A video of #EndBadGovernance protesters in Oyo was posted on Instagram, and while many showed support, one discouraging comment read, “All these things no Dey work.” This type of pessimistic response can undermine the collective spirit and determination that drives movements for change.
While it’s understandable that frustration with the slow pace of progress can lead to such sentiments, it’s essential to recognize that social movements often require persistence. History has shown that change, especially in governance, doesn’t happen overnight. Discouraging comments can dissuade others from participating, but it’s important to stay motivated and believe in the power of collective action to bring about lasting reform. Every small effort contributes to the bigger picture.
