What Happened At Lekki Should Make Us Wiser by Baawaa(m): 5:57am On Oct 25, 2020 |
WHAT HAPPENED AT LEKKI SHOULD MAKE US WISER! The President's threat or speech yesterday broke us but thought us many hard lessons. Myself and so many others couldn't sleep last night... We were broken!!!!!! We protested for 12 days without vandalisation 12 days of rejecting bribe, 12 days of caring and looking out for each other. 12 days of giving free medical care and legal services, Brands, both national and international Celebrities, Churches all protested... influencial people were lobbied to add their voice... At the protest grounds, the Christians gave room for the Muslims to have their Jumat prayers The Christians had their service on Sunday... There was a candlelight service held all over the nation for fallen heroes, Youths despite the hard economy spent their personal money cooking for each other. No one knew who was a Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa, or Edo... We ate together and danced together. For 12 days, These were organised without a formal leader with just social media tweets, retweets, post, shares with a harshtag. For 12 days we built the Nigeria of our dreams... And built their nightmare... And they got scared. They know if we're united we would have one voice, If we have one voice, we have power. And if we have that power... WE WOULD DEMAND A BETTER NIGERIA. If we're united and not fighting how would they budget money for security to calm insurgency? How will they create religious fights and make money? So they sponsored hoodlums to disrupt the protest... But we overpowered these hoodlums by getting our own private securities and security dogs to protest grounds. When the military who were ordered by "Powers beyond their control" to shoot, When the guns were fired, They didn't care who was a Muslim or Christian, They didn't care who was Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Calabar or Urhobo. They killed unarmed people sitting down and singing the anthem. But when they want to instigate tribal wars and religious unrest, they remind you of your tribe and religion, When they want to make use of you for their selfish gain, they tell you to unite and take side with "your people" they remind you that you should be one. Do you all remembered how President Buhari contested for presidency up to 5 times? He cried on National TV when the chibok girls were kidnapped, He promised us heaven and earth. He campaigned rigorously, He protested against the then government. He was voted in thinking he would bring change he promised... What did we get in return? We were handled with "iron fist" THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE STATE OF THIS NATION! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE CITIZENS! They do not care about the state of our hospitals because they get medical attention abroad, They do not care about our educational system because their kids schools abroad, They do not care about electricity because they live in choices area with constant electricity, They travel with securities so have no idea how our roads are. They only need us to win elections... And after then they can send the military to silent us if we remind them of their promises or demand for our rights. We didn't loose this fight. That speech yesterday was a speech of threat and you only threaten those you are scared of to keep them in line! � They are scared of us They saw how we mobilised ourselves without a leader, They saw how we over powered thugs with our numbers, They saw how organised and cooperated we were.... It gave then the chills mehn ��� WE DIDN'T LOOSE THIS FIGHT Our parents failed because they do not have enough evidence against the leaders, but we the pressing phone generation have enough evidence to remind them of how evil, wicked and clueless they are. Our parents failed because they had less information. But we have a lot of information at our finger tips. We didn't loose this fight... We're now Aware, Awake, and Alert. We know what we're up against and we're ready. I am ready! 1. Get devices that can record conversation and take photos. Imagine if DJ Switch didn't go live on instagram... 2. Any friend you meet add them to your social media handle, when you're in the midst of people mostly youths, engage them in meaningful conversation... Do not engage in tribal sentiments... Most youths are not informed... If they have the information some of us have they would not have hijacked the protest, they would not be used as thugs. 3. Get your Voters card... Get your PVC If you have any political ambition start grooming yourself, we do not want to elect those with the mindset of the present leaders we have. 4. Do not give up. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP 5. Please I beg you in the name of Jesus, Allah, Sango, Orisala, Amadioha and everything worshipable under the sun... Do not let them sell tribal or religious sentiments to you. A Yoruba man, Igbo man and Hausa man is your brother, An Igbo woman, Hausa woman and Yoruba woman is your sister. Remember the good times we shared at various protest grounds irrespective of tribes and religion and let Nigeria come first in your heart! We're young, We are strong, We are smart, We are 20 steps ahead of them. We're their nemesis The wrong generation to mess with. We just need to re-strategize. Come 2023 No PDP No APC No recycling of Past or Present leaders. Together we shall save Nigeria and make it great again. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Why should we wait until 2023? We can start with the by elections postponed by INEC. Let form Youth Democratic Party and present our own candidate. A candidate between the age of 25-45. Someone that will understand the plight of Nigerians. Someone we can have access to come rain come sunshine. |

We ought to learn some hard truths. But then this is Nigeria where we easily forget which is why history often repeats itself. We are like abman who does not know where the rain began to beat him and worst, we can't say where the rain would dried our body. The rain that beat our country began four to five hundred years ago, from the “discovery” of Africa by Europe, through the transatlantic slave trade to the Berlin Conference of 1885 which culminated to the amalgamation of Southern and Northern Protectorates of the Niger area. |

Baawaa: I agree with all you said except for the following: 1. 2023 is 80% likely not going to be a free and fair election. 2. Mr. President, will use same iron fist to remove and install whoever he wanted just before 2023. Mr. President currently have absolute power and he is next to God as far as Nigeria is concern. If he wishes to continue, no one can stop him apart from God. My advice for anyone that have been promoted from other tribe to a powerful position is not to sleep in their house because DSS will come for them to kidnap them few months to election date. They will show no respect for the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This will be done even under the watch of the judiciary. They will just claim corruption without prove. However, I might be wrong anyway. I pray that I am wrong because it will not just affect most Nigerian but will affect me as well. However some set of people will still be happy with it |

madridguy: This isn't the case... Nigeria should operate on a two party state.... We have to pass a law that will round the country into two parties alone.... So these people will not be jumping from one party to the other.... |
