AT LEKKI TOLL GATE
When I offered a few a place to sleep, many of the online propagandists who continually heat up the polity with incitements were tweeting "why ladies?" As small as the offer is, this is what others and churches saw and started asking people to come for shelter.

@UN

@UN's Declaration on the Protection of Women and Children in Emergency and Armed Conflict stipulates priority protection of women and children. International Committee of Red Cross has its equivalent (30-10-85 article, No. 248) for priority first aid treatment. Its common sense!

Ironically, its women who started querying why women, before men. This is d extent to which many stoking this fury are ignorant and tweeting it from their homes when these people are in peril.
I'm not in Lagos, talk more of being at the place I asked people to run to for shelter.

#ENDSARS- IN BUHARI'S FAVOUR
The seat of the president isn’t as powerful in a federal democracy as we often think, except d occupier is brazenly tyrant. Buhari's sarcastic emphasis and throat clearing, when announcing d amount NASS appropriated to itself for 2021 buttresses this.

If there's no #EndSARS protest and the arrest of erring policemen are ordered, there would have been conspiracy theories saying it's a move targeted at "Christian" policemen, seeing that many of the policemen accused of being brutal are Christians of southern extraction.

If govt had gone after CSP James Nwafor who was accused of killing one Chijioke Iloanya, there'd have being questions asked about other killer policemen in the West or elsewhere who aren't Igbos. Now it seems #EndSARS is louder than the usual ethnic jingoism or religious bigotry.

THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO NIGERIA
Everything should be done to encourage youth's freedom of expression, but how did #EndSARS protests across Nigeria become a battle of wits between "generations?" I belong to Gen X. If we did nothing under soldiers, there'd have been no Nigeria.

There's nothing legitimate about disparaging one generation or another. The part that surprised me most is how the 'baby boomers' are trying to outdo themselves at given validity to the narratives that "except for those protesting now, all other generations have failed Nigeria."

Its a thing of pride to see @falzthebahdguy & the brains behind @feminist_co enter into the trenches where Gani, Fela, Beko, Soyinka, Saro-wiwa, Kokori, Tony Fash had passed many nights before. Sowore is on this list too, even if the engine oil in his head is now due for change.

SARS WAS NEVER MEANT TO FIGHT ROBBERY
That SARS should end shouldnt have been up for debate if Nigerians know that SARS was d Police wing of Ibrahim Maradona Babangida's terror machination, set up to crush prodemocracy agitations in 1992, before the eventual 1993 June 12 impasse.

Its true that Danladi Mirenda gave d coinage 'SARS' to his team when he was moved from Benin to Lagos in 1992, but this team were men from FCID, Adeniji Adele, Zone 2 Anti-Robbery & State CID Panti. These anti-robbery units were already doing hatchet jobs for Halilu Akilu's DMI.

Publishers of TELL Magazine will have a full library compliment of how SARS in 1992 hounded Gani, Beko, Mayegun and others at the peak of Babangida's scheme to transform himself into a civilian President, after the sham elections that gave majority seats to his front party, NRC.

@MBuhari

NIGERIAN POLICE POULTRY OF BAD EGGS
Dear President @MBuhari
I expect that the current @PoliceNG IGP, Mohammed Adamu would have been sacked long ago. In Nigeria's 60yrs after independence, there was never a time @PoliceNG has been this useless, bereft & brazenly criminal. #EndSARS

@PoliceNG

Everything isn't politics. Its sheer madness to have made the allusion that a vast majority of @PoliceNG are patriotic. An aide in Aso rock must have made that up. A vast majority are maniacal crooks! Nigeria will likely be safer if the entire @PoliceNG is disbanded this moment.

@PoliceNG

I saw a tweet with photo props that IGP is briefing the President on @PoliceNG reforms. That's the 'razzest' joke from @MBuhari's media aides.
@PoliceNG that cannot complete a uniform switch, about 10yrs after the blue uniform was deployed. Some wear blue, some still wear black.

FOOD 4 THOUGHT
I had an experience last year that I now feel at ease to share.
A lady on this app made me an offer to be part of a project. I followed her narrative cautiously, parting with a preliminary sum I didnt find hard to overlook, till I was able to meet d project owners.

It turned out the person directly in charge of the project was my student at Specialist College, Ogba.
I taught him and his immediate junior sister, who is now a medical doctor, maths, physics, and chemistry, for 2years. I later got to know the lady that introduced me is his Ex.

We chatted about how this lady that introduced me is always aggressive about deals.
Then he confessed he had told her not to bring me, that the project offtakers are complete, but she wants him to play along so as to get the non refundable registration fee of N1Million from me.
