Location is very important.

There should be a location where protesters are to gather and make their noise.

The government or anyone should not attack protesters going home or going to venue.

Security agents should protect protesters from outside disturbance

Tear gas at protests: How to protect yourself and what to do if you are exposed

Using tear gas is a common tactic authorities use to control crowds at protests.

Before you head out to a protest, learn what to do if you encounter it.

How to protect yourself from tear gas

The first line of defense against the negative effects of tear gas is to do everything you can to prevent it from coming into contact with your skin. If you suspect you may be exposed to tear gas at a demonstration or protest, you need to wear as much protective gear as possible.

If you have a face shield, wear that to cover your eyes, nose and mouth. If not, wear a face mask and goggles to protect your face and eyes. Sunglasses or glasses may help some, but not as much as goggles or a shield. It's very important that you do not wear contact lenses if you may be exposed to the gas, since the particles can get trapped in your lenses and damage your eyes.

The primary way your body will be exposed to the tear gas is most likely by inhaling it. So the most important first step is to get away from
the area where the gas was released and find fresh air to help disperse it. Also, avoid touching the canisters as they are hot and can burn or injure you.

In a saner clime, this shouldn't be an issue. But Nigeria is a sort of intriguing case 🤐

I shock me when people talk about being killed in a protest. Why should protest turn violent in the first place?

For one, street urchins could be drafted to derail legitimate protests by those who hate to be challenged - and for as low as a plate of rice, a few snacks and N500, one can procure their services, unfortunately
