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
When you started to gather at Lekki and Alausa, we told you what to do but because you come from homes where your mums act as Landlord because your Dad was busy stealing money to train you abroad,you lack discipline. You think we will give you space to burn Nigeria? Forgerrit.
@davido grandfather was a Senator in 1979, his Uncle was a Governor in 1992 and 2015,another one was also a Senator in 2017, he was nicknamed Ade Dancer, ask him what development they brought to Osun but he was at Lekki with you! If you cross my TL be careful am not your kind.
and a Senator in 2015*

My generation was shaped by lot of myths about leaders we held in awe. Right from when we were in Form 3,we were told Dr.Nnamdi Azikiwe was the first and only Nigerian to score 6 Distinctions in WASCE. So every brilliant pupil in Form 5 always have the record of Azikiwe to beat.
We were also told that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was so intelligent that Russia has made payment for his brain after his death,so much that in 1983 just before the election,we ‘saw’ his image and that of his wife right inside the moon! The mystery of this event was how the entire SW
was engulfed by this news and it appeared in Tribune the second day. We read about the brilliance of Col.Odimegwu Ojukwu who has to correct his Sgt.Major on how to pronounce‘safety cap’ while training as a recruit in the army. We had role models,we grew up trying to be like them.
78 souls ‘massacred’ in Lekki,you soaked our flag with blood @obyezeks have not stopped crying @UtomiPat planted flower in memory of the ‘dead’!these Mischievous children are evil,how will you travel to Maldives for birthday party in the middle of mourning if you are not a Witch.
We thought you will stand by those families that the crooked Falana says are afraid to come out.Your duty is to assure them t that their dead relatives will not resurrect like the others.But you don’t care,you want to go and party after burning Lagos? You are nothing but evil.
The anger in many is that in all these you didn’t show remorse for the businesses you destroyed,for the job loss and for the many who may never recover. We told those poor kids who joined your protest thinking that you are fighting for them. Now you have shown them that you are
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.
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.
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
