"Hoodlums have hijacked the protest from us." You said protest is the right of every Nigerian. Hoodlums are Nigerians too. They are protesting the way they know how. Who are "us" you're referring to? Did you define yourselves or those eligible to join the protest? Was it not you calling everybody to join the struggle? Sowore even called the police to join them in the revolution. Hoodlums, who are also Nigerians with grievances now joined, and you said they hijacked it. What is hijack? Did they stop you from doing your own protest? Did they redefine what you want or change the 5 abi 17 points agenda? Part of your own agenda is to release your own fellow protesters arrested. Part of their own agenda is to release their friends that were in prison since (they also thought they were wrongly imprisoned, or no be only them be thieves). You had no leader, fixed group or coordination, and you called everybody to join you. Hoodlums now joined you, and you said they hijacked it from you.
Please stop the joke.
Let's even assume they've seized control of your own protest, you cannot take back control from ordinary hoodlums, and you want to take control of Nigeria from Buhari and the army? Are you dreaming?

Buhari was right. Nigerian youths are lazy and useless
StagethemTVee: People are angry and decisons made in anger are seldom correct or beneficial. What we need to do now is to take that little boy's advise and "calm down". The goverment and military has done us wrong, let us not do ourselves wrong too
Brooklynsouth: you may be right but you are a known supporter of this government and no one will take you serious because we know where your loyalty lies so use another moniker and advise this one don cast
If u are wise u will focus on the message not the messenger. Whether u like buhari or not won't stop stray bullet from smashing your brains. Stay home and stay safe!
proxillin: Lekki Construction company is owned by Tinubu.
They are currently burning the company
First of all, you cant prove that tinubu owns LCC
But even if that were so, if u burn the company who will suffer? will that make tinubu poor The only thing u will achieve is to render more youths jobless and hungry. The person u think u are attacking wont really be affected
limeta: Please and please, end the protest and stay home. Dont die for nothing. Stay safe and refused to be manipulated and used to destroy your country! One love
You call this a country Are you okay
If u die, your parents and loved ones will lose you thats all. You will change nothing.
If Nigeria goes up in flames, its you and i that will perish The politicians will fly out in private jets
Make no mistake, many of the BIG people supporting the protest are either not in Nigeria or have private jets at their disposal. Oyedepo has 4.
Many people will fume and call me names, but as for me i dont support this pointless protest for many reasons. First of all, Nigerian youths claim they want an end to police brutality and bad government but if we are sincere with ourselves, arent we the ones that empower and created these monsters in the first place. When you use police to settle private civil disputes and to bully each other, what did u expect will eventually happen? when u collect 5k from politicians to vote for them regardless of their pedigree, how can u turn aroung to blame the politicians for looting? Abi wont they "recoup" their investment When u surrender yourself to be used as political thugs during election, how are u any different from SARS?
The truth is the change we truly seek starts from we the people. We must look inwards and change our ways and ideology. You complain that govt officials are corrupt, but many times its the same people complaining that go there to bribe the officials in order to get personal favours i.e jump queue or get a particular service faster . If everybody refuses to give or receive bribe or act as thug then no govt official will be corrupt.
More importantly, this whole protest business looks too much like what has been happening all over the world like in tunisia, egypt, syria, iraq, afghanistan etc The whole business smells of foreign interference to distabilize Nigeria. It looks too much like what happened in libya where the cause appeared to be just but at the end of the day we saw it was American and France behinde it all just for Libya's oil.
Please and please, end the protest and stay home. Dont die for nothing. Stay safe and refused to be manipulated and used to destroy your country! One love
Rgade: Hmm. One thing everyone will notice from this FG,ASUU standoff, whether you are pro FG or pro ASUU is that this FG in their characteristic manner has never been honest at any point. They have kept up with the lying they are known for. * Lying that most ASUU members are already on IPPIS. * Lying that all lecturers are currently being paid whether on IPPIS or not. * Lying that lecturers not on IPPIS will only stop receiving salaries as from November. * Lying that every one received IPPIS warmly. Plot twist : SSANU and NASU have both kicked against IPPIS.
You just can't help but wonder,if the FG is so convinced that they are up to a noble quest,why the relentless lying, dishonesty and shifting of goalpost. The fact that the FG will not stop lying simply means that ASUU has been vindicated
kingemaker: "I kept quiet for a while because in 2015 i warned this nation, vehemently, consistently, because i saw the dangers ahead and you can tell. The most gruesome season in the history of the nation is the last 5 years where lives have no value, wanton killings here and there." What does this mean??
Stop playing the ostrich. The problems of this country didn't start 5yrs ago. If jonathan was so good buhari would never have won the 2015 election. So pls don't hide behinde endsars protest to champion your political bias. Nigeria lost its way a long long time ago and all of us are a big part of the problem, not just buhari.
