#EndSARS: Time to talk with Government - OPAN President, Austyn Ogannah by aminulive: 7:48pm On Oct 19, 2020
Nigerian online publisher, Austyn Ogannah has urged #EndSARS protesters to embrace negotiations.

Ogannah, who is the President of the Online Publishers Association of Nigeria, OPAN, while commending the #EndSARS/#EndSWAT protesters for the courage so far displayed, said it is time channels are opened to pave way for talks.

He decried the attacks on police facilities in Lagos, Benin, and the release of prisoners at the Benin Correctional Service Centre. “Though the attacks were done by hoodlums, they should not be happening because they distract us from the conversations”, he said.

“I believe it is time to sit down with the authority to figure out a strategy on the reforms we want implemented and cut a deal. The #EndSARS protest is getting out of hand, it is being distracted by hoodlums and miscreants. We should not let this happen”, he added.

There is no longer time for talks. The government knows what we want, and they have the capacity to provide. So they don't need to talk; they just need to ACT.

Lol... Why are presidents and different group leaders asking protesters to stop? Are they seeing what we are not seeing or are they receiving what we're not receiving?

Even if the protest stops now, I'm still glad the youths have seen how powerful they can be.

You aren't far from the truth about the protest not been peaceful anymore but based on statistics, one of the places where Sars brutality was much is Edo state compared to Lagos hence the way they will show their grievance compared to Lagos will be different because EDO NO BE LAGOS.

However, i will plead with all protesters to make it a peaceful one and resist losing focus and try blocking every loopholes hoodlum might want to take to hijack the protest. That way, more leaders who haven't SORO SOKE will see the reason to SORO SOKE.

Looking forward to a new Nigeria where everyone will be proud to say GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!

Are they willing to listen?


So far, the government has been lackluster and I don't think any of these is affecting them?

Nah eh! No qualms

We have been talking since
Through social media nd other

Voicing out our Frustration
Buh to no avail
Infact we youths are tired of talking
All we want now is to take over
From this grandys who always forget or fells to listen

What stupid negotiations...the one they negotiated with NLC what was the outcome. Did tariff reduce? Did fuel reduce?

Since the government has decided to make living unbearable, we will shut down the country and make it ungovernable for them as well.

Las Las south will breakout from this failed British project called Nigeria

The government has refused to talk to us. The last time I checked, presidiot Muhammadu Buhari has not granted any press interview to answer specific questions concerning the protest. The cow head obviously has nothing to say. #EndSars #EndBuhari #EndNigeria

We don't wanna talk, we don't want any promises as usual. All we want is immediate ACTIONS and proper implementation. Ranging from Police to Army to PHCN to NDDC to Medical personnels to Education to Good road network to Instant judgement to those who embezzled public funds to Total overhauling of this Nation. No more, No Less. The time is now.

They should embrace negotiations because thugs, touts and urchins have joined the protest and causing havoc, unrest and disharmony. The earlier the better pls.

If you went to a tertiary institution, the purpose was for you to find your life and think for yourself. If you are following popular opinion to join a protest that has lost its meaning then it is a shame to your thinking. Protest has come and needs to go. Time to sit with the FG. Not sitting with the FG will lead to anarchy. We can all see what happened in Benin City. If this shyt continues, your local prisoners will be released and more crime, more mayhem and the police you have been incited to hate will not fire a shot into the air to scare anybody away. This week is about to get bloody. Stop the blockade protests now. Let peace have a say. Thank you.

As for any endsars activist that insults me, no problem. Just be at the frontline too, not just behind a computer or your phone. Get the consequences of the fire you are fueling. God bless Nigeria.

The demands are very clear. There's no need to sit down with government.

They're getting jittery because everyone is speaking in support.

I need to first understand who we're about to have talks with. Is it the same vegetable that addresses us in third persons? He can't even address us by himself.

The only time he comes to us is during elections. Thats when he's even dressed in all national, cultural regalia. He only delegates osibanjo and his dogs to do the PR jobs for him.

We've never had a president in this country who can address Nigerians for 30 seconds without having to read from a script. Not even the Zoologist PhD holder.

If Buhari can address us without reading any script for at least 5 minutes, then I will believe that his administration is ready to start implementing our demands.

I agree.

We need to clearly articulate what we want and insist on a road map and timelines in actualising them.
And before we get off the street tangible actions must have been taken.
