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

Bitterness criminals want to steal from innocent people and burn down good infrastructure, that they don't have in there erosion villages in the name of protest security should use live bullet on any criminal immediately

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 ......

The two sentences in your write up contradict each other because if I have a right to protest, then I should protest exactly where the hunger caught me - Lagos.

The only way there shouldn't be a protest is IF there is no hunger in Lagos.



This is a simple way to quickly dissect illiterate posts.

Politicians are jittery... The end is near

We don't hear you. List the Yoruba organisers then so we know them.

Shebi na so you lot were "not interested" in #EndSARS protest while Mefor was issuing the Taqiyah incendiary 'rules of engagement instructions to Igbos shown below and Chinasa Michael was burning BRT Park in Ojota at the behest of Kanu.

I do wish you people will learn to shut up sometime because reality and historical occurences always discredit what you say to damn you as deceitful hypocrites.

Lol. Nairaland Professor, do you know what a racist is to understand you cannot use the term for black on black matter?

They are definitely paying off touts to further distract the Nigerian people from the important issues before them even today. And the sad reality is all the money being spent on these touts is stolen from the Nigerian people by these twats and scammers in office.

This writer should be the dullest person of the year,
Hunger beat you for Lagos,you travel to Kastina to protest the hunger,see reasoning
A time will come when something a million times bigger than end sars will come and it will sweep all the oppressors and those profiting from this evil arrangement away

Lol, instead of you to call your leaders to do the right thing, you are telling suffering people to keep suffering?
Una go soon hear scores.

Professor, which source gave you that interpretation and what makes them right above virtually all sources that strictly categorize racism to be discrimination against others on account of their race?

Belows are some entries including those from Cambridge dictionary and Merriam-Webster.

Blind obduracy and arguing emptily is something that you have been known for like forever on Nairaland. Good to see that some things never change with some people.

Arrogance is actually of your kind even if you don't see it.

But the same so called protesters in Kenya are busy looting. I have seen a couple of videos of looters I Kenya hiding under the guise of protesting. The protesters are no different from the politician. They are just waiting for their own opportunity to grab power.

Sars cause trouble for ughelli , protest start for warri , asaba , Benin and ekpoma . Last last they say na Lagos protest .

Seems you are unemployed sir?
Everyday you wake up before 5 am and start making comments or no value on random threads from morning till night .
Seems you don't have a job because you do this everyday Monday to Sunday.
Before you start claiming to be a content creator / copy writer, I work with lots of them and none of them do this.
What do you really do for a living that you are here every working day or the week from morning till night ?


I just got to the office and first thing I see is 25 comments by you ?

What are you doing with your time at almost 40 year sof age sir ?

Dimwit. All others are like you and/or strictly 9 to 5 folks? As an example, do businessmen who engage in international trade, with different time zones of the world, observe same time as 9 to 5 workers?

Dullard stalker, try harder.
