To me, I believe they had a terrible motive for demanding independence. They were meant to do better than the colonial masters but what's the difference. They kill the youth, embezzlement and put the whole nation in chaos.
The youth can truly make a difference but after what happened at the Lekki Tollgate, everyone is just being careful because these old men wouldn't hesitate to take out any obstruction with force.
They are taking out everyone that's calling them out and obstructing them. They have no value for human lives or the citizens they are called to serve. Everything they do is spiced up with some doses of selfishness. If it doesn't benefit them they won't do it.
The zero respect for human lives is one of the things that baffles me a lot, they take lives as they wish forgetting that those people they ended their lives also have families... Those old men are wicked...
