80 BRT buses were destroyed during the #EndSAR – Reno

Please fact-check me: 80 BRT buses were destroyed during the #EndSARS protests, along with the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Center, which was the most advanced police forensic laboratory in Black Africa. Protesters burnt it to the ground. The total cost of the infrastructure destroyed was put at over ₦700 billion. Again, please fact-check me. Those behind the infrastructural damage in Lagos during the EndSARS protest were mostly not from Lagos.

They were from states with severe infrastructural deficits. While Lagos pays above minimum wage and does not owe workers, their own states owe more than a year’s salary arrears and owe pensioners.

They take advantage of Lagos Metro and BRT, but their states do not even have bus stops. Their bus stop is often wherever the bus driver presses his brake. They get free healthcare in Lagos, as well as subsidised education. But it was Lagos they destroyed and left their state unscathed. Let me ask you, Lagosian, a question: Would they allow you to leave Lagos to protest in their own states and destroy public infrastructure?

This time, it must be different. If anybody wants to protest, let them jejely enter the same night bus that brought them to Lagos and go to protest in their own states. Or am I lying?
