We need this crowd, this enthusiasm, this one voice even beyond #EndSARS to change our nation, to rewrite our history.
To put to an end to every form of bad governance and leadership that has pervaded our society for too long.
With this same energy, enthusiasm Image
and magnitude of concern for this course, if the same is transfer to other issues and eventually to the ballot in 2023 then Nigeria will never remain the same again.
I have always believed that my generation will cause a radical change in our country and my vision and
believe is becoming real and gaining the momentum needed for fulfilment.

This morning, a Nigerian Police officer stabbed a young man, Wale a.k.a “Eleyele”, a tricycle rider, to death with a dagger.

Reason: Wale refused to be extorted of 50 Naira as it was the usual practice of the police officers around Ile Iwe - Command, Meiran, Lagos.
Graphic images!!
Viewer discretion is advised.

A WAKE-UP CALL TO A BETTER NIGERIAN

20-10-2021 was precisely 1 year we lost our fallen heroes to the #endsars/#endpolicebrutality where we had the Government failing us once again.

This incident is one we will never forget 😭.

#Thread
The #Endsars saga is a perfect example where the Nigerian police killed the people that they were supposed to protect simply because we were fighting a just course.

In a destabilized country where the government doesn't care for its citizens but only themselves,
Do you think they'll be able to fight for you? , provide for you? give you the necessary and basic amenities that are needed to make life pleasant for you? I am guessing you just said ‘NO’ to all these questions.

1. There are no angels & saints in leadership in Nigeria. Only lesser devils. There are no coincidences. Everything’s been prearranged. All you see around you in 9ja, is designed. Events of 20.10.2020 is no different.

#OccupyLekkiTollGate #EndSARSMemorial #LekkiMassacre #EndSARS
2. From the ‘Asaba Massacre’ & the ‘Biafra Genocide’ by Gowon’s forces, to the killing of the Shiites in Zaria, down to the most insane, violent & chaotic suppression of the #EndSARS protests. Nigeria is a huge crime scene, the political & tribal mafia reign supreme.
3. You just have to manage your expectations. It’s easy to commit Genocides in Africa & go scot-free. Value for life in Africa, especially in mother country Nigeria, is ZERO!!

1. Peace is expensive, but you don’t negotiate with Shekau nor bandits. America understands this. Does Nigeria?

Each time you open negotiations with criminals, you invite trouble, I mean big trouble. Sheikh Gumi is playing with fire. Any nation that buys peace is indebted to war
2. You cannot rule out ethnoreligious & political dimensions to this war. But the insecurity in Nigeria is largely fueled by corruption.

A police sergeant, have his 3 children in a private secondary school or a private university. Plus, he is building a duplex in the city.
3. Police officers pay huge bribes to be posted down South, to lucrative states. You cannot tell me police officers don’t know the location of some of these kidnapper’s den.

These kidnappers & bandits are well known by the police authorities. In some cases, they are protected.

THINGS WE COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY
Its time to stop making it look like #EndSARS is primarily responsible for the current spate of robbery all around us. The protest is well intentioned, but robbers now gun down bullion van in daylight. This turn of events may consume us all. Image
Its unlikely there's any living Nigerian who havent received a dose of @PoliceNG madness. But now that we are becoming estranged with many people we share banter with, over a cause that's meant to end police high-handedness; this should make us take a step back in introspection.
That somebody added Rev. Sam Adeyemi's name to a criminal complaint filed in Abuja is like an acute madness to me. The complainant also told the court, rightly so, his investments were burnt. At this point, the people we should dread most are the conspiracy theorists amongst us.

Dear #EndSARS Protesting Youth,

You may not like my face and sense of reasoning but kindly understand President Buhari's Speech beyond the spoken. Many unspoken words must be clearly understood from his speech.

👉 He has cautioned protesters against the continuation
2. of protests.

👉 Cautioned international community against hasty sanctions and judgement

Consequently, I won't be surprised if Military brutally engage protesters or hoodlums from tomorrow onwards. His were short words with pregnant tactics.
3. Believe me or not, International community will exercise caution owing to the widespread fake videos, photos,
claims and news being unravelled about the Lekki Tollgate Shootings. The government already has evidences to push forward in exonerating itself from international

URGENT CORRECTION: Brig. Gen. FRANCIS OMATA: THE HERO, NOT THE VILLAIN!

Brig. Gen. FRANCIS OMATA, Lagos Garrison, was at home when people started calling him that soldiers were at the Toll gate shooting.
He rushed to the scene and arrived about 39 mins after.
Shouting loudly, identifying himself to avoid “friendly fire”, he immediately moved to pull back the soldiers, who were from 65 Battalion Bonny camp, led by their commanding officer, one Lt Col S. O. Bello.
Lt Col Bello & his men are still writing reports as authorities
want to know who authorised this military action.
Pls IMMEDIATELY spread this. GEN. OMATA IS A HERO, NOT A KILLER! He deserves a medal, not condemnation! Don’t let an innocent man suffer for doing good! Already, even photos of his family are in circulation!

The unfortunate hijack by hoodlums who escalated ordinarily peaceful protests organised by law-abiding Ogun State youths led to tragic loss of lives and damage of public property today. Image
Some of these include the razing of Atan-Ota Police Station, death of the Divisional Crime Officer and one other victim; serious injuries to the Division Police Officer; and supremacy battles between miscreant loyalties in other locations.
My heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of every soul lost in this fracas.

Remarks by Speaker @femigbaja on the Nationwide #EndSars protest and the response of the House to the calls for wholesale reforms of the @PoliceNG

“Good morning Honourable colleagues, thank you for being here this morning.
About two weeks ago, I spoke to this honourable House about the need for urgent, substantive, and wholesale reforms of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and an overhaul of our nation’s internal security and policing framework.
This honourable House debated the failures of policing that have caused our nation’s youth to take to the streets in their numbers, demanding that Government live up to our primary obligation to ensure the security and welfare of our people.

So many tales of woe from those who have suffered terrible experiences from the hands of SARS and rather than the government to act, they have chosen to suppress what has been due for years.

People are being paid to scatter protests, “supposed” prisoners escaping...
Accounts of Nigerian citizens being blocked by the FG and many are still making excuses for the President’s silence.

Certain individuals with ideologies are sprouting and trying to smuggle another agenda to the #EndSARS.

It is well.
The other thing of note is that churches have chosen to engage in spiritual protests via prayer walks and great things are happening.

Spiritual fathers have stood up to address things in the place of prayer and though the enemy has raised its head, it shall be crushed!

I have received with serious concern, news of the developments in the protests in the Sango axis of Ogun State over the poor condition of the Federal Roads in the vital area: Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta Expressway, Ota-Idiroko, and Sango-Oju Ore roads. ImageImageImageImage
This is understandable, and no security agency will intimidate or stop any protester from making their needs known. ImageImageImageImage
However, while we have already initiated palliative works on Ota-Idiroko Road; the same thing will commence on the Ota area of Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta Expressway where more, needed materials and equipment will soon be delivered; and full reconstruction of the Sango-Joju Road is...
