#EndSARS protesters have played into government hand despite continous warning that this will happen & all gained in the past few days is lost. Kindly bookmark this tweet

You can still salvage what is left if you stop making life difficult for other citizens by blocking road & organize yourself into a group government can dialogue with

Government will tell you that counter protesters also have right, that is true. The moment you start having clash between the two groups then government has an alibi to clamp down

Let me once more appeal to youths remaining on the street to back down for the promise reforms to commence. Please allow that little voice of reasoning to prevail

If you don't, I see some of these happening any moment from now:
1. Counter protests will start, they also have right to protest, sponsored or not
2. Anarchy would ensure
3. Some would be injured, some would die
4. Government would send out security to quell the crisis

5. Those you hate to see would still be in power
6. Police would not be reformed
7. You would hardly laboured in vain

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

@MBuhari

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

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.
