When will Nigeria wake up? I mean, social media has become a problem for us because what exactly have we done with all the information we’ve gathered on this space? Every day, we expose corruption, discuss injustice, trend hashtags and express our anger. But what has really changed? We need to understand that social media trends/protests alone will not chase these hardened criminals out of Government House. Even when we come out to protest, a little tear gas from the police sends everyone running. Instead of preparing ourselves for the possibility of attacks and learning how to protect ourselves and respond safely to tear gas, we keep making the same mistakes. We have seen young students in countries like France stand their ground during protests despite the use of tear gas. So why do we keep going into protests without adequately preparing for the challenges we already know we may face? I'm not saying people should put their lives at unnecessary risk. But if we already know that peaceful protests may be met with force, shouldn't we be better organised, better informed and better prepared to protect ourselves? We cannot keep repeating the same approach and expecting a different result. At what point do we move beyond social media outrage and begin taking sustained, organised action to demand accountability? When will Nigerians wake up?
