Bloody Tuesday in October!

Bloody Tuesday!

It has been almost two weeks since the youths of Nigeria have been protesting against police brutality, however it was not until the 20th of October, 2020 that powers that be in the Government high places realized that the demands of the youths were actually somewhat pertinent and un-negotiable hence they were compelled to take a different approach to resolving the situation they had in their hands.

The date 20/10/20 will remain a day of great grieve in the history of Nigeria. It is the day hundreds of Innocent, unarmed, peaceful and well coordinated youths protesting against several ills including but not limited to Bad Governance, Corruption, Police brutality, and particularly, a certain unit in the police department called the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).

The youths had over the days given evidence of the criminal high handedness of the men of SARS, in a very peaceful and surprisingly very organised manner.

Parties opposed to the peaceful protest: Government of Nigeria The Nigeria police The Nigeria Army

Casualties: No precise figures exist, estimates vary from hundreds to several hundreds

However, on the night of the 20th of October, 2020 there was a very well coordinated attack on the young protesters at the Toll gate area of Lagos state. It started with the tactical deployment of soldiers to the site of the youth protest, thereafter, there was purposeful disconnection and removal of the CCTV cameras around the protest area, then the street together with the illumination lights around the protest area was likewise switched off, the rest is now history.

Men dressed in Nigeria’s military uniform opened fire on the protesters even though they were not provoked and slaughtered hundreds of these young blood for no just cause, other than that certain reputations were being tarnished and or dragged in the mud by the protestations of these same youths they referred to as “Lazy Youths”. The government believed the protests to be a political threat and resolved to use force.

Hundreds were slaughtered and several hundreds more scampered with bullets riddle bodies, youths were heard crying out in pain, mourning in lamentation, and in total shock, not knowing what to do.

Painfully more so, the police escorted very well armed men in plain cloth (mufti) into the protest arena and gave them covering fire while these men shot sporadically at the youths who were unarmed and unable to defend themselves. On one occasion, one of those men in mufti was seen collecting a rifle from a man in police uniform and firing a confirmation shot on the head of a youth protester who was already shot by the police somewhere on his body and was lying on the ground.

The protests were largely peaceful, as the protesters were seen giving water and snacks to the police officers who were stationed at the protest venue.

The question now begging for an answer is “ WHO ORDERED THE DEADLY MASSACRE OF THE PEACEFUL YOUTH PROTESTERS ”?

The Governor of Lagos State has come out to condemn the attack on the defenseless youth which now puts to bed the argument on whether or not the youth were attacked without provocation. So who ordered the unprovoked attack on the youths?

Having been provoked by the attackers the youth protesters in want of what to do have resorted to attacking anything that represents the government to them, they have burnt down a couple of government’s installations yet the lives of hundreds of the youths that have been slaughtered can never be replaced.

There is a butcher called Pastor Yemi Osinbajo holding the office of the Vice President of the Zoo called Nigeria. This fellow is supposed to be the brains behind the decisions and or policies of this government yet he has allowed himself to be relegated to the annals of the administration. He has proven to be the most cowardly Senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in Nigeria. He has refused to speak up against the Genocide currently being perpetrated in Nigeria yet he is an “ADVOCATE & SOLICITOR OF THE SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA”

It is also not in doubt that God will give him the punishment befitting his Contribution and Station, together with what he has failed to do. I have searched the Holy Book and have not seen any weak follower of Christ, the Apostles were dragged through the needle’s eye for the sake of Christ yet they did not yield, but the Pastor will not let a strand of his hair fall for the sake of Christ.

As for the so called President, it is even doubtful whether or not he is who they say he is, a whole school of thoughts believe that the real President Buhari is long deceased and that it is in fact an impostor that is sitting as president of Nigeria.

Be that as it may, impostor or not, if that man has the interest of Nigeria at heart, he should at least play his role i.e. address the youths and by extension the entire nation, but he wouldn’t even do as little as that, hence the question, is the President of Nigeria a Nigerian.

It is now obvious that Nigeria is a failed State.
