This reminds me of certain terrible events in Nigeria's history that I'll rather forget. How can the police and the government stand by and watch while thugs unleash violence on the state? Check out the hole in that bullet-proof glass! People may think that they are fighting each other and hoping for victory, but they don't realise that we'll all lose if this continues. 2 Likes |

naptu2: This reminds me of certain terrible events in Nigeria's history that I'll rather forget. How can the police and the government stand by and watch while thugs unleash violence on the state? Check out the hole in that bullet-proof glass!What was the police supposed to do? Kill all the protesters? Didn't people protest against removal of fuel subsidy for several days? This is democracy. Both the pro- and anti-Amaechi groups have the right to protest and even throw stones. The much the police can do is restrain the protesters to certain areas, which they did in this instance because the four governors and Amaechi moved to and fro the govt house. The police cannot stop people from throwing stones. Moreover, governors are not the president that needs maximum security. Even the president with his maximum security was once a victim of stone throwing protesters. 20 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: 1) People have a right to protest. They do not have a right to throw stones and be violent. 2) People protested during the fuel subsidy demonstrations. However, people who were violent were arrested. 3) All Nigerians deserve protection from violence, whether they are president, governor or the private citizen on the street. 4) This violence has gone on for days (at the house of assembly, state house and now at the airport), how many people have been arrested? Some of these people were even captured on video! I repeat, people may think that they are fighting each other and hoping for victory, but they don't realise that we'll all lose if this continues. 40 Likes |

biafranqueen: yes violence is unnecessary but as always it will be only a couple of mental ones in the crowd because mental hospital is costly most are peaceful! Then those mental people must be removed from society (either in prison or in a psychiatric hospital). It doesn't matter whether they are pro or anti amaechi. The fact is that once you allow some people to perpetrate violence, you are then encouraging others to follow suit. The result is anarchy. The police exist to prevent such anarchy. How many people have they arrested? How can they allow this to continue? |

Sincere 9gerian: Are you serious? I blame people who take you serious. You kill reason, common sense, consience and morals just to justify the propaganda you promote. So the police are meant to stand by and watch protesters stone elected governors of other states in Nigeria? what do you think would have happened to Rivers state indegines in those state if any of the governors was injured by one of the stones. Now would you still hold that positon if Amaechi's supporters use stones on president Jonathan's Car and damaged it. Now can you support your lie that GEJ (or any other serving nigerian president for that matter) was ever pelted with rocks,and the police, SSS, military were just watching. I am sure you know the security caldron around nigerian presidents when they move. Please provide us with a link. I honestly do not understand the strategy you and your principal have for winning the next without the support of the northern and south western parts of the country. No governor especially from the north and the south west would be happy that some of their colleagues was stoned by Jonathan's police and no arrests were made. I do not have the time to go through your past posts but I can bet my life that you are one of the persons that was against the fuel subsidy protesters. I am I sure you then hold the position that people have no right to protest against Jonathans policies. I am sure you would have tribalized and personalized the protests as merely an ethnic vendetta against your principal. You would also have supported the army's forceful stoppage of the non violent protests. Now you are supporting violent protests because it was pro- Jonathan. Shameful. 44 Likes |

naptu2:I know there's a thin line between violence and throwing stones but throwing of stones is one COMMON feature of protesters all over the world. Why do protesters throw stones? They throw stones to reach targets the security people prevented them from reaching physically. Yes, all Nigerians deserve protection but the level of protection you get is determined by the level of risk. Presidents all over the world get maximum security because they face the highest risk. The governors are local champions who do not even require much physical security if things were working properly. 2 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: People have died from protests in other parts of the world, so is it ok if people die during protests in Nigeria? Throwing stones and damaging property/injuring people is illegal, period. Where is this debate about "level of security" coming from? Have I at any point stated that the governors should have presidential security? The fact is that it is the duty of the police to protect all Nigerians and prevent the break down of law and order. It is their duty to arrest people who resort to violence (including throwing stones). 6 Likes |

wirinet:You'r the one that kill reason and lack COMMON SENSE. The police did not stand and watch like you shamelessly wrote. The police restrained the protesters, making it possible for the convoy of the governors to pass. I dont have time for further debate with people who are too emotional to look at the FACTS. But just to CONFIRM to you that the convoy of the president was attacked by stone hurling protesters in 2011 in Nasarawa state. Similar incident happened when the president visited Uganda https://www.nairaland.com/601014/nasarawa-protesters-hurl-stones-jonathan http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/president-museveni-apologies-for-attack-on-jonathan-s-convoy/91563/ http://lindaikeji..in/2011/02/nasarawa-protesters-hurl-stones-at.html 7 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: You are still skirting around the truth. There is no thin line between violence and throwing of stones, throwing of stones - especially rocks is a violent act. Because it has the potential to cause serious bodily harm or even death. And in other parts of the world politicians are not pelted with rocks but with tomatoes, eggs, etc, that cannot cause bodily harm. It is in confrontation with the police that protesters often use stones, petrol bombs and other harmful objects. Or they throw stone at public property to cause damage. But they never throw rocks at elected officials without getting arrested. 5 Likes |
