I've noticed your stupidity and I discovered that you kept on using insulting words in all your post.

Whats your problem?? Do you lack manners? Or is insult part of your traits??

Mumu what are you rambling about? If you dont like how I speak so what. If you have counter argument present it.

popefuse:
there is no protest across the earth that wont involve blocking roads or violent in a way, few month ago as civilized as America is the block the major city across America and further burndown several police stations. hongkong protested for a year before the govt listen to them, when you push the masses to the bring of dealt they will fight back and it will be brutal, if almighty American citizen can go ballistic & burnt everywhere down what do you expect naija to do, Nigerians are the most patient people in the world , civilized country cant take shit naija youth are taken. Peace be upon this country

Ok your point being what they shouldn't be punished for breaking the law. In all those places these people get charged and prosecuted. If it's wrong it's wrong.

LadyExcellency:
They were all discharged without charge in court.

What Police did is nonsense except the court pronounces judgement.

Arrest is not conviction and it didn't stop the protest.

Lol they weren't convicted mumu? The only place these sort of idiots are not charged are in lawless domains that coddle criminals. Obstructing traffic is a crime mumu there's no debating that fact. You can't cite your time argument because u made it up.

LadyExcellency:
The term Civil disobedience as instrument of protest nullifies your regular or basic civil laws. Provided it doesn't involve criminality. It is permissable. As I said before, it depends on length of time.


Your fact checking is stupidity to say the least.

Occupy US Autonomous Zone blocked road for more than two months and it wasn't illegal. They were disbanded because of criminal offences.

Cite where does the law give the length of time liar. Stop telling foolish lies I gave you law in black and white still rambling inane nonsense. Lol blm blocked roads and were arrested immediately because obstructing traffic is illegal mumu.

Btw the chop was illegal from the start. The mayor just decided not to enforce the law until it spiraled out control like the idiot she is. People had to be murdered before dhe came to her senses. Lol the probably the leardership you desire in your commuity right?

Hampton police announced charges Tuesday for a Black Lives Matter 757 leader after protesters marched Friday on Mercury Boulevard and blocked traffic at a major intersection.

Police charged 35-year-old Aubrey “Japharii” Jones, of Newport News, with one count each of obstructing the free passage of others, improper use of a highway by a pedestrian and failing to obey the lawful order of police.

LadyExcellency:
You are partially correct depending on the length of time.

This is the akin to what labour unions do when they are on strike by picketing the factories, banks etc

Obstructing road ways even for second is illegal. I dont get why you guys just start making up stuff like nobody can fact check you. No it's not akin to picketing. Feel free to cite your source if you have it.

ROAD OBSTRUCTION: Obstructing the highway by abnormal parking or repair of faulty vehicles on the road in the wrong manner. Using objects to block the way. Or stopping in the highway in a manner that affects other drivers.

goodheart02:
To hell with your bloody civic class. Take the class to your ignorant leaders who have not tenacity of leadership in them.

Lol what are you rambling about? The facts remain individuals dont own the road and constricting the roads is illegal. If you dislike the learders join the club.

goodheart02:
The street is part of Nigeria, they're Nigerians and so they own the street


By the way why should the Police set up road blocks constituting nuisance just to collect #50. Are they the owners of the road??

Take a civics class genius. Roads aren't private property hence why the cant be blocked to other people who also have a right to its use. There's no debating that constructing the roads is illegal for good reason.

Police are also wrong and should be stopped dont reason like a five year old. I really dont get why you guys like arguing what aboutisms.

TimeTraveler369:
You are craving for a Chanel to transmit your frustrations. You must be from a dysfunctional family

You're a mumu who cant defend your foolish comments. Lol why do you clowns insist on dying on these hills? Mumu we both know foolishness is part your culture thats why you think obstructing traffic is legal.

Sarmiz24:
Wonders shall never end a coward like you forming Nonsense behind a 20k Naira Android phone dey call people who are out on the street protesting not Tough enof Limao guy u be clown aswear, if u are tough enof to say this go to the street wit a megaphone and make ur point nah Mumu.... The other guy that called you a poor man is right, cuz one tin I notice be say police no dey poor and reched goat like u, na fresh guys dem dey Harras not owu citizen like u

Lol mumu your still rambling? At the end of the day you couldn't argue the agsinst the facts I told you. Obstructing the road is illegal. Your imaginary god is just as foolish as you. He cant do anything about to me or police killing you. Keep praying to him pussy since you're clearly no threat to anyone but yourself.

TimeTraveler369:
Poor people and annoyance.

Mumus and foolishness. Stop trying to debate simple facts.

Sarmiz24:
guy shut up ur Mumu smelling mouth, My prayer is one day for police to brutalize u or one of ur family members idiot... since u claim to know the law, come out where people are protesting come dey yarn this nonsense wey u dey yarn for there, if dem no comot ur teeth na small e go remain yeye human being.... no wisdom at all shioor

Lol mumu why not pray your imaginary god stops police brutality? The no debating the facts I stated you emotional its just dont like hearing the truth. If they're so tough they wouldn't be chased away by thugs will clubs.

TimeTraveler369:
Who owns the street if not the masses whose resources are exploited to build the streets.

Do you smoke water vapor ?

Lol mumu it's illegal to block the street stop debating facts. You went to schoool abd still reason like an idiot. It's a public good not personal property your house mumu.

Eriokanmi:
See this one. What's called a protest? Google it. Mounting roadblocks is one of the tools used, so far they're not being violent, its in order. I was at Lekki yesterday, up to iyana ipaja and abule egba, all the roads were only partially blocked. 3 lanes were merged into one.

Mumu obstructing traffic is illegal dont debate facts. It's a 20k fine in lagos. Blocking roads is civil disobedience but is still illegal. The police have right to arrest you to allow freee flow of traffic. Take civics class before spewing foolishness.

picaso313:
it is not illegal when politicians block the roads during campaign? it is not illegal when roads are blocked during burials abi? it is not illegal for even the police and sars to block the road collecting 100naira from buses?... if you travel from Lagos to South or East you will see how holdups are caused as a result of 100naira bribes inclusive searching of phones.... they should block the road let all of us enter the street and protest! if e better for 1 e better for all of us...

Both must stop 2 wrong dont make a right. Lol you guys reason like 5 year olds. Unless you get permit from the city it's always illegal. This is why parade and block parties can happen because the jurisdiction in question will redirect traffic.

kokaneprodigy:
Is extrajudicial killings, extortion and abuse of office by SARS upholding the law? If No, how many have been charged?

Why you clowns cant debate the facts you resort to what aboutism. Everyone should be held accountable dont reason like a 5 year old. You holding up traffic is simply illegal because it's also holds up emergency vehicles you dont see.

Sarmiz24:
U are the bigger idiot here, trying to defend corruption... the young has been pointing out facts for u to see, but all ur stupid brain could tink of is to reply wit insult na u be the real Mumu

You assume im defending corruption because I state a simple fact. You mumus cant grasp nuance to save you life. Both actions are illegal idiot stop reasoning like a 5 year old. There's no debating the simple fact obstructing traffic is illegal and for good reason.

chinchonglee:
U re an idiot man!
Its obvious u re in ur 40s or 50s.
Ur generation is a curse to Nigeria.

Lol mumu you there's no debating the simple fact obstructing traffic is illegal. The police have a duty to clear traffic so everyone can go about their business. You clowns have a hard time with nuance.

tunapawizzy:
The people that steal tax payers money to send their kids abroad while they subject the system to rot, do they own the money...see ehn...we are sorry if peoples right to movement is tampered with BUT the people fighting the cause are doing it for all of US...including those who think their right to free movement is taken away...it wont last forever, the government will listen eventually and the protesters they see today as their problem will be their heroes.

You weirdos and your what aboutisms. Both actions are illegal are should be stopped. Dont reason like a 5 year old. Is your sorry going to bring back dead stuck in traffic because the couldnt get to the hospital?

Prophet777:
Do you think you are making any sense? What can be so precious than the sanctity of human life? How will govt take them so serious when they have decided not to be violence?

It's illegal to block the street there's no debating that fact. If human life is so precious you'd understand why it's illegal to obstruct traffic which does hold up emergency vehicles as well. The police have a duty to move you so everyone can go about their business.

jaxxy:
Protests are large crowds they can occupy anywhere to make their points clear. Come and arrest them. If they are law abiding u can’t do shit.

That's false which is why obstruction of roads is illegal. The cops can they're just choosing not to.

joeekuns:
Oga not when it has to do with protest...even the America you made mention of protesters block road and nobody is arrested. It's only when they're vandalising properties that arrests can be made. In protest your yearnings/request need to be heard and that can only be achieved when roads/government offices are blocked.

Stop lying blm actists were arrested for obstructing traffic. It's illegal in America to obstruct traffic.

Hampton police announced charges Tuesday for a Black Lives Matter 757 leader after protesters marched Friday on Mercury Boulevard and blocked traffic at a major intersection.

Police charged 35-year-old Aubrey “Japharii” Jones, of Newport News, with one count each of obstructing the free passage of others, improper use of a highway by a pedestrian and failing to obey the lawful order of police.

Nchenches:
Who own the streets? Government is your answer. But who own the government? The people.

Take a civics class roads aren't private property hence why the cant be blocked to other people who also have a right to its use.

Originalsly:
You agree with civil disobedience.... but against blocking the streets....where does that take place?... in the bedroom? In America ... organizers apply for permit to hold a protest march... if given... protesters are escorted by Police. Below... yet another Black Lives Matter protest ... do you really believe it's legal?

Yes it's illegal to block the street. Blm was arrested for doing it recently.

Gerrard59:
Coming from someone who resides abroad, it's shameful that you would rather support the government that has made life miserable for ordinary Nigerians instead of backing peaceful prosteters who are agitating for change. E no dey tire you say Nigeria's problems too much? If these problems get solved as a result of these protests, won't you be happy?

Lol you clowns cant grasp nuance.You assume im defending corruption because I state a simple fact. Both actions are illegal idiot stop reasoning like a 5 year old. There's no debating the simple fact obstructing traffic is illegal and for good reason.

Skseries:
he asked a simple question no need for insults, oga light no suppose dey village? Do u have 24hrs of light in ur house? This is 2020 where country boast of 1gigawatt of electricity and u are living with barely 4000megawatt

Lol speak for yourself weirdo. I dont understand why you guys like speaking for others. His question was stupid hence why he got the rude response.

Powersurge:
At this point I don't care about your age. because I am certain you are older than me. But you are HIGHLY delusional. And you are not in touch with the reality in today's NIgeria.

If you define right or wrong in the light of a yahoo boy (not supporting them) and arrest them and out them to jail, and refused to put the man that stole billions to death, then you need to see a psychiatrist.

You are talking about blocking road in a country where minimum wage is 30k (most states are not paying yet) and a bag of rice is 36k. In fact you must be very mad.

Lol you clowns and your what aboutisms. Both actions you mentioned are illegal and should be stopped. Stop reasoning like a five year old.

VaselineCrew:
How long will protesters block the roads for? See mad standstill traffic yesterday

They should not turn a good thing bad. Leave at least one lane open, haba!

The police should do their jobs. Lol they're only interested in collecting bribes.

From what I can tell the nass seems pretty uninterested in this issue. Everyone knows real work is done in committee not Twitter.

Lastly have you witnessed someone getting arrested at a police checkpoints?

I've never seen the police do anything but take bribes at these checkpoints.

Police checkpoints in Nigeria do little to nothing to stop crime. If they were so effective why wouldn't they be useful in catching bandits and kidnappers. The police department just set up checkpoints to collect bribes. Police man power would be better used going on patrol or investigating actual crimes. The squeeze isnt worth the juice in regards to the checkpoints.

The next issue is what is the constitutionality of these random stops. Police don't have the right to search vehicle if they dont have probable cause to suspect you of a crime. They should do their jobs without harassing individuals going about their business.

Nigerians should ponder is there statistically less crime per capita in places with more checkpoints. What sort of offenders are usually caught. Has crime reduced as a result of increased check points or some other factors? Lastly have you witnessed someone getting arrested at a police checkpoints?

Lol Nairaland mumu virgin cant get no pussy unless you pay. Oh well I guess mobody wants to risk getting their kids cursed with bad genes.

Abasman008:
getting arrested in Nigeria uh?

If you're scared civil disobedience isnt for you. Not everyone has the conviction for such actions protest in some other manner if you want to.

Abasman008:
good .. so if you were a police you'd arrest them?

Yes it's illegal to block the road. Give them slap on the wrist charge then they can bail out in few hours. The roads will clear for everyone and they get the attention they wanted. Even Martin Luther King got arrested for his civil disobedience. Getting arrested is part of the process and a badge of honor if your for the cause.

Abasman008:
like black lives matter organisers were charged?

Yes, try using this thing called a search engine on your browser. Here's an example for you.

Let's stick to your moms pvsssy
We both have experience on that topic

Lol mumu you're a virgin. The loser tribe are known for being ugly lames.

StaffofOrayan:
[/quote]Lol did she also speak with you mumu? I guess everyone knows foolishness runs in your blood. Hopefully your children aren't cursed like yourself.

[quote author=VaselineCrew post=94904703]Nobody is thinking about others lives, well I guess such is our selfish human nature.

What about the cars with sick people going to the hospital, those travelling abroad, and so so many more cares people might have to attend to.

When you block the road, just like SARS, you cause suffering to the masses.

I would hope the have decency to move for emergency vehicles atleast. Other than that the will simply be removed from the roads. Civil disobedience works but their has to limits.

StaffofOrayan:
Na dis school I been pass out from

Ok mumu thanks for sharing.

StaffofOrayan:
Light no suppose dey village?

Lol it must part of your culture to ask stupid questions or just a family trait. You clowns are a strange bunch.

StaffofOrayan:
All this grammar and light no dey ur area

Lol spreak for yourself villager.

Mikecold:
Not to sound insensitive but yes

Lol facts don't care about your feelings. If they dont like the truth that's their problem. These clowns will simply distract from the issue with what a abouts and pointless nonsense.

Abasman008:
hello sir, so who punishes those that made them go out to protest?
I sense you are among those from 50 above ...it's you cowards who spoiled Nigeria..

Courageous clown it's illegal to block the street there's no debating that fact. I dont have an issue with civil disobedience. If the cops arrest you take the charge like a man do it again. You clowns reason like mumus thinking there's no consequences to breaking the law. Even in America you will naturally be charged for obstructing the roads.

No it's illegal to block the roads. When they caught they should be arrested and charged accordingly. They can practice civil disobedience if they want but there's consequences. They don't own the street so they cant block it.

Lol I wonder where people think government gets magic money to pay for these subsidies they demand. There's no reason to be surprised this announcement.

Free grazing range by herders, he pointed out, would be made impossible, as model ranches provided with basic social facilities, would be set up to make life easier for those involved in livestock business across the state.

How much are ranchers going to pay for these facilities? It's already been stared they wont own the land. These seevices shouldn't be provided for free even if they are paying taxes. The good thing about this for kogi is grazing is implicitly banned after this comes into effect.

Niger signed a bilateral treaty with the Republic of Benin for the construction of a railroad from Cotonou to Niamey (the main city in Niger).

“Niger’s best option is via Cotonou and that is why they opted for the Cotonou-Niamey project. More so, Maradi is of little or no economic significance to Nigeria.”

Can anyone including the author explain why it's economically beneficial for Benin to build rail to Nigeria Republic and not Nigeria?

Ehiscotch:
There are a lot of things Nigeria should never be importing. Whether or not it has been successful on the short term should not negate the fact that it was an excellent policy.

We all complain about the price of rice, should government give scarce forex to importers of rice, and other products to which we have comparative advantage and capacity to produce if investment is done.

The kind of things Nigerian pseudo-economists argue for would get laughed at in any sane clime.

Why should you never import beef? When did Nigeria produce enough to satisfy demands. An excellent policy is determined by the results. That hasn't been proven with this item others on ban list.

Lol nigeria doesn't have comparative advantage in rice. If Nigeria had comparative advantage it would be a net exporter. Can you name a year when nigeria was a net exporter? The reason nigeria doesn't is because most farming isnt mechanized.

PS: Anyone care to explain why top beef exporting countries also import? Importing beef will benefit the consumers at the end of the day suffering from food inflation.
