A call for protest on X urged Imo State’s students and youth alliances to unite against police harassment. However, one comment cynically accused, “The government of Imo State has bought their youths.” This statement not only dismisses the potential for genuine activism but also spreads mistrust, discouraging collective efforts for change.
Accusations like these undermine the morale of young people willing to fight for justice. While skepticism toward government influence is valid in some contexts, it is crucial to encourage youth involvement rather than discredit it. Building unity and trust among young citizens is essential for driving meaningful change and addressing systemic oppression.
