Well said. Wish Nigerian youths could protest against the deep issues affecting the country, such as corruption, extremely high cost of governance (salaries of Nigerian senators and reps especially), high level of unemployment, the same way we're addressing this SARS issue.

In one way or the other, these are core issues that gave rise to societal ills like this SARS menace.

But sadly, Nigerians are docile.

Earnestly hope these protests will yield something good and help reform the police.

(Though personally, I'm yet to see Buhari's leadership demonstrate any strong will to tackle the SARS menace head-on.)

SARS is the lowest hanging fruit that even this government with it's relentless incompetence should be able to resolve. We have already established that every other thing you listed above its beyond it's pay grade

We already know they have no plans for the economy, health, education or employment but at the very least they can End SARS.

A government that gives nothing should be able to listen to the cries about the basic things which is for its operatives to stop killing people and taking the little they are living on to survive.

donjazet:
I'm sure you know the difference between reform and shutdown.
something like this is not what you just end suddenly, what happens thereafter?? do you think the young agents would just quietude retire??
I personally do think that after all these protests which has even attracted foreign attention and news agencies like BBC and CNN, things will never be the same for the SARS agents. they are bound to be reformed.

They are not reformable. How many times are we going to repeat this?? Can you bend a dry fish without breaking it?

They need to be ended as a unit. Then we can focus on large scale reform. The short term goal for now is to end them. We have tried reforming in the past. It did not work

Ibime:
One police officer said they pay N200-N250K to be promoted to SARS.

And boys think they will not make their investment back? All they need to do is catch one iamoyindamola to breakeven.

Another Police Officer said they don't have patrol vehicle or fuel. They hire cab for the day's work, and the DPO will tell them first N5k you make, use am settle driver. How will such Police officers not be setting up innocent civilians to make pay.

You never see SARS dey march Venza dey rock Asheluxe. This thing no be chere kambia

iamoyindamola:
Na these ones they wan reform
I laff in Nigeria

See oh. Please if you see these ones for night you no go run? A unit literally called Special Anti Robbery squad is literally robbing people and some clowns are talking about reform. Do people think at all. Anyone seeing these loons in action and still finding a way to defend them is part of the problem

eph12:
Do you have a source?

RRS are 100 times better than SARS. I don't know what the dude is on about. When have you heard anyone complain about RRS in the last 5 years?

Roland17:
I wish, hope and pray...But how many times have we even tried clapping against corruption, unemployment (especially amongst the youth), insecurity and poverty in Nigeria?

If you end SARS for all I care, would it resolve the level of insecurity in the country? 8 in 10 Nigerian youth are either unemployed or underemployed..Why are we not breaking walls for this? Where are our priorities for God’s sake?

Remind me how much is fuel? Remind, what is the exchange rate of Dollar-Naira?

Again, I could care less if SARS stay or go but I hope the Nigerians reset their priorities.

One problem at a time. This SARS is the most pressing and important one right now. Any country where youths are more scared of police than thieves is a failed one. SARS attack everyone both the employed, unemployed and underemployed. They attack males and females. Local and expats.

There is enough problems facing Nigerian youths already let's remove the SARS first and focus on subsequent ones. This is Protest SZN

As one who has experienced armed robbery at its peak in our estate b4 sars existf in river state,all the estate guards were killed including 3 mopol officers,my dad had to risk his life by asking us to jump over our own fence while one of the robbers was shooting into the air.It was terrible,not to say the least.On The other hand,i have been stopped by SARS officers thrice,their conduct was very unprofessional but they are way better than armedrobbers.Or is it when greenlanders and icelanders were busy counting scores in abuloma,trans-amadi,diobu and other areas in ph.When you couldn't walk safely on the streets of ph?.
Ending SARS would be giving men of the underworld free rein. Let's not forget that a significant percentage of sars were former "underworld men".At Least with sars,the "underworld is divided".

So now that people are more afraid of SARS than armed robbers what is now their use? When was the last time you heard SARS foiled any robbery attack. Where have you heard police checking people's phones and marching them to ATM points? Not even in war-torn Syria

As far as we are concerned SARS = Armed Robbers. The underworld is not divided. They are the new underworld

Everybody knows where I stand on LeNomad but Danny Green should absolutely be making that shot. Hard to fault him there

It's good to see Jimmy Butler prove that you don't have to spam the 3 ball to win and contend

If I'm the Lakers I'm super worried that LeNomad played arguably his best game of the series and the Lakers lost. When your best player shoots 70% from the field and your best two players combine for 68 you should win the game.

Anywho we would be monitoring AD's situation. Though I firmly believe Frank Vogel and the Lakers are selling wolf tickets

DeeMain:
What I don't understand is the mentality of keeping injured or unfit marquee players at crucial points in the game. Why not sub AD off when he was hobbling and Lakers were playing one man down as a result?

Bam was also short one today. We don't want to hear stories. If he's on the court he can play

etidy:
Depending on the extent of Ads injury, the Lakers maybe in trouble.
The heat definitely smell blood

AD has been probable and questionable every game for this season. I hope the Heat don't down tool and fall for such scam. AD will play

raumdeuter:
You know most Dutch clubs will rather play their own youths too and cannot afford much. I thought we should have shopped him elsewhere. I dont like the situation he is in currently. This guy needs a 2yr loan

I don't know sha tbvh. I would have rather we held on to this kid than Choupo Moting abi no be the same Choupo wey miss empty post for Final? When has his goal scoring record been even passable?

As you rightly said no Dutch club would be in a hurry to groom our youth so throw him into the fire with the first team. I think we did a lot of panicking after that Hoffenheim game but that team has been in form since the back end of last season

olabode89:
48 seconds rest... Dude is earning every cent of his 32.7M contract.

Every fuckin cent. Just left for the likes of Tyler Herro to show up but kid is literally 20. He should be playing COD or Red Dead redemption rn

Uggggh tough

Awon referee yi sha. Hope they will get MVP awards too

Lol Miami don lose focus

How is Jimmy Butler still standing even? I don't think he has sat all game for even 30 seconds

WeissVonner:
Lol, I know you will disappear before this game ends. I know it.

Lmaoooo what is with you lot? Why will I disappear in a series LeNomad is supposed to win? I didn't disappear in 2016 when the Cavs came back from the dead so why is it now that your guy is facing a bunch of 20 y.os

olabode89:
Bron dey on fire though 4/5 from down town.

Yeah he's actually stepped up this series and cleared all doubts that he is the head honcho of this team

KCP has been sneaky good this series

And Jimmy Butler. Win or lose my respect for this man is through the roof

olabode89:
Chief!

You dey enter this arena too

I dey oh spreading the Anti-Bron propaganda to those who dem never brainwash finish

WeissVonner:
I swear you're only on this thread when the Lakers are down.


Just don't inexplicably disappear when the Lakers win.

WTF are you monitoring spirits on about? Down by how many? Are the leads unassailable? Two to four points leads in a basketball game that's what you're hanging your hat on?

Deactivate unto 4-6? Wetin una dey smoke for that una cult

WeissVonner:
Its not even about everyone else. You certainly didn't. Suffice it to say it's very satisfying to see you eat crow after all the sh-t you've been talking.

Oh and BTW, your man dropped "The Last Dance" too early, he may need to come back with a second iteration.

Of course I thought the Clippers were the team for the job. Turns out they weren't. Boo-hoo

My guy doesn't need to drop anything, he's not insecure and requires constant validation like your phony goat

raumdeuter:
We need a loan option for Zirkzee. A club where he will play and develop. He is now behind Lewansoki and EMCM

Feyenoord couldn't pay his wages which makes you wonder how mid the pay must be over there to not be able to pay a Bayern academy product

21-4. Eziokwu

Is it men vs women?

Roland17:
@A40 please tell me you are still questioning the mentality of AD! The man wants all of the smoke and more..:

Abeg I go question am well well. Have you seen his 4th quarter totals? He's definitely not winning FMVP and he's really supposed to be the one driving this team. Low-key an indictment on him that a player in his 17th year is doing so

Funny LeNomad about to win his 4th ring and A40 still the name on they lips. Rent free

"Nobody gave the Lakers a chance after acquiring AD". All you niggas do is lie

raumdeuter:
In

Chupo Mo
ting on loan
Douglas Costa on loan
Roca for 10m
Sarr for 10m

Out
Cuisance to Marseille
Fein to PSV
Zirkzee yet to be confirmed

Not sure of Javi Martinez

Brazzo coming through in the last minute again. I doubted him for all of 3 days

There is this new kid Tiago Dantas coming as well that I heard was personally recommended by Herr Flick. His option to buy is only €8m and he is supposedly Thiago 2.0 our last Benfica buy didn't go too well so let's hope this one is different

Even with goalkeeper not named Neuer

WeissVonner:
LOL you're not fooling anyone. "I just woke up", you were nowhere to be found after game 1 and 2, you miraculously show up when the Lakers are down 6 in the fourth. Talk your sh-t, just be here to eat your humble pie when the time comes.

Believe what you want mate. That is your fat luck

I was banned the very night of Game 1 but go awfffff

I didn't bother with Game 2 after finding out no Bam and no Dragic. There is no humble pie to eat, you're facing a underdog team down it's two leading scorers you're condemned to win and not even gloat about it

Hehehehe even if the fans and Laker haters alike have embraced defeat doesn't mean the players should too. Let them mean mug and Ice grill. They will be fine as long as they can back it up. I want to see them keep fighting till the bitter end
