A political enthusiast has decided to block his father for meddling in his political comments and discouraging him from toning up his ideas and comments concerning the country’s political activities.
The young man, with the user name @LawrenceOkoroPG, took to Twitter to share the interaction he had with his old man.
According to Lawrence, his father, who seemed too concerned with his son’s wellbeing, told him to tone his voice down on all things politics in the nation.
The young man, however, questioned his father, “If you are afraid of risking your own life, who will step up to fight for a better Nigeria and its future generations?”
He concluded their discussion by blocking his father on the platform.
In his tweet, he wrote;
“I BLOCKED MY FATHER ON TWITTER TODAY.
Earlier today my dad called and wanted to see me.
I rushed there as it sounded urgent.
He didn’t waste time in passing across his concerns over my safety as he has been following my tweets and outspoken nature.
He pleaded that I quit tweeting until the country becomes a better place where authorities can be criticized without being afraid of your safety.
Then I asked a simple question — whose children will then fight for a better Nigeria, if you’re scared to lose yours.
We were both silent for some good seconds, until I gave him a hug, opened the little fridge beside his bed and opened 2 chilled bottles of beers for the both of us. Couple of minutes later I drove off.
This evening I decided to block him for his peace of mind. If he doesn’t see the tweets there won’t be need to fear or worry.
Dear oppressors, I blocked my father because of you, I’m fully ready to go all the way in speaking truth to power until you relinquish power to where it truly belongs.
My love for Nigeria supercedes everything right now.”
