On my way to Ikole-Ekiti yesterday via Ido-Ifaki road, I met a long queue of vehicles. At first I thought it was an accident, so I parked and decided to check what it was in front.

Behold, it was youths in their numbers I saw, they blocked all entrance and exit routes to their town protesting what they said was over 8 months of blackout and which government is doing nothing about. Some of them where even playing football right in front of BEDC office while all the helpless drivers and passengers turned out to be spectators.

When asked why they decided to block the federal road on a Monday morning, they said they are sure that some government officials or influencial people will likely be part of the people that will be held and so they will take their plea to the appropriate authorities.

I got there around 10am and from what I gathered they had blocked the roads since 7am. We were let loose at 11:05am. Some military guys were passing when all this was going on, they just cleared road for themselves and left, that was when I knew that we are on our own.

Some of the pictures I took was from far distance, couldn't summon the courage to go near them to take pic.

FRAUD ALERT!!
The dude on top is a BIG fraud.

**He's the reason good FP stories like this don't make Front page; I see no reason why he should be the FTC**


Back to the topic: If youths all round Nigeria begin to Block major ways, then things for don better. I pray the authorities don't disperse them with soldiers the way they did to a mallam soemtime in Kaduna.
