The Kenyan Protest Should Not Be Nigeria's Democratic Model -Omeje

There is no way we can adopt their style of disruption and violence that we saw. The aftermath of EndSars is still fresh, as infrastructure was destroyed.

The property destroyed in Kenya belonged to various politicians,supermarkets looted,cars and houses burned all that belonged to different members of parliament.This was as result of impunity they displayed while Kenyans were out in streets occupying parliament to deter the members from passing the draconian finance bill.The members of parliament showed kenyans middle finger and passed the bill with 2/3 majority.No school,roads,public vehicle and monuments were destroyed.

[@ignatius7106]

Dear Nigeria, corruption always fights back.. wishful thinking and prayers wont help.. Asking an opinion from a person whose life thrives on a gangster system and status quo is naive and foolish...A coward will always look for an excuse to justify his inaction.. kenyans have always fought for change through protests, mobilisation and civil disobedience .. Not military coups, but civilians ... and we always know when to stop..

[@arieskibet6443]

Nigeria is not Kenya, Nigeria will not survive such an upheaval.

[@Dok2023]

Any protest is about government excesses and people feeling agitated with government policies. When people are tired with obsolete policies, you can't call their agitation a model. The man should be informed that the day Nigerians will feel enough is enough then a model will emerge. Treat your people right to save your fear. Properties can be rebuilt from taxes but generations lost will not have that time lost recovered.

[@Mr.KARANI]

The man in glasses thinks he has an Idea but he wants a status quo. I guess all his children are employed and sleeping in good beds.

[@kwabenajacques4735]

The time to act is not. The issues are the corrupt government. Nigerians need to use whatever model they deem necessary to take their country back. Dr Arikana calls this guy “the colonial mindset”. Power to the people. Kenyans refused communication with Ruto. They placed their demands and communication was finished until Ruto did the work that was given. Go home Chidi.

Nigerian dont go our kenyan way there was destruction of properties and stealing if it was peaceful i could encourage you.

[@muragegitari6052]

You are either a beneficiary of your gangster gov or a great coward, pretending to care about property. In case you don't know hired goons, by politicians, we're destroying property to shift the blame to protesters so as to.justify govs use of violence against innocent protesters. However, real protesters "visited" properties of the MPs who voted yes to pass the punitive finance bill. Those MOs are now humbled. Jn case you don't know the action by Kenyan GenZs encouraged Ghanian MPs to carefully evaluate any laws before passing them to avoid any future backlash, like "visiting" their property, or worse "greetings" from the Ghanian youth. That's progress. Don't you think?
