Under posts about Nigeria’s rising insecurity, someone dropped a fiery comment: “Only a violent revolution can cure this cancer. Nigerians ought to chase out all those useless politicians and judges, burn the constitution and rewrite a new one… rebuild from scratch.”
Frustration is understandable — people are tired, scared, and exhausted by a system that keeps failing them. But calling for a violent revolution isn’t bold; it’s reckless. It glorifies destruction without considering the human cost: mass deaths, collapsed institutions, retaliation from armed groups, and a country that may never recover.
You don’t fix a broken roof by burning down the entire house with everyone inside it.
We need real reform, accountability, and leadership — not fantasies of chaos dressed up as courage. When anger pushes people to romanticize violence, that’s a red flag worth paying attention to.
