Kizyte: The thugs and thieves will be local.. In many of the areas.. Neighbourhood watch ops may be able to help An opportunistic thief steals in his comfort zone. I hope some will return the loot once there's a deep change of heart That should be the message from SM influencers, actors, musicians for Now... #returntheloot . |

With the intensity of looting that transpired throughout Lagos State , be sure to see less hoodlums on the street . Because they will definitely have become millionaires . Only 3 apple laptops in that shoprite mall can fetch you 7m 1 Like |

These looting were clearly done by thieves, agberos and what have you! Since the protest started, we never recorded any theft until the government started using thugs to fight protesters and it gave way to where we are currently. If the government had not brought in their thugs to fight the peaceful and unharmed protesters, reverse would have been the case now. My heart goes to all the affected shop owners, may divine help come your way in Jesus name! Amen. 2 Likes 1 Share |

texazzpete:Leave state resources abeg and don't find excuses for criminals and thieves. Even in Minnesota, U.S., during the a protest that broke out, stores were looted. Took the intervention of the national guard, that's a department of their military, to restore sanity. When hoodlums loot, don't digress. Call a spade a spade. Many Nigerians don't take responsibility. They blame all their failures on others. 4 Likes |

samunaka: People have always demanded Buhari resigns that’s not news. This was about endsars and maybe better governance. Endsars protests was not about Buhari resigning or regime change like the government always thinks once there’s little agitation. Was proscribing of sars not the right thing?? Where they not a menace and disgrace to the people, society and police service?? Protesters only demanded for action beyond words and usual speeches bt ur mind and conscience listens more to the voices asking him to resign instead. 1 Like |

PraiselyPraise: So, Buhari looted their shops? Why are we like this? Y'all think anarchy breeds anything good? Hear this, after this, those people will start visiting private residences of wealthy people whether they are associated to government or not. That's what we call class conflict. The have-nots see the haves as their source of problem even when the latter worked legimately hard for their wealth. When we were shouting for the madness to stop, y'all called us names and glaring and grunting like someone wey dey popoo for toilet. Now ya'll can see the outcome. That's what anarchy breeds. When Tinubu's properties and businesses were being touched, y'all hailed them and saying it serves Tinubu right. What is good for Greece is also good for Uganda. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

You want them to keep coming out to defend what exactly? Let the owners of the mall also feel the pains of the people of Tinubu and the banks burnt to the ground. After all, we were all urging the protesters on and calling for the death of the police officers. What is good for Greece is also good for Uganda. 3 Likes |

Hoodlums will be hoodlums any day any time..even if it's overseas hoodlums will do the same it's everywhere in the world...that's why we have a government but a responsible government is expected to take charge at a sensitive time like this.... The looting you see for the past few days are clearer picture of when there is no government in place They should sue the Lagos State government for failing to protect lives and property as it's their duty to protect tax payers lives and property.. |

Some of us were indifferent to the #ENDSARS protest from onset not because we are blind to the astrocities of SARS or not sympathetic to the victims of their horrors. One of the few people that I support their stand on this is Seun Kuti. #Endsars is more or less like a fight between political elites and social elites - Seun was right in my opinion.We are here today because of one attitude that is common to all Nigerians - E no concern me. And in many cases we stupidly complain about a particular thing knowing fully well that nothing is working in the country. Why do we always complain about a particular thing since we know nothing is working in the country?Tell me one thing that is working in this country please? Look at the Okada riders, bus drivers, market women etc will all patronize one way or the other. The govt sponsored thugs frustrate them and some don't seem to know their right. Why can't we include everyone in this fight I am not saying Sars affect the middle class alone but from the protest one can deduce that they are probably the major victims because of what SARS can get from them.Why not go back to the foundation of our problems why not protest against bad roads and bad governance in general? I am indifferent to the SARS protest with the following reasons: - Sars atrocities is a product of bad governance let us end bad governance instead of SARS alone.I know we can start from somewhere and Endsars is not a bad idea. But if SARS is disbanded police atrocities wont stop just give it1 or 2 two years it will resurface again- It is a product of bad governance and there is nothing you can do if you don't stop the root causes of it.Wise people solve problem from the root cause of the problem. I witnessed live how a very big mall was looted for more than 24 hours and no one to stop them.I smiled and cry for the owner of the mall and for the future of my country. I was seeing looting and robbery but the looters were seeing an opportunity to take what belongs to them from the corrupt system irrespective of who owns them.A neighbor heard the looters as they are walking by with looted items saying this is where people that steal our money live which is totally wrong everybody is only trying to survive here as well.I saw people of all ages both males and females looting confidently. But it is not looting to them it is taken what belongs to them using the opportunity of the curfew. The protest has turned into a clash between the poor and the middle class/upperclass.People have been made so poor to the extent that they have lost their social values. THIS WHOLE LOOTING IS ABOUT POVERT FIGHTING BACK. THIS IS INEVITABLE LIKE I SAID TO MY FRIEND. Let's hope things returned back to normal but poverty will surely strike back if we don't end bad governance.There is too much poverty in the land all because of bad governance. Nigeria is hopeless and helpless. 2 Likes |

Now they will begin to appreciate the value of police they were chasing and killing just because of the excesses of the bad eggs among them. The solution had always been REFORM of the police and their brutality not EndSars; you just can't throw away the baby along with the bath water - now the same youths they incited into this wanton destruction would eventually be the ones paying for this mess, through loss of direct foreign & local investments and therefore job opportunities for them. 2 Likes |

texazzpete:I'm not celebrating and even if the curfew was 9pm, we all know protesters were never leaving before then. Would you have rather preferred the shooting at 9pm. Let me be sure if you condemn the act or the time it was perpetrated. People like you got us into this mess and will pay dearly for it. This time, not to the government, but the peaceful people you cheer while they perpetrate crimes and cart away guns. You think you're helping Nigeria but you are part of the problem. There is no where in the world where you can vouch for the sanity and sanctity of all protesters so spare me the emotional blackmail. I joined the protests actively for days before I couldn't take the nuisance of some of us who later joined again. They smoked even among the crowd and drank alcohol and fought. I knew it wouldn't be long before the real beast in these people is let out. I stopped going majorly because I'm allergic to smoke and almost everywhere you turned, someone was smoking. We shutdown OYSG House. At that point, we got the government but some idiots kept pushing their luck too far and I don't want to believe you're one of them. Emotions were running and suddenly, we thought our fathers who fought but not this long and loud are fools. I was begging and engaging my colleagues and those I could that we needed to negotiate. These idiots no gree, they lost it and weren't sure what they were fighting for anymore. Thugs hijacked the protest and I was 100% happy Sanwo Olu declared a curfew. I was all in for sanity and dialogue. You want to prove to me that all those at Lekki were non-violent people but before dawn, everywhere was on fire even as you calm soldier shoot through the night. Give us list of our heroes who died there so that we can immortalize them but no one could provide. Don't ever tell me protesters don't get violent. When the attack police stations, they are hoodlums, when they are killed there, they are peaceful protesters. Just don't get me trigger on many things we did wrong. I'm done with the movement. We are not ready. The people aiming for destabilization far outnumber those who want a change. I'm fvcking done. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
