Hitting the streets isn't the main problem, our politicians have no respect for the lives of those they're ruling. They have the habit of politicizing any protest that well meaning Nigerians initiate. You can take inspiration from what haired during the End SARS protest, they  openely executed lots of citizens without  respect for the national flag that the victims were bearing.

Myself was testimony to the arrival of thugs in SUV cars to steal from banks ATMs and they were labeled protesters. As soon as peaceful protests starts, politicians sends thugs to escalate activities and  paints the good deeds of well meaning citizens a very negative color,  thereby betraying the motive and undermining the effectiveness and importance of such demonstration.
