Community Enforcements of Occupy Nigeria

ABIJO Joins the fray 
Reports just coming from Abijo area, after Ajah in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area  of Lagos state shows that the community has joined the Occupy Nigeria Protest. Abijo case is a communal effort aimed at  making the voice of Nigerians heard. Though a detachment of the Nigerian Police Force is stationed at the location where enforcement is being carried out, they have remained civil and non-violent in their approach. The Abijo people themselves are consistently encouraging one another on the need to keep the struggle for emancipation on.
We have also received a report of a minor car accident at the enforcement spot due to an oncoming car ramming into another stationary vehicle. No lives were lost.
Pictures to follow.

Agbado Ijaiye Community show solidarity
In similar vein, Meiran, Ijaiye, and other surrounding community on the ever busy Lagos Abeokuta express way have also joined millions of Nigerians to show their displeasure on the state of management of the Nigerian State.
We noticed that while most of the communities on the way to the toll gate have stationed persons on discussing or sharing ideas on the petrol subsidy imbroglio, at the Ojokoro Low Cost Housing Estate, there is a mini carnival going on to with revolutionary music from the legendary Fela and his contemporaries being blasted. Though a collection of youths attempted to block the highway some meters from the  one of such locations for their own end, the men of the Nigerian Police Force and fellow protesters were seen dismantling the road block and encouraging the protesters to remain civil and not to take the law into their hands.

Reports from other areas will soon follow.


A new Dawn 
The impact of the present impasse on the Nigerian state is massive, aside the economic realities that plagues Government and private investors as well as self employed citizens, it is clear from the message out there on the street that this protest is owned by the Nigerian people and they are doing their bits to keep it alive. It is unprecedented for a Nigerian Strike to go on for Four (4) days with no end in sight and the strength of the mass growing by the day. It remains to be seen if the Nigerian Government who sources tell us are waiting for the will of the people to be dampened will not give in.

Join us to bring accountability to government, support the Occupy Nigeria Protest wherever you are and remember to stay focused on the goal, do not allow any fifth columnist to derail this process. Remain Non-violent, together we can win.
