1. Honestly in all seriousness there is an absence of leadership in this country at all levels. People do not like me much because I can be as dispassionate as I am passionate. There is a genuine agitation for a reform of the @PoliceNG but no one is stepping up to own the issue/

2. You have the @MBuhari who is the head of the nation and who has kept mute on this-all that is expected is for you sir to say, my children, I understand your cries, trust me that I will do something about it". That is all you need to do sir, but for whatever reason, you are mum

3. We have 36 Governors of states who are the Chief security officer of their states, but what have they done? Zilch? Has anyone called youths assembly? Has anyone called them to a safe place for their protest? If I were you, I would give them a safe place to protest & hear them

4. We have 109 Senators (3 Senators from each state and 1 for Abuja)-How many of them have gone to address youths in their districts? Need I say more, we have 360 Representatives, but how many of them has reached out with one word of succour to the children who are hurting/

5. The Governors collect security votes but when security issues arise, where are they to stand tall.
6. Then the greatest failure of leadership is with the Minister of Police Affairs? What has he done.
7. The IGP nko? Where are the leaders in this nation?

8. Then the youths nko? You are so proud of yourselves but your pride is in folly. Where is your blueprint of demands. Where is your reform action plan? Where is your SWOT analysis of End/Reform SARS. Where is your risk assessment for all scenarios?

9. How do you become leaders when you don't know how leaders think and act?
10. I said it ages ago here-there is a dug problem in the Nigerian Police and among our youths? There is also a corruption problem among our Police and our youths. Who is looking at the big picture?

11. Right here in Nigeria among the citizenry are replacement for the police who are of same mould or even worse. And that is why I am not sentimental on this issue. Any youth that feels like protesting should go on but weigh the risks? Death could result from it, being maimed /

12. is an option, body aches is a sure banker, and sadly the worst is that things remain the same, but the things that won't come from this are-advancement of career, jobs, money. I warned my daughter a couple of years ago not to join in complaining about Nigeria. I told her this

13. My father a retired Justice complained about how things had deteriorated so much for about 35 years to the end of his life. I have lived 59 years and I have spent at least 30 years of my useful life complaining about Nigeria. I was not going to have her also invest her life/

14. complaining. Nigeria will not make 3 generations of my house sad and miserable. Too much time has gone into a sad existence. But what I have learnt to do is insulate myself from the things I can protect myself from. The Police is not my friend, but when they stop me, I make

15 sure that I am their friend. I am all readiness to be friendly. In my heart I am irritated but my face is friendly. They are human beings so I treat them as such. I make sure I am looking at their badges and if I find that we are getting into a tough situation, I activate

16 my speed dial which is to my husband and another one to my big brother. They immediately call me back and I nicely smile and pick the call and say, darling, I am with the police, let me call you back. Of course my husband knows not to allow me to drop the call, so I tell him/

17. All is well and I get waved off with Madam, just go. What I am saying is that you need to have survival skills. We do not live in an environment where we Nigerians respect law and order. Today it is Police, tomorrow it is the nurses, and next it is your teacher. We have a

18. a culture of lawlessness and disrespect for each other and for rules. We despise every instruction. We justify every debasement. In conclusion, please, go one with your protests. It is nothing new. We protested in our time, have yours, but weigh the consequences. God bless.
