This is looking like a lowkey revolution


WE NIGERIAN YOUTHS, I AM PROUD OF YOU.

Shed4peace:
I see a serious revolution coming. and for those of

you doubting, have you read about the Arab spring

and studied how it started? A time is coming
when Men/Women will wish they were Nigerians

John Elton prophesied it about forty years ago. In his words which I'll paraphrase. "Nigeria will be known for corruption all over the world. The name Nigeria will be synonymous to corruption. But in a short while, Nigeria will rise again, anyone who lays hold of a Nigerian will say I will go with you...............

Let's keep praying for the ongoing revolution

lathrowinger:
Proudly Afonja, flat head, plz come celebrate with us...

MinorityOpinion:
Things you should be worried about instead of tinubu

1. Potopoto road in the East
2. Ohu/Osu in the East
3. Inequality of male/female child
4. Selling daughters in the name of marriage
5. Female child not able to inherit her father property

twilliamx:
R.I.P

ArmedRobber:
you re indirectly mocking yourself.
Cos there was no protest in south east.

Lagos , ogun, oyo, osun, delta, Edo, rivers and Abuja was at the fore front of the struggle.

SLAP44:
Just as I left the hospital.

Before I got to the intersection.

They pulled before us in a black Toyota Sienna.

Blocking us from moving further.

These men.

In black and blue jeans.

And black tight t-shirts.

Heavily armed.

Sunglasses as usual.

Climbed out of the vehicle.

My driver exhaled heavily.

"These people again."

Eight men.

Two moved toward the Taxify.

Gun raised.

Cocking their rifles as though they had caught a criminal.

I sat calmly.

If you are a young man who frequents Taxify or Uber in Lagos, you'd probably get used to that embarrassment.

I had nothing with me just my phone.

And the medication I had gotten from the hospital.

I was so weak.

Massive headache.

While they approached I asked my driver.

"Who are those guys?"

"Haaa. Bros, na SARS o."

I said.

"I thought they have banned these guys?"

He looked at me.

"For wia. Na today?"

I sighed.

The two approached one on each side of the car. I kept my hands in plain sight and made no sudden moves.

One of the men shouted at my driver.

"You no go wind down? Abi you want us to beg you?"

The Taxify driver quickly hit the window button as he screamed forcing a smile.

"Aaah officer of the law no vex, sir! I throw way salute."

The one who had shouted approached my window.

I was looking away.

He shouted.

"Oga, you no dey greet person abi you no see us?"

I slowly turned my head and looked at him.

"Officer, good afternoon, sir."

"Afternoon. Who are you?"

I was about to answer.

He shouted.

"Oga, come down?!"

One of his folks standing a few steps away shouted.

"Who be dis person wey no dey hear us? Na one of those protesters? Devil go welcome am for hell now if he be one of those protesters."

He cocked his gun and approached my Taxify.

It was a lonely road.

No onlookers.

A few cars passed by the other side of the lane.

I gently got down from the car.

I greeted again.

Both of them.

"Officers, good afternoon, sir."

My driver came out and said.

"Na my passenger! I pick am from that hospital down the road."

The one who had asked me who I am shouted at him.

"Shut up! Did we ask you anything? You dey mad? Your moda!"

Then he turned to me.

"Oga, who are you?"

"My name is Kyrian Chiemelie, sir."

"What do you do? Wetin dey your pocket?"

"I am a writer, sir."

"Journalist?"

"No, sir. Author, scriptwriter, filmmaker, sir."

"Oga, wetin dey your pocket?"

"My phone, sir."

"Bring it out."

I dug out my phone.

"Unlock it."

"Why?"

The other one shouted attracting the rest, pointing his gun at him.

"You are asking us questions? Are you stupid?"

I said.

"No, sir. But none of you has the right to search my phone. I didn't do anything wrong."

One shouted, running toward us.

"Who dey yarn that rubbish? Na one of the protesters? Shoot the modafuvker!"

The other one said.

"We never know na when we search him phone we go know."

The Taxify driver said to me.

"Please, unlock your phone. You know what is going on already."

The one pointing rifle at me shouted.

Eyes widened.

Dark lips.

Unsmiling face.

"Oga, unlock your phone for the last time!"

As I used my fingerprint he snatched my phone from me immediately.

Handed it to the last folk who approached us.

He seemed to be the leader.

He started to go through my phone as he said.

"What did you say you do again?"

"I am a filmmaker, sir."

"Actor?"

I shook my head.

"Basically writing."

He looked at me.

"You look tired."

I said.

"I just dey come back from the hospital. The one down there."

"Wetin dey do you? COVID-19?"

"No, sir. Na stress and little sickness. My doctor has given me some tablets, I will be fine in a couple of days."

As he scrolled through my phone the others watched.

Gun pointed up, down. A few at me.

I remained chilled.

He asked.

"And you are not one of the end SARS protesters."

I remained silent.

One of them moved toward me as though he wanted to hit me his rifle.

I dodged.

"Oga, dey ask you, you dey ignore am."

The man said.

"Leave am. Make I see end SARS pictures on his phone first and he is gone with the gun."

I was still silent.

A few minutes later.

One said to the one with my phone.

"Oga, did you see any pictures of end SARS on his phone?"

"I never see one."

I said.

"Sir, can I go, please? There is nothing on my phone."

He looked at me.

"Are you teaching us our job?"

"Not at all, sir. But there is nothing on my phone. My doctor said I should not stand too long."

Two laughed.

"You dey tell us na. We wey no get doctor make we die. We wey dey use chamist cure our infection and malaria."

I didn't say a word.

One of them approached me and showed me some images on his phone.

Dead bodies.

Fresh corpses of youth, both male and female.

Lying by the bush.

Blood gushing from bullet wounds.

I looked at him, in fear.

He said.

"Shey dem dey shout end SARS we no dey catch anybody again o. But na make we see pictures of end SARS for person phone the person is gone. Dis ones wey you dey see so na some of the protesters o. Shey dey don die like dis? Dey will keep dying."

One shouted at him.

"Why you dey tell am this thing? Why you dey leak our secret? Do you know who he is?"

"Shey he talk say na filmmaker? He won't do anything."

Goosebumps rushed over me.

In actuality of how these guys are killing in reckless abandon.

The one with my phone said.

"I no see anything for him phone. He is free to go."

He handed my phone back to me.

Then said.

I took my phone and said.

"Thank you."

As I headed back to the Taxify, a Lexus Jeep was approaching behind us.

They rushed immediately and flew it to stop.

The Taxify driver got in and we started to drive off.

While I looked behind, watching as they dragged five guys out of the car.

About three wore t-shirts.

Boldly written 'EndSARS'.

The Taxify turned right at the intersection and I couldn't see anymore.

He shouted.

"Ah. These people are in trouble."

But I heard it barely ten seconds later.

It was loud from a distance. Three gunshots

sapientia:
IG should come and talk to his employers.

He is living fat on our taxes



Which will be the worst thing Buhari will do.

Nigerians will die in thousands but the government won't exist again.

No military can defeat their own citizens.

Even USA military.

crispus09:
IGP should address them now,I see if this protest extend to Monday military will be called in.

myBraine:
I don't understand

What's the agenda behind these protests?

Protesting against policing of the Nigerian people

I am in shock.

chinjo:
The government need to apply wisdom in dealing with this end SARS issue o. This is exactly how the Arab spring started o. This is revolution staring us in the face o.

Ezmans:

saaphiere:
Some traders? If you dig well into it you will discovered that those goods were contraband.

MacBan:
Bless you my South South brother... these three tribes are the problems we have.

Ginusa79:
Igbo drugsmen strike again!

These guys are hardcore criminal and it is now starting to seem like the curse on Ojuku is taking a toll on his kinsmen.

If this one escape this, he would have been on Twitter beating his chest and claiming to have developed Cambodia, Australia, Nepal, Pakistan, and etc.

saaphiere:
Watch the video you'll see how criminals who want SARS to end tried stealing tyre from police vehicle parked in that station.

Only criminals and beneficial of crimes want SARS ended.

Ezmans:
u see life a Yoruba man refused to pay a hausa okada rider, that is there life, they can't work but wants to enjoy life

Charleys:
Am I the only one who's also wondering how Igbo came into this topic. A topic about Hausa and Yoruba.

Tyrant28:
The are waiting for instructions from the swine in chief, Lamidi cownu

big7:
How is it a crime if I focus my primary attention to self development and that of my kins men?
You despise me and still want me to carry you along by showing you how I make a living out of what I do be it legal or illegal, no that can't be possible. Igbos have got an ideology they run with "brother is always brother" yes disagreement may ensue between them time to time but that ideology still remains with a average igbo man. This issue of Igbo apprenticeship system is what that region has used to pick up themselves from the ruin the govt made in that region during the massacre and total drawdown of human capital and development in that region during the unholy civil war which they call it.. They have come together unconsciously and have developed themselves in trades which they know how to do best. How else would you want me to bring in a total tribe man who doesn't maybe share in my ideology about life and how I perceive things from home to run a business in apprenticeship successfully? That a daunting task which even other tribes would not condole with if they happen to be in the igbo man shoe.. The igbo only have themselves to look out for themselves and that exactly what they've been doing and I pray they continue doing.. And about coming to a society and dominating it abeg see me see problem ooo. Shey na them tell the host community not to see possibility before he arrived that isn't a point.

E go sweet if e turn revolution...

tesppidd:
How is it possible that a speaker of house can steal in this magnitude and the governor does not? In fact all the 36 governors?

Is it because of immunity?
