This Is Why I'm not Protesting

Where I'm from in Rivers state, we don't protest — we're too violent for protect. We go into riot straight and destroy.

I'm going to type fast and I won't proofread, so ignore typos.

As a kid, around 2004 or thereabout, we have this oil company called Elf, later changed to Total, in my place. Everyday, they were drilling millions of Dollar out of our community.

Yes, they pay the entire community's NEPA bill, but sometimes, NEPA gives us low voltage and our fluorescent will keep blinking.

Our elders peacefully met Total and told them we don't want NEPA, but our independent gas turbine, two for that matter, but guess what? Total was taking them for granted because it was a peaceful meeting/protest.

One day, the youth got upset, equipped themselves with charms and weapon and they went there for a riot, not a peaceful protest. The plan was to burn down the oil company and send them out.

The riot escalated and the destruction started. The military were shooting, but men didn't retreat. They shut down their production.

The destruction and looting of expensive equipment was massive. Total begged and called for MoU and agreed to build the turbines.

Today, more than a decade, my entire local government has constant light and we don't pay a dime. It took violence for our dream to be achieved.

Most of you have heard of the violence in Rivers state since 2015. Guess where it started? My community — before it expanded to other places. Every bad thing or good thing in Rivers state always start there.

Why did that violence start? Total pays the community millions every month for development, but there is this man in charge, put there by the elders, to handle the money aspect.

Sadly, we had a land case with another family because oil was discovered in that land. An elderly man died but they accused our family of being the killer and it went to court, but we weren't.

This man in charge of the millions connived with the lawyers and didn't want the case to end. They were milking the family dry with close to zero development. When I say family, I'm not referring to my surname alone, but the entire "umu+general name" as we call it.

One cult boy from the family, who's the oga of Don Wani, from another community, took it upon himself and unalived the embezzler.

I was at home the day he was killed and I heard the gunshots. They came in military uniform. Anyway, that is a long story. He's late now and his boy, Don Wani, is also late.

Violence is bad, but it's the only thing that makes a corrupt Nigerian in power become scared of stealing public fund.

The next person that took over that embezzler's position is transparent now because he's scared of being visited by bad boys if he misappropriates the money.

Corrupt people can be transparent if they know the repercussion is death of themselves or their loved ones.

Total, on the other hand, is afraid of taking light because bad boys might steal transformers and armoured cable and they must replace or repair it FAST before boys will enter street and start a riot — they know what boys are capable of even in the presence of well-equipped military men.

A year or two after Total built those turbines, AGIP was sent a letter to build too and without hesitation, MoU was written and they did. They used what happened to Total as a lesson.

Where am I driving at with this story?

1. Bad boys do fight for people's freedom too until they begin to feel untouchable and start committing crimes that don't favour the community.

2. When a Nigerian is in power and everyone is submissive, he becomes abusive, authoritative and feels untouchable. This is when the people will suffer because he knows everyone is toothless. This is why we need bad boys who are fearless and ready to risk their lives to save the community from corrupt tyrants.

3. Until our politicians become scared of death or are put in a position where they narrowly escaped death from angry youths, they'll NEVER change. Those who have experienced near death experience always realize life is not all about being richer than everyone and stealing from our common wealth.

These people realize life is more important and anything. Our Nigerian politicians have not been put in this position, so they'll keep being corrupt. The bad boys that are supposed to put fear of death in them have become their boys because of money.

Money, is truly the root of all evil. The reason Nigerians and Nigerian politicians are corrupt is because of money and our bad boys who are supposed to put fear in them have been bought over. So, e go tay before Naija for beta.

Peaceful protest can't solve Nigeria's problem. I learned this from experience from childhood. If not for violence, my community wouldn't have free light, free education, abroad schools, free water, etc. RIP to those that died for this to be achieved.

So, for Nigeria to be great, there must be bad boys who have good intentions for progress of the nation and politicians must fear them based on their past records.

Unfortunately, all our bad boys with good intentions, Asari, Tompolo, Ateke, etc. have been bought by politicians and now, they have become selfish and dropped the struggle. Money is more than the root of evil, but destruction of a society.

With the above, I want to tell you that I won't participate in any peaceful protest. I'm lying on my bed while it rains as I trade crypto. I don't want peace. It never works.

Where I'm from, we only partake in violent riots. After the bloodshed, comes the change and revolution.

It's better to be feared than to be respected. Fear brings CHANGES while respect bring ADULATION.

In Nigeria, we want change, not adulation.

To those of you going for the peaceful protest, I wish you the best. Just know that whatever changes the government makes because if this peaceful protest, it will be reverted in a year so that you'll come back for another protest because they make money allocating funds for anti-protest protest.

Do you know how many billions or millions some politicians have made from this anti-protest protest?

I don't advocate violence, but it's what my community used to achieve what the youths of today now enjoys in my entire local government. If not for violence, the Niger Delta won't be paid 13%.

Corrupt people see peaceful people as fools they can easily manipulate. Have you ever wondered why women always sleep, date, or marry ugly bad boys? They don't want peace — it's boring. Kenya will achieve more after their protest than Nigeria.

So, make I just lie down for this bed, under this rain, dey make my money in peace. I have started longing BTC from 64k and I'm currently in profit. Peaceful protest? Count me out.

“From the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force."

This is where you are ignorant. Tony discontentment is the seed that later evolves into mega revolt. Watch the entire Nigerian political system collapse in some years from now from the built up of these protests. We have seen this in the spirit for many years now. So the protest is on track towards its target though later in the years

I get your point. The initiative is good, but until it turns violent, it won't amount to anything in the long run.

I'm not preaching violence, but from experience, it's the only thing corrupt people fear because they don't want to die too early and leave their stolen wealth behind or watch their material possessions get burnt by angry youths.

I've made it clear to everyone that I'm never protesting for anything related to Nigeria, I don't care if APC milks the treasury like a Hot man would to a busty woman. SuperOñyi will rather get armed, sit, and stay on alert to protect the ones I love.

I remember when this same set of barbarians praised and hailed Nigerian Army as innocent Biafran protesters were gunned down for exercising their fundamental human right—years later endsars happened. I'm not afraid of death but I rather die for something worth dying for, than disgrace my ancestors dying for a failed experimental joke that was turned into something serious by some West African moñkeys.

I rather be considered heartless than be sacrificed for political scores.
I do not follow the crowds,
by God, I just want to get rich enough to buy the system and create the nation the Supreme Being has promised us.

Edit: By the way, boss I wish I knew the name of your town — I'd be relocating asap since I'm in the East right now.

cheesy cheesy Nigeria will never get it right except it's through violence to the point politicians are scared of their lives and also scared of their securities and bodyguards because they feel all Nigerians are united against them, including the gallant uniform men protecting them.

It won't. Though, I know why the pioneers call it peaceful protest. They know it will turn violent and becomes a revolution, but they want to choose their words correctly to avoid being arrested for incitement.

Disclaimer: I'm not promoting violence, but I know it's the only solution. My community has used violence to achieve a lot.

Not that I advocate for the use of violence but I can agree that there are some measures of progress that can be achieved with the use of violence.
And I can attest to that fact through the quoted scripture from the bible. That being said, let's keep praying that it bears forth the friuts required for a working Nigeria.

For me I'll not be participating in the so called "peaceful" protest.
