| Make Nigeria Great Again: Open Letter To Nigerian Youths by IamPlato(op): 10:57pm On Oct 14, 2020 |
Please I need every youth in Nigeria to read this to the end Great Nation OUR PLIGHT MY PROPOSITION Dear Nigerians On a sunny day, SARS officials entered into a street with a small bus, my brother was sitting with his friends, on sighting the men in black they ran off except my brother, one of these men walked up to my brother took his phone and walked away with it while the others apprehended some boys, they never returned the phone. On a fine day SARS officers came knocking on the door of a young man, the neighbors told them he was not home, these men broke into the house through the window and carried his flat screen TV, his food and other fine moveable items and told the neighbors to tell him to come to their station On evening SARS officers broke into the home of a woman and demanded the location of her son, she told them he was not home and she asked them to leave which they did but not without harassing her. Once I witnessed SARS officers approach a guy withdrawing cash from a paga store, they waited till he finished withdrawing then asked useless questions and collected the money and left SARS officers stopped a guy walking with a girl and after asking series of useless questions they took him away and asked the girl to come bail him from the station SARS officers would sit in a small bus and be on the look out for boys who are well dressed and looking fresh, they would jump out of the bus with guns pointed at their victims and demands that he unlocks his phone and then ask him to transfer money to their account, any refusal will attract serious beating and eventually getting shot When you see the faces of these men you ask yourself where the hell did the government find these demon looking men Mr president how on earth did ex convicts and hardened criminals end up as law enforcement agents? These men will paint their guns with multiple colours like the weapon of a village spiritualist, their faces dark like demons, scars all over, breath like air from hell, strange smell from their body, red eyes. How the Bleep did Nigeria employ these kind of people? How do you employ criminals to keep peace and order in a country where they previously stole peace and order? You called then SARS but these assholes you called Special Anti robbery squad see themselves as SPECIAL ARMED ROBBERY SQUAD Mr. President, in this and many other areas you have failed not just us but yourself. These horrible looking men are legalized criminals who have tormented the youths for a while now and you pretended not to see them until the youths went Battle mode on you. Nothing you do can replace the lives lost in this era of blood shed and these blood will continue to be on your heads till the end of days The police force entirely is loaded with mentally unstable people not just SARS but the entire police force needs mental evaluation and psychological test. Police brutality has been a trend around the world of recent, police in Nigeria causing one problem or the other, if they are not harassing someone they are busy torturing someone, if they are not torturing someone they are busy beating someone to death, if they are not doing that they are busy trying to stop someone from breathing, if they are not doing that they are busy looking for young men to label criminals, if they are not doing that they are busy plotting their next plan of attack on innocent lives. It is now a case of arrest the innocent and set criminals free. The police will catch a goat and beat it till it confesses to be a dog They said bail is free but you cannot leave until you have emptied your pocket The police will arrest you without charges then take you to their station and go through their long list of false accusations then crown you with one that fits your face The men of the police force have heavily abused their power and position They tell you the police is your friend but all I see is devils in uniform Their duty was to fight for us but they waged war against us Their duty was to protect us from danger but they became the danger They swore a determination to bring peace but they are determined to take peace from us They swore to serve us but they began to ride us They swore to stand against evil but they didn’t just turn out to stand with evil they became evil This is what happens when power is given to the wrong people The police is an organization of oppression You were given power to protect not to oppress us and any abuse of such power will mean that such power must be taken away The inhumanity is too much on us these people need a rehab The Youths As for the youths, I am completely disgusted by the youths of my country where were you when this government came into power? Many of you voted them in, while some of you were busy smoking weed and fvcking girls, you protested against Goodluck Jonathan during the era of fuel subsidy when petrol was 96 naira but you all went deaf, dumb and blind when Buhari had fuel at over 150 naira Over the years you have all been saying “e no concern me” why does it concern you now? Is it because celebrities are leading and staging protests? Is this the first time police is killing young men? We ought to have sorted this long ago but we had to wait this long, you staging a protest now because you saw Americans do same right? It is now the era of internet fraud and many young men are in the fight against the police for selfish reasons You staged a protest without a plan, you aimed at ending SARS instead of planning a reform, what the police needed was retrenchment of insane and employment of psychologically sane people, millions of youths are living in poverty and joblessness, if you protested with an aim for the removal of all SARS officers and employment of the youths who are sane and capable of protecting a nation. The new SWAT would have been a formation of young bloods but unfortunately the new SWAT is nothing but old wine in new bottle. Everyday common market products continue to climb higher beyond the reach of average Nigerians, today my sister went out to buy a sachet of tomato and it had gone from 50 to 100 that is a full 100% increase, that is crazy and unfair, our parents who have worked for years till retirement have been refused their rights and benefits, a country that calls itself a giant doesn’t have steady electricity supply, roads are an eye sore, outrageous fuel price, outrageous bank charges, millions of youths are internet fraudsters, ridiculous senate allowances, the ladies are not safe anymore as they are exposed to rape, tribalism, terrorism, most guys now see every girl as a cheap bitch, every girl chasing chasing after material things have made themselves cheap bitches, people are going missing, ritualists and psychos are slaughtering people, youths are destroying themselves with drugs, of all the problems in this country na SARS vex you pass, you have forgotten that youths shoot and machete each other on a regular, clearly your partaking in the protest was selfish. What happened to protesting about electricity scam, ridiculous market product prices, what happened to protest against Fulanis slaughtering Nigerians everyday, what happened to protest against internet fraud, oh I forgot you dare not stage a protest against internet fraud because you live it and breath it with the excuse that Nigeria is hard, continue waiting for an easy Nigeria, even America is not the easy, competition is high all over the world, if you cannot make an honest living here how would you do it outside here I remember a young man in the end SARS protest claiming to be more sensible than Mark Zuckerberg yet he could not use his so much sense to make himself the richest man in Nigeria, his excuse is that Nigeria is hard The elders in the government may be corrupt but they are wise to understand that the youths of Nigeria are not capable of leadership, they see you as children not matured enough to lead, are they right? Hell yeah they are With the mentality of the youths today you will continue to remain leaders of tomorrow that never comes The last thing you want is celebrities leading you on a battle of change, protesting is one out of many things, when the heat starts acting many will go into hibernation, many will leave Nigeria for you. Does the celebrity understand lack of power supply? You need a leader not a celebrity, if you wish to lead a people you must drop every self proclaimed titles and lead Before you jumped into protesting did you ever try to understand why the police is so messed up? It is the same reason you are so messed up A protest will not win you the government neither will your vote, why? Because these men are masters of the game, to them you were born yesterday. Where were you when the election was rigged? Did you protest? You said e no concern you. A protest will only bring you more wasted lives and little satisfying results You are on track but fighting the battle the wrong way If you want to win a battle there are two ways to it, it is either you make your enemy your friend or you make sure they don’t see you coming. Never victimize yourself, protesting is victimizing yourself If you have decided to choose the later “make sure they don’t see you coming” then you will need the military and law enforcement agents on your side, how do you get them There are two ways to make an opponent surrender, overwhelm them with violence or give them an offer they cannot refuse. Trust me you don’t want to try the former because they win over and over but the later is your ticket . Somebody called me a coward for not going to protest, I laughed to myself and asked him if he has ever in his life sat down to make any plan for country with hope that one he would be able to achieve them. The nigga couldn’t answer. Have you ever sat down to make plans for your country despite not being the president? Have you ever made plans for businesses belonging to your friends? Have you ever sat down to make plans for others without selfish interest? I sat down for hours and made plans for a country where I am a nobody, plans that would shape this country for greatness I sat down and made plans for the life of my friends I sat down for hours and made plans for the youths of a church, a place where I am not paid And somebody who spent most of his life thinking about himself opened his mouth to call me a coward. You are a coward to protest because others did, you are a coward to make a move because others did, you are a coward to step back because nobody would step forward. A great man needs no one to leech himself to My advice to you is to stop protesting, step back, study and understand the political game because the youths are clueless about that, most of what you know are self related Before you wonder who this is, I am a Nigerian youth who never follows the crowd nor live by the rules. In lame man’s term, my friends like to say I am difficult to impress. Danny Walker I dedicate “Great Nation” by Timi Dakolo to all the youths in Nigeria. I am game for a REVOLUTION

protests:the youths need a leader, you all are protesting like herds with no direction. you need a leader to direct you all on a wise path. trust me this path you chose might look promising but its not what you think it is |
| Re: Make Nigeria Great Again: Open Letter To Nigerian Youths by protests: 10:19am On Oct 15, 2020 |
Though I am busy, let me educate you 1. You go and read the words of Solomon, the wisest about ants. 2. Go and read computers about the ant colony algorithm 3. There are over 7 modes this protests can take, you are only seeing Mode 1 4. In case those 1-3 sound alien, let me give you practical. Over 62million has been raised and well accounted for by the people who are "protesting like herds with no direction". Every kobo accounted for. 5. Up till now, 100s of thousand plates of food, snacks, bottles of water etc have been provided in hot sun to youths and police too from these ones without leaders 6. The logistics, online and offline is something your own government (36state governors + Buhari) can never ever dream of achieving 7. Without leaders, they have repelled deadly assaults 8. If this path is not promising, it is better than the path of your leaders and govt at all levels for over 60 years I have work to do. IamPlato: |

protests:You clearly can't see what I see. I don't really care if you see the protest outcome in a thousand ways. What I want to make clear to you all is that, you can take control of this government and still keep your life but this method you chose will only waste more lives that will be forgotten in a short time. Maybe you should read the article |

We have to be careful with our utterances. It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Nigeria is not working, but we can't protest against every single problem of this country because e no go finish. The ultimate solution is to find a way to make this country work for every single Nigerian. |
