JUNE 12 PROTEST IN NIGERIA TOMORROW || WOULD THERE BE ANOTHER BLOODSHED (SHOOTING)

avatar

Source

In Nigeria tomorrow, June 12 to be precise, there would be a nationwide protest to fight for justice and freedom of the people. The Nigerian government has not been fair to the citizens and is not finding ways to please the citizens instead doing things that would make things a lot harder for its people.

Now the question here is, Would there by bloodshed tomorrow? I can remember vividly that days before Twitter was banned in Nigeria, there was a threatening tweet by the President of Nigeria before it was deleted. The tweet read by:

"Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand."

What did the President Imply by this tweet and who is he directing this to?

Moreover, I can also remember that in the last protest, there were lots of bloodshed and shooting by Nigerian army on unarmed citizens. What chance do we have that it would not repeat itself. The president himself did not mention anything about the shooting in his speech in the last protest, is there by anyway he would care if another shooting repeats itself most especially when he has made a threatening statement beforehand.

I understand that this protest is for a good cause but still does it still worth loosing our lives in the process. The government is damn determined at wasting lives from the way that I see it and this has got me thinking, if at all we want changes in power and government, can it be done by protesting?

Let us see how tomorrow is going to play out. I just hope there would not be another bloodshed and lives would not be wasted. Since that is what our government is best at doing instead of finding ways to improve the country and making it a better place.

I wouldn't advice anyone to go for the protest, because I know the outcome won't be good at all.

Well... Start getting involved in the politics in your area and try to make sure things are done the right way.
If everyone can do that, then moving forward is guaranteed. It might not be immediately but it will come.

Look at hive as a community and steemit. You will notice what community effort can yield

The protest is beyond nans, I think it will hold with I saw this night while heading back home.

What other way do you suggest the displeased citizens can register their displeasure?

I dont know.. But is it worth the risk.

Sowore and Kanu are chopping their money.

Nans is cashing out

Those pushing the protest are most likely going to be at home or well protected .

If it's a peaceful protest, I'll support that. True, corruption has eaten to every body fibre as the agitators are not clean themselves. We truly need real change.

I guess will just keep praying and hope things get better in due time

You are definitely Nigerian.. What I am hearing at the moment is that police are carrying protesters. The thing is, why are they arresting them. Are the protesters not fighting for peace?

I wonder. A protest that was supposed to be peaceful. This government clearly don't care about the plight of it's citizenry

Do you think this is just because protest is not they way?, or bribery has something to do with it.

Why did they announce the protest in the first instance, why didn’t they call it off till some few hours before the d-day ????????

Don’t you think there Has been some behind closed doors meeting ?.

In Nigeria, we are the disrupting our progress, everyone it after their personal rewards.

I might gather people to protest, later called to the dark and tipped off, then I go back to the people and tell them how dangerous it is to protest asking them to go back home.

When then will this country move forward.

This is why I won’t be joining anyone to protest in Nigeria, not in this lifetime. Knowing fully well that after some people has been killed, the once to gathered the protest will be bribed and forget anything ever happened.

You have said it all brother. The problem is with the people. if we want a change we should start by looking holistically.

The way to end this is not by fighting with the people in power already. It is by finding ways to harness the energy of the youths.

I hear youths say they are not interested in voting and some other funny thing. How can you mot be interested in the power that might determine your life if you don't have a means of leaving.

Well, protest is not the way. Doing things right from your circle is the way.

It starts with us. If you are given a government job do it the right way till you get to a position of power.

When you get to that position, stop every wrongdoing that is within your power.

The pressure is already everywhere and I can assure you that nobody can fathom the type of situation that will fix us tomorrow.

What I pray for is for the security of lives and properties and I believe that God will help all of us to see the end of tomorrow.

Well, all hands on Deck. Let's stay safe

I hope the protest will be peaceful as planned. Would be sitting out on this one though as I don't trust this government. They can be really crazy as they don't regard human life

….is there by anyway he would care if another shooting repeats itself most especially when he has made a threatening statement beforehand.

The question is not would he care if Nigerians die, if there will be any gunshots on any unarmed citizens, I want you to know that Mr president gave the orders.

I understand that this protest is for a good cause but still does it still worth loosing our lives in the process.

I am sorry to say this but, Nigeria is not a country one should think of loosing his life for, any one who dies in the course of any protests has just gotten his families into great loss.

What is the essence of fight when you definitely know you’re not going to get what you’re fighting for.

I am a true born Nigeria, I love my country, I love my motherland, and will be willing to do anything for it, but in this situation, I don’t think dying for the country will any ways bring a difference, I lot has died in the course of trying to make this country a better place, and nothing, I mean nothing has changed.

At times soldiers retreat not because the battle is over or they accept defeat, but to live to fight another day.

These words hit me and truth in it. The country is a messed up country and not worth wasting our lives over. Hopefully things would get better in time.
