To my generation: Focus!

They have never imagined such unity, accountability, strength, integrity and organisation among the youth. I am glad they now know how wrong they have been.

They will try to break us, for nothing scares them like the unity they have seen...
A THREAD
the past weeks. That unity and sense of purpose is our strength. They will come for our strength using their own weakness. I want us to know and be ready for it.

They'll use—

Religion
We are all Nigerians and have no home else. In the peace of this land lies your own peace.
You will have no freedom of worship if you do not first secure the peace and freedom of this nation.
Among us are Believers in Christ, Muslims, Pagans, Atheists, followers of Judaism, etc. We speak different languages and come from different backgrounds but the one pain we know
is bad governance!

The humiliation we face at the airports of foreign nations once they see our passports and only see a comatose education/health/economic sector, a fallacious democracy, non-existent security, corruption. Remember these pains and stay focused!

Tribalism
As @AishaYesufu eightly pointed, No Nigerian is more Nigerian than any other. There is beauty in diversity—it makes us the best sauce. This diversity is why home is never boring. It is our wealth.

Our diversity is the force upon which we thrive, it is our unique selling point
and we will always need each other to bring in that difference that completes us.

Semantics
We made our laws. We structured us the way we are. We can undo the rot. We can restructure and rebirth the Nigeria we want to see.

Everything we dream for our nation is very much...
achievable, and NOW is the right time. We will not let it fade or fix itself, we will make it happen before we move.
.For so long they lied to us and made us believe that our dear Nigeria is a mother that eats her children, that the rot is deep and impossible to fix, but we now
see!
In a little over one week, we have achieved hope for Nigeria; we have and are still showing them what leadership, integrity and accountability mean. We didn't need to set up committees or organise late night meetings. We neither appointed leaders nor did we rely blindly on
the supposed wisdom of "the elders" to come this far.

We have seen that we can do this, so FOCUS!

Politics
They will try to play smart. The politicians will start creeping in to pledge their support. Do not be deceived but rather stay focused and absolutely ignore them. We
are Nigerians, it is about Nigeria, and we have one interest—Nigeria!

When they quit trying hard to lead us and start trying hard to serve us, we will know they are genuine. True leadership lies in the youths, in us, not in the old.
We want servant leaders, not PDP, APC, SDP
APGA, LP or whatever other acronyms abound. We are solution-oriented and so will our decision in 2023, both at federal and state levels.

We are strong, and we will decide right and enforce our decisions because we can. Every state will matter to us, and so will every federal
seat. No charlatan will occupy any seat of power in Nigeria anymore. So when they tweet we are not fooled ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽.

These above are their mildest measures. We are dealing with narcissistic oligarchs. After all mild measures fail, they will use Force.

FORCE
They have used
the police and seen we are not afraid anymore. They have begun using the army to intimidate, assault and brutalize innocent protesters. They will willingly shoot to kill us on the streets.

We need to answer this hard question: how far are we willing to go for the change we
need?
What sacrifices are we willing to make to secure a home for our children, for Nigerians?
On what side of history do we want to belong?

They will come hard on us.

Before you waver, remember we have come a long way. If we secure our lives, this country and it's corrupt
leadership will snatch it from us; if we secure our nation we preserve both ours and many lives.

Are you wondering if our fight is biblical? Are you still sitting at home in your "comfort zone" doing nothing about this? Here👇

Then Mordecai told them to return this answer to
Esther, "Do not flatter yourself that you shall escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows but that
you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?"
Esther 4:13 - 14

This is no time to hack private businesses thereby causing them losses. Let us use our talents and initiatives collectively to drive the change we want to see.
