Things to do before the protest begin

[Futurexxx]

As a typical Nigerian, we surpose know how we country dy be wen issues like this dy on, so I just say make I update people on one or two things them need to put in place before the protest start.

* Try get enough food stock for house: we know say the country wey we dy no dy friendly especially times like this, so I dy advice make we try get enough food stock for house already before the protest start, because things can go ugly, and price of things fit skyrocket, due to lack of supplies, so the wise thing to do now na to buy enough food keep for house before the protest start.

* Try withdraw enough cash : we all dy very aware say banks no go open throughout this period, so in other to be on the safer side, and to avoid pos wahala, na to get enough raw cash at hand before the protest start.

* Try fill your gas : to avoid story that touch during this kind time, e dy very important to say your gas dy fill already, because most gas station, if not all no go open, so to avoid all this wahala, na to prepare urself before the protest start.

Why do you think we must have to always go by this same wrong mentality that whenever protest is ongoing, we are going to experience crisis along the line, to me, i think  this is just a way of expressing ones heart felt on behalf of others concerning the conditions of the country and portray the image of what the people were passing through, government themself shouldn't make it brutal by engaging their security operatives on the protesters and the people also should avoid the hoodlums hijacking their protest, at the end of the day, we are going to achieve the aim, which is in placing forward the peoples demand from the government.

Na protest we do go for, no be revolution or chaos. It's a peaceful walk to demand for good governance, so the need to start buying and storing food is not necessary, because the markets will be open for people to buy and shop.

We need to get understanding of what we are asking for, panic withdrawal of money from the bank is just to hit up the polity, as it will make people to go on rampage. This is not a war situation, protest is fundamentally human right, which is why Nigeria are going out to protest not a call for war.

Our mentality about protest need to be seriously checked because what a lot of citizens out there think to be protest is not peaceful protest but causing of public tension, chaos and destruction of government and private properties. Just like the OP, many Nigerians need to be properly schooled about what it means to protest in a democratic setting.

Democratically, a protest should be peaceful and it means a public expression of disapproval on either the projects or programs of the government which must have been at the detriment of the lives of the people. It is another component of democracy that's beyond just voting but rather putting the government in check of their policies and programs.

Protests are often demonstrated publicly, peacefully by taking walks, rallies or sit-ins, strikes with inscriptions telling or reminding the government of their demands as well as creating awareness within the society. Which means, during protests, protesters can go ahead with their protests while others can stay at home for solidarity or go about their business needs not otherwise. So, when people destroy and buggle into other people's businesses and government properties, that's not longer a protest but violence and that's what brings about imposition of curfews by governments as seen in Borno and Kano and I think Kaduna, yesterday.

From my own perspectives I do not think I that this is what a good citizen of Nigeria will want to be before the protest begins (although is has already started yesterday). What we should be thinking about is that the government should see to our needs and make the costs of living not being able to kill the livings. Most importantly, as a good citizen of Nigeria that wants change in our economy, we should not join those hoodlum and destroy people's properties.
