What You Should Know If Arrested While Protesting In Nigeria #occupynigeria by mrofficial(m): 1:15pm On Jan 08, 2012 |
On January 9th, 2012, there will be massive protests against the removal of fuel subsidy across Nigeria, barring any intervention. As one who has handled a large amount of criminal defense cases within the past ten (10) years of practicing law, I know that when there is a massive gathering like the ones anticipated protesting actions by the establishment, it increases the likelihood of altercations and arrests. Accordingly, this is a cheat sheet on what to do if you are arrested in Nigeria while protesting against the removal of fuel subsidy this upcoming Monday. Share this article with as many people as possible and tell them to share with others that will also be protesting.

@rafhell. Nobody is saying fuel subsidy is good, but there are better ways to go about it without causing uproar. Maybe you are one of those people outside the country who wouldn't feel the pinch. |

doctokwus: You can say all you like, I've never supported GEJ from the onset. I said it that PDP has nothing to offer Nigerians, that's what you all fail to know. If there was stable electricity, just stable electricity is enough for me. How long will they keep promising and disbursing without results. This time, it should be seeing is believing. #okbye |

Protest is a fundamental right of every citizen.Any advice shd rather b directed @ d nigerian police who av always used force in order to prevent evn d most peaceful protests.Imagine telling organisers certain routes are off limits.Evn in d u.s& uk,a protester can stay outside d white house& downing street respectively,to voice his/her concern or disagreement about a govt policy,but here in nigeria,people we elected, feed,cloth,protect& transport wt our mony deny us that right wt brutal force& one shallow mind s/where can come here& post bul-l sh-it in support of such r-a pe of democracy! |
Re: What You Should Know If Arrested While Protesting In Nigeria #occupynigeria by dejust(m): 2:32pm On Jan 08, 2012 |
@mr official it is unfortunate that with your knowledge of law and Nigerian police, you are encouraging Nigerians to go on protest. You know Nigerians very well, so you can easily judge wether their protest will be peaciful or not if there is peaciful demonstration in 9aija police dictionary. Of all the crimes and ofences you listed, you have faild to tell us the ones the one killed in Ilorin and the one in Kano comitted or how you have pursued the case so that their relatives will get justice. I doubt if you are a lawyer, if you are, you are a disgrace to legal profesion. Thanks. |

Can't you guys see that the Jona administration have recruited a handsful of people to go online and promote their agender. Go to everyline online forums and you will see them writing in the favour of the removal. I have compiled most of the argument being made by them, so anytime you see the following: (1) When government deregulated diesel nothing happened, everyone seem to be going about their business. Why now? My answer to that is that, how many people use diesel to fuel their car, generator to power their home, office and workshop, fuel to move food stuff, raw material aroiund the country. (2) Nigerian don't understand that government is saving all these money to do something better for the country. My answer to that is that nigeria government is riddles with corruption from the lower to the higher level of government and they are telling us that this money will be distributed mong states govenment, local goventment and some govenment bodies that we all know are corrupt to the highiest level. No wonder no Governor, Local government chairman have come out in support of the preotest because they know more money will be coming their way and that property they cannot afford in Dubai will be a thing of the past. |

Lmao. . .God, I just love it when we pretend we live in a civilised society. Yep, knowing these guidelines will be helpful. . . as helpful as a bullet hole in the head. Can you imagine trying to quote "Chapter VI, section 49 and 50, paragraph 21, Quote 40 of the Constitution" to the average policeman who doesn't know the meaning of the word constitution or that it even exists talk more of the contents? Jeedus freaking Christi. . .the comedy! As a matter of fact, I'll implore the protesters not to even mention the word constitution at all when arrested, You run the risk of getting a thorough beat down. . .in addition to the standard thorough beat down you get immediately they arrest you because Officers Mukaila and Cletus from the Abule Gbogbo Police Division think you just admitted to being a 419er since the only word they are familiar with is the CON in Constitution I say for your own safety, if you are arrested, just keep mum. On a side note, Rotflmao @ Agender. Is that like being Apolitical or Asexual? ?? |

Re: What You Should Know If Arrested While Protesting In Nigeria #occupynigeria by aljharem(m): 9:55pm On Jan 08, 2012 |
It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing, etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry 1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption 2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that 3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation. 4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president. 5. Now remove subsidy. Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are 1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people 2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos 3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta 4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now. Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ? What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ? IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ? Is thinking ahead not protesting against corruption ? In Nigeria today, we have No light, No security, No shelter, No good roads, No good water, No refinery even though we are oil producing, Total neglect of infrastructure, Total neglect of the Niger-delta, Total neglect of the Niger bridge, Total neglect of people dying in the North, Lack of accountability, Lack of credibility, Lack of industrial growth apart from Oil which the entire country is dependant on, Lack of economic growth apart from the telecommunication sector by OBJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would also what to use this medium to address people thinking it is an ethnic thing. I have heard various people saying the protest is against "GEJ" "minority" and other sentimental words to describe the protest. I would like to educate the people about the politics behind what is happening according to my understanding and I would really appreciate if I can also learn more from other posters home and abroad. In 2010, Sanusi made speech to the House of reps (HOR) that they were thieves and they are the ones sucking Nigeria dry due to the huge sum of money paid to them monthly. The HOR shut him down and called him all sort of names. In 2011, Sanusi during the channels debate said 1.6 trillion naira is paid to this people out of 1.8 trillion naira thus 200 billion Naira is left for development of the country. This people are the senator, governors, HOR, HOA, chairmen and the business men that were labelled as oil benefit thieves. Now people Imagine 200 billion left for 150 million people in 36 states out of total of 1.8 trillion Naira. Yes I am sure people would agree with me that subsidy has to go !!!! All am doing here is to make people political aware of the situation right now and lets not forget the Iweala and the IMF factor. Now people are NOT and I repeat NOT angry at the removal of the subsidy I mean at such rate the paying of subsidy is not sustainable. It has to go at one point or the other, either through GEJ or the next administration. Yes I respect GEJ and Sanusi for thinking ahead of time. That is very commendable but the Issues that cause the subsidy corruption are not yet addressed. In the future the issue would come up again so what is the point ?. |

Sisi_Kill: Fine babe with brains! So, so rare. You set my heart pop'n, hop'n and thump'n! Please people Sisi Kill did not write in isiZulu, don't go reeling off the constitution and the requirement for order mandamus to sergeant Nweke or corporal Aliu Al Wathiu, they will think you are abusing their parents and might react an "accidental discharge." This people don't know grammer (to be sincere, they hate it), they only understand, suyaing, peppersouping and pulling the trigger. Nuff said. |
