The audacity with which the government and high profile stakeholders lies just leaves us all shocked and thinking why these men have been in power for the numerous years they have been. The whole protest, having been staged by the youth has been everything but violent from the end of the protesters. Though series of violent actions have been going around, it has nothing to do with the protesting youth but the police and hired thugs.
The spread of lies leaves Nigerians wondering if they can actually continue to trust their traditional news media because they still continue to air made up stories to turn away the supporters of the protests.
The Youth of Nigeria have a singular purpose and that is to bring the top brass of society to heed to their demands by simply using peaceful protests. No violence and no harm to be done to publicly defame Nigeria or Nigerians hence the series of peaceful demonstrations and prayer walks being done all over the country.
But even at this, hoodlums have attacked several locations of the protests in the hope of provoking the protesters to anger and retaliation.
Among others, some of the locations attacked by hoodlum are Abuja, Berger square where the assaulting groups were caught, beaten and taken to the hospital for treatment after they sustained injuries as a result of the protesters repelling them, let’s not forget the fact that these attackers destroyed the cars of innocent civilians and attempted to either kill or seriously injure others.
Other locations include Alausa, Jos as well as Benin City, while some of the attackers were waded off, some protesters sustained injuries.
The lies being spread by the government must not continue, the youth of Nigeria merely want a Nigeria they can be safe in, a Nigeria we can all call home and a prosperous Nigeria.
We see your Lies!
Lies, lies and more lies.
You have used them before and you never fail to rely on them,
Each time rehearsing your eloquence and polishing your ‘fine lies’
Wanting to discredit our efforts.
Wanting to toss all that we stand for.
But we will not have it.
You can tell your lies in your own media.
You can tell your lies on your own radio.
But since they are not credible, we will make our own.
And give the truth to our people.
But just so you know, we are tired of all your
lies and therefore you must go.
The oppression will no longer stand.
This evil must be purged.
A new era must be born.
Out of the ashes of the lies, you continue to spew
We will birth our nation and give it life anew.
This is good Eugene
