For those who keep saying "LeKkI iS lOsInG fOcUs", let me show you that partying is a part of protests - especially sit-ins and occupations - worldwide and historically. Just because something sounds odd to you, doesn& #39;t make it so.

"Protest all day, party all night": How rave is uniting the Lebanese rebellion

The wave of protests in Lebanon have been defined by hard partying rather than destruction and violence

"PrOtEsTs ShOuLd Be SoLeMn" is something we usually hear from older activists, while younger ones have a more natural view. Even as Americans protested police shootings, they STILL partied and celebrated.

In Oakland, protesters turn streets into giant dance party: 'One more song'

Though the group was clearly breaking the city’s 8 p.m. curfew, the Oakland Police Department didn't disrupt the rollicking demonstration.

I could go on. Look guys, give each other a break. The people at Lekki are out there for HOURS. They are alone, because nobody can pass there again. Whatever legal things they& #39;re doing to raise spirits are OK, since they& #39;re maintaining the blockade.

There& #39;s no need for us to create a damaging narrative against ourselves, when people are doing something that& #39;s actually normal at occupations and sit-ins. Less of it please. Let& #39;s face the IGP.

By the way, guys, the older people you think will turn against the protest when they see the pool table in Lekki? They& #39;re not the ones complaining about it. YOU are. Every older person I& #39;ve talked to is even inclined to join, and pepper govt well.

Breathe.
