Why Are The Endsars Activists And Youths Supporting Peter Obi And Not Sowore? by XXLDICK(m): 6:27am On Feb 24, 2023 |
Three years ago, there was a major protest in Nigeria, it was called EndSars. It was a protest against a wing of the Nigeria Police which was responsible for countless harassments and human rights abuses. The events of the Endsars protest are still fresh in many of our memories, but obviously, many people seem to have neglected the truth and have chosen to alter the scripts. I won't talk about the alleged Lekki toll gate massacre which no casualty has been named. People stuck to narratives that appealed to their sentiments. While many kept hurling unproven allegations at Tinubu (he sent hoodlums to disrupt the protest, and he sent soldiers to massacre people at Lekki toll gate...)they referred to Tinubu as the villain. Normal, we are used to seeing Tinubu being accused of issues that are not even remotely having anything to do with him. Tinubu had no case but was vilified while Peter Obi who was supposed to be a villain was excluded. Awkuzu SARS I recall the dreaded Awkuzu SARS. Back then in Anambra, there was a common saying that nobody goes there and comes back living or even dead because the body won't be found. Other SARS units were like saints compared to Awkwuzu SARS. We had Opkuno SARS close to us, but nobody was scared of them. They were known for grabbing people randomly at night and obtaining 5K each for their releases - "I follow or I no follow". We were rather scared of a faraway Awkuzu SARS that is likely to take one's life instead. The terror reign of Awkuzu SARS was mostly during the administration of the white-washed "saint" Peter Obi. They dared to perpetrate such crimes because they had authorization from the governor (Peter Obi). Despite Peter Obi's past antecedents, the youths found a messiah in him. The same man that used SARS to kill many youths during his regime. He even declared a shoot-at-sight on MASSOB members https://allafrica.com/stories/200606200905.html The hotel owner whose hotel was demolished by Awkwuzu SARS: https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/ex-gov-peter-obi-set-me-up-used-sars-to-demolish-my-hotel-businessman-tells-endsars-panel/ EndSARS activists EndSARS activist Most of the activists at the fore of the EndSARS protest are now at the forefront of Peter Obi's candidacy. That's where he got his momentum from. Aisha Yesufu, Macaroni, Falz, Rinu... Are all behind Peter Obi now, not Sowore. Where was Peter Obi during the EndSARS protest? Among those on the ballot, only Sowore came out to join the protest. Peter Obi wasn't there because it wasn't close to the election. Like a typical politician, Peter Obi hibernates when it isn't an election period. Be skeptical of politicians that feel your pain only during the election period. The youths that are supposed to be woke have fallen for the sweet talker that is only good at blowing his trumpet, lying and quoting mostly irrelevant figures. New order Peter Obi is branded as the new order. You want a new order, and you chose someone from the old order? ![]() ![]() And they will say Sowore should go and start as a local government chairman or a governor first before he tries the presidency. Y'all don't see the irony. 9 Likes 1 Share |

EndSars was an IPOB project.. Obi is an IPOB project.. Do the maths. They are the real urchins not those demanding good governance through credible candidates with track records. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Sowore was only capitalizing on the issue of endsarz then, moreover, the man has nothing worth it to become a president, perhaps he could be NANS president 7 Likes |

flokii:IPOB didn't start endSARS. It was collective. Yes, it got influenced by Nnamdi Kanu after he asked Igbos to destroy and kill in Lagos, but that's not the point of this article though. I'm pretty sure you are promoting Tinubu. This thread isn't for Tinubu. He may have performed well as a governor of Lagos, but he's too old and sick to be the president of Nigeria. He should go and rest. 3 Likes |

flokii: Stop reasoning like a kid.... The endsars was a revolution and this was for every Nigerian youths. The people got tired of police brutality and how SARS officials where treating Nigerians on a daily. You should never comment if you your brain easily forget things... I don't know why you have a problem with Igbos when they are only fighting for their freedom same way most Yorubas are doing. The Hausas that are not agitating is because, they're the ones in control of the government. 2 Likes |

Hopium:Laughable. How much can Obi pay me to twist my conscience? I'm very vocal both here and on twitter, supporting obi who's not even my tribesmen. Those who had fallen victim of police brutality mostly are our people after all. RIP Bolanle Raheem, who was the recent victim and co. When we gathered in protest, Tinubu, who doesn't care about the masses thought it was because of him...to threaten his utopian political ambition. He now asked sanwoolu to deploy army to disperse and kill protesters who carried no firearms but only a national flag in their hands. Obi represents the suffering masses not tribe. The experience of the 2020 lekki toll gate remains an open wound. We shall do justice with our pvcs tomorrow. God bless Nigeria 1 Like 1 Share |

flokii: We're all the endsars actors igbo? We had Yorubas and Hausas and even many tribes in the movement who stood and lend their support. Is Falz Igbo or IPOB? Aren't they supporting Obi? Obi is credible and the sensible Nigerians who sees beyond tribalism and religion or region wants a working country. Many other western African nations are supporting Obi. The very reason why you lots call him the social media president.... And I wonder if those on social media aren't real humans and if they won't go out to vote. I amd on social media and I do the campaign here a d I will also vote for Peter Obi! |

I saw this thread earlier but refuse to comment because I feel it doesn't worth it. But I decided to come back here and give my response because I know that few years from now people might now start taking such narrative as the truth. Now I want to let the op know that if he has a short memory, Nigerians don't. The reason sowore came out to join the protest was not because he believed in it. He has already previously before then been having a running battle with the Nigerian government and the DSS for various allegations. He wanted to use that protest to spite the government and turn it to his #revolutionNow that he had been fighting for. The organisers of the EndSARS saw this loop hole and they refused him from joining the protest. The video of how Sowore was chased out from EndSARS protest is on YouTube anyone can see it. If Sowore had been allowed to join the protest he would have made himself the leader, which the people did not want as at that time. Nigerians and the EndSARS organisers have tried and should be given some credit not this nonsense thread. Tomorrow is election, if you know what's good for you vote for LP. 1 Like |

JASONjnr: The brains behind the EndSars protest were mostly Igbos and some divisive elements from other parts of the country. They were providing funds for the protesters to cook jollof rice and engage in civil disobedience even after a sitting Governor declared curfew.. Falz, Marcaroni and likes are opportunists looking for fame & clout and such people are easisly used and discarded. They don't know the damage they have done to themselves yet till years from now when the people will remind them of their crimes against humanity. I'm not stopping you from voting Peter Obi, you have the right to do so as a citizen but what we will not allow is a part 2 destruction of the most progressive state in Nigeria. 3 Likes 1 Share |

flokii: You're making serial assumptions and baseless thoughts in your mind... Nigerians who came out for a peaceful protest and decided to lend their supports for the movement is what you called MOSTLY IGBO? What's your problem with Igbos? I am from the SS and I am not Igbo nor can even speak Igbo....but we're Nigerians. I work with Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas and we are Nigerians... Why do you allow politics to devide you and plant hatred for a specific region? I will not reply you again, since you have a problem with Igbos... Will definitely hinder you from objective reasoning! |
