Im having a hard time understanding what people in the most prosperous part of the country have to gain by attacking the military. Here we have military personnel going about their business and angry mobs blocking their pathway and descending on them in anger and fury.
I doubt sheer ignorance or stupidity alone could motivate these protesters without a significant portion of malicious manipulation behind the scene. The military is not the enemy and lumping the military together with SARS represent sloppy thinking that will result in sloppy
and likely counter productive and dangerous actions. On the one hand we have protesters with a legitimate reason to protest and the right to do so. On the other hand we have rioters and looters who have no moral or political motivation, they perform violent actions for money...
...and in the center we have gobby, showboating celebrities and protesters on a self-indulgent tripe cluttering on the streets of our cities wanting to trend on social media. Utter a syllable of dissent and you are damned as a paid stooge, insensitive and disrespectful.
Wanna know what's disrespectful? Attempt to lump SARS and the Nigerian military is dumb and disrespectful. These guys sleep in trenches come rain or shine day and night so we in the safest most prosperous part of the country wont have to deal with the horrors of war.
We just had a momentous achievement, lets not take chip away at the glorious momentum of protesters forcing the govt to act with senseless attacks on the military. Its getting silly.
The western media is already delibrately portraying all of Nigeria as a remake of mississippi or Libya burning, in full technicolor and cinemascope. The news channels give unlimited airtime to malcontents seeking their 15 minutes of fame.
Surely there are no laws preventing anyone from being “stupid” or “arrogant, which is why we leap on every woke bandwagon to mitigate its rapacious and cry bully reality. They justify this ostentatious nonsense on the grounds that its happening all over the world.
Surely i am going to get a lot of flak for this tweet. But i do not want my country to become another Libya and will always speak the truth. Shame on those who meedly surrender, rather than risk the wrath of partisan hacks, especially those cowardly personalities
...who weep crocodile tears of contrition over alleged crimes but are the first to flee the country weeks before elections for fear of post election violence. I know i am not alone. There are many patriotic Nigerians sitting at home utterly bewildered at the way in which the
...political and broadcast institutions have simply caved in to these revolutionary vandals whose are hell bent on toppling and tearing down the present and controlling the future. They have tapped un to genuine feelings of anger at the unlawful killing of Nigerians by SARS
...to advance their sinister agenda of destroying our tolerant pragmatic society and replacement it with their own, rigidly enforced revisionists,...and they are getting away with it.
Who will speak for us, the largely silent undemonstrative law abiding patriots and prevent this country from becoming the next Libya? certainly not the spineless political class or the ghastly cringy broadcasters or brainwashed common purpose careerists.
The legitimate campaign to ring down SARS has been successful. Stop these silly attacks. Its getting silly.
