Let me say this to all young people in APC,talk to yourself. Organize for the battle ahead. The contest in APC has started, it is between Reformers and Anti-Reformers, it will come in the shape of personality war but not so.Those who want reforms in the party should braze up.
They will make it look like it is a fight between Tinubu and others but NO, it is not. It is between a small group of Governors who want to control the party and those who think the party must be controlled by the people. It is between those who want Direct Primaries and those
who want to be buying delegates with money. Today, the party has no Youth Wing, the Women Wing is paralyzed hence when our government came under attack in the past week,it’s flanks were left open,the President was left alone and his Vice,they were defended by Volunteers only.
The party must reform,this party must not be allowed to self-destruct. A coalition of young people driven by core ideology must emerge and take the party away from the buccaneers who seek to take the party away from the founding objectives of progressive governance. Organize!

My father was a Cocoa farmer,I grew up in a village,my Mother is 78 years old and she has been in business from when I was a kid, we had good education and they never worked for government. Ask your father who was a civil servant how he got money to buy a house in Lekki? If your
Mother was a civil servant, ask her how she got the money to send you to private university. My mother did co-operative and daily contribution to help her husband, I was never part of your problem. If you protest in Lekki, ask your parents who retired from government if he never
collected bribe! If you think am@the reason you don’t have job you must be a fool. Go back home and ask your parents who are politicians. Ask them what was their role. My father was a decent man and my mothers her helpmeet. Nigeria don’t have power but your Dad help destroy NEPA

I don’t work for government and never held political office but my children don’t have another passport.There will be a law to regulate Social Media,if you like set fire on the Atlantic Ocean,but before you burn Nigeria and run to your country you will have to cross our barriers
A child that says his mother will not sleep will not also slumber, we have entered the same trouser. What the elders used to eat pap is kept under the leaf,there are millions of young people over there who are not part of your madness who are daily looking for raise themselves.
You live with your parents in countries where there are rules but want to burn Nigeria with fake news,it will not happen. If you think you are smarter than your father,go tell him. There will be consequences for deliberate falsehood and liars will go to jail. ImageImageImageImage

A legitimate protest against police brutality was mismanaged by sub-literate celebrities. If you don’t define your victory before a protest you won’t know when you have victory. You said you don’t have a job but you burnt the economy that can get you the job.Let us rebuild Lagos.
You think we hate you? Noo. We love you more than you love yourself! But in your childish belligerency being egged on by people with a hidden agenda,you refused all suggestions. My Way or No Way lead to nowhere. As things are today,we may have to beg the police to come safe us.
This city will rise again but the consequence of your actions will linger for years,many have been added to the unemployment market already, many won’t get a job because of their digital footprints,after all who will employ a First Class graduate whose Twitter page was deployed

A LEADERLESS MOVEMENT first if it’s kind in the world was created by Nigerian Youth in Lagos to pursue a legitimate demand,it’s demands succeeded in the first 24 hours but we knew it will fail on the long run. We knew because history does not support what they tried to do. Asked
about who thought them,they said we should keep quiet. Where did you learn this?Is it the Black Civil Rights Movement in the US,the African National Congress in South Africa,the Palestine Liberation Organization or the Nigerian Youth Movement?Whoever thought you this failed you.
How do you create a movement without leaders? not even the contemporary protest movements,have you heard about the Orange Movement in Ukraine? what about the Yellow and the Red Shirts in Thailand? Not even the Hong Kong protesters espoused this theory,some of you even told us of

It is easy for our compatriots to blame Lagos for encouraging the protest. We are Yoruba people,we tolerate dissent, we encourage and allow alternative views and opinions to prosper. We are accommodating and unjealous of others.We didn’t make ourselves this way,we are who we are.
Those who are students’ of history will recognize the role of Lagos in the struggle for independence,our cities were the theatre of battles against oppressive military dictatorships,we are just who we are,not created to be subservient. In all these we also create rooms for people
creativity to thrive. We can’t kill decent no matter how attractive such options were but we have also in the process made ourselves the target of envious enemies and betrayed by allies,that is what our history have taught us, but we will not be other people, we will be us!

The last 48 hours have been the most painful in all my life. I have heard less than 5 hours of sleep. May God console all the families of the victims of this protest. How Lagos became a defenseless and center of war in the last 24 hours is a shock to many of us, the attack
on the infrastructure that make Lagos to be Lagos,the pride of Nigeria and home to all Nigerians seems to be a deliberate and well coordinated efforts of enemies.Lagos has long be a subject of envy by people who do not wish the SW well,such envy has been camouflaged in hush tones
how a national protest can be so localized in the destruction of properties and investments that provides thousands of employment to people,a transport systems that provide comfort in its uniqueness and more importantly,the disruption of an economy that is yet to recover from
