You go just die for nothing and the VDM who lead you out will travel to China he won't even know u dead or attend ur funeral..
Endsars was bigger than this pple died and thesame pple who lead that protest some of them are working for this govt now.
Dont go and sit down.
I was at the protest today.
Let me not talk too much, but things almost escalated badly between protesters and the military, and it was only by a thin line that it didn’t get out of hand.
At some point, I moved closer thinking there would be proper coordination so people could pass, but after about an hour, rumours started spreading that VDM had left the protest ground. There was serious tension, with protesters insisting he must come out, otherwise nobody was moving, and roads were already blocked.
Then shortly after, VDM went live on IG from his house saying the protest had ended. I was honestly shocked.
Earlier today, I already posted that I was not impressed with how he left the protest ground, and I still stand by that.
Anyone who was there and close to his line would also notice that whenever chants of “Tinubu must go” came up, there were signals to tone it down or change it.
What I saw today felt like a betrayal and a deep disappointment to many protesters. You needed to see the sadness on people’s faces when they saw a live video of someone they were standing there risking everything for, suddenly in his house telling them they can now go home.
People were already at the point of serious confrontation with the military, thinking he had been arrested, not knowing he had already gone home. At the end of the day, if you’re going to lead people into something like that, communication matters a lot.
Beyond that, there are already many interpretations and conversations online about what happened and whether there were deeper political layers to everything. I’m not here to push any conclusion, but I think time will tell and more clarity will come out.
For me, what is clear is this,leadership in moments like this carries responsibility. When communication breaks down, confusion spreads quickly, and situations can become dangerous very fast.
What happened today did not sit right with many of us.
