This man is always talking rubbish

He is saying the true, the problem is people don’t think for themselves these days. In as much as the siege on the Capitol was wrong and condemnable you can’t ban people on social media because it sets a dangerous precedent just like what Kayamo is saying that to stop any movement either good or bad you have to ban them on social media which is totally wrong and negate freedom of speech. Hence we should not support the ban by twitter, facebook and instagram of Trump and his supporters.

You are big fool

He is not a fool because if we support twitter, facebook and instagram ban of Trump and his support then we encourage conversation such as the prosecution of End Sars protesters. Truth be told that both democrats and republicans have heat up American politics over the last 4yrs from calling Trump election victory was aided by the Russians because the democrats were not happy they lost to election to Trump which lead to the Muller investigation who later started that there was no evidence of such and the attack on Trump over the year by democrats amd the media like CNN. This is the resultant effect where Trump has to develop its own propaganda that the election was rigged whether true or false because he is not happy he lost. America should be thinking of a way forward to reduce the tension in the politics as the blame game and both side attacking each other, CNN exaggerating the crisis and looking for who to blame (Trump and the republican senators, impeachment conversation by the democrats and the subsequent ban by Tech giants will not help the country but further divide same. They should go back to the basis of one America while debating each other on policies that which benefit the country.

Very very true.

Many multimillionaires have low-key become paupers due to this reckless insurrection.

Yes, SARS did many evils. Yes, our government has done many wrongs. But is this reckless act the solution?

In the end, you killed many struggling citizens like you, you destroyed the investment of many citizens like you. You couldn't even touch the politicians you claimed to be against. What's the difference between your delusion and Boko Haram's foolishness?

I get, you feel justified because you've scored a political point against Tinubu. And that political point is worth any number of lives.
First of all...It was a PEACEFUL PROTEST(Unfortunately it turned bloody, owing to brutal iron-clad treatment from the law-enforcement agent
Secondly, there was no 'political point' scored against any politician, the seeming aggression against them we must have witnessed was a culmination of years of pent up anger and frustration of bad governance(which we are all familiar)

To add to it, the media failed to carefully distinguish the elements at play in the chain of events, so all we got was a conflated reportage that seem to render the End SARS protest illegitimate:

-You have the genuine EndSARS protesters(who had a genuine cause for the protest)

-Political thugs or mercenaries(employed by the Government to disrupt and hijack the protests (series of video evidences abound proving this) just to put the blame on genuine EndSARS protesters.
*Take the ''Prison break'' that happened in Benin during that period for example, do you honestly think the Government had nothing to do with it? It was all a setup

-Vandals/Hoodlums unconnected to the agitation who took undue advantage of the protests to destroy and loot property for their own gain,they obviously had their own agenda...which was against the objective of the cause. I term these ones as 'Sleeper agents'

Then you have the Police and even soldiers killing and inflicting harm on the protesters(I've seen videos of soldiers maliciously hunt down unarmed civilians that period). Some joining to destroy property so as to justify a clampdown on the protesters.

Don't you think it's a bit unfair to lump all category of persons as End SARS protesters just to accuse them of all what you just accused them of.

The real EndSARS protesters had absolutely nothing to do with the destruction of property and maiming, rather some unscrupulous elements (of which the Govt know about). Look at how the Govt kept lying about the Lekki Toll gate shooting

Convenient for EndSARS promoters to pin all the violence and anarchy on 'sponsored' hoodlums and touts. These are youths too and the naivety of the promoters led to it. Let the promoters for once claim culpability and join hands with ALL victims to find a way forward.

We all saw it coming. The Govt acceded to all demands and begged for a reconsideration of continued protests. Elders appealed to the youths to embrace dialogue with govt since their demands were met. Recall the protests enjoyed wide acceptance and support across different strata of the society at the outset. However, youth intransigence and not listening to voice of reason soon escalated the already tensed situation leading to the bloody aftermath.

So it's a bit disingenuous to keep saying the protests were peaceful without considering implications on the wider society when hoodlums were just waiting for the perfect opportunity to cash in and cause mayhem which they gladly did.

This man does not know what he's saying. May God Almighty reward everyone of you in government for your negligence and complacency in the security system.

Boko Haram terrorists were not prosecuted but you rehabilitated them as repentant criminals

Fulani Herdsmen and bandits killed people mercilessly, you people didn't prosecute them together with their sponsors.

Security Heads have turn the Insurgency war into a business, yet no prosecution.

SARS killed and brutalized innocent Nigeria ns, yet the government took no action.

But we organized a peaceful protest, it is them you killed innocent and armless Nigerians and sponsored hoodlums to cause unrest, God will judge each and everyone of you.

You will all suffer the consequences right from this world till hereafter until you repent.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nigeria-crash/nigerian-governor-ex-security-head-die-in-air-crash-idUKBRE8BE0A520121215

The statement confirmed the deaths of Kaduna state governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, former national security adviser General Owoye Azazi, their aides Dauda Tsoho and Mohammed Kamal and the two pilots, Muritala Mohammed Daba and Adeyemi Sowole.

I am not surprised at all because your mentor (Buhari) is a specialist in there blame game and that's why he remains a capital failure the in governance. What happened to the revelation by Ed chief of staff Major Ihejirika indicting El rufaai and the recent one by former deputy central bank governor.

Regardless of what you or others might want to feel about the whole thing(barring the destruction and all)...Know this. It was only a matter of time before a revolt or should I say...a revolution would take place(even though it all looks silenced and truncated right about now but I can assure you...we haven't seen the end of it) as the govt turns blind eyes and deaf ears to the people's cries for justice and stifle dissenting views!

And as par ''implications the protest had on the ''wider society''(as you put it). I would say: for once in the lives of Nigerians...we took a bold risk! Revolution comes with some pains! some painful losses! a price must be paid for something unfortunately.... lives for the most part. But seeing hope, faith, patriotism rekindled(even if momentarily) in the hearts of Nigerians home and abroad, solidarity from the world over...makes even walking through fire a delight! Not withstanding,i don't attempt to make light the many losses and destruction experienced...May God grant those affected the strength and fortitude to forge on.

[b] Now lemme ask you: What good is our society? if you have to worry about not coming home to your loved ones alive and safe? If you have to worry about not looking too 'rich and flashy' not just in the eyes of criminals but SARS officials..sorry,i mean SWAT officials) for fear of being fleeced or worse still, end up six ft below? We fear not to be wrongfully incarcerated! or abducted! We fear not to be shot and killed by the very persons in whom are saddled with the responsibility of PROTECTING lives and property as well as upholding the sanctity of human existence? The Police
What good or useful is a society? if you have to pay the Police N20,000 in order for them to investigate a criminal case you bring to them.
Doesn't matter if you're a decent person working hard to earn a honest living, you are 10 times more likely to be thrown in jail by the police for doing absolutely nothing or killed by the police and dumped in a river for failing to grease the palms of crooked police officers![b] Ask yourself ''am I truly living like I ought to, as a bonafide citizen of Nigeria? Is this living?

Well, just in case you're not aware or probably 'forgot' the very genesis of the nationwide protests,let me quickly remind you : Days prior, a video went viral on social media showing where SARS officers now SWAT killed a young man (in Ughelli,Delta state) and threw his corpse out of his car and made away with the vehicle...in broad daylight!
Prior to then, in recent past; series of videos of police officers' (especially SARS or SWAT) abuse their power; use malicious brute force to extort, intimidate and even kill people were so regular on social media,that it a became a normal, until people got tired of complaining to government about it, trending social media hashtags, to crown it all (the gruesome video of officers killing that young man) it angered the people the more and hence decided enough was enough...then came the protests; which dramatically opened up a myriad of long-standing issues affecting the citizenry that they felt needed to be voiced out


If you call a supposed disbandment on a rogue police unit(something they've repeatedly portrayed to the general public over the years as true (whereas reality speaks otherwise), rechristening the unit name to another thing entirely with the same rogue elements being redeployed to other depts as 'demands being met', then I honestly don't know to say to you.
A government that has a human face and is sincere; it's truest intentions would be as clear and unambiguous as day. Need I tell you, how much of a failure, the so-called judicial panel of enquiry of victims of EndSARS et all is? We only heard Govt had compensated families of police who lost their lives during the aftermath of the EndSars protests. How bout the families of victims of SARS brutality(past and recent cases), those killed in many states in the wake of the protest by the Police and Army? Was it not the same govt that froze accounts of key EndSARS protesters/supporters, arrested some. For exercising their constitutional right to lawful assembly and freedom of expression yet sponsors of Boko Haram discovered by US and co are left free? The same administration that rode on protests and propaganda to power, is now the one stifling it on all quarters. Hate Speech bills, Clampdowns *sigh*
Damned if we fight for our rights and damned if we don't! Either ways, we're doomed regardless. No soft landing!
