I’m really disturbed by the death of the DPO of Mushin and by some deaths of policemen I’ve seen.

This is something I’ve been talking about for a long time and something most people ignored in the push to #EndSARS because we were all doing it for a good reason for everyone.

I’ve always said this about street killings / jungle justice.

If you have the ability to chop someone up with machetes, or set them on fire alive, you have the ability to just tie them up and hold or deliver them for appropriate punishment.

They’re already in your custody.

Maybe because in the past, I’ve characterized this as a behaviour of “the poor” that disturbs me, so people dismissed what I said years ago as “Sugabelly hates poor people” but it’s really important you understand that what we’ve seen this week is a chronic daily moral failure.

What I say gets chalked up to class hysteria and dismissed but ask yourself:

The average normal person would be severely psychologically affected if they killed someone accidentally let alone deliberately.

Why do these “youths” on the street find it so EASY to kill repeatedly?

Police were attacked, not to overpower and neutralize them by taking their weapons or subduing them, but hacked to death, bottles broken repeatedly on the DPO of Mushin’s head, and fucking BEHEADED.

Some of the young people we are protesting for are actually worse than SARS.

And everyone glosses over this.

Everyone sweeps it under the rug.

We’re all joking about flying abroad but some of these youths should NEVER get visas because they have committed multiple murders but nobody knows about it because they were “justified” street killings.

If you’re talking seriously about wanting a better Nigeria then you have to admit that these youths we see deriving so much glee in brutally ending a man’s life in public, let alone the one who calmly filmed it all, are the SAME people who grow up to be police and SARS.

Yes, people have died for this just and righteous cause.

But no matter how hard #EndSARS was, it was wildly easier to protest because SARS is a known entity, a fixed target.

How do I protest against these kinds of people I don’t want to share a country with?

They scare me.

And what is most terrifying about these bloodthirsty murderers we have scattered all over Nigeria masquerading as disenfranchised young people is that they are the very people whose wellbeing we were protesting for.

They’re the same people who were fed by the protest.

Yet.

I don’t care so much about how “The Olds” are ruining Nigeria.

I care far more about how it’s actually people with certain mindsets that are ruining Nigeria.

It’s like the hardware is all the same, but mentally they’re running corrupted or infected software

They’re the problem

The way things with #EndSARS have turned out has made me deeply worried about everything in Nigeria not just the government.

We ALWAYS talk about the government because it’s easy to see, but a good number of the people in Nigeria are rotten and casual murderers and you don’t see

If we ever set up a national Truth and Reconciliation Council, where everyone must come and confess the unknown crimes they have committed, I don’t think there will be a Nigeria left when some of these average people you see walking around finish talking.

There is such deep rot.
