*Who is afraid of the Nigerian Youths Revolution?*

Last night the Federal Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed was on the National Television, the NTA, ostensibly to educate Nigerians on what the Buhari government has done to pacify the EndSars Nigerian Youths protesters.

Maybe due to the weight of the subject or the scare most the government people have received since the protests started, Mr. Lai Mohammed, looked pale and sickly. He was beside himself without his usual gift of sophistry. And he, of course, laboured hard to do justice to the topic.

I was not convinced in the least. I do not know about you.

During the course of the programme, Alhaji Lai kept repeating the fact that the government had granted all the requests of the protesters and yet they have refused to leave the streets and allow for a free flow of human and vehicular traffic.

He even went as far using the unfortunate incident at Osun State involving Governor Gboyega Oyetola as a case study that the protests have been hijacked by what he called, " the enemies of the country". And he, like other highly placed Nigerians and the beneficiaries of the lopsided system Nigeria operates, is frantically looking for the the sponsors of the EndSars Movement.

In a note of resignation, Lai Mohammed who eventually occupied a major portion of today's Radio Nigerian news with his preachment on the futility of continuing with the protests, asked, "What do the protesters want?"

I will answer him right away.

Mr. Lai Mohammed, Nigerian Youths are tired of the system that has made Nigerians fugitives, refugees, and victims of government insensitivity, in their own country. And there are thousands of reasons for such a protest to go on and on.

While the problem did not start with the Buhari government but an objective analysis of his administration will reveal a sinister plot of the gradual *Northernization* of the Nigerian Federation.

Never in the history of this country has a President been this insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. Nor is there any comparison in our history of the kind of ethnic agenda the Buhari government is a champion of.

*are all headed by the people from the North*

Buhari has *captured* Nigeria for his people.


What Othman Danfodio could not do with his sword. What Ahmadu Bello failed to achieve despite his aristocratic posturing. What IBB never contemplated even with his guile. What Abacha never thought of with his brashness and devil may care attitude.

*But Buhari has done it.*

And will someone inform Mr. Lai Mohammed that none of the federations that were structured the way Nigeria is now ever lived to tell their stories?

Nigerian Youths want besides a holistic *Police Reform*,

*Judicial Reform*
*A People's Constitution*
*Electoral Reform*
*Civil Service Reform*
*Access to opportunities*
*End to Quota System*
*Reduction in the Cost of Governance*
*Health Sector Reform*
*Education Sector Reform*
*End to the State of Origin Requirement*
*Transparency in Government business,*
among others.

If President Buhari cannot guarantee the fulfilment of these demands in record time, then let him resign and go home.


In the meantime, *Let the Protests go on. Nigeria belongs to the Youths!*

*GoldFacts...the truth as it is*

SalamRushdie:
He will now be forever be remembered as the deputy to the butcher of Lekki Toll Gate

gidgiddy:
Some of the Nigerians who were indifferent or rejoiced when it was unarmed IPOB and Shiites being shot and killed have suddenly realised that the shooting unarmed protesters, no matter what what they are protesting for, is a bad thing

So unfortunate that it had to come to this for some to realise that injustice to one is injustice to all

360degreess:
I knew it will lead to that. After SARS was disbanded, I said the protest should be stopped and we should wait to see what they govt will do afterwards. But some frustrated people on nairaland were attacking me. Miscreants are attacking and frustrating innocent citizens on the streets, raping women, stealing from people shops etc all in the name of protest. . But some cowards are supporting them.
Now that the govt wants to deploy soldiers, I challenge all the noise makers on nairaland to go and protest. Let's see if they will come back and type nonsense..

DECENCY3:
We will not be happy until the salaries of National Assembly members are slashed and their seats are made part time jobs

Freshfish4:
Whether UN intervene or not, the protest must continue until the government fully understand that Nigerians are tired of keeping quiet and dying in silence. Soro soke !!!!!

streetfabulous:
Transparency is a key factor in trying to pacify the protesters due to the crises of trust between our leaders and the people. So who are the officers affected? Does the list include those who perpetrated the popular cases that the protesters are demanding justice for? The Govt should please embrace transparency in responding to the demands for justice.The days of fake shows of commitment and sweeping things under the carpet is over.

oz4real83:
Only 35 names . The list should contain over a thousand names!!! The number of good SARS officials is not up to 10% of the total SARS population

SLAP44:
As we #ENDSARS, let's support the creation of state policing for every state or even every region.

We want the best for Nigeria, where youths will be free to run their business and live their life without fear of police brutality.

We will continue to give recharge cards as we get them from the vendor, keep the campaign alive, take back your country from the wicked old leaders who have continued to allow us die in neglect.

rakazt:
Those Calling For Buhari's Resignation, Got Message For You...Osinbajo Must Resign Too! You cannot enter government through backdoor. You think you have sense, afonjas? Don't think Northerners will give up easily, they deserve to finish their turn. Stop bringing confusion and chaos. And no, SE and SS will not join you. What you guys did to GEJ is unforgivable. You brought this government to power despite all warnings from Igbos not to, you refused out of spite. You thought all these yrs Osinbanjo will clinch power if bubu was incapacitated, but you can't wait anymore to get him out by mob action. We are all for it but Osinbajo must go with bubu too and military(Northerner) will take over!

kenzysmith:
upon all this protests this people still ve still refuse to to get the message? Nigerians don't waste your time anymore cause this show this APC goons will not act let we the youths plan and look for a capable youth born in Europe or America to come and rule us to bring a world class ideas to rule this country let start it now not latter am ready to donate my own 500 hundred naira

helinues:
Are you guys waiting for FG to send military on our streets? Why are some Nigerians so selfish like this?

How about the right of others the protesters are infringing on even after the disbarment of SARS.

This is getting stale and boring

uptimum123:
Yeah only those in the street which means your not even there. Keep leading them on

Until we start they fight our self for the street

Una eye go clear

#EndProtestNow

Let the Government do their job

Ogonimilitant:
You guys are joking.
Nigeria will never be the same before the end of this year.

You guys refused to do the needful
It's too late to negotiate.

I will advise the middle belt states not to identify with the North. They will come to deceive you again.

Long live lovers of freedom

danyero:
How and why have we endured these atrocities for so long?
#FixNigeria

Maxymilliano:
Freedom is never voluntarily given by oppressor;
it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Well-done guys, good citizens of Nigeria appreciate you.

saaphiere:
There is power in oneness.

iwaeda:
The World has left this man behind

helinues:
We are yet to see the outcome of the dissolution of SARS.

Can't we at least give the government some time before staging another protest? First time officially that the government will listen to the masses not the political elites.

The #ENDSARS protest was about not wanting the miscreants called SARS to be harrasing us on our streets, with this constant protest, FG would have no choice than to send army which might more be brutal than the SARS.

We all want the best for the country but pls one step after the other.

GallantDuke:
Season of protest
Very soon students will protest against ASUU

35824L:
Atiku should leave this woman alone. You and your paid writers can't stop her. She will be confirmed to the shame of her detractors.

JAMO84:
Dundee, go and stop her na. Enemy of progress.

Valkrie:
They should make sure non of the old defunct SARS personnel find his way into the new swat formed...you can never rehabilitate a lion once he has tasted blood...e no go work...better they should retrain the old SARS personel and post them to Sambisa far away from any sane human being to go and fight boko people...!! They would help a great deal since they are expact at profiling criminals and checking people bags and phones...in fact Borno people have even protested on their behalf..and it take two to tango so the police head should do the needful..Simple..!!

SLAP44:
Same old wine in a new bottle

We aren't deceived.
