“The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." Dante Alighieri

By Aluu Vincent

In recent times, the Nigerian government and its sympathizers have resorted to labeling protesters as miscreants. This narrative is not only misleading but also reckless, as it undermines the legitimate concerns of citizens and diminishes their right to protest. Those who benefit from bad governance are often the ones perpetuating this narrative, as they seek to maintain the status quo and silence dissenting voices. To even think that the same disgraced and corrupt leaders severally staged protests against government of Goodluck Jonathan but are-today singing a different song, is troubling and disheartening this showing the kind of people managing our commonwealth.

On the other hand it is an act of harakiiri to accuse the ibos as sponsors of the protest. The present suffering in Nigeria does not affect only the Ibos. Accusing Mr Peter Obi and Labour Party is the case of workman arguing with his tools and lazying around. Does bad governance know race,group or political group? Is the Arewa youth group also Obidients?
Sowore is calling for Protest, Seun Kuti is calling for Protest, Sheik Gumi is calling for Protest, VeryDarkMan is callin for Protest, Deji Adeyanju is callin for protest, Market women are calling for protest. Yet a failed government and brainwashed followers are busy accusing Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour in the last election. Una go explain tire Abi cement used in building Lagos don finish?

Protesting is a fundamental right enshrined in the Nigerian constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech, assembly, and association. Citizens have the right to express their grievances and demand accountability from their government. Protest is a peaceful and democratic way to bring about change and ensure that the government serves the people. It happened recently in Kenya. When Kenyan people protested, did the leaders call them mischievous and miscreants? No the president went on to slash budgets for government officials, scrapped 48 agencies of government and lots more. It is therefore ridiculous that leaders causing bad governance are addressing those protesting as miscreants. What a sad commentary

The narrative that protesters are miscreants is a deliberate attempt to delegitimize their concerns and justify government repression. This label is often used to stereotype protesters as violent, lawless, and unpatriotic. However, this could not be further from the truth. Protesters are ordinary citizens who are demanding better governance, accountability, and transparency.

The very reasons that led to the EndSARS protests are yet to be addressed. Unemployment remains at a staggering 40%, food inflation has skyrocketed to over 1000%, and inflation is at 38%. The value of the Naira continues to deteriorate by the day, leaving citizens with little to no purchasing power. Meanwhile, leaders continue to live in affluence, earning huge salaries and benefits, while corruption persists and over 30 million Nigerians have slid into poverty due to wrong policies.

To add insult to injury, the present leaders have had their bills paid by taxes paid by the protesting youths. They have become ancestors in power, with nowhere else to go but remain and die in government. They have become a burden to the country, refusing to relinquish power and allow for fresh ideas and leadership.

Dante Alighieri it was who said, "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." This quote suggests that the most severe punishment in Hell is reserved for those who fail to take a stand or remain neutral in the face of moral crisis or injustice. It emphasizes the importance of taking a stance and acting with conviction, rather than remaining passive or neutral.

This is to remind Nigerian government and leaders who have failed to address the grievances of their citizens and have instead resorted to labeling protesters as miscreants of the consequences. By maintaining their neutrality and failing to take action, they are contributing to the perpetuation of injustice and moral crisis.

Martin Niemöller in his famous quote had Nigerian leaders in mind when he said,, “First they came for the Jews, and I did nothing.
Then they came for the communists, and I did nothing.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did nothing.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out."

There are dangers of indifference and inaction in the face of injustice, oppression and bad governance. We must speak out against the present situation in Nigeria. It is not about the Ibos, IPOB, or anyone. It is about all of us. If it affects the eye it will affect the nose

Labeling Nigerian protesters as miscreants is the height of recklessness. It undermines the legitimate concerns of citizens, diminishes their right to protest, and perpetuates bad governance. Those who benefit from bad governance must be held accountable, and their narrative must be rejected. Protesters are not miscreants; they are heroes who are demanding a better Nigeria for all. The government must address the grievances of citizens and work towards creating a more just and equitable society.

Those with the intentions of destructive protest are miscreants which would be severely dealt with.

You were not a miscreant in 2012

when you protested for weeks, you shut down the country during Jonathan's tenure

For those who don't know
Jonathan is from the South South

Helinues is a yoruba Muslim from the South West..

helinues:

Wait 😲, they is something that is recently baffling me on the way you ronu miscreants attack and reply opposing views by asking about the father of the poster or comparing the poster's father to the person the poster is having an opinion on...




Is this the new approach from your WhatsApp meetings ,?, tell them that approach is stall and shows the lack of proper parental training of the Yoruba ronu miscreants.

Helinues is a yoruba Muslim from the South West..

To be fair to him, he tactically admitted that the protests in 2012 was a Yoruba agenda against GEJ.

Though I do not totally agree with that position, it goes to show were his loyalties lie. He doesn't want a better Nigeria, he is more concerned with power residing with the Yorubas even if it means destroying Nigeria.

The reason they are warning you SE folks especially is because of what Kanu an Igbo man did in 2020, issuing orders on live broadcasts for his followers who are mostly from SE to go and burn down Lagos (a State in another region of the country). No Musa or Abdul or any Hausa man went on live radio to ask Hausa-Fulanis to burn down Lagos State like the Igbos did.

The Hausas see Lagos as the pride of Nigeria just like their Kano State..

The only people who want to attack Lagos are those from SE yet they claim Nigerians hate them.

A State that is doing well, where all tribes move in and out to do business is the target of some people.. Yet you expect Yorubas to keep mute? As fo0ls or what?.

That is the truth bro.

We have Kano, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Lagos as top cities in Nigeria.

They will never conspire to attack Kano cos they know what awaits them.. I trust my ab0ki friends to safeguard their States. I believe them diee.

They will never plan attack on Abuja.. dem no even born them well. Seat of power for a reason.

They will never go near Port Harcourt.. Ikwerres no dey use their properties or land joke with anybody.

The place they all gather to attack is Lagos in the South West region and you tell me Yorubas are not sleeping?.
I have read all their moves and I know for sure they want to repeat or possibly finish off what they started in 2020.

I used to be a fan of Sowore but not anymore.. can he go to America where he hid his own family to lead protests where State monuments will be destroyed?. Let's tell ourselves the truth so truth can set us free.
