Yenn yenn yenn you love Jerry Rawlings and what he did in Ghana but if dem say make them sacrifice Obasanjo, IBB and Gowon for Nigeria now, the same you will CC USA and Cambodia.
Let's be managing awa gelede democracy je jely. You have no idea the sacrifice Ghana made to be here
The bloodletting for change of the 70's and 80's and the days are idealistic but proven to be unsustainable even with the emergence of strong Leaders. Building strong sustainable institutions with the people resolving to change is the way out. Rawlings himself realised that.
Ghana didn't just change because of all the killings perpetuated by Rawlings. Ghana changed because Ghanaians resolved to change, the difference being Nigerians want change but Nigerians don't want to change.
Nigerians blame everyone but themselves for Nigeria's challenges.
So before you start advocating for "Nigerian Rawlings". Make sure you dust your history books, it could entail executing 90% of past and present public office holders without trial, your fathers, sisters, brothers, in laws, tribes men, church member, mosque leader. ARE YOU READY?
I didn't add @MBuhari ? Oh yes and I didn't add @GEJonathan but that is exactly my point.
The debate of who to give the Rawlings treatment is part of the reason I question your yen yen yen desire for a Rawlings method in Nigeria.

Dear @NGRPresident @MBuhari

Was that a speech?

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Questions that should be answered soon.

Does the Nigerian State have the capability to stop the carnage, particularly in Lagos?

If yes, when will the full might of the State be deployed in an effective but humane way to stop the state of anarchy in Lagos and other States?
If the Nigerian State does not have the capabilities

A. Immediately take the streets from criminals.
B. Restore law and order.
C. Identify/Prosecute Security officers who misused their power by violating rules of engagement and executing peaceful #EndSARS protesters.

PART 2 of Thread!

🇳🇬👮🏿

As Young Nigerians continue to lead #EndSars #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria

Yesterday, a @PoliceNG Officer opened up about his experience. I have since had conversations with 3 other officers.

*Statements not independently verified.

Key points here. 👇🏿
I will call this particular @PoliceNG Whistle-blower Officer A. He's based in one of the South West State, ranked as a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP).
"This ( #EndSARS ) protest is the best thing that has happened to the force, tell them to take inventory of custody files"
"We write the name of suspect on ledger, if your DPO is corrupt, you will have 2 custody ledger, one is for official, the other one is for suspect that will roga *bribe and then they will be released, so it is like they never came to station" Officer A @PoliceNG #EndSARS

Thread! @PoliceNG Officer Speaks on #EndSars #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria

So a Compatriot who is serving in the Nigerian Police got in touch with me. The officer requested that the publication of the flowing, this was after a 30 minutes plus conversation on @telegram app. 👇🏿🇳🇬
For safety I will keep the name of the @PoliceNG officer out out. Hoping @NGRPresident and the Police can take note and verify independently.
1. The extortion of members of the public including #SARS is not with the @PoliceNG personnel on the road, it is institutional.
2. He claims @PoliceNG Commissioner's embezzles security vote meant for the upkeep of operational officers. Police divisions are meant to get welfare funds but it never trickles down to low ranking officers who now buy their own uniform, fuel car from funds extorted from public

Be Vigilant!

So those provocative post's are from cloned @Twitter handles.

A fake Aisha Yesufu handle posted an old interview of Femi Adesina he granted @channelstv during the #RevolutionNow protest and presented it as Femi on #EndSARS. Fake handle created feb 2020.👇⁉️
Be Vigilant!

Be Vigilant!
So those provocative post's are from cloned @Twitter handles.
A fake Mc Macaroni handle posted the attack on #EndSARS protesters in Abuja and gave it an ethnic coloration by labelling it Hausa Fulani attack.
It appears coordinated and well organised
A lot of @Twitter accounts opened in 2019 and 2020 are flooding timeliness.

To be safe, check a profile before you RT or respond to a provocative post or insult. You might be dealing with characters organised to spread misinformation or bait you into anger.

@Murtalaibin

1. Airports is a National Strategic Security Asset.
2. We have a reason why we have a Airport Commandant in the airports.
3. Airforce base in on that same route, the family of officers have a right to move freely.
4. Your video is not conclusive.
The #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria protesters have been largely peaceful, all of you staying behind your gadgets and encouraging them to storm the Airports and strategic assets. You are plotting serious escalations, sadly innocent people are dying on both sides.
We all agree @MBuhari and @PoliceNG made a mess of this protest and they should be held accountable but protest organisers also have the responsibility and duty of care to people who join them, keep safe and don't give this mad dogs any excuse.
Learn from other protests.

On going protest across Nigeria against @PoliceNG brutality.

#SARS had been disbanded 4 times in 4 years but still operational.

Beyond an effective ban. Here are some of the short term actions the Nigerian government can take. 👇🏿
1. Immediately establish an independent public enquiry to be televised live, victims should be able to give open testimony and indicted @PoliceNG officers prosecuted.
2. Immediate audit and inspection of @PoliceNG SARS detention facilities across Nigeria by independent commission
3. Compensation to identified victims, immediate dismissal and were possible prosecution of officers who may have betrayed the trust to protect and serve the public.

4. Engage with members of various communities and pressure groups on police reform.
