Those we think are citizens in a citadel of learning carried out this level of destruction ..... What would happen if they weren't educated?

this was as a result of a light issue. e surprise me how e take escalate

You went or they sent you to school to learn

You went and joined in protesting

Protesting for What? What is Electricity that you cant do without? Are we new to the Epileptic Power Supply this country is facing?

Okay lets agree that Electricity is very important

During the peaceful protests and suddenly things turn violent. Instead of destroying things as students. It is advisable to run and be safe.

It is much more sweet to be alive to see the change. Especially with our police that has little or no regards when it comes to respect for human life and fundamental rights
