US Presidential candidate, Joe Biden has reacted to the shooting of #EndSARS Protesters by Security agents on Tuesday evening in Lekki area of Lagos.

Biden, in a statement on Wednesday called on Nigeria's president, Muhammadu Buhari to stop using Military force on protesters.

VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA – STATEMENT BY VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

I urge President Buhari and the Nigerian military to cease the violent crackdown on protesters in Nigeria, which has already resulted in several deaths. My heart goes out to all those who have lost a loved one in the violence.

The United States must stand with Nigerians who are peacefully demonstrating for police reform and seeking an end to corruption in their democracy.

I encourage the government to engage in a good-faith dialogue with civil society to address these long-standing grievances and work together for a more just and inclusive Nigeria.

Buhari may not even see the message. He may not even know who Joe Biden is. Those who take pleasure in taking innocent lives unjustly cos they demanded for their rights, will meet their doom painfully.

Visa ban or cancelation is the only language Buhari and his killer squad will understand right now.

In the Sixties (60s)
Our great grandfathers were promised one Nigeria will be better and great.

In the (80s)
Our grandfathers were told democracy would be the solution and the start of good governance.

in 2000
Our Parents were told to focus on vision 2020, that Rome wasn't built in a day

In 20.10.2020 (Vision 2020)
The Children of our Parents were murdered by the Nigerian Military who sworn an oath to protect them.

Mere tweets from Hilary and Biden will do us no good. Only the citizens can decide for their future... We must arise and say no to Buhari and his evil cabals.

It's only when this Nonsense that's happening in Nigeria starts to affect my Daily "Three Square Meal", that's when I'll React.

So for now, Buhari and Nigeria can go to Hell for all I care.

It was a very sad Tuesday.
We still have a long way to go in our country.
Human life is not regarded in Nigeria,
both by the government and the citizens who are also quick to lynch a suspect.

Naija youths, we will this at the end.
We are not asking for too much, we are only asking for a better Nigeria.

Lipscomb:
I'm begging the protesters to stop too. If their demand not implement by Government they can resume the protest again.

I'm sad to seeing the blood of our brothers.

Exactly my point.

Some of our demands...

STRIP EX-GOVERNORS AND ALL ELECTED AND APPOINTED PUBLIC SERVANTS OF ALL BENEFITS AFTER OFFICE.

INCREASE SALARIES OF OUR DOCTORS, NURSES, TEACHERS, POLICE, MILITARY OFFICERS, AND CIVIL SERVANTS

NAME AND SHAME LOOTERS AND MAKE CRIMINAL OFFENDERS, AND LOOTERS FACE TRIAL IN THEIR HOME STATES AND VILLAGES TO SHAME THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES

Interesting times.
I hope Nigerian youths that are part of us, the real protesters out there listen to the good advice.

When you know that if you shoot someone's child unjustly, your child will be marked out and killed too no matter which part of the world he/she maybe, then this heartless action of law enforcement and government agencies will stop.
If unjust action receives equal magnitude of unjust reaction, all will be forced to think twice before executing callous orders from their superior.

Thank you Mr. Biden for standing with Nigeria. The part in bold is inevitable and the way to go. While the military must stop the use of force to bring down the protest, the protesters must also meet with government to discuss how to end the crisis. The violence is unnecessary and doing nobody any good. We must de-escalate the tension immediately.
