The nationwide protest presumably started on Thursday in every State of the nation. Its preparation and agitation had made great waves of news before now.
Nigerians have been greatly aggrieved by the economic hardship in the land. Therefore, they want to demonstrate against the government in power, as the root cause.
It is said that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Therefore, government remains the first suspect.
Protest is usually characterized with crowd marching, chanting of songs and carrying placards. The placards usually state the protesters grievances and their demands.
At extreme bends of protests is the activities of hoodlums. Who seize the occasion to perpetrate various crimes. They bugle shops, loot properties, beat up their enemies and even rape women. All because the spirit of protest simulates that of warfare where law and order prevail not.
Notwithstanding the great reasons behind this intended protest, the Ibos should exempt themselves. Therefore, all the five Igbo States, and the Ibos living in other parts of the country, should desist from the marching protest.
There is nothing they are going to achieve if they participate than to worsen their situation in the land.
The Ibos are already a marginalized and mistreated ethnic group in the country. They have suffered untold hardship: oppressions, persecutions, property damages and looting, killings, hunger and so on.
Invariably, joining to protest against the government in power is tantamount to pulling at the tail of a lion. Therefore, the Ibos should employ wisdom and exempt themselves from any marching nationwide protests.
They should always count their teeth with their tongues. A word is enough for the wise!
