A few notes though:

Resistance as seen in NIgeria over the last few days is not honestly comparable in strategy, will of the people and sicerity of purpose as was the case in Egypt and Tunisia last year – otherwise why has it failed?

The people are not informed – a lot of Nigerians are ignorant of what to expect from government, ignorant of the power they wield, ignorantly trusting of ‘protest leaders’ and sweet talking multiple agenda bearing protest leaders.
Here is where progressive individuals like you need to start. Inform the masses of their rights. Tell them in ways they will understand. In their dialects. With knowledge comes the power to enforce your rights and entrench true democracy, until then Nigerians will enjoy the benefits of ‘Jonacracy’.

One question though: Did the government really order a shoot at sight? If yes, it is serious and we might need to also arm the people inorder to defend themselves. However if they did not or you can not confirm that, I would suggest you rephrase that line to indicate the level of of your uncertainty of that order.
