#EndSARS: “The threat to shut down the internet in Nigeria is real” – Activist, Abdul Mahmud

-

October 15, 2020

Popular Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo has commended Nigerian youths for the courage to speak up, and enjoined Nigerians to make good use of the opportunity.

According to Dakolo, Nigerians may never get this opportunity again, they should therefore stay focused and put their eyes on the price.

The singer also called for mobilization of thinkers and a structure to pull things through.

He tweeted,

This opportunity that has been presented to Us must not be wasted, I repeat, It must not be wasted. We may never have another in this lifetime . A golden opportunity to level the playground for every Nigerian. We need thinkers and structure to pull this thing through.

Keep your eyes on the goal, please don’t loose focus. We are this together. It is Our Nigeria.

Recall that, for the past few days Nigerians have taken to the street in different parts of the country to daily call for a total reform of the system.

The call started with a social movement on Twitter, requesting the banning of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigerian police force.

However, the relentless effort of the protesters led to the disbandment of SARS by the Inspector General of Police on Sunday, but Nigerians have continued the EndSARS protest in different parts of the country, despite the announced disbandment.

The EndSARS protest has moved from the single call of police reform, but to a total reform of governance.

There was commotion in a Nigerian commercial flight on Wednesday, October 14th, after a lady refused to put her “expensive bag” in the upper cabinet or on the floor.

The lady who was on the economy class of the flight, allegedly insisted that her bag is expensive, and therefore it cannot be kept in the space provided for luggage, and this hindered the flight from taking off.

The lady’s insistence on keeping the bag with her, left the cabin crew with no other option than to usher her out of the flight.

Giving an account of what transpired, actress, Belinda Effah who was on the same flight wrote,

The Expensive Handbag That Stopped Us From Flying

On Take Off This Girl Said The Flight Should Turn Around and Drop Her off cos she will not let her bag be kept on the floor or be put in the upper cabinet because it’s too expensive.

We had to make a you turn and security officials escorted her out not after she almost broke my phone for capturing her . I mean I needed to see the expensive bag that caused such a row and got her so riled up. So I had to capture it for the world to see.
