US CAPITOL INVASION AND MATTERS ARISING

By PERES SAWACHA-DIYERIN

Amplified by Frank Ofili, a Nigeria’s patriotic contributor of progress and industrialist if note. Excerpts:

“How did this #CapitolRiots start? That same Trumpet Trump started it by saying TAKE IT BACK, just like your slang in Nigeria. So here is it: It was simply a PEACEFUL PROTEST, a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT of Americans as ENSHRINED in American Constitution. So why did CNN and other media outfit change the name of protesters to DOMESTIC TERRORISTS? What’s the offence of Trump that they blocked him on Social Media?”

So many times , I havel asked if BLOCKING roads during protests is PEACEFUL. That salient question has been evaded by those who should answer it for reasons best known to them.

But that is that!

Chinua Achebe once said “Those who have had their kernels cracked for them by benevolent spirits should in turn, learn to be humble”

Simply sum up #CapitolRiots this way: Do not mock a pain that you haven’t endured.

Nigerians can relate.

So let’s have a few conversation around this.
Yoruba adage says if a compound is calm, it may just be because the bastard among them is still a toddler.

How did this #CapitolRiots start?

That same Trumpet Trump started it by saying TAKE IT BACK, just like your slang in Nigeria🤣

So here is it:
It was simply a PEACEFUL PROTEST, a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT of Americans as ENSHRINED in American Constitution. So why did CNN and other media outfit change the name of protesters to DOMESTIC TERRORISTS?

What’s the offence of Trump that they blocked him on Social Media?😳

“All Animals are equal but some are more equal than others”….George Orwell

Let’s start from here. For America and Americans, ALL PROTEST in Africa is ACCEPTABLE and LEGITIMATE.

For CNN , Twitter and Facebook etc, once you see any PROTEST in Africa, it must never be stopped!

Just check the difference in approach. Jack the owner of Twitter opened his platform for donation to support insurrection in Nigeria.

CNN made their platform available  for ANYONE who could add petrol to fire in Nigeria during #EndSARS  protest.

You see, all animals are not equal?

To them, Africa is just a conquered territory since they have a lot of #SlavesByChoice individuals to use.

During any protest in Africa, who are the ones they VERIFY?

Those who can add more inciting statements.

Who are the ones to interview?

Those who can incite the people further!

Till this day , CNNi will not call what happened in Lagos a TERRORIST ATTACK. Roads were blocked, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway blocked for days, Some couldn’t drop children in their Schools. Police and Police Stations burnt because of #EndSARS.

Define INSURRECTION?

Let us to be known that there’s nothing they did out of the ordinary by entering the #CapitolBuilding on that day. People took #EndSARS  protest to the Nigeria National Assembly, it was well accepted as their FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS by CNN and the International media.

Any difference?

When the Military stopped #EndSARS  protesters at the National Assembly in Abuja, it was called absurdity.

When the National Guard was delayed at the #CapitolBuilding because Trump was not in his right mind, CNN and Americans were calling that FAILURE🤣🤣

Tell me what the Protesters at the #CapitolHill did that was not done 100 fold in Nigeria DEMOCRACY?

People literally went to block Airport in Nigeria and was well supported by International Media from USA as a legit process.

CNN’s Stephanie Busari supported the insurrection.

So the protesters went to #CapitolBuilding just like protesters went to the National Assembly here.

Did they stop them on time in Nigeria? YES.

Did they stop them on time in your saner clime? NO.

What was the outcome?

DEATH, CURFEW!

CNN  began to call US protesters TERRORISTS🤣

National Security Supersede Human Rights.

Check it from the day of #CapitolRiots, argue all you like, one thing became very clear again, the West will never negotiate their National Security on the altar of Human right.

Four people died but no CONDEMNATION from CNN  and others.

Your rights to say what you like was SUSPENDED in America IMMEDIATELY.

Donald Trump was BLOCKED from all Social Media from making any inciting statement further.

Not a single media in the USA including CNN  dared promote any INCITING statement in support of the protest.

WHY?

Why did Twitter restricting any account that could incite  USA any further, yet SUPPORTED everyone that incited terrorist attack that happened in Lagos last year October?

Why is CNN  BBCWorld and others only bringing those who condemned #CapitolRiots yet supported riot in Nigeria?

Did you not noticed that nobody was discussing the death of those 4 Americans who carried no gun during protest yet killed?

Did anyone ask “Who gave the order” for the National Guard to be deployed even when it wasn’t Trump?

Anyone discuss LIVE rounds used?

NATIONAL SECURITY FIRST!

Are you aware that those who protested PEACEFULLY were sacked by their employers the next day and there was No HASHTAG?

Are you aware that FBI is already arresting those involved in #CapitolRiots and no objection?

Are you aware that those who led protest in Nigeria are part of LagosSarsPanel?

Why shouldn’t there be a worldwide condemnation that those involved in #CapitolRiots must not be arrested, intimidated or sacked by their employers?

Didn’t confused souls like ALICIA KEYS Kerry Washington and Stephanie BUSARI  and their likes raised objection to such in Nigeria?

MAD o!

Constituted Authority & Politics.

Let me end my observation on this.
The Governor of Lagos Nigeria declared a curfew at 11:49am AFTER #LagosRiot had gone violent and  Police stations burnt, they said 4hr wasn’t enough to MOVE an inch from protest ground.

They obeyed USA spontaneous curfew!

These children of destruction told the world it was their HUMAN RIGHT to disobey the law in Nigeria, Twitter, CNN and BBCAfrica amplified their lawlessness.

The same couldn’t be seen when Curfew was declared due to #CapitolRiot and National guard was deployed.

National Guard (American Military) was ACTIVATED to disperse just one day PEACEFUL PROTESTERS in DC, it was seen as legitimate in America.

HQ NigerianArmy was ACTIVATED to stop those who insisted they wouldn’t obey curfew in Nigeria, the West, USA in particular said it was wrong!

And the most ridiculous part of this politics in the midst of chaos was seeing jokers like Reuben Abati  on ARISE TV calling VP Mike Pence a hero for accepting the result that Trump wouldn’t accept.

Wait, he should have declared Trump the winner of the election abi..we no normal 🤣

Show to me an instance in four ( 4 ) years where Mike Pence stood in the way of Trump?

When Trump was messing up everything about Covid and he was confronted with direct question, why didn’t he say Trump was wrong?

What else to defend?

You see, Politicians are the same EVERYWHERE: OPPORTUNISTS.

Why didn’t Pence grow some  balls and demand that he be declared Acting President when Trump was tested Positive?

If that had happened in Nigeria, #SalvesByChoice would have insisted that the VP be declared Acting President immediately.

Mike Pence is one of the worst I’ve seen!

They lost out already, there’s nothing to lose. So everyone is using this two (2 ) weeks before to launder their images INCLUDING Mike Pence. He saw that Georgia’s Secretary of State has suddenly become the hero by standing up for the constitution and did same.

Pence is now  POSITIONING himself.

Humans  under the same circumstance are the same EVERYWHERE.

At what point will you call it “PROTEST” and when will it become INSURRECTION?

What has been happening in Nigeria is tagged PEACEFUL PROTESTS and this ordinary walk through #CapitolRiots is tagged local terrorism.

HOW?

Well, it was NEVER about ENDSARS, it was ABOUT a coup!
