Politics › Re: UN Urges Investigation Into Shooting Of Peaceful Protesters At Lekki by addictiv(m): 8:21am On Nov 04, 2020
What is there to investigate. The government sent soldiers to shoot people. Asking the government to investigate is same as asking them to admit to having a hand in the deaths of unarmed protesters. Nothing will come out from the investigations as long as its done by the government. The UN should be the one to lead the investigations if they re truly interested in finding out the truth about what happened.
Politics › Re: Sunday Dare: Why FG Didn’t Shut Down Social Media During EndSARS Protests by addictiv(m):
You morons can't understand that social media is not a light bulb that u can switch off and on. Even if FG has the power to it which they can't, somebody will either embezzle the money meant for the process or give the contract to his brother that has no idea on how to format a flash drive not talk of shutting down the Internet. The best they can do is to ask the ISPs in Nigeria to block certain websites and apps. Which dozens of simple vpn found on playstore or browsers like tor, opera can easily bypass.. 9ja no be China.

Crime › Re: Oba Of Lagos Staff Returned Mysteriously by addictiv(m): 5:46pm On Oct 26, 2020
Most traditional rulers have more than 1 staff, they usually have 1 or two major ones and possibly an extra as spare incase one gets stolen or damaged. But u mean oba forgot his staff in his bid to escape his people .. The symbol of his authority. Just like a soldier running away and forgetting his gun.. He must have been really scared and decided to flee for his life.

Everyone that has supported the shooting of unarmed civilians and the blatant denial by both FGN and Army will one day witness this same pain and then they may truly understand what it means to loose someone for nothing and nobody cares because you don't matter.

the beauty of everything is that no matter how ewarriors try to twist the truth, the massess know the truth about who their oppressors are and one day they will rise up and vanquish those that stand against them. and when that day comes even abroad will not be safe for these oppressors because the nigerian masses there will locate them where ever they go on this planet. my advice to these ewarriors is to speak to thier patrons and advice them to change thier ways and put the people first before it gets too late. Anyone who supports or encourages the suffering and oppression of Nigerians in any way owes a great debt and one day payment will be demanded in full.

Oba that cannot stand and face his people is that one oba? Oba that cannot defend his throne and Palace, how can he defend the people he is supposed to protect, oba that kept palliatives meant for his people for himself and his chiefs. Oba that ran away like a woman while his domain is desecrated, that kept quiet while soldiers shoot unarmed civilians in his domain is that one fit to be called oba ?

You see this protests... People are not protesting just because of SARS.. People are angry and hungry and if care is not taken, it will be the beginning of anarchy in Nigeria. All that is remaining is for somebody to start sponsoring some armed militants to fight against the army and police and that's the end of Nigeria as we know it. As it is now people will readily join militant groups against this government if they see a strong and vibrant group.

Crime › Re: EndSARS: The Victim Of Yesterday's Delta Shooting Is Alive (Photo) by addictiv(m):
ethicallyright:
It's a shame our opinions on the subject of #endsars are divergent but it doesn't render me daft or my previous comments void.
I think you must be pseudo liberal to have loved my comments in the past , I'm liberal as well and that's a good thing.
I have moved around few Nigerian cities and I have been stopped for thorough search few times but I have never been shot , slapped or harassed.
I only hear about SARS brutality against innocent and calm people on Social media.
I do not keep a low cut, I will draw tattoos later in Life, I wear rugged jeans and baseball shoes or maybe it's because I'm not currently using an iPhone .

Now why I think you think I'm daft and why you should not conclude hastily:

The only people who have extorted me on the streets are Cultists . After a friend I visited around 5pm saw me off around 6pm and I was about to board a tricycle , heavily bearded men numbering 6 pushed the Keke to stop and brought me down. They said I was wearing a "wrong" colour for my Polo and sneakers. They held my phone and the necklace on my neck.


I knelt to beg because the necklace was my mum's costliest jewelry, pure gold with fragments of other precious stones (I borrowed it without telling her). I even told them I'm orphaned and my uncles will send me to prison. Since they were mostly drunks they told me to buy a drink 5000 for each of them. I called my friend I visited, who was surprised I didn't reach home and he brought 30,000 naira from home. They let me go and warned me never to wear those colours again. I repaid my friend through bank transfer the next day. That's why I started driving so that I would drive into a compound I visit and speed out when I'm done without harassment.
Since I started driving and obviously still swagging SARS have not extorted me up to 10,000 naira cumulatively. They've told me to come down and open the boot of the car, they have asked me for particulars and other details which I showed and informed them that I was running errands for my parents who own the car. The money I gave them was always 500 or 1000 naira to drink beer.
Endsars started trending and it was the celebrities who openly show the cults that they are affiliated with and their followers that were spearheading the movement. What about the #endcultism and fraud movement. Is it not what SARS people are fighting practically without social media support?

If you were in my shoes what would be your verdict?
If this very event which has turned out to be false as reported was distorted earlier by those who first reported it , why should I believe that most criminals don't also distort facts to paint SARS as bad?

My comment was based on my reality not herd mentality.
The fact that your realities re different doesn't mean that the realities of others are not true or irrelevant... The Army, navy, etc are known to be brutal in their dealings with civilians but how times have people gone on to protest against them repeatedly almost every single year.
Politics › Re: Lauretta Onochie: EndSARS Campaign Is A Coordinated Attack By Cyber Criminals by addictiv(m):
Truth is this people can't understand what ordinary Nigerians re going through because they live in FCT. If you stay in south south and move to FCT you will understand what I am saying. In Abuja the police is more organised and professional so they think its like that everywhere. That doesn't mean that when you see citizens complain about something repeatedly because it doesn't affect you, you feel its irrelevant. Everything na turn by turn.. One day e go reach you too.
Romance › Re: Why Is The Bride Normally Stands On The Left Side Of Groom? by addictiv(m): 10:35pm On Oct 02, 2020
The groom uses the right hand to draw his sword.. And defend his bride from other suitors who may want to steal his bride... It originated from a tradition where marriage by capture was practiced... Also that's where the position of the bestman came in... The bestman is supposed to be the best sword fighter among the grooms friends whose duty is to help the groom secure his bride and whisk her off successfully. For that reason only the best swordsmen were chosen as bestmen..

Christianity Etc › Re: Your Dreams Explained by addictiv(m): 11:34pm On Aug 29, 2020
I had a dream where I was getting married to the love of my life... We were both happy but I kept on feeling being rushed and wishing I could take my time to give her the best wedding possible. It was as if the wedding was done in a hurry, I wasn't on my choice suit, the hall and decorations wasn't on point as I would have wished, guests were not that many, I forgot the wedding rings in the dressing room upstairs and while someone rushed up to get the ring, I asked the priest to use the bible in place of the rings. In the end we were happy to be married to each other but I felt we could have had a more colourful and hitch free wedding if we had given ourselves more time to plan and get ready.

What good is money that cannot be used when you need it.

Can money but back all the years lost?
No it can't but it can ensure he lives the rest of his life without worrying about money which is better than a lot of free folk who are in financial distress.
