#EndSARS IS A METAPHOR

 #EndSARS IS A METAPHOR

Nigeria is on Fire! Why? Because the police that are supposed to protect the Citizens, are killing them. As that was not enough, the military went to Lekki Toll Gate to massacre innocent peaceful End Sars protesters. What is their crime? Just that they were asking for a good governance, a reform in police system and restructuring of the country to enable them to partake in governance and feel the Dividends of democracy.

#EndSars Massacre; A lot of conspiracy theories have emerged, all fingers are pointing on Buhari, and those that owns and manage the Toll Gate because Nigerians believes that, they ordered the shooting because of the revenue they were losing on the Toll Gate. Investigation are ongoing to know who ordered the massacre.

#EndSars we all are chanting!
But seeing so many lives lay lifeless, mostly the lives of my Peers (Nigerian Youths). One would ask a lot of questions. To make matters worst, during President Buhari's speech, he adds insults to the injuries by threatening the peaceful protesting youths, instead of showing remorse on those that have lost their lives during the massacre.

I know #EndSars is only a Metaphor.
A symbolism for total rejection of bad governance. Continued looting, unemployment, poor hospitals, rising Inequalities, poor education, rotten infrastructure, and massacres!

For far too long we've teetered between Hunger & Anger. Frustration & Oppression. Well the cup has now boiled over. We are fed up with decades of bad governance and deceits. We ask for a new page to be 'turned over'. Instead of the government to listen to the youths predicaments, massacre becomes the order of the day.

We want a Country where Leaders are listeners not looters. A page where there's Welfare for all. A page where the Ordinary person feels the Dividends of democracy. A new page where the West seizes to Offer a safe sanctuary for Nigerian looters! A page where justice is for all, A new page where the issue of first class and second class citizens or tribes does not exist.

Let's turn over that new page today!

Our flag is currently 'green, RED, green. There's no more life to waste! Our flag was green, WHITE, green. We want the flag back to normal! We ask for #EndSars!!!!

Now you all know, #EndSars is a Metaphor! So, I will like to appeal to the leaders to change their style of leadership. I will also appeal to the aggrieved youths to give peace a chance. Let's give the government six months grace to implement our demands. If by end of six months, the government refuses to reform the police and implement our demands, the youths should go back to the street with full force.
