What's a rifle with a long range scope doing on protest ground?
The idea of Bola Tinubu is to target and kill protesters?
This will not end well.

Tinubu: A Tyrant in the Making
By Farooq Kperogi
President Tinubu’s self-serving speech--which basically sang his own praises, said he'd heard the people's anguished cries but won't do anything about the cries and then threatened that the people shouldn't cry for much longer or they'd be crushed-- signposts the making of an unfeeling tyrant.
If the people close to him don't stop him and the masses of the people let him get away with it, he'll transmogrify into a terrifyingly ruthless monster that may end Nigeria as we know it.
A famous Arabic proverb goes: "They asked the Pharoah, 'What made you a tyrant?' He said, 'No one stopped me.'"
The proverb tells us about the psychology of power that I've written about in oast columns. Subordinates flatter people in power, copy their ways, and shield them from the harsh truth about them. This sycophantic drooling by subordinates makes leaders lose touch with reality.
The truth Tinubu must know is that the current hardship in Nigeria is not survivable. This is not an issue of political partisanship.
There's no alternative to restoring petrol and electricity subsidies. Energy security is national security.
He should give another speech to restore the subsidies whose removal created the conditions that power the protests. Simple.
Imagine White-British people saying “UK Ronu. Igbo and Yoruba are not allowed in the UK”
Imagine how you a Nigerian born in the UK will feel. You see how that feels?
I hope this brings some sort of epiphany to these “ronu” promoters.
Isn't it shocking that a president of a nation hardly grants interviews? So how does he sell his policies? President Tinubu, Let's interview you pick a date, Pick the venue, the people will ask the questions. Let's do it.
KAN0: things are actually different in the north as the police officers gives protection to the protesters and also advices them to quench the fire the since they called it peaceful protest.

Remember there are two protest groups out today. Any violence or looting that occurs is caused by those protesting in support of the government.
No media house should come and say “protesters” did this. Specify which protesters.
The government sponsored ones or the people’s?
Akpabio said “Go out and protest, we will stay in our houses and eat”
And Nigerians came out with empty pots with nothing to eat
Nigerian politicians are the MOST WICKED on Earth!
