I decided to “keep one’s silence”, but my consciousness and love for Nigeria wouldn’t allow me as things are getting out of control.
The Nigerian government should please do everything possible (excluding the use of force) to get things back to order.
Whoever kept an eye on what happened in Egypt in 2011 must not have space to sleep in Nigeria of today.
The Egyptian revolution of 2011, tagged as the “25 January Revolution” started like a joke on exactly 25th January 2011 and circularised all over Egypt.
The said revolution was organised by the youth groups in the form of “peaceful protest” against the increasing Police brutality during President Hosni Mubarak regime but later turned to a bloody revolution, which set the country on the path of unrest.
Consisted in what later turned to a revolution were “demonstrations, marches, occupations of plazas, non-violent civil resistance, acts of civil disobedience and strikes”.
During the revolution, “millions of protesters from a range of socio-economic and religious backgrounds demanded the overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Violent clashes between security forces and protesters resulted in at least 846 people killed and over 6,000 injured. Protesters retaliated by burning over 90 police stations across the country”.
May we not have same miscalculation of Egypt, Libya, Sudan etc.
