PLANNED PROTEST: EKO O NI GBAGBAKUGBA

By Olaseni O. Egbeyemi

It has been widely circulated that some groups are planning what they term a "Mega Protest." Every Nigerian, regardless of where they live, has the right to protest against injustice.

The current situation affecting the standard of living is dire and disheartening. The high cost of food and essential items is appalling, and the masses are suffering.

It is often said that a hungry man is an angry man. People are genuinely hungry and angry. When pushed to the brink, they are likely to react in ways they may not be able to control.

We have witnessed both peaceful and violent protests in Nigeria. The last End SARS protest was particularly intense and destructive, resulting in significant loss of lives and properties. During that protest, organized by the youths, several lessons were learned by the organizers, the government, and the general public. Unfortunately, some elements used the protest as a cover for vindictiveness and the destruction of government and private properties.

In the end, it was revealed that the protest had sinister motives with political undertones.

The regrouping of certain elements in and around Lagos to organize another protest is uncalled for. Yes, the masses are hungry and angry, but it is alleged that some individuals, mainly from a specific section of the country, are calling for these protests as a continuation of their unfinished End SARS agenda, which caused chaos in parts of the country.

Anyone willing to protest should do so in their states of origin. "Our Lagos" is a center of excellence, not a center of destruction.

The Lagos State Government, security agencies, and responsible citizens should condemn and prevent these plans. Many have come to Lagos seeking greener pastures and have found success here. Destroying Lagos or targeting properties for destruction should not be tolerated.

The efforts of government to alleviate this suffering should be supported and encouraged, not called into question with another destructive protest. Nigeria is not Kenya. Lagos is not Nairobi.

We must protect the Lagos we inherited and continue to prosper in it. We cannot stand by while those who left their villages to thrive in Lagos rise to destroy it.

"Eko o ni gbagbakugba"

Let the protesters go to their villages and protest there, not in "OUR LAGOS." The right to protest is not the right to destroy.

E FI EKO SILE... EKO O NI BAJE, O BAJE TI.

LAGOS IS RISING.

Rest o

Who the fk is the racist arsehole who wrote this bullsheet? What does he look like so protestors can make sure to "Greet" him, Kenyan Style on their way to protest the looters they have in their government? Imagine the blatant attempt to make what is racist propaganda seem official! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Very useless idiat .. ..

According to ur logic, people who are being ravaged by hunger should go to their villages/states to protest but when ur state need allocation, ur governor goes to Abuja.

When u need money, u go and sell Niger Delta's oil ......
