Prof Wole Soyinka, Mr Femi Falana , Dr Joe Igbokwe, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Mr Dede Mabiaku, Aisha Yusufu and others were out, fiercely protesting just a day after the hike in petrol price. These concerned individuals occupied Nigeria on the 2nd of January, 2012 following the removal of subsidy which came in as a worrisome New Year gift. Many of those, who led and participated in the Occupy Nigeria mass action are now old, tired and deserve to ceremoniously retire from aluta and its activities.
A good number of the 2012 fighters of good governance paid through their noses for the democracy we have today. Its sustenance and timely critique should not be a thing for them to shoulder; not at their age. What are we doing, in all honesty, for our today and the today-of-our-children ? With a numerical strength, an alarming number of youths amounts to laziness wrapped up in filthy selfishness and cowardice.
We don't need Mr Falana, Prof Soyinka and others for a protest. Comrade Sowore is just a leg into 50, hence we don't need him to beat the drum of revolution that should be hung on our necks. What we need as youths of a failed state or nation state is to muster our anger, frustration and determination just as it has happened in Sudan, China, Algeria and many other countries, and put an end to this misrule in its entirety.
