Memories of OccupyNigeria, Ojota, Lagos.

Artisans, in thousands, enroute to Gani Fawehinmi Park, venue of the OccupyNigeria protest in Lagos.




Youth from all quarters using the event to show their artistic side. Here, a young man posed as herbalist, threatening to rain curse on GEJ.

 


'Chief Iman' for the youth (standing on motorcycle) protesting against removal of fuel subsidy.




Myself, Don Abiodun Odedeyi, on ground. The reason why you are viewing these exclusive pictures



Another youth posing as king, with his entourage (in white), on their way to the protest ground.





'We cant wash our hands clean before prayer anymore', these alfas seems to be saying.



'Don't push me'

'Don't push me'
Alfa Sule of 'o ti gan pa' fame was at the protest ground.


 One of the ojota 'agbero' telling GEJ his own opinion on the fuel subsidy price.



While this white pastor was doing it alone, his performance quickly attracted admirers who join him in his heavenly dance.



From the other side of the world, masquerades seems to feel the heat of fuel subsidy removal.



At first, I thought this was a deliverance session. on a closer look (Next picture), it was evidence that the young man also wanted to be part of the ongoing Lagos (carnival) protest.


God knows where he got the cow-head carcass from... he pursue anyone who dare wait on his approach but do no harm to anyone caught unguarded.
When I approached him, he said, "Mo fe kan GEJ pa ni" (I want to ram GEJ to death) 

Sango incarnate at the Ojota Protest ground


This young banker's silent speaks more than many speaker who mounted the protest stage.
How much did he want the price to be?


This is my picture of the year. This young man, (God knows where he got the custume from), matched from morning till evening. A large crowd troop behind him singing Fela popular song ZOMBIE.
