I personally believe that the impact of another endsars protest or other protests of that magnitude happening too soon in Nigeria will be too grievous for the nation to bear and all parties (government, youths, masses) must pray, act, negotiate, educate to avert any recurrence of such Protests.

It has become three different occasions now, after the protest, that I have dreamt of the ENDSARS Protests coming back to Nigeria.

On the third occasion of the dream, I saw Security forces of the government going from house to house to forcefully arrest the ENDSARS Protests leaders.

And the forceful arrest and persecution of the leaders of the Protests by the Security forces of the government eventually triggered another Protests much bigger than the first ENDSARS Protests.

I saw the back of multitude of Youths marching in a protest procession. Then a voice said 'this one will shut down Nigeria'

Let us even isolate the dream and analyse situations on ground. I personally think, based on the followings, that we cannot afford such protest again.

-1. Corona virus sent our economy to coma. Endsars protest took the remaining life of it and plunged us into the biggest recession since 1987. Definitely, another protest will shut the nation down, economically, morally, politically and otherwise .

-2. Our Police force was badly intimidated during the protest. As a result, Now, okada riders have gotten enough boldness to resist policemen.

Many policemen became victims during the protest. Many police stations were burnt. A report puts the number of police stations burnt at 27. I don't know if that figure is for Lagos, alone. Thus, I don't think Police will be able to handle another protest of that magnitude, if one should happen too soon.

-3. Government and army are already bickering over incidences of the last protest. It is not likely, army will be willing to answer government, should government call on them, in case, there is another big Protests, in the nearest future

-4. Hoodlums have gained access to some guns from the burnt police stations. That will put many lives at risk.

-5. The discovered palliatives have made the masses to see the government as not having their interest at heart. Masses may become adamant in listening to government persuasions.

-6. A new negative trend of massive looting of both public and private properties and businesses have been discovered. Many may just want to capitalise on that to loot.

-7. It may trigger ethnic clashes in few areas.

-8. International community may hijack it for selfish reasons.

In view of these, I think we should still be praying, orientating, negotiating, educating and take all actions that will not plunge the nation into chaos.

You are very correct.


I see Nigeria on fire-majek fashek

True

The masses have been suffering right from time, a man who can't afford a square meal won't mind if the country is on fire. Aftermath of the endsars, did you see any sign of government commitment towards good governance which was the objective of the protest? I think you should divert your energy towards advocating for good governance.

Your post is more like "reverse psychology"
