Endsars Or Black Lives Matter: Before You Join Protest, Read This by alBHAGDADI: 6:49pm On Oct 09, 2020
Are you guys sure that what is going on is the EndSARS they claim it is or something else?

Right about now, no one is scrutinizing the protests because they have all been carried away by emotions. Just a few days into the protests and we are already seeing signs of the Black Lives Matter in it.

I just saw a video on front page which shows protesters bending a knee and raising a fist while the National Anthem of Nigeria was being played. This is no different from what is going on in America where people are now disrespecting the flag and anthem of the country which many soldiers died for. This indicates that Black Lives Matter protest is masking as EndSARS protest.

Any right thinking person will know that what should be demanded for is a reform of the activities of the SARS police unit. The Inspector-General of Police has given such a directive which bans SARS from patrol and also searching citizens. They are now to fight against violent crimes which they were created for.

Ask yourself, what re the complaints against SARS? Aren't they what the IGP just banned? The ban will stop them from killing innocent people. The IGP also ordered the prosecution of operatives who engage in such.

Still yet, protesters are demanding that SARS be completely abolished. If such happens, who will fight against violent crimes? Who will defend you and I when violence erupts in our neighborhood?

Be sincere with yourself, haven't security operatives been successful enough in fighting crimes including internet fraud aka yahoo yahoo? Go to the instagram page of the EFCC and see how 20 to 30 young boys are lined up everyday for internet fraud. Check out the cars they seize from them. That shows the level of damage they've done to Nigeria's image abroad. But because of one or two bad eggs in the police, people are now calling for their abolishment despite their gains.

Look at the proponents of EndSARS - Wizkid, Small Doctor, Naira Marley, Tiwa Savage, Runtown, Davido etc.

Wasn't Wizkid hanging out with Hushpuppi months before the Dubai based guy was arrested for defrauding millions of billions with his yahoo yahoo?

Wasn't Small Doctor caught in 'unlawful' possession of a gun after being made a police ambassador?

The songs Naira Marley sings, do they benefit the society but corrupt it?

He, however, made sense when he said, “We need to reform SARS. Let’s be reasonable, are you an armed robber?

“Why will you say they should end SARS? If you end SARS, it means they should end EFCC and other agencies.

Wasn't Davido on stage singing at the 2015 campaign rally of President Muhammadu Buhari, the same president they are accusing of not heeding their call? Wasn't Hushpuppi seen spraying dollars at his brother's wedding in Dubai?

Other celebrities are just supporting the EndSARS campaign for clout and nothing else. Perhaps they are sympathizing with the fraudsters whom they regularly praise in their music.

Police PRO DCP Frank Mba best described them on Channels Television's Sunrise Daily programme today.

He said, “... others are protesting because they are beneficiaries of criminal enterprises. Some of them are people who are receiving stolen goods.

“Others are into organised crimes such as gunrunning, importation of drugs and so on.

“There are also pseudo-activists, desperate for public validation or want to be seen as social media influencers. These are the ones that post false items and fake news.”

Now, they are tagging foreign media houses, Manchester United, foreign celebrities etc because they want EndSARS to gain global attention. What they have done is unleash the horrible demon called Cancel Culture on Nigeria which America is trying to get rid of.

Actress Toyin Abraham, Burna Boy and others are currently getting dragged and canceled on Twitter or failing to join the protest. Toyin Abraham who tweeted about her new movie this morning was attacked by the cancel culture mob. According to them, she shouldn't be promoting her business while "everybody" is trying to EndSARS. They started tagging people and telling them to not watch her movie. The actress was forced to start tweeting against SARS.

Reno Omokri is currently trying to drag Manchester United into the EndSARS campaign by telling them to tweet to support their Nigerian fans facing police brutality.

Look, the Americans who started cancel culture have written to call for its end. CNN journalist, Fareed Zakaria, and others at Harpers magazine wrote a letter around June to reveal that the cancel culture is threatening debate in the world. People are no longer allowed to hold a different opinion. If you do, a mob will attack you and could get you fired. Journalists were threatened by this and so had to speak against it.

Sadly, that culture has been unleashed on Nigeria because we worship celebrities the same way Americans do. Celebrities who are puppets in the hands of dark and hidden forces use their huge social media influences and blue ticks to sway people into a line of thought they themselves know nothing about.

Cardi B whose country is plagued with Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA protests is thinking about weighing in on EndSARS. She cant control her home of just three persons, yet she wants to interfere in the affairs of a complicated nation as Nigeria with over 200 million people. Someone promotes immorality and gangster lifestyle is whom Nigerians are calling to fight for them.

By the time those foreign celebrities and organizations that are being tagged start to tweet about EndSARS, the world will see their hypocrisy. Same people who called for social distancing because of coronavirus won't hesitate to support the EndSARS protests because they can smuggle agendas into it. They won't mind the total disregard for social distancing at the protests. We are already seeing them bending one knee and raising the Marxist fist in Lagos. Next is LGBTQ+ flags and the burning and looting of businesses. They will also threaten you to adhere to their course or you experience violence. It's happening in America already.

It's sad that some people have died as a result of Police brutality, but calling for the removal of the unit will equate to calling for the supremacy of crime.

Ask yourself, where have these celebrities been since thousands of Christians have been getting slaughtered in Southern Kaduna. Tell all of them to turn up for a protest and also tag Cardi B. I can bet that you won't see any of them.
