#SupportSARS: Anti-EndSARS campaign begins on Twitter, Nigerians react

So few days ago we had the #EndSARS campaign where Nigerians especially youths called for the scrapping of Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Since then, Nigerians and ever celebrities have taken to social media to express their displeasure in the way SARS officials go about their duties unprofessionally, harassing innocent individuals and battering people not convicted by any court of law.  

The campaign lasted over 4 days with the hastag #EndSARS trend on Twitter. Fastforward to today, we all woke up to a counter campaign #SupportSARS where reports say some youths were paid to campaign against the end SARS movement. This has drawn heavy criticism from other youths who feel disgusted by this campaign. See some reactions below:

I should #SupportSARS oppressing common men & women like me?
I should support SARS collecting bribe from common men & women like me?
I should support SARS killing common men & women like me?
I should support SARS who no longer go after Armed Robbers but common men &women like me?

Now I doubt if Nigeria can be better. Some people just sold their humanity just for lunch money. Imagine the u-turn against the #endsars campaign.

Look at the banners, you can see this #supportsars was a sponsored campaign. Look at the money they spent to make Nigerians liars

This government said nothing about the SARS issue or acknowledge any issues about their brutality but when we decide to do an #EndSARS rally, they in turn decide to run a #supportSARS rally and pay media houses to get involved.

What a shame. That’s the Nigeria we’re in. Wow

What worries me most is how the people that turned out for #SupportSARS protest are more than the people that turned out for #Endsars...

Less I forget #SupportSARS is trending, #Endsars is not.

What we are witnessing with this disgraceful #SupportSARS campaign is how poverty can be turned into a weapon by oppressive regimes. The voice/vote of a Nigerian youth costs less than $5. Shame on Nigeria. Shame on Buhari. #ENDSARS

Nigerian Youths are the most confused set of human being in the whole world.
One volunteered, one paid
