THINGS WE COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY
Its time to stop making it look like #EndSARS
is primarily responsible for the current spate of robbery all around us. The protest is well intentioned, but robbers now gun down bullion van in daylight. This turn of events may consume us all.

Its unlikely there's any living Nigerian who havent received a dose of @PoliceNG madness. But now that we are becoming estranged with many people we share banter with, over a cause that's meant to end police high-handedness; this should make us take a step back in introspection.
That somebody added Rev. Sam Adeyemi's name to a criminal complaint filed in Abuja is like an acute madness to me. The complainant also told the court, rightly so, his investments were burnt. At this point, the people we should dread most are the conspiracy theorists amongst us.
When arsonists began to reign supreme, we won't be in this vicious cycle of unending hatred if #EndSARS lead players immediately pulled back in empathy, seeing that people's livelihood is what we are seeing, going up in flames, even if the peaceful protest is on a separate path.

After we tweeted it is govt that sponsored thugs to set cars of protesters ablaze in Abuja, it turned out these cars was somebody's business. The problem isn't in the conspiracy theory. Conspiracy mongers always seek shards of evidence, then contort it to convince others.
Nigeria's conspiracism is of a world class, most dangerous kind. We have advanced it to conspiracy without the theory. Just bare assertions and an animation of any viral public fury. If a contorted #LekkiMassacre scenario can’t be proved, then it can’t be disproved either!
The turn of events at Lekki Toll Gate is condemnable without a massacre. And If you believed there was a massacre but its appearing like your emotions sauntered through a toilet in Germany and appeared in France, retract and sustain the true context of the incident. You wont die.
I've been told by @GbenroAdegbola "I told you so" isn't the right way to make the younger ones come to terms with the objectivity we are canvassing and I completely agree. We truly need to make the younger people comfortable sitting with us, if they have proven reasonable before.
Similarly, if you're youthful and inflamed, dont seek to use this flame to bring down what others built in their youth like Access Bank. Does twitter cancel culture not portend our collective psychological ruination? No effort geared to kill will bring things back to life!
As with gaslighting, we seem not to be interested in #EndPoliceBrutality anymore but have been at each others jugular. While this mutually assured destruction is on, @PoliceNG will return brutality. If this is the final outcome of #EndSARS , we are at abeyance from common sense.
