noticed it first with the peaceful protest. A popular tweeter user first suggested “terrorism” and after that, the argument became “terrorist activity “.
Desmond also weighed in on social media describing it in a way that negative and boom! The govt swept in with an argument that seemed to align with the accusations. I may be wrong but if this follows the same pattern, it may mean something big is up the sleeve of the men at the top and if we go by their capabilities, brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen. Last last, this one na fool.”
