So, One of my elder brother called me tonight and asked how tomorrow is going to be. He was trying to know if I had a job to deliver and I answered in the negative. He wanted to confirm if I won't be out because of the protest that's scheduled for tomorrow. Honestly I forgot about the protest as I was already thinking on how to get to OSIELE to play football tomorrow morning. I was also trying to run away from community meeting as those babas will knock on my door tomorrow and I don't want to attend the meeting. I know I am a Comrade, and I am a proud one any day. I will continue to defend the Interest of those I represent as much as I can. But if you are expecting me to lead a Nationwide protest or go with you, then I am sorry I can't! It is glaring for us all to see, that PROTESTS DOESN'T WORK IN NIGERIA. I was part of the 2012 protest where we were moving round Abeokuta protesting the increase in PMS fee; so many people lost their lives and few months after, the petrol price was still increased to what they want. So why bothering ourselves? Okay, Compared to what we protested against in 2012; How much are you now buying petrol? Those who died during the course of the protests and agitations, what is their gain? Let's come down to the latest protest which was the ENDSARS PROTEST; Up till now, have you heard of the conviction of any of the hoodlums who hijacked the protest? Okay, Compared to what we protested against in 2012; How much are you now buying petrol? Those who died during the course of the protests and agitations, what is their gain? We all need to sit down and think deeply; it is not by how many people do we have on the Street, it is how many people truly want the change they so clamour for! Lets take the Elections that took place just immediately after the ENDSARS PROTEST; Who won the Election? *The same political Party that is leading us into the wilderness* Are you going to tell me those who voted, none of them were at the protest? Is there no better Candidate than that of the same party? Part of the ENDSARS PROTESTERS still went to the primaries of this same political party oooooo They got to the Primaries and still fought themselves ooo. What are we now saying? It is all ABOUT US NIGERIANS if we truly need the change we so much clamor for�� Trust me, local Government Election is coming up o, the same set of people who are complaining on the price of Garri, will still be the one to go and collect the amount that will not even buy a congo of Garri to vote for a particular candidate! When you talk to them, they will still be justifying their stupidity (change wanters o) Yes; Truly we need Actions, but the Action we need is not *protestical action* What we need in Nigeria is beyond 5,000 prayer chain! It is beyond starving ourselves all in the name of fasting for NIGERIA! Sir/Ma we have been praying for the past 35 years (it's more o, but that's the one I am sure of) What has prayer done? Is it not getting worse?The truth is I am a CHRISTIAN MYSELF. And the GOD I know is not wicked, He's not a GOD that doesn't listen to the cries of His People! You that you started the prayer chain, Do you have your PVC? you that is fasting for Nigeria, Will you go out on Election days and vote? The only protest I can ever partake in ever again is the PROTEST on Election days, I will go out no matter what and vote my conscience!��I heard some people keep saying, does voting still count in Nigeria? You don't need to ask, let us all sit at home and the same anguish we are all feeling right now will continue until we decide to vote again. If it doesn't count, why do some political parties pay as much as 10k/person for a vote? It's because they know it's importance more than you do Drops mic�️�️�️ #arisam21 |

But Buhari too protested in the past. To keep suicide rate low, allow people let off all the negative energy via protests. 2 Likes |

boyskola: Protest does not work because the masses are still conditioned to tire after a few days. The protest will soon feature comedy and comedians, music and musicians, and then it will be Friday grove at the club with loose you know who’s around. No discipline, and the idea of tribalism will be used to finish off the masses. Unless the protest goes for the jugular- the End of the Zoo, then nothing...... See EnSars, a waste because it was not going for the main jugular- The NPF and its IG.... 1 Like |

For protest to work it must be nation wide ...core north would never join this protest so it's already a sectional protest If we had southern Nigeria them no born the president we to mess up because we would chase him out North would never fight against their own that's why protest only work against southern presidents because south join not minding the north motives 2 Likes |

boyskola: Let me explain something to you the problem with Nigeria the people are illiterate and stupid. Once is time to vote we only vote for an idiot even in developed countries. When I was in America Canada United Kingdom and Sweden you find Nigerian saying this person can do nothing for us but let us vote for him let us support him he is a Nigerian. Illiteracy and stupidity is our number one problem wherever we are in the world 95% of Nigerians are brainless. Which Nigerians are the most stupid people we will run away from Nigeria because we know a Nigerian can do nothing for us as mediately will get to another country we want to vote for the Nigerian which can do nothing for us bunch of illiterate. 1 Like |

sapientia: Protest cannot work with a population which is illiterate tomorrow they will vote for the same which day are protesting against. A high number of population of the country are brainless they don't even know what they are doing they will tell you let's vo for somebody which can do nothing for us. If buhari goes to UK or America today Nigerians they can vote for him that is how illiterate are people are. 1 Like |
