Hmm… I will rather die a pober than accept any help from this cold blooded set of monsters who clef themselves the government. The devil they say do not give & not take back with blood.
It is too late to accept any for of help from you now. Has the police brutality on innocent civilians stopped for good? No! Has politicians stopped earning armed robbers’ salary every month? No! And so many other untackled issues facing the country.
Hmm… My fellow youth, this is but a sweet ploy to erase the idea of the youth taking over the streets of Nigeria in order to end all these atrocious acts coming from these men in power. Well, I don’t think I can be arrested for airing my observation, after all it’s free world and a freedom of speech. So, if you like too, you can as well come to Togo where I am and flog me. Thank you!

Well, it is too late to accept any form of help from you now. Wait! Let me asking you guys a pressing question that demands honest but precise answers… Has the police brutality on innocent civilians stopped for good? Has politicians stopped earning armed robbers’ salary every month? Has an average worked observed salary increment? And so many other untackled issues facing the country.
Hmm… My fellow youths, this is but a sweet ploy to erasing the idea of the Nigerian youths taking over the streets of Nigeria in order to end all these atrocious acts perpetrated from these evil men in power. Well, I don’t think I can be arrested for airing my observations here, after all it’s a free world and also a freedom of speech. So, if you like too, you can as well come to Melbourne, Australia where I am right now and flog me. Thank you!
