Many young Nigerians are asking two important questions after the recent elections:
1. Did my vote count? 2. Why should I participate in this flawed process again?
Let's address these questions one by one.
Yes, your votes counted, and your efforts alongside millions of young Nigerians did not go to waste.

Buhari spent over 200 days on constant medical trips abroad.
He is responsible for our current state of insecurity, as he was never present as President.
He was sick before 2015 elections, but APC covered, packaged, & dumped him on the country.
The leadership vacuum he created encouraged insecurity.
And a lot of people benefited from Buhari’s absence. They benefited from your poverty, joblessness, the deaths of innocent Nigerians!
As if that isn’t enough, APC is packaging another sick man for you.

If you don’t have a PVC:
Tips to avoid being extorted by the Nigerian Police, especially this season:
1. It’s important not to be scared as they feed on your fear, naivety & at times, ignorance of human rights. 2. Get a 2nd phone that will ALWAYS stay home. Put all your bank/crypto apps in it & only
go out with the money you need. 3. If you smoke, don’t even take your lighter etc out. 4. Ask for their ID first whenever they stop you, take note of names and ID number (in case they end up extorting you). 5. Whenever they ask to search you, make sure they don’t have anything

Anyway, I don’t think Taooma & the rest should be canceled, or went for brown envelopes.
It’s not also fair to ask them to be “Activists”.
They don’t need permission to meet with Osinbajo. But, don't say "I was there to speak truth to power" when you actually weren’t.
You can’t also choose how people will react.
Many are angry as a result of bad governance, the incessant killings, the lackadaisical attitude of the government.

My baby, Danny Walter @DW3663 just sent me one million naira for my birthday 😭😭🥰
This life, just have rich friends >>>
I have been begging for a Gold chain since last month 😭😂
Last year, I was a stubborn, fervent, young woman with a heart full of hope & ready to fight irregardless of the consequences.
I fought the battle of my life alongside millions of young Nigerians.
As we fought to #EndSARS, we also fought for the soul of the country. For once, it felt like the fault lines were shifting & our voices would be respected.
Sure, we were fueled by pain, but in the faces of thousands of young people across many rally points, hope came alive.

Check this thread for protest locations outside Nigeria.
For far too long, we have allowed the Buhari administration dismiss & downplay the impact & reach of social media on our culture, governance & economy.
We let them lie blatantly about how we were simply wasting our time, called us miscreants, tried to delegitimize our collective power to advocate for ourselves on a global platform. We persevered, we mobilized, we crowdfunded, we advocated.
