The National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, Thursday, disassociated itself from the purported second #EndSARS protest to hold on December 7, 2020.

Speaking with Vanguard, the President, NYCN, Solomon Adodo, said it is totally unnecessary to call or mobilize for second round of #EndSARS protest across the country.

According to him the NYCN has not been contacted about the second round of EndSARS protest, but have heard about it, while they are engaging youths across the country.

He said: “We at the National Youth Council have not been contacted about second round protest of #EndSARS but we are hearing about this and also engaging with the Nigerian youth.

“With the last count during the last protest we made our doors open to Nigerians and said if you have any challenges come to us, contact us, and we are not only having offices in the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory but also online real time.

“And if the Nigerian youths have these challenges they should come and we will see how to address them. We cannot address problems only by protest, and protest will only exacerbate and take a turn to crippling the economy, and we saw how Nigeria was shut down during the first protest, and we are already facing an economic recession.

“So we need to be wise, this country is not just about Buhari or a governor somewhere. It is about us also, we have roles to play, but what we are telling the Nigerian youths that if they have any challenge we are equal to the task rather than engaging in another round of protest.”

He also acknowledged that the first #EndSARS protest at the end resulted in loss of lives, livelihoods, businesses, and property, and it will be inhuman to embark on another protest seeing the damage caused by the latter which has led and plunged the country into economic recession.

“The first protest we had lives were lost and properties were damaged, and therefore these are factors we should not temper, joke or toy with. We therefore advise the Nigerian youths to explore other channels to ensure that if we have grievances they are heard and also addressed. We at the National Youth Council will also be there”, he stated.

Meanwhile, on the update of government meeting the demands of #EndSARS protesters, he said the Council is following up on that and other issues as well.

“We have been following up on the demands of the #EndSARS protesters and we know very clearly that the demands we have 5for5 demands and general demands on issues of governance and the rest of them.

“We see the #EndSARS thing that SARS was disbanded and we heard that SWAT is to come up, and now also we have not gotten new cases reported to us at National Youth Council on molestation. We are not only looking at brutality from the Nigerian Police but from any other security agency including the military and others.

“We heard of other issues and engaged with these security bodies both the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Police and others. So government on ending SARS but going forward we want to see that human rights are totally and strictly obeyed.”

He also called on government to take the unemployment issue seriously as a major panacea to youth grievances and frustration, though acknowledged efforts by the Buhari-led government through social intervention programmes to address it, but said there should be proper implementation and monitoring that would produce the expected results and impact on the lives of young people and the economy in general.

“Government should religiously look at the complaints of unemployment. It is not about throwing funds out there but should be strictly monitored for implementation for productivity.

‘We call on the government to address this issue and working by ensuring that these funds are injected to ventures that triggers productivity, economic growth and also that are measurable, translate to the betterment of Nigerians and create jobs for us.

“These are the key areas. If we have our youths engaged meaningfully and employed you will find less of them on the streets protesting. So that is one are government should really wake up and double up effort.

“We know a lot is being done but these efforts should be targeted at achieving results, these efforts are good intentions but like I will say outside as quoted in the collection of Essays, ‘Good intentions are not enough, these intentions translate to clear actions with proven results that impact on the people’.”

This government obviously wants to be forced out of government

As if you were part of the first #endSARS

The fact that #endSARS has no leader or is not drawn from every national body, makes it more popular and radical.

We know you people and National Association of Nigerian Students ( NANS ), are just an extension of Nigerian government and oligarchy.


We don't care, the marching continues.

Were they consulted the first time? Their support is not needed

Lol .... Govt tactics : to dull the idea.

You guys have failed already

Come and force it out. Agent of anarchy. You will be shot at sight. Instead of voting with ur pvc, you want a backdoor to power. It doesn't work that way.

They should keep it there in their lands. No more madness in SW. Any non westerner that want to cause trouble (especially in Lagos) should be shot on sight.

This same people trying to cause trouble and anarchy in Nigeria hailed Trump for this unpopular words "when the looting start, the shooting starts". That is mere looting o not anarchy and dude was ready to give them fire for fire. No legitimate govt in this world will fold it's arms and watch itself forced out of power by disgrunted elements.

Shoot everyone of them on sight. There will be change of govt at the other side of life.

And stray bullets can also waste you or your loved ones in the comfort of their home or offices.
Nobody is safe in the day of fury.

You are part of them (ipob) that caused trouble in Lagos. U learned our language, eat our food and drink our water and still want us to be destroyed. Enemies within. Tueh!

Hahaha, who are this urchins? You were not relevant to the first wave of the "Resistance" and you won't be relevant in the second one. This are people fighting to get their lives back and not some political jobbers (NANS inclusive).
This new wave of the "Resistance" should be feared, the government and its security agencies have given the indication that they are not ready for reforms, so I think there will be no backing down this time.
Government forces may meet a counter force, if they attempt to play the violent card like in the first wave.

Long Live the Resistance

What and who is Nycn never heard of them before..

And he caused anarchy through it or went to the polling boots with his followers? Ans the question.

Who says I'm causing anarchy ...it's one thing to call for a president to resign is another for him to have enough integrity to understand he has failed and resign

We know buhari has little or no integrity what so ever


The question is has buhari failed or has he done well ?

You want us to believe a Yoruba man would be fighting for Buhari like this? When even Northerners are tired of him??
It's only Northerners that concluded Endsars protest was to remove Buhari

Why everybody dey claim Yoruba for this forum?

You are not a Yoruba. No Yoruba sons and daughters will watch his home state destroyed under the pretence of endsars.

Weda failed or not is subjective. His govt have embarked on massive infrastructural projects even in the the 5%er region. But he failed in security. Can we say he is a total failure?

Name one major infrastructure development buhari has started and completed ...

Started? Yes
Completed? Is subjective. There are train stations all over the country. Some completed, some under construction. 2nd Niger bridge is also being worked on.... A bridge that Jonathan rejected.

Actually no Yoruba supports the use of thugs and soldiers to attack their children who were expressing their displeasure,

There are 2 groups of people who burn villages/buildings and they are Fulani herdsmen and the Nigerian military

Your second paragraph is a total lie and you know it. Properties were burnt by pissful protesters parading themselves under endsars. Those arsonists are mostly likely outsiders from the 5% region who hates Yoruba with all passion.

You're nothing close to Yoruba, you've been busted many times. Stop parading yourself as Yoruba.

Anyone born of woman that wants to start any unthinkable EndSARS protest in Lagos again will be refused vehemently by Yorubas. You all should go to your state and protest.

WHAT SARS DO YOU HYPOCRITES WANTS TO END AGAIN?
WHAT SARS?

The 5% supported Amotekun
I remember the region that went all over National TV calling Yoruba elders irredentist, and other unprintable names, the clowns even asked Yorubas to chose BTW protecting themselves and becoming president LMAO
If yorubas decide to have their own country, we know the region that would declare war,
Gani Adams has never had issues with the 5% but you Northerners have fought every other tribe including yourselves,
