There's the truth and there's speaking the truth with wisdom because the aim is to see a meaningful change. Do not shy away from speaking the truth and standing for it but always employ wisdom.
If the aim is to see a changed person, then sincerely advice the wrongdoer with the honest truth without the material eye (fear of losing a favor or wanting a favor) and mincing of words. But if the aim is to condemn without wanting the person's reformation, u become blame worthy
If you have a stubborn child that is wayward, you will sincerely desire his reformation & hope to see him change his ways and become a better person. In the same vein, if you have a bad government, do all you can within the ambit of the law with all sincerity to advice the leader
None of us will function well without sincere advisers whose advice we will heed. If anyone of us have any opportunity to advice those in the position of power, let us do it without attaching any ethno-religious sentiment. That will enable him to make a just decision
Ethno-religious sentiments might be real and are real but at the time of crisis, what the leaders need is a wholistic approach to issues to calm the situation. Hence, bringing ethnic or religious card on the table will numb his enthusiasm to respond. We want peace and stability.

I honestly know the efforts he (@DrIsaPantami) has been making. We pray it yields the positive result we all are desiring of.
*desirous
It is not all efforts that people are making towards advising the leaders in private to see that genuine issues affecting the lives of the citizens are addressed& chaos averted that is meant for social media to earn cheap celebrity ovation. People are silently making real efforts

I begin with the Name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
It is a brand new day here in Nigeria. Alhamdulillaah. Make sure you are in full control of your intellect and do not allow anyone to turn you into a puppet. Think for yourself and follow the right direction that will guarantee peace and prosperity.
Understand the voice that wants you to live and behave as a cultured human and the voice that wants you to die. Again, we pray the government will always ensure the security of lives and properties because that is paramount.

No peaceful protest has ever ended peacefully.
It always attracts hijackers that will turn it bloody.
Organise yourselves into reputable groups and seek for audience with your leaders to sincerely present your grievances by showing the leaders the dangers of prolonged oppression and the benefits of the reforms you are advocating for.

Do not fuel what you will not have control over if it generates and gets hijacked. Amicable resolution of issues affecting one and all is always always the best way.
Once this degenerates into a chaotic situation, you will end up battling to dissociate yourself with the violent groups. There is wisdom in approaching issues with wisdom.

Nobdoy is encouraging oppression but take wise and decisive steps that will not result in more evil.
Now with sad events unfolding, those at the forefront of the protest are now left with the pain of trying very hard to dissociate themselves with the violence that is creeping in gradually. Know when to retreat to discuss issues with maturity if u have the interest of common man

Oh Muslims! Hold onto this.

Astaghfrullah
Increase in Istighfaar and see how our national issues will be solved. A Muslim should trust in the power of Istighfaar. Seek for forgiveness from Allaah and your happiness and safety will be guaranteed in shaa Allaah.
Do not trivialize the power of Istighfaar, we need it now more than ever in this trying times in our lives as Nigerians. Oh Muslims! Hold onto it. May Allaah forgive us and rectify our affairs and make things easy for us all.
