Your title got me running down here. Well, I know that Nigeria needs a tough determined leadership to move forward but brutality isn't really the answer. I love the plans you have but the approach is no longer used in modern days. You can read the 33 strategy of war and you will hear Robert Greene mentioned it that you should prefer intellect and strategy over brutality and force.
If you used brutality, you won't know when you have over stepped the mark, leading to war and rebellion and innocent lives slaughtered then you will end up like the rest of the dictators.
You make very cogent points and I agree about the dangers of violence begetting violence. However, look at the state of the country. It is the way it is because the people in power know they will never suffer any consequences for their endless legion of crimes. They can spend our schools and roads and electricity and environmental protection "abandex" on homes in Dubai and private jets and Swiss bank accounts and they continue to do so and we just sit here and do nothing. They fly private jets and leave Dana Airlines for us, their kids go to school in UK and leave hot Agbani sun for us, they fly to India and America for medical appointments and leave us to die in emergency room for lack of 5000 naira!!!
Nna eh!
Our hair is on fire and we are combing it while the people with matches enjoy Ghana-must-go millions and billions. We are already in a drastic situation, moderate action will not move that needle.
And the title was very deliberately chosen for that reason hahaha
I completely agree, violence is hard to stop and hard to justify if you make a mistake. Very sensible arguments.
