1. There are no angels & saints in leadership in Nigeria. Only lesser devils. There are no coincidences. Everything’s been prearranged. All you see around you in 9ja, is designed. Events of 20.10.2020 is no different.

2. From the ‘Asaba Massacre’ & the ‘Biafra Genocide’ by Gowon’s forces, to the killing of the Shiites in Zaria, down to the most insane, violent & chaotic suppression of the #EndSARS protests. Nigeria is a huge crime scene, the political & tribal mafia reign supreme.

3. You just have to manage your expectations. It’s easy to commit Genocides in Africa & go scot-free. Value for life in Africa, especially in mother country Nigeria, is ZERO!!

4. But ‘ideas’ don’t die easily. Like a seed, an idea is that tiny spark however minute it might be, it can bring down an empire.

In good as well as in evil, ideas germinate upon contact with humans. Christianity turned the Roman Empire upside down, perhaps on its knees.

5. The enlightenment & Industries revolutionized the West. Civil Rights Movement shaped the United States. Confucianism moulded China. Slave trade interrupted the history of African Colonies.

Throughout millennia, people have tried to destroy or subvert an idea to their own use.

6. Many have tried to bend ideas to their own Will. There are no shortage of weapons, plot & manipulation of public opinions, destruction of monuments, burning of art, banning of teachings, execution of thinkers,

7. hunting & burning of women as witches (for crimes they couldn’t have committed), suppression of Cathari Christians & the Templar Knights for heresy, massacre of the innocents, of populations in the form of genocides.

Methods employed to prevent the spread of “unwanted ideas.”

8. A typical example was seen in the suppression of the unorthodox ideas of the Aristocratic thinkers & their ‘knowledge’ in Ancient Greece.

The thought of letting people lash onto knowledge in the form of ‘Philosophy’ was morally & socially threatening.

9. It threatened tradition & religion. Philosophy was in direct conflict with the gods.

Thinkers like ‘Socrates’ didn’t deny the existence of the gods, but he harped on the ability of humans to shape their own destinies.

10. Socrates ideas was insane & blasphemous at the time, it was seen as challenging the traditional role of the gods, & the punishment was death.

Ancient Greek authorities tried to wipeout this act of open rebellion against the gods. But you don’t get rid of ‘ideas’ overnight.

11. Like the violent suppression of the Templars by King Philip of France & his pawn (Pope Clement V), Nigerian authorities, (now specifically the Nigerian Army), tried to suppress our voices by killing dozens of #EndSARS peaceful protesters at the Lekki Tollgate, on 20.10.2020.

12. They did the most unthinkable, “they tried to wipe it from history & from memory.”

Nigeria tried to make the #EndSARS #LekkiMassacre disappear overnight, by hunting down most of us, jailing our comrades, my generation.

13. They paid mischievous lowlifes, journalists & stomach celebrities to question our sanity. They asked us; “where are the dead bodies?”

DJ Switch was forced to leave Nigeria for her own safety. “But I am glad she told our story on her IG Live, she tells our stories still.”

14. Some of us are still languishing in jails across Nigeria. They are in jail for staging the peaceful #EndSARS, #EndPoliceBrutality protests. It doesn’t end here.

Bank accounts of protesters was frozen, blocked by the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

15. Meffy is the Czar who is yet to freeze the bank accounts of the sponsors of the Boko Haram, of banditry & of violent extremism.

These are dark days in Nigeria. The clouds hovering around Nigeria is ominous, as it is dark. It’s perilous time Nigerians are facing.

16. Dealt with the forces of hunger & starvation, of Buharinomics & of premium gaslighting, the Czarists will tolerate no bonfires, no protests.

Nigerians are expected to live in peace under great fear. In what is best described as the Pax Nigeriana, — “Nigerian peace.”

17. Czarists won’t have their authoritas questioned. They feel their Empire is only just beginning. But they can’t get rid of the “Soro Soke Idea” planted in our hearts.

Soro Soke, translated into “Speak out,” is an idea ideating in the hearts of those who want a NEW NIGERIA!!

18. They can’t break our spirits & determination to see this Great New Nation. We are the Coconut Head Generation, the Unsullied!!

The force of a Thousand Army birth in camaraderie & cloaked in the undying spirits of our fallen heroes.

19. We shall not will our Human & Civil Rights to them. We refuse to succumb to the whims of men who don’t know any better!!

Today is the ONE MEMEORIAL of those we lost in the fields. Those that paid the ultimate price for our struggle & the freedom we fight for.

20. We are the people they left behind to carry on the torch of the Soro Soke Idea & of a fire burning so bright with luminescence that gives out the shimmer of ‘truths’ that will last out the ages.

21. I only fear we might be faced with an Achilles heel. This weakness I fear is the disunity or divisions we now face.

If we are to achieve much with the #EndSARS, & really honor the memories of our lost brothers & sisters, then we must UNITE. We have much to gain in unity.

22. United we stand, divided we fall. Brothers, sisters, today is a reminder of why we FIGHT!

If we are to keep a lasting #EndSARSMemorial & Memorabilia in our consciousnesses, then we must learn to keep grudges & the records of past misdeeds of our leaders, close to our hearts.

23. We have to erect an effigy of Buhari, Burutai, Tinubu & Sanwo Olu in our consciousnesses, for the next generation. We must pass it on as a legacy that stands the text of time.

#OccupyLekkiTollGate #EndSARSMemorial #LekkiMassacre #EndSARS

24. Let their effigies be our rage & the beginnings (not the end), of all our tomorrow. Today is the reason we take a stand!! #EndSARS is a marathon, not a sprint!!✊✊
