Its Time for a Revolution in Nigeria

A Revolution according to the Oxford Concise English dictionary is among other things - a dramatic and wide reaching change.
I am now convinced that the leadership of Nigeria, be it in government, politics, commerce or industry lack the will to fight corruption, our national malaise. This is evident when you consider that succesive governments since our return to democracy have failed to deal decisively with the problem.
I am now calling for a sudden and wide reaching change that comes not from our leadership, but from the grass roots, a revolution. We must take up the fight, our leaders won't.
It starts with a zero tolerance for the corrupt. We can do it using this wonderful tool, the internet, we must expose and harass the corrupt out of office. Send your ideas, send your stories and let's begin the fight.
