I hardly watch movies. But some how, I watched Jagun Jagun Movie. In the movie, while many are mesmerized with the custume, action and others, the only aspect that spoke to me is that part that I can simply describe misplaced activism.   So, what is misplaced activism? In jagun jagun training camp, one of the soldiers, gbotija protested against the small portion of food, given to them by the agemo lady. In his protest, he said the portion of food given to them was small, beyond the normal portion they are expected to get. He therefore sent message of protest to agemo.   When gbotija protest reached agemo, she was infuriated and instantly went to the camp, in search of the protester. While at the camp, Agemo asked for those who protested over the portion of food and gbotija confidently stepped forward, in the usual activist arrogance. He spoke about the small food, which couldn't satisfy the soldiers and he emphasize that he's not scared to say the truth.
