Self-immolation.

This was exactly what triggered the Arab spring of a decade ago and led to the ousting of most regimes in the Arab world.

But here in Nigeria, we are all docile, self-centred, cowardly, and contented with suffering and smiling while the evil leaders continue to trample on our collective rights and well beings.u are right bro.100% right

What a shame.

What now happened to those countries?

There's currently fuel scarcity in those countries. Their citizens are groaning and trekking under the blazing sun while suffering and smiling.

Their President is on a junketing spree around the globe and could care less what the citizens are having to deal with.

Should I tell you more?

They have started denying as usual. It is hard for them to explain that when they were forcefully siezing people's property, someone that purchased his on hire purchase set himself ablaze.
taskforce was not invoved in the arrest.it was LASTMA.taskforce just went there to quell the impending riot.

The bus operators pay dues/ taxes to their union.
The union in turn must have attorneys on retainers to represent union members on matters such as this.
Union members are then supposed to call the lawyer ) union representative immediately and NOT to offer any resistance or forcefully engage government officials.
The vehicle will be retrieved following approved OFFICIAL process.
The vehicle is returned to the owner hopefully without any MALICIOUS damage.
All EXPENSES PAID courtesy of UNION DUES
This applies to okada, Keke napep , other transport operators .
This is how it should be. A better society is POSSIBLE!.

Nigerians loves breaking simple law ... even this morning one stupid trailer driver stop in the middle of a busy road talking to his girlfriend... if dem catch am now we go dey say them frustrate am... Nigerians loves breaking law... if you like keep lieing yourself na you know ooo


It's still the same people like you that's making the country what it's, how bad things became. There's an issue on ground of someone setting himself ablaze, you're talking of someone who parked, talking to his gf and na blood dey run your veins so.

People would always break law, that's why it's there, but not extort people for personal gains.

Even with personal cars do what you brought up there, and is that an offense warranting an arrest or warning or impounding the means of movement....?

I tell you, we have so many fools in this part of the world. Most people only think of their immediate reaction to issue in this country, not a long term objective.

If you are pushed to the brink by someone to the extent of taking your life, why can't you send that person to hell first? Lucky enough, that retribution can convince you not to take your own life again.

Most of the people that make a rash decision like this are often blindfolded by their religion. They think God will punish the person on their behalf.

Good riddance!

Driving recklessly and breaking road rules, then when you are being punished for your act, you kill yourself.

Bye, useless Nigerian!

It's sad, and I wouldn't be so callous to dismiss his suicide.

We don't know how close people are to the edge. This man must have suffered greatly to get to this point. One's only means of survival, work so hard from 4am-8pm for years only to feed agberos, government officials, task force; and now where will he get money to remove the vehicle from impound. One will work his fingers to the bone, only to have enough to eat beans once a day. One will be sick from the stress, at constant risk of getting killed by kidnappers or police. It could be the hire-purchase owner no wan hear story. Or he's owing people at the end of the month who don't take "please be patient" for an answer.

To some: so what's the point of living? Life is already a living hell, so why keep struggling just to eventually die anyway?

A prayer for his soul, and for those he left behind. I also pray this will be a turning point in some hardened officials.

Igbos dislike Yorubas because each time Igbos think they are smart, Yorubas always come out smarter with better results. Igbo hate is as a result of frustration at the successes of Yorubas.
