EndSARS: 22-year-old protester whose account was frozen by Buhari’s govt speaks

“Nigeria is all I have, and I have a right to demand that it works for all of us, not just those with influence, wealth, or a government position,” she said.ALL I HAVE IS MY VOICE. I SHOULD NOT BE UNFAIRLY TARGETED FOR USING IT: RINU ODUALA

We spoke up – not because we wanted to overthrow the government but because we wanted the police to stop killing us. We did not carry arms, or incite any insurrection. Our only weapon was peaceful protest enshrined in Section 40 of our 1999 Constitution. At every point we maintained calm and educated our followers – reiterating throughout the protests that we were not there to fight the government but to ask for change and to follow through to make sure that change was effected.

Amongst other demands, we called for a probe into the killings and torture of people. The government agreed to setting up judicial panels. To assure young people of the independency and fairness of the panel, after nominations, I took up the role as a youth representative at the detriment of my education, personal life and family. I did this to make peace. I did to ensure our young people understood that the only way to create a better and safer Nigeria is to do things lawfully.

I decided to use the only currency I have, my voice to speak up against extrajudicial killings, torture, extortion and unjust harassment that is still happening in a democratic nation in the 21st century! The government also agreed that reform is inevitable and promised us they were going to listen, however they have refused to honor their promises while they continue to deny the lives lost and also target the same people who spoke up.

WHEN the youths representatives take over power, ALL current govt officials should just travel to a county without extradition because after their local lawyers have sucked them dry here, the international courts will finish them off for us. Their days of enjoyment are numbered

By 2023, they will try to make it very violent so youths won’t want to come out to vote. We should start planning how to do a Trump to this evil government. Trump is confused, so should the Nigerian govt. come 2023.

Hangry protest!

No more peaceful protest. Organise yourself and get your PC ready. Keep records of all the evil doers. When the time come we arrest them all and get them to give full account for every single innocent Nigeria killed under their watch.

Crypto Crypto Crypto!!! It's about 2get bumpy, 2023 is super far far away alot of damages could b done before then, remember mbuhari isn't seeking reelection & when Abacha was alive, Al Mustapha was a god! In mbuhari administration, there're many gods & dieties JapaB4uDie

Whatever act they show us today they should continue but come 2023 we will pay back with our vote.

The very last part is the crux of it; ...no future for this generation and beyond. How could we have known that this what Baba was head-over-heels for? Father Lord, please give us another chance, we won't make this mistake again🙏🙏🙏

The protest was not hijacked, it was attacked! Is it that difficult to comprehend?

We refuse to be dampened. We'll go through this together. Keep the flag flying SavvyRinu

Buhari tried to shoot protesters, the world came for his neck. He tried to ban, it didn't work. Now he's freezing accounts of people. Yet boko haram is running amok and getting free passes and some pocket money as well. Nigeria is a joke.

Shame to the govt

They think by arrest Youths and freezing account will scare youths. .. youths in diaspora, you know what to do to increase our politicians blood pressure, are there children living or schooling next you... Is time to send all of them a message...

Government is a charade,u want reconciliation and healing of wound inflicted by ur police on innocent Nigerians,and the only way you can intimate me is by depriving me of my money by frozen my account, reconciliation indeed,

SavvyRinu I thot Nigeria Govt said EndSARS doesn't have leader(s) during the EndSARS protest. How did they now know people to freeze their accounts. One thing am sure of is Govt can not silence all Nigerians.

You guys are all are definitely geneses of most of the problems for posting useless report... Why not concern on the issue of bandictory ...

I am still wondering why people who claim to be the victims should have a representative on the panel investigating what happened at Lekki. They are complainant and the judge.

I am so proud of you. You humbled me. Well done

Nice write up.

Na compulsory say this man must Rule Nigeria ? Go home alaye !!!!!!

They are from SUDAN bush cover their face

What a government! Shame!

This government is so pathetic. Anyway, expect nothing less from a government run by Cabals
