The first duty of a government is to protect its citizens

"The first duty of a government is to protect its citizens from harm, both internal and external, ensuring the safety and stability of the nation." - John Locke

If I were you, I would avoid participating in the mass protest set to kick off tomorrow. Here are some crucial reasons why:

1. Underlying Motives: The primary issue driving this protest is related to the Oil & Gas sector rather than just Hunger, although inflation and rising prices play a role. The real battle is between powerful factions with vested interests, using the average Nigerian as a pawn in their power struggle.

2. Risk to Innocents: Much like the tragic consequences of the Israel-Palestine conflict, where countless innocent lives and properties were lost, this protest could similarly lead to unnecessary suffering and destruction for ordinary people. Remember, political leaders often remain insulated from the chaos, as seen when Netanyahu received applause from the US Congress despite the loss of thousands of lives in the conflict.

3. Government Response: With multiple powerful interests involved, the Nigerian Government will likely take strong measures to protect its position. The ultimate goal of the key players behind the scenes is a Change in Political Leadership, not necessarily the welfare of the people. This makes the situation even more volatile and dangerous for participants.

Stay safe and consider the broader implications before joining the protest. Your safety and well-being are paramount.
