You are never sensible in anything you post. Why don't to wait to see whether they will send soldiers to start shooting and killing the truckers. I have said this before, you are not meant to be living amongst humans , you are meant to be in a psychiatric place, you truly need help. A nut has truly lost in your head

sunkieisland:
Both situations can never be the same. Nigerians protested injustice of SARS, a few people of a particular trade are protesting and we are making comparison.

the fallout of the endsars protests was not commendable but we shouldn't compare as both scenarios are not the same.

The Canadian government provides a good atmosphere for her citizens but we are still battling amenities here and we are comparing. The government sponsored tugs and killers just to disrupt the protest....

No basis for comparison. These guys treat their citizens like human beings and wouldn't expect extreme behavior but we treat our own people like animals and expect them to behave like human beings.

Food for thought.

NOwazobia:
You didn't counter his point.

Has anyone been shot at or arrested and brutalized by the European police? That is the point.

seunny4lif:

I’m sure you don’t follow news from France, Belgium, NZ, Australia, and Holland.
Go to Twitter now and check France news

thundafire:
In every protest there are hoodlums that will cause trouble and affect everyone. But the military wouldn't come out and shoot but police will be very civil and only look out for the urchins that will cause trouble till der grievances or agreement with government is tabled for negotiation

kponkedenge:
Lai Mohammed should shut up. The protesters have been left alone to protest for days, if not weeks,

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Now he has a point..let me see who's sensible enough to counter and prove his Statement baseless..
The countdown starts now..

The Canadian government will never send the army to shoot at the protesters.

ENDSARS remained a very peaceful protests until the Nigerian army starting shooting at innocent people. So, don't be deceived by Lai Muhammad. That man is a chronic liar.

On the issue of regulating social media, that's apart. Social media regulation has been in the talks before the ENDSARS protest. And by the way, nothing whatsoever has been achieved, except that the cost of advert on Facebook and probably Twitter has been increased by 7.5%. Those of us who run online adverts are the ones paying the price, not Twitter, not Facebook.

kponkedenge:
Lai Mohammed should shut up. The protesters have been left alone to protest for days, if not weeks, without interruption, but they've started taking things too far by disrupting normal Canadians going about their business, interruption of the supply chain of goods and services within Canada and also across the border.

It is also pertinent to note that these protesters are not the majority of truck drivers who didn't join the protests.

Also they have started getting funding from far right groups in the US, making it all the more to look political and not a genuine protest.

Not like Nigerian protest that within that same day police or soldiers would start shooting at you for nothing.

NOwazobia:
You are still pushing the goal post. What is the country in question again?

adamsmith914:
A lot of naive children imagine that the United States is a bed of roses.

seunny4lif:

What are you typing?
Because I don’t understand your questions anymore?
You asked for a country but I gave you countries.
Go back and read what you typed again

adamsmith914:
You respond after your quick google research?

Ok so cops have stopped killing innocent Hispanics & Blacks in New York?

NOwazobia:
mtcheww, have a nice day.

Eriokanmi:
Where was your head before sir?

But so far, I've not heard that military was deployed to the protesting truckers to kill them. All we saw were the police maintaining peace, unlike here where police were seen killing peaceful protesters before huloodlums hijacked it and started burning stations and killing police in reprisals.

Again, were police not brutal on the Nigerian youths, most of whom are doing legitimate businesses? The answer is yes. You can't compare those protesting over covid-19 with those protesting over the killing of their innocent loved ones by the corrupt police here.

Again, same twitter had banned some users who had spoken or twitted disrespectfully about buhari and his government before, check it. Buhari who's an individual account holder isn't above the law of twitter. You can't compare the 2 scenarios please Lai.

The insurrection in DC was a pure act of terror. Nobody had invaded the national assembly here before in that manner. Such an act wouldn't have be taken lightly by Nigerians as well.

Whoever thinks Laid Mohammed made any sense here should have his head checked.

People protesting against vaccines mandate can be branded as terrorists. Vaccination is scientifically proven to be the best way to tackle a diseases that's gone pandemic. Trying to use pseudoscience and freedom of choice as a tool to cause crisis, every government can rightly brand such people as terrorists. The Canadian government has a point here here although just like every government, they might get overbearing in the exercise of their power. Those protesting also have a point but the government can not be easily armed twist to change a law that has to do with the healthcare of the citizens.

On the other hand, government did not have any defense against the endsars and the government responded by causing deliberately paying people to cause chaos which almost got out of hand

Reference:
And who is saying what the Canadian government is doing is right.
This shows that we are still steeped in sentiment and emotion and so have been looking everywhere to justify our actions.

The present Canadian government is not popular for this and its popularity has been on the wane for sometime, hardly the example of what is right. Why did he not use the examples of other nations in Europe for instance where most countries there have had such protests in recent months and tap from the wisdom is the ways they diffused such situations, without over reaching violence, carnage and bloodshed.

We must learn to separate issues from personalities and events from names in this country and view things objectively.
We should stop being drawn to wrong things to justify our wrongs. We can never make progress that way.
What the Nigerian government did was wrong.
What the Canadian government is doing is wrong as well, period.

ModestGal:

Sorry, not in the Canada, that I am

People are the protests are having fun, bringing thier children and celebrating. If it were to be in Nigeria,they would have brought guns to kill the citizens. Police are nice to protesters, and old people are cheering them up. In Nigeria,old people are known to always supporting evils,cnt even type again..

He has a very valid point....people should stop demarketing NIgeria....invariably you are making NIgeria cheap.
