB operation.

“There is a storm coming and it is a perfect storm. EndSARS was just a shower; this is the time to recognize the commonalities of our afflictions. It is the time to be deliberate in uniting ourselves so that we can isolate our enemies.

“We are more than them, they belong to no tribe. Fela said, “they are beasts of no nation.” They don’t know anything about God. Those who know God will not leave you to be starving when they are spending about N90 billion to subsidize Hajj.

“The Nigerian revolution is not inevitable; it will only become a revolution, which means a change, a turnaround, when you commit to making it one.

“The difference between a revolution and anarchy is the plan for the day after the storm. There is a storm coming.”
