For a couple of days I've been seeing messages of how should the protests persist for 30 days the UN will intervene. As much as we'll like the intervention of the highly recognized & respectable body sworn to keep "the kings peace" we should also ask what the UN's "Intervention" will bring as well as the expectations of the patriotic protesters & front line campaigners of this new development;

Do you want the UN to sack the Government or Deploy troops ?

The Security Council remains the organ with the primary responsibility, under the United Nations Charter, for the maintenance of international peace and security. When it receives a complaint about a threat to peace, the Council first recommends that the parties seek an agreement by peaceful means. In some cases, the Council itself investigates and mediates. It may appoint special representatives or request the Secretary-General to do so, or to use his good offices. It may set forth principles for a peaceful settlement.

The council can only go further than this when the tentions has escalated & fighting breaks out across the country; Then the council can/may issue a cease fire directive or impose sanctions or military actions. Now patriotic protesters have made sure the the movement is peaceful; No cases of Violent rioting & vandalisations so the intervention of the security Council in this regard is totally out of the question except protests dramatically becomes extremely violent

And since clearly, this is not the case in Nigeria the UN's intervention or the attention of the General Assembly, the Secretary - General or any preventive strategy & recommendations that will defuse the situation is further out of the question

So people who understand how world politics & the UN works know that the Envoy or Representative will come & speak English after setting up some "Fact Finding Investigative Panel" of which Buhari's government will answer every question which frankly they can considering the governments response to the situation in light of the events of the past weeks then the UN will call for peace & understanding, leave and the 30 days protest will amount to nothing but a civil exercise

The second issue is that of protesters carrying the Nigerian flag during protests. Clearly the youth don't know the army. No long talk here, just take a walk through history. Look at what happened in the villages of Vasae, Anyiin Iorja, Ugba, Gbeji Sankera and Zaki-Biam in Benue Or the popular case of Odi in Bayelsa

Recently Buratai's proposal to bring in the army was rejected; That was the government politely telling you "It have do, we're tired of the protest", and Crocodile smile has been launched recently with the army chief making an open declaration, saying "The army is loyal to the president"

This is the time to be cautious & smart. Sustaining a 30 day protest with the hopes of an unpredictable intervention should not be the new focal point. I strongly feel the moment the hypocritic union known as ASUU calls off their strike & resumption dates are announced, the movement automatically loses half its protesters.
But in any case; We shall vanquish.
