Nigeria missed a great chance to force change. Protests of this sort are not just organized haphazardly like it was done with the #EndSars. I blame the organizers.

After getting the attention of the whole world, the organizers failed to clearly define a motive. Eventually, everyone tried to take credit not knowing they were dealing with politicians.

The cause of the protest failed when the IGP cleverly isolated Davido and later leaked a video of the singer denying ever being part of the protests. That was the day that the politicians poured water on the protest. The thugs were sent to cause mayhem and eventually, some state sponsored hoodlums were made to do all the bad things that later got blamed on the protests.

What the politicians have succeeded in doing is that they have carved a bad name for the protests and nobody wants to be associated with it again. A failed revolution is very dangerous because this generation may not get this chance ever again.

The organizers failed big time. They never realized that the game that they have started is a 3D chess and it can only be played when you use your head and not emotions.

I weep for this country

How was d protest organised haphazardly? Seems u are an expert in protest organisation. Pls share some tips. Who are d "everyone that tried to take credit"? Was davido at any time a leader or d leader of d protests? Was he appointed by d protesters and organisers to go to d IG & speak for them? According to u: "...the organizers failed to clearly define a motive". Pls has d meaning of d word motive changed or maybe u can enlighten us on how they didn't "define a motive"? How were d organisers using their emotions and not their heads?

According to u:

"What the politicians have succeeded in doing is that they have carved a bad name for the protests and nobody wants to be associated with it again".

How have politicians succeeded in giving d protests a bad name? Who is d "nobody"? How did u arrive at ur conclusion about how everybody feels about d protests? Are u speaking for urself or for everybody that u say "nobody"?

Lol cheesy

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for president.

Honestly, if Buhari read this speech to everyone.
Most Nigerians will applaud him.
You won’t be surprised that, she might become the president, and she will lack leadership spirit. Leadership role goes beyond, re-writing speech. Most especially in Nigeria. As good as Ngozi Iweala is, when she was the Minister of Nigeria, we all saw what happened. Even though, she really tried her best, she was flawed. That’s Nigeria for you.

Stop writing NONSENSE

The protest had no organizers

It's a protest of a bunch of Nigerians who were frustrated by police brutality

They made it clear that there were no leaders

However, one point they always made clear was that they would always remain peaceful

Personally I don't blame Mr President. The speech he made are not his thoughts. He mere read what the mr Adeshina penned down.

Blame the people in the presidency who is involved in putting up speeches

I beg to disagree, the speech reflected Buhari's mind. He tells the speech writing team what he wants to tell Nigerians and the team come up with the words, then it is read to him. If he didn't want to communicate that to Nigerians, he would have ordered a re-write!

Well yes coz she is igbo. If it was elrufai would u say thesame.

What's all this tribalism about?
Who in his right senses would reject a Good talk because the person that said it isn't from his/her tribe?
That's foolishness to me.

Same way they are saying it's igbos that looted and burnt places in Lagos.
Playing the tribalistic games to distablize the calls for the end to bad governance and protests.

Nigerians wake up and stop falling for tribal sentiments.

Lol, reason above your sentiments.

How can Buhari be talking about N-power etc during crises

If El rufai wrote what was written up there, I will applaud him.

He was the one that makes Abuja better when he was a minister.

Rise above sentiments, applaud when things are right, critize when it's wrong.
Then Nigeria will be better.

You can't give what you don't have!

The speech from the president came from a place of wickedness not kindness hence the way it was constructed and read!

While yours is from the place of empathy and sense of responsibility and thus the way it was constructed!

Even as at that, there should have been somebody that could have acted as a leader. You cannot engaged yourself in a protest that is not organized. Believe me honestly, that protests were not well organized.

For every cow dung deposited and shaped to look like human beings(Lauretta Onochie and Chief house nigga Joe Igbokwe)....there is a true Nwa ada in the person of Ngozi Adichie, a true and a rare gem. She is precious. We take solace in her every time Lauretta throws up her hideous and nauseating biles or every time Joe blows his disgusting snorts.

Dead on arrival

This is admitting that the army killed people at lekki.
This is proof that a section of the govt knows about the killing.

I am sorry PMB will not read a speech like this to Nigerians.

Lagos State government has already admitted that some people died

The only problem is that Buhari has refused to admit that he deployed the soldiers to shoot unarmed protesters

If we had a sane and live president and sane cabinet members as his advisers, then, this crises wouldn't hav happened. Chimanmadu's speach if written by useless Femi and his advisers or USELESS Lai Mohammed would have nailled this crises.

You've sense bro I reasoned the same thing the Theme End SARS stayed for too Long I was expecting a Front Runner to change the Narrative to clearly state our needs . I pity the dead ones it was a waste of time. The policians had the last laugh .
With this current Generation anything can still happen until that comes to light the end SARS protesters died in vain.

An average Nigerian is a thief. We all know that

The fear was that the appointed leaders can be compromised just as the NONSENSE that happened in Akwa Ibom.

Despite that, the demands were crystal clear. What government needed to do was to implement them without playing politics with it.

Besides, a news story by Punch showed that a panel of inquiry was set up to Investigative extrajudicial killings among SARS operatives since 2019.

The panelists sent Buhari their report, pointing out what to do.

To date, Buhari has refused to act.

That man is as useless as P in psychology.

Trust me, more uprisings will rise in the future and it will be brutal because people have defeated fear, learned their lessons and seen the weakness of the system.
