Re: EndSars protest memorial How to Protest Effectively without public uproar or violence: Public uprising and uproar often seem to be the swift means upset and angry masses seem to resort to when they don't agree with government agencies and unfair policies. In some cases it's effective, but in other cases, it either devolves into a full scale riot that negates the law or an outright breakdown of law and order. In the some cases, the purpose of protesting is lost or blighted if we can't say defeated. However the case may be; public protest is categorized as active aggression, the results of active aggression may be good sometimes but when active aggression fails "passive aggression" will yield better results. Since it's against human nature and human rights to live a life without any form of aggressive behavior, here are a few ways to protest effectively but non violently against unfair and unjust government policies. 1. TACTICAL SILENCE: believe it or not, silence is a powerful weapon of protest when noise doesn't work. Sometimes, noise makes the oppressor become bolder. Silence in situations that should evoke riot and chaos intimidates the oppressor. But silence doesn't work in all cases. 2. BOYCOTTING: It amazes me that People often complain and nag about negligence on the part of their leaders but show up in large throngs during bribe sharing campaigns, owambe parties, etc If you don't like how you're being treated by them, boycott their rallies and social extravaganzas. That is a very strong form of protest. 3. REJECTING SOME GIFTS AND AWARDS: During the GEJ administration, some notable national icons such as Prof. Sole Soyinka and co. rejected national awards presented to them by the presidency in protest of the bad and sad state of the nation as at that time. Activist Gani Fawehinmi rejected the SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) award presented to him and labelled himself (Senior Advocate for the Masses) a national title I gladly bear. So rejection of such can be a means of protest, in a Moses like fashion. Honor is not what you see on Tv, honor is a virtue that speaks when the TV shows are done. 4. SOLIDARITY ACTION: This is a unified action by lots and lots of people at the same time that turns out to be a form of protest when held on for an extended period of time, for example if lots of People of African Ancestry begin to chant via their actions: "Black does not mean lack" it will change the perception of the black race for good. 5. CHANGE OF MINDSET: Sometimes the reason why oppression seems so obvious to the oppressed is and only is the kind of mindset they have. One of most the powerful ways to overcome oppression from your mindset is to say "I am not the type that can be oppressed" say that a thousand times and call me to testify. Don't forget to sow a little seed of freedom from oppression while you do so ![]() 6. PRAYERS AND CONGRUENT ACTIONS: It amazes me these days that some are of the opinions that prayers shouldn't be top therapy on the list of panaceas to national problems. Beloved, some national issues in history saw no end until the People gathered and prayed. Remember; that the only thing that nullifies answerable prayers is failure to take congruent actions. What are congruent actions? These are actions that agree with your prayers. It's not enough to pray for business success on Saturday, pray for business success and open your shop by 7am on Monday. That is called congruent actions. Pray for good leaders, then don't accept bribes and vote for the right candidate who will (can is not enough) do the work. Pray without ceasing. 7. TIME AND PATIENCE: Some wrong things don't change automatically, trying to force change too immediately often provokes negative clapbacks. If palm oil has become too expensive and you want to cut costs, trying to rush the growth of your palm trees may kill them. Wait patiently for time. 8. Protest Peacefully by all means, if a public protest must take place. Remain Blessed; For more articles like this follow up on Social Media.
