The protest that spawned to many cities in Nigeria has shown that the Nigerian youths are waking up and demanding a change in the leadership of Nigeria for improve governance and accountability but the issue is that will protest bring the change we want?

We can protest and protest all we want but if the people in power are not ready to bring the necessary change needed things will still continue to remain the same.

Now I didn’t say protest is not a good thing, protest is the first stage of any political and economic struggle it also allows you to control the public narrative of your struggle, without the protest people will not know why you are doing what you are doing, so protest is important. 

But after the protest we need to move to the next thing by getting the demands of our protest. What I’m wary of is when protest becomes the goal instead of the means to the end.
