I just read this beautiful thread and I'll like to give a robust reply on it....
It is guaranteed in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria the right to protest....but, all rights guaranteed in the constitution aren't absolute.. https://twitter.com/Joshibirogba/status/1325766862659964929

The president said it in one of his address and also governors supported the agitation of #EndSARS especially Lagos and Oyo.
For the first time I'll say the president was proactive in giving directives about scrapping the unit...
Several intellectuals came up with the idea of

Dialogue and the protesters disagree citing different reasons on how organic the protest is and they do not have leaders...That alone will always give the government doubts over the genuineness of the protest...
Any government in power will always have a belief that it was

becoming politically motivated..
SARS has been scrapped immediately and it was proper for us to give the government time to see if they were serious this time..
Infringement on the movement of people and stifling of livelihood is of the same people we are fighting for is counter

productive..
No where have I seen or read a sponsored protest from local and international community..
over 130m was raised in the space of 10 days and that will always give room for suspicion...
Protest as simple as it sounds, is the easiest way to perpetrate evil by some

Unscrupulous people...It will always be hijacked...
The youths on twitter who went to protest aren't d only ones Involved in this protest..
A protest that lacks representative leadership for dialogue but has a team of "supposedly selfless members" who are in charge of receiving

And disbursements of funds is one of the wonders of the world..is that leadership by proxy?....Why are they scared to bring in a representative to dialogue with the government?
You talked about Rinu's involvement not being an issue, yes, it shouldn't be but will @tfk_gawat

@SalmanDuke or @bravefacefunkie be allowed to sit on that panel knowing fully well where their Political loyalty lies?
As a good estimator, you must b Unbiased, sufficient, consistent and efficient...
Rinu has a Political leaning and that alone doesn't put her the good light to

Sit on that panel knowing fully well it might bring a divide btw the pro party supporter the opponents..
A neutral person who doesn't support a party is all we need to sit on that panel so as to allow transparency, remember everyone has its price.

You mentioned in one of your tweet that the president protested while he was in the opposition, yes he did...How long did he protest?
Did they stifle the Economy?
Were roads blocked?
Was the protest hijacked?
Does it lack leadership?
These are questions I'll like you answer.

End SARS metamorphosised into "Buhari must" and you think any government in power will tolerate such?
Coupled with the fact that IPOB and Sowore were already joining the movement to cause unrest in the country...

You talked about different protesters being killed and sincerely it is shameful that the president can't protect the lives of an average Nigerian..May their soul rest in peace..
But @Joshibirogba you refused to address the Babaric killings of innocent policemen that were killed

And burnt while their meat was shared as if they were having Salah feast..Are their lives not important too? Are they less Nigerians because they are police?
A lot of them were attacked and many had to run for their lives...
As regards putting a restriction on some beneficiary

Accounts, it is what any responsible government should do...With the amount of damages done all around the country especially Lagos, it shows it was becoming a targeted attack due to the fake news flying around..
The security of the country is paramount and they will not do

Anything to compromise it..

If these fundings were traced and they find out that donations aren't from known political actors in the opposition or a terrorist organisation, I'm sure the government will release their accounts..
I supported the movement and I stopped when it was becoming polical and my

Livelihood has been stifled by lack of movement.. Dispatch riders were attacked and harrased by Hoodlums..
I couldn't make deliveries across to customers who placed orders..
I came online and appealed to these guys, but all I got was that the protest is organic and it has no

Leaders..I can't be hungry and become a begger because I wanted the end of SARS..It is very glaring that a lot of key actors participated in this movement for various reasons...
We will continue to hold the government responsible and keep them on their toes! But remember no

government will fold it's hands and watch the country go into serious war or anarchy, the authorities will always fight back!
