There’s limit to what a people can take. When you push and push and push the people to a certain level, they will get to a point they will start to not only resist your push but also start to push back.

That’s the situation in Senegal right now.

Since taking office in 2012, Macky Sall, the country’s president, has played a vendetta kind of politics and consistently used instruments of government to clamp down on oppositions and even disqualify leading opposition candidates from standing for elections just so that he can easily retain power.

This has led to over 400 political prisoners serving jail terms over different kind of trumped up charges.

But this time around, the people seem to have had enough and has taken to the streets.

What is interesting in the video above however, is that Senegalese soldiers who were most likely deployed to clamp down on the protesters are seen in the clip waving at the protesters just as the protesters hailed the soldiers in return.

This is totally in contrast to what was witnessed in Nigeria in 2020 when Soldiers were deployed against peaceful protesters in Lekki, Lagos, and what happened next is what we all already know.

I hope Nigeria is watching and taking notes to see and learn that there’s limit to what a people can take before they pushback.

SENEGAL: Soldiers waving as they pass through the crowd of rioters in Senegalese capital Dakar today.

Meanwhile Macky Sall's govt has just switched off internet to overcome countrywide #FreeSonko protesters.

Nigeria soldiers will rather open fire on the protesters and claimed that it was an order from the above

Nigerians are so used to breaking all the walls they are pushed to. But at this point, the gov must be careful not to push them to the edge. Because when there is no more wall to break, the next wall might become the ones behind the push!

THESE ARE WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONAL PATRIOTIC SOLDIERS. EVER READY TO DEFEND COUNTRY AND CITIZEN.

NOT SOLDIERS OF ONE COUNTRY THAT IS INFILTRATED BY TERRORISTS AND FOREIGNERS BY 60%. WHERE SOLDIERS ARE TRIGGER HAPPY TO KILL THEIR OWN CITIZENS IN DEFENSE OF THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS.
WHERE SOLDIERS ARE CONFLICT AND CRISIS ENTREPRENEURS AND PART TIME POLITICAL BUSINESS MEN.

SOLDIERS THAT ARE INTO OIL BUNKERING AND INFLATION OF BUDGETS.

Damn Africa...well peaceful demonstration is part of democracy and its the duty of security agencies to wadoff miscreants from hijacking the peaceful protest but I think in Nigeria 🇳🇬 of today u can't protest without overzealous security agencies using brutal force and is even worse in this balabu regime with tales of stolen mandate hanging on their heads...Nigeria doesn't have business paying subsidy just as Nigeria( with abundance of crude oil ) doesn't have business importing fuel in the first place...the real solution is not to remove subsidy arbitrary,rather to tackle the problems that led to importation of PMS ..the corruption in that sector is largely through having moribund refineries...fix the issue of our refineries and subsidy will die a natural death...u can't subject millions to suffer because of the incompetence and corruption of few people who stole all the money allocated to service our refineries. rather get them to vomit the funds and use it to get the refineries working again..but supporters of evil will rather not see the reality

African dictators.
I learnt that the incoming rubber-stamp senate want to pass a law that will make a peaceful protest illegal and unconstitutional.Tinubu that benefited from both violent and peaceful protests want to ban the same thing that he advocated for and enjoyed in the past.

Na Waa Oooo..


There is smoke everywhere,, yet they were singing and dancing and raising hands up as if it were a peaceful protest..

Meanwhile, the soldiers were hailing them because they appeared peaceful..
And maybe, they low-key supported the reason for the protest.

Nigeria is too ununited for an all-round protest...even northern Nigeria refused to participate in ENDSARS protest because they said it was a protest against Buhari.
