The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby has also condemned the Lekki massacre. In a tweet he stated;

"I condemn in the strongest terms the reported deliberate shooting of unarmed protesters in #Lagos and other parts of #Nigeria.

I have urged President
@MBuhari
directly to ensure that lives are protected - and I say that again now.

I mourn for Nigeria. May God save Nigeria".

Please break all your friendly ties with the Terrorist Lord Bishop Welby. Light and Darkness have nothing in common.

Recounting moments when calm air turned to sounds of gun thuds in Nigeria. Surely, 20.10.20 will forever be on our minds.

Fellow Nigerian youths, I write to you today, not as a tired youth but as a warrior who understands how to run to fight another day.

Let it be known that we got outsmarted. We ain't failures yet until we lose the WILL TO FIGHT. Hence, we must live to fight another day.

To this effect, I propose to you we re-strategize

We failed to understand how divided we are as Nigerian youths.

The effects of illiteracy amongst Nigerian youths played it effects.

Why the protest was highjacked can be associated with the fact that WE HAVE NO LEADERS, NO PLATFORM TO DISCUSS OUR MODE OF FORMATION. I ask, who go to a war without proper plans?

We ain't failures yet.

We need to re-strategize.

Note that this movement is bigger than you and I, our stance in the last couple of weeks will send chills and echos of 'vibrant youths' to the coming generations.

As an independent reporter, I went round Ibadan metropolis yesterday, I saw first-hand how some youths took to the streets to cause mayhem, they misinterpreted our movement as the normal "we no go gree" protests. I can't blame them. We couldn't harness our thoughts with theirs.

We had no time to carry them along, knowing fully well they lacked our level of understanding of the protests. It's never too late to re-strategize.

Roaming Ibadan yesterday, having interviews with concerned youths. I realized something cogent... WE ARE NOT UNITED AS NIGERIAN YOUTHS. Check live interviews on my page to see how our diversity is playing out in our numerous points of view. No one goes to a war with a divided house?

I got beaten yesterday by same youths we claim to be United. They blocked the road, sat on a major road while smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. I dropped from the bike conveying me around to plead with them to please show people more reasons to join us by conducting themselves, but I was rather beaten blue-black for disturbing their version of protest. This is how badly divided we are.

You may want to check my posts from last year, I addressed Omoyele Sowore to please go about his agitations then in a civil way, in a way that can allow other youths resonate well with him. I proposed we first organize a secured internet platform for our meetings.... But �

I pray for the souls of our murdered comrades to rest in perfect peace. For them, we ain't backing down. We move....

But differently now.

Since we don't have a leader yet, I Abiodun Itunu AKA Drabeey assume the position of an emergency Public relations officer to the #EndSars protest. (This tenure of this position will end immediately you are done reading this)

As an acting National PRO, I hereby propose that...

1. #EndSars protests be stopped for 3days. To take effects from 21.10.20 - 24.10.20.... So that we can achieve the following

2. I nominate Ebunoluwa Dunamis AKA Burna Boy as the Emergency Leader of #EndSARS and other protests. I believe in the Fela's image he harbours.

3. I propose Burna Boy with immediate effect select his national working commitee from the nominations of youths from their various internet platforms, using the #InominateNigeria for their nominations.

4. This National working commitee will with immediate effect work to create an Internet platform for our meetings.

The platform will serve as a meeting point to discuss way forward developments

Youths will be grouped into sections to discuss developments from their local government.

Selection of leaders to hold protests in their states.

Share and comment to add your views.

Aluta continua, Victoria ascerta ✊�

Signed
Abiodun Itunu (Emergency PRO of #EndSars protest)
