When @naijama speaks about protests,you dare not argue with such a veteran. Here is her intervention:
“And though a wilder, demagogic element began to take over #EndSARS  after the protesters’ demands were MET, ...” note the key word DEMAGOGIC, look up the meaning of the word 👇
She went further ..
“insisting on blocking all roads and attacking police etc”Now pls note that she didn’t use the word “hoodlums”as being responsible for the burning and looting but WILDER demagogic elements! contrary to what the enablers of these demagoguery want us to believe
She also noted that the demands of the #EndSARS were met and so all rational people who supported those early demands are united on this fact. What do we ask for: Prosecution of these demagogic elements who proceeded to turn the protest to insurrection by seeking to overthrow an

We just lost @aledeh to the terror group. This guy was surprisingly with Nigeria during the #EndSarsNow insurrection and honestly I was shocked then. But what will a journalist who live on blog eat? how much can a blog fetch in Nigeria? even @DeleMomodu has to be doing interview
with @nairamarley to survive. Is he back from the Ghana hustle yet? @abati1990 has to join his grandchildren on @ARISEtv to augment he get from the little adverts on his blog. Don’t blame Sulaiman, he has a family to feed. If he writes the truth during those difficult days and

It's a sad thing that the police, army and civilian have the same enemy, the government.
@PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy, The government puts you on the streets, risk your life to kill your sons, daughters, brothers and sisters.
They pinned you against the people you swore to protect(your families), while you kill another colleague's sons and daughters, your colleague is also onto yours and if not your colleagues then the mob.
It may seem to u that u are following orders but orders are not valid when it's against code of conduct, orders are not valid when it turns u against ur families, orders are not valid when it turns u against ur country and let me remind u, ur obligation is to d ppl and not d govt

My Crazy Thoughts On #Lekki

When the #EndSARS protests began, no one mentioned President @MBuhari

(Thread)
But, just like aides of Governor @senatorbenayade often find a way to make others opinions seem like direct attacks on their principal, apologists and handlers of the @NGRPresident did same.
Minister Lai Mohammed succeeded in selling the narrative to the press that protests were hijacked and it was bought hook, line and sinker! What a spin! That was to justify what will happen next especially as the seemingly facelessness of the protests made negotiations difficult!

The government of Nigeria has declared war on its own citizens. The African Union and ECOWAS must call on President Buhari to stop the killing immediately.
#EndSARS
Nigerian siblings, I'm grieving and raging with you today. They will not silence you with bullets. So much love✊🏾💚

#SarsMustEnd
This is a deeply disappointing response from ECOWAS, that reads as if it was drafted by the Buhari administration. ECOWAS blames peaceful, unarmed protestors for the bullets that Nigerian military are firing at them. #EndSARS

Dear Southern Youths,

You got it twisted when you assume an average Northern youth is supporting Buhari's gross incompetence. Some of us started criticizing PMB's administration as far back as late 2015. As I write, Buhari is under heavy attack in most of our local... #EndSARS
...radio stations in North. Radio is the most widely use means of communication in North.

Most of us believe in one Nigeria and we believe that this old generation doesn't have what it takes to actualize Nigeria of our dream. United we stand, divided we fall...#EndSARS
Hate will only take us back. We are not on street because we believe the government respons to five main demands of #EndSarsNow are appropriate. We gave them benefit of doubt.

On the issue of most appointment to Northerners, I can assure you that majority of the appointees...

Was just thinking about the #EndsSARS #EndSWAT #EndPoliceBrutality #EndBadGovernmentinNIGERIA and a question seem to be coming up in my mind.

In the bid of solving a problem we create another. Come to think of it most of the officers in #SARS have being living large on stolen money...in my vicinity they go about with their own PoS to extort their victims no need to follow you reach ATM
They have upgraded heavily...Now a lot of them live on over #500k a month...and we all know with this kind of lifestyle and affluence cum their qualification and all, there is virtually no job they can do to keep up with this level of lifestyle (income).

1. A friend of mine had a brother who told his parents he wasn't going to school. My friend went ahead and studied law in uni. But His brother chose to join motor parks boys, and became 'Yes' boys for politicians
#EndSWAT @henryshield
2. He boasted to their parents that he was going to be more successful than the one who went to school. He gave many examples of people who went to school and have no jobs. He said the only way to make it here is the path he chose...@segalink

1. Over the past one week, I have quietly listened to the voice of the younger generation. It has become clear to everyone that the Youths in Nigeria have found their voice and activated their energy for massive social reforms in Nigeria.
2. Their bravery, commitment and the leadership they have shown with a high degree of accountability shows these are serious minded and a very intelligent group of people.
3. Let me start with my personal experience with the SARs group also. Sometime last year I got a call from my wife that she had been arrested and taken to the Police station.

Some of the reasons the youths are risking their lives to protest:👇
''*IFEOMA ABUGU, 20, a young lady who had just graduated and was in NYSC, was arrested in place of her fiancee at his residence in Lokogoma, Abuja. Ifeoma was sexually assaulted and later died in SARS custody
a day after she was arrested. Justice has not prevailed.
*GODGIFT FERGUSON EKERETE ,24 ,TONY ORUAMA ,21, HARRY ATARIA, 26, were arrested during a raid and then killed in detention that same day on 3 July 2008. They were falsely accused of being armed robbers and cultists.
The police officers responsible are still freely roaming.
*KOLADE JOHNSON, was killed on the 31st March 2019 by a SARS officer, for ‘looking like a fraudster’. He left his home to watch a Liverpool vs Tottenham Spurs match and never returned. The officer responsible still roams

WHY PROTESTERS ARE STILL ON THE STREETS, AND HOW TO MAKE THEM LEAVE.
Ok. Let's put this in simple English. So that they can understand us.

It is a thread. 👇👇
Let us start with why we do not accept the President's and IGP's assurances.
1. You have made at least 6 promises over the last 4 years on the subject. Not a single action was ever taken. These guys come back stronger and worse.
#EndSarsNow #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria
2. The recommendations of the 2018 Presidential Panel on Police Reforms have not been implemented. You set up the panel, empowered them, accepted their report, promised to implement all the recommendations, but failed to implement.

Le mouvement #EndSarsNow a débuté la semaine dernière sur les réseaux sociaux, mais la contestation est plus ancienne

Back when the Europeans owned black people as slaves in the Americas, especially North America, these slaves were split into "House Negroes" & "Field Negroes."

The Field Negro worked in the cotton fields. Conditions were harsh & brutal. Horrific weather conditions, whippings...
...& hunger was the order of the day. Life was brutal for the Field Negro & (s)he constantly looked for avenues to escape. It was brutal. Life was horrible for the Field Negro.

Then you had the House Negro. (S)he worked inside the house with the Master. Conditions were good...
...Matter of fact; conditions were great! Whippings were minimal, scraps from the Master's table, leftovers from the Master's plate, cool air away from the sun; life was great! So they got thrashed a couple of times or got raped. It was a small price to pay for the "comfort."...

1. Airports is a National Strategic Security Asset.
2. We have a reason why we have a Airport Commandant in the airports.
3. Airforce base in on that same route, the family of officers have a right to move freely.
4. Your video is not conclusive.
The #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria protesters have been largely peaceful, all of you staying behind your gadgets and encouraging them to storm the Airports and strategic assets. You are plotting serious escalations, sadly innocent people are dying on both sides.
We all agree @MBuhari and @PoliceNG made a mess of this protest and they should be held accountable but protest organisers also have the responsibility and duty of care to people who join them, keep safe and don't give this mad dogs any excuse.
Learn from other protests.
