Lest We Forget

1./ Segun looked about him.

There was a new restiveness in the air. He held tight onto his large Nigerian flag. He knew it was his talisman in case things went bad. He had seen the post a few evenings ago on Twitter. He knew that the men of the Nigerian Army
2./ would not shoot at unarmed non-violent civilians waving the flag of the Federal Republic.

As the lights dimmed and darkness grew heavy. The moderators reminded everyone to sit still and make no sudden violent moves. His emotions were a cross between exhilaration
3./ at being part of history and fear as the news that soldiers were coming their way spread amongst the protesters.

He had never been the brash and bold type. More of a bookish nerdy sort. He smiled as he thought of the app he was developing with his best friend Chukwuma.

The officers stopped us. They asked us where we were coming from. We told them we were just coming from a Ball Viewing centre. They requested to see Our phones. Kenneth asked them "Why"? The officer questioning us gave him a deadly look.Before i could blink an eye,
a slap landed on his face. The officer questioning us asked him to Shut up..
I quickly gave him my phone to avoid more problems.. He went through my phone , after few minutes he returned it back.. He then asked kenneth for his phone.
Kenneth refused
saying he has to know why he must give him his phone.. What was he looking for in his phone.. And besides a police man has no business and right perusing through a civilian's phone..
An Argument started.. I begged kenneth to please give them the phone so that we can leave

Yes, 2020 has been a turbulent year but the menace associated with the Nigerian saga has nothing to do with the calendar year. Nigeria's present administration is a tale of insensitivity, wickedness and a high level of incompetence.
Six years ago, it was #BringBackOurGirls. The previous administration was castigated and labelled a failure. Till today, some of the abducted Chibok girls are nowhere to be found. The new hashtag is now #BringBackOurBoys.
Peaceful #EndSARS protests were disrupted by the #LekkiTollGateMassacre in October. Few days ago, over 40 farmers were beheaded in cold blood in a gruesome #ZabarmariMassacre and now, over 600 Kankara students are nowhere were kidnapped right under the nose of the president.

Was it not in this country that rising to take a strong stand that young women who went to school and were abducted deserved the justice of rescue by their @NGRPresident and @NigeriaGov , earned one attacks, falsehoods, impugning, arrest and detention? Itā€™s their way. Just stand!
They lied to you that reason I, your fellow citizen was determined for #JusticeOfRescue to be given abducted children is ā€œshe wants to be ministerā€, ā€œsheā€™s looking for attentionā€, ā€œshe was hired as a consultant to embarrass xyz ā€œ, ā€œ she is angry at xyzā€.
You foolishly believed.
The total lack of cognitive ability or unwillingness to connect-the-dots and see through all the lies that the two administrations of the @NigeriaGov and their allies have hurled at your fellow citizens for daring to #SpeakUp for #ChibokGirls will remain a wonder to me. Na waa.

Glad that Buhari's friend @JustinWelby, the Archbishop of Canterbury,found the decency &courage to express outrage about the #LekkitollgateMassacre.For the last 5 years thousands of innocent civilians were slaughtered under his friend's watch &he said NOTHING so what changed?1/4
..Why did he refuse speak out when others were being slaughtered?Why did he turn a blind eye to the atrocities & barbaric crimes that were being committed? Clearly he is part of the problem? When you encourage & support a tyrant it means that you are an accomplice to tyranny.2/5
..By his constant fawning &grovelling before Buhari & his unyielding love, friendship & support for him,was he not complicit in the ethnic cleansing, genocide & crimes against humanity that the President & his supporters unleashed on the Nigerian people over the last 5 years?3/5

I woke up this morning angry at two things;

1. The cowards threatening @AishaYesufu for her fierce demands for a better Nigeria.

2. Senator Ali Ndume's interview on @channelstv over the weekend.

Let me start with the masked scoundrels threatening Aisha.

#EndSARS - #Thread
In 2014, General @MBuhari, @GovKaduna Mallam @elrufai, the former national chairman of the @OfficialAPCNg, John Oyegun, and others were pictured protesting against the @GEJonathan-led govt.

#EndSARS
#LekkitollgateMassacre
#RedefineNigeria
Like the #EndSARS protests of today that @AishaYesufu is visibly part of, they tagged their protests 'salvation rally'. Their goal then was to draw global attention to the hijack of @PoliceNG by the @OfficialPDPNig govt, piloted by Jonathan.
