Appeal To The Youth Let's Advocate For Peace by Advocateforpeac: 3:15pm On Oct 21, 2020 |
I will be plain and I won’t mind my grammar as this is an urgent issue regarding the movement that has loose its vision and agenda as regards to the #endsarssaga# in what becomes a global sensation when the lazy Nigerian youth stands against the brutal oppression of the dreaded SARS unit of the NPF. Everyone was first in support of it as the youth for the first time in Nigeria history were united irrespective of any racial difference, ethnic group, religion. It was a peaceful protest they got the support of everyone with the way they were organize no case of bloodshed for more than a week of the stand and the government finally succumb to their demands and everything was going well until it happens. The agenda was lost we lose focus we became drunk for power we try to press harder we allowed the agenda to be infiltrated by those who had ulterior motives. From the beginning #endsars# was not a revolution it was a STAND our attention was repeatedly called to it even Sowore the revolutionary was rejected we made our point and it was heard. Where did it all went wrong? We just didn’t know when to stop our greatest strength became our weakness and it was our downfall. There was no leader, no one to command. All that was needed yesterday was obey the curfew retreating does not means losing nor does it means cowardice the loss of life could have been pre vented. I predicted this will eventually occur this if certain lines were crossed. What were we expecting when anarchy , looting , violence becomes involve. The state was absolutely falling in shambles. There was no one who was protesting who didn’t receive the news of the police station that was burnt or the prison break. We all heard of the curfew there were tweets online stating place to avoid, there were pleas to back down for now non was heeded all as a result of no head who could have state the obvious that blood was coming. What were we expecting when the curfew was announced and military were deployed it was visible that this was a state of emergency. The government will never admit this was their doing. The goal of the STAND was no lives should have been lost at both sides, cajole the government with the power of unity of the youth, then negotiate our STAND. NO lives should have been lost, condolence to the family of those who lose someone, peace and patient to the aggrieve mass. Violence doesn’t solve anything it just worsen it. This is time for retreat and strategize Let's prevent any form of violence that can cause loss of life #say no to violence# #say no to war# #say no to british help# they never solve anything look at Libya and Iraq.[color=#990000][/color] |

it's a fact that the protesters aren't the violent ones... this country has been on boiling point even b4 the covid 19 break... remember the cases of robbery and reprisal in Nigerian neighborhoods. the vandalism, looting and such are by products of occurrences like these.. you cannot totally separate them. but the supposed killing in lekki was instigated by men in the Nigerian Army uniform, that says Govt. either sate or federal... so who should retreat 'we or the govt.'? I say the government. we all know this is beyond the police brutality, it's about the governance in Nigeria. |

Odoogu:More reason we need to retreat like my stand here is we don't need to lose life fighting a fight we can win without any bloodshed. It has been hijack from our hands we've just become puppet |
