I will like to make an unpopular appeal to the most vocal amongst the organizers of #EndSARS protest, please it's time to develop a line of command. The life of every protester that died would be demanded from @MBuhari but you are also culpable because you call them out 😔
Please, don't lead people to protest in places you know will endanger their lives. Police stations or police headquarters is not a good idea in my opinion, except it's about ego. Please, please & please, allow commonsense to prevail
No matter what happens, there will be tomorrow & a dead person cannot be part of it. Police force presently is like & injured viper. If you expect the mentality will change overnight, then you are been childish. Please for the sake of your love ones, be circumspect
The blood of any young man or woman you put in harms way because of your ego is on your head

WHY I RETIRE FROM PROTEST

The was nothing that gave me kick like protest growing up. All my teenage & early adulthood was under d military rule & there is always one reason or d other to take to the street. I grew up reading abt pple like Gani Fawehinmi & I wanted to b like them
I was always against injustice, in my secondary school days, I don't usually mind serving punishment alone by tearing the noise makers list if I feel someone's name is unjustly penned down. I stupidly see myself as a sort of Messiah
I remember when June 12 was annulled, I felt the whole country should be burnt down. I remember my joy with hardship caused fuel scarcity resulting from Frank Kokori led PENGASSAN strike. Though far from Lagos the centre of all protest, my parents were so scared of me

Now that the temper is calming down gradually, maybe it's time to also talk about the attitude of the average Nigerian that is always looking for shortcut. The Nigerian that feel more comfortable to offer bribe than renewing his/her license.
The Nigerian that always feel he/she is above the law & therefore cannot b subjected to interrogation by d police. The Nigerian that is intrinsically lawless. D Nigerian that doesn't obey traffic. That Nigerian is who gave birth to SARS or whatever atrocity you see in the police
The bloodthirsty policemen, the corrupt politicians, the lazy civil servants, the dishonest men/women of God, the yahoo boys etc are mirrors showing us who we are as a people. Until we all decide to change our ways, nothing will work in this country

Let me try a follow up on my tweet on 5G, EM spectrum & #CONVID19 from professional point of view. I will try to use layman language as much as possible for us to understand.
1stly, what is 5G? This is the 5th generation network. The advent of information age started with the 1st generation analog mobile communication in the 80s. This is followed by digital mobile communication in the 90s referred to as 2nd generation 2G, then 3G, 4G & now 5G.
Everything from ELF to radar waves is often referred to as microwave in the electromagnetic spectrum. That's my area of specialization. Also, from ELF to ultraviolet, except the upper part of ultraviolet that overlap with x-ray is referred to as non-ionizing radiation.

Someone deelly involve in military operation against BH for years shared the information below 👇 with me in DM. Unfortunately, he can't be mentioned here.

Everything you stated about our war with BHT is true!.

Chad has been giving BHT cover and it is believed there's a gentleman agreement that BHT doesnt carry out attacks on civilian populated areas in chad.
BHT breaking into splinter groups and there constant skirmishes with ISWAP has led to chaos and many cells carrying out solo operations which led to the attack on chadian troops

A colleague of mine called to in4m me that he defended his PhD yesterday & I have bn over d moon since. He graduated with 3rd class bcos he ws a spoilt child, he got a job he wasn't qualified for bcos of his connection but faced d worst discrimination any can face at workplace
He was employed b4 me but I was his direct boss. I ws warned by our boss nt 2 ever showed him anything bcos his a northerner & ws not qualified to b employed but I saw a human being eager to correct his past mistakes. We published ova 15 journal papers in less than 5yrs together
He ws d best research assistant anybody can pray for. He also bcame my most intimate friend. He decided 2 do his PG diploma & graduated as d best. He went in 4 his masters & finished as the best. He worked wth NASA & NOAA scientist in US in course of his PhD & showed he is d best

I often disagree with @MBuhari on most of his political decisions. How on earth as a politician would you come to power & retain the appointees of your opponent? How will you allow rogues to hijack the NASS because you don't want to interfere?
How would you allow your performing MoF to be stampeded out of office because of NYSC when you can call the director & give him a directive in her favor? How can you allow your SGF to be stampeded out of office because of less than #300million when previous SGF embezzled billions
How can you allow INEC chairman you appointed almost run your party out of town? How can you allow the judiciary free rein that they are so bold to give judgement against your party at will? This is not democracy or usage of power in Nigeria's context
