Endsars protest was beyond police brutality in Nigeria, it was more of years of economic hardship, corruption and maladministration at all levels of our government coupled with public discontent on government poor handling of covid 19 palliatives that weren't given to hungry Nigerians at the time.

The frustration, displeasure and dissatisfaction then quickly turned into impetus and dynamism behind the unprecedented protest that spiralled out of control with a lot of destruction and looting across Nigeria, it was eventually extirpated after much depredations, government had to intervene to restore law and order from the hijackers.

The lekki toll gate incident that occurred when soldiers shot dead unspecified number of protesters was another reason behind the tempest then, it aggravated the whole situation with the burning of government property and some houses of politicians that many Nigerians believe are the reason for our underdevelopment, it spread like wildfire.

The uncoordinated nature of it even made it more difficult for government to initiate dialogue, Nigerians didn't want anyone to claim glory of the situation and disappoint them by cancelling the protest without their knowledge and approbation.

The protest succeeded to some extent as the government eventually heeded their voices and announced the disbandment of the deadly police unit notorious for wrongdoings, policemen disappeared from our roads for weeks then, soldiers had to protect police stations from being burnt down by hoodlums that later hijacked the protest, several policemen were killed, vehicles and stations set ablaze.

Sadly nothing has changed on the part of government, Nigerians are still faced with several challenges, it is business as usual.

Innocent protesters that were killed by security forces during that protest are heroes in our minds, they will never be forgotten, we mourn them everyday and pray that God give their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

One day this nation will surely rise up

IPOB get stronger.

From my point of view, nothing changed.
Infact the security situation in the country worsened.
The fragility of this country is so disturbing it's like trying to repair a broken mirror with water glue those ones children use.
I hate to say it but the very Essense that is Nigeria is finished, we are living on borrowed grace.
