That was really great, but the protests wasn't finished yet, we'll still need to get rid of other dishonest politics :)

This is a lucky country i must say, here in Nigerian 🇳🇬 where i come from, such protest does not or maybe i would say is not recorgnized by the Government of the day, they will rather tag you wailers for prostesting on poor performance by the government.

Currently the president of my country mohammed Buhari, was a former military head of states during the millitary rule in Nigeria, today he is returned to power as one of the democratically elected president.

During his rules as a military President, the administration could not show anything other than corruption and nepotism. Now as a democratically elected president, he has not change from what we know him to be.

Do you know that there is a bill in the house of assembly to "Sentence citizens who complain about its Givernment".?

Thousand are losing thier lives, especially in states like Benue and other northern states, due to his "i don't care style of leadership.

In Nigeia, if you protest, you go to jail,
In Nigeria if you protest, the police who are supposed to protect u, will spray canister on you.

Help Nigeria, alot of people are dying silently.

I also think so
