All is not well in the world today, and no, this is not about Trump’s executive orders. It is that the government keeps cooking up ways to stop Nigerians from protesting against it.
Some days ago, 2baba rallied Nigerians with a message calling for a protest against the economic hardship this government has put its citizens through.
But then the opposition rose up: SA to Buhari on social media, Lauretta Onochie, gave 2Baba an unnecessary challenge. The Buharists also came out to say they will be protesting against the protesters.
Now it’s the Lagos police saying the won’t allow the protest to hold because they have received information that it would be hijacked by hoodlums.
Well, here’s what Nigerians have to say:

So @MBuhari and @ProfOsinbajo have turned Lagos police on Nigerians who want to lawfully protest against hardship.
