Lacazette is a big threat to us scoring

iamoyindamola:
Be like thunder wan fire William early momo

I just dey vex for Here. I don't understand what he's doing at all

iamoyindamola:
Since no creativity

Honestly I don't think Arteta is a fan of creativity,free flowing football and all. He's so much unlike Guardiola , he’s not interested in possession football and all that flair game.

Jodera:
I no wan see pepe for there sha.

Lacazette sef na another case.
Hoping for the best tho

Nelson should've taken Pepe's spot on the bench sef.

E be like say google Don change the formation again Jàre.

Jodera:
seeing that forward line makes me scratching me head.

Hope they turn up today

That's the best we put out there in the forward department, except u won't mind seeing Pepe taking Willian's place trying so hard to beat one marker all tru the game.

I hope to see Lacazette not falling at every challenge sha

I hope Holding partners well with Gabriel o

I don't blame the military, I blame the puppet Sanwoolu who foolishly gave the army the chance to unleash terror on his people.

Sanwoolu invited the army, they shot at armless protesters and now he expects the army to come and start telling tales in front of a panel he constituted......smh.

That guy Sanwoolu is not even fit to be a local government councillor

gensteejay:
Oga Ibime, Nihilist, Afrodoc, and the other guys overseas, please stay safe.

As an aside, Premium Times did well in this reportage: Untold Story of what happened at Lekki Toll Gate
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/423823-investigation-bullets-blood-death-untold-story-of-what-happened-at-lekki-toll-gate.html

God will surely punish Sanwoolu and his household

mostob:
Don't conclude yet. He might be the one not confident to shoot again. Infact,his signatory long passes have reduced lately.

Funny enough he played really well at the back this last Europa league game. He was the one that was primarily starting our attack from the back before Pepe spoils it over and over again.

Maybe it was because we played a fairly unknown team, but still Xhaka impressed at the back that day

A40:
They are the real looters. If we don't address and start punishment from thieves like Obasa that is diverting #500m per day then what moral right do they have to call anyone looters and hoodlums

That's why I never took anything said by Desmond and the rest of the Ediots in the house serious. It afterall the education they have including that woman who claimed she schooled in the UK they all Sat down and allow a serial looters like Obasa to continually preside over them, then there's nothing they will say I will take serious.

They are worse than the people going to break into people's homes and business premises carting away valuable items.

A40:
Lool abeg leave people to believe wetin dem wan believe. Nigerian Army will go somewhere just to shoot in the air

Baba the matter tire person.

Some people even claim it's espionage that Amnesty international claim they have footage of soldiers leaving bonny camp and heading towards to toll gate prior to the shootings.

Can u imagine how that sounds in this age and time where people have cameras here and there taking shots/making videos of things happening in an instant?

It is well sha. We go all dey alright las Las

This is exactly how some of these FG/Sanwoolu apologists will mess up if u put a camera to their faces with all their theories flying here and there

Here is another Naija guy, correct Jand guy like Ibime claiming bodies were being thrown into the truck by soldiers

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CG-AdXsgHQQ/?igshid=fnt4nr55v0fw

I've been trying not to get drawn into this ongoing discussion, but well I couldn't resist. As regards the lootings, wanton destructions and other social vices that became fallout of the lekki shootings, here are my own personal opinion:

1. While it is factually true that pocket of violence started even before the lekki shootings ( like the alleged prison break in Benin and the burning of orile police station), it is important to state that these destructions could've been curtailed if we had a proactive government. It was alleged the police in Orile shot at one of the protesters who unfortunately has a link with the NURTW guys who have been known to be responsible for violence in Lagos over the years.

2. One would've thought a proactive government would've investigated this matter and immediately announce efforts are being put in place to fish out the alleged killer cop and also bring the arsonist who set the police station ablaze. The conspiracy of silence that has characterized this goverment did not help matters as it only sends out a message to the people that anybody can do anything they want and get away with it.The government of the day cares less.

3. Now the government could've deployed the military to the streets of Benin, orile, Ajeromi ìfẹ́lodun and other areas where there were pockets of violence prior to the lekki shooting; the government decided against this, rather they gaffed and thought in their infinite wisdom that once they use every means possible to disperse the more organized protesters at Lekki toll gate, normalcy will return to the entire nation because the lekki and alausa protesters are the model which every other protest in other parts of the country gather morale from.

4. We all know how the use of force on the protesters at the toll gate turned out, I won't dwell much on that but move on straight to the violence, looting and destruction that followed afterwards.

5. In all sincerity u can't rule out the fact that some of the looters were once protesters a day or two before, neither can u rule it out that some of the protesters organized hoodlums to teach some of the powers that be lessons ( at least some of the TVC staff on ground when it was burned down attested to the fact that those who came for TVC spoke fluent English and they sounded it loud and clear " We are not hear to kill, we are just here to destroy " )

I am not in any way supporting the violence that has caused more harm than good, but one needs to understand the anger that would be raging in those guy's mind against the person of Tinubu when they think about how the cameras at the toll were allegedly taken out, the power to billboard that is controlled by his son was switched off and how Tinubu himself had called for them to leave the toll gate a few days earlier. All these thoughts alone are enough to spark a civil war even without social media in place to amplify things.

6. Now talking about the lootings and destructions in various parts of Nigeria particularly Lagos, I saw it and I cringed at how humanity has been taken away from people and replaced with a desire to destroy. My office building was also affected, a lot of businesses were affected, computer systems carted away, people's sweat wiped out and all these is on the Lagos state government led by Babajide Sanwoolu.

7. Sanwoolu was complicit in declaring a curfew that led to the leeki shootings, he was majorly at fault to also have declared a curfew that mandated people to stay in their homes while their businesses were left unattended to. As at the time Sanwoolu declared curfew, he had a police force that were trying to pull off their uniforms and mingle with the crowd, he had soldiers whose primary duty was to attack peaceful protesters and deny they were there. Sanwoolu was a governor with no responsive security apparatus under his control.

He set in motion a chain of events that has spiraled into a monster he couldn't handle even if he wanted to.

8. Have u ever wondered why sanwoolu has refused to take responsibility for the shooting even when everybody including the army that carried out the shooting are pointing at him? It's simple ; he knows immediately he does lawsuits will start flying in from various business owners and property owners that have lost millions following the government's action. I've seen people ignorantly claiming insurance will pay for those who have their properties insured, but they fail to understand that loss as a result of Strike, Riot and Civil Commotion are general exclusions on insurance. Why? Because loss as a result of such actions are classified as fundamental Risks which affect a large population and if insurance companies try to settle majority of such claims they will be overwhelmed and go under.

9. I watched a CCTV footage of one of the looted premises and I saw women with babies on their backs, young men who don't look like touts also joining in the looting. This points out that Nigerians have come to accept crime as a means to survive and don't care whose Ox is gored having being impoverished for so long that they've lost all forms of Humanity and wouldn't care if someone else's means of livelihood is wiped out in their quest to getting something to put in their belly. I will blame everyone that has been in government since independence for this, the politicians that have weaponsied poverty, that have constantly make it a duty to commission projects like public toilet, cutting ribbon over a wooden bridge across a canal and the Ediots that make people show their PVC and who they are voting for at the polling unit and get money for it.

10. Lastly, I think we should do our best as individuals to re-orientate the the people round us that violence does nobody no good. Yes we can always embarrass our local politicians by booing them, by commissioning the bad roads in our community in their behalf and other forms of sending messages to them. As for Ediots like Desomd and his ilks we can always show their double faced nature to the world by dragging them online and going as far and doing a blast from the past for them. Let's shun violence like the lekki protesters did till the evil government machinery hijacked it all.

Those in government on the other hand should be having sleepless night by now thinking of how to reduce the level of poverty in the land because I'd they don't, there's no amount of orientation we can pass on to people who are angry and hungry, such level of destruction and looting borne out of anger about the system will still occur in the future if care is not taken.


Just my 2 cents

Android17:
Just like that day and today, I was interacting with intelligent people, not you. I mistook you for one but after your reply, you confirmed my suspicions. If you noticed, the person I interacted with agreed with me so there was no need to beat a dead horse. That is why this your maldiniesque response will only pull wool over the eyes of other foolish people. You cannot wake someone up who is pretending to be asleep.

Look at this slowpoke who thinks people just wake up one morning and decide to claim someone else's dead son as theirs talking about intelligence

Weyrey detective Fashlock Holmes say " you confirmed my suspicions. I can imagine u presently wearing a face mask, pacing around your room with hands behind your back thinking of how to reply. Alagba rest and keep the rest of Ur stupidity to urself, from day one I've shown you I'm buying none of it.

Android17:
And brought a fake woman to confirm a fake story and still did not have the gumption to come back here to retract the fake story.

I chose to ignore the person u quoted because I have a prerogative to reply anyone I wish to. Well I will be replying to Ur own post; it's Ur lucky day

Today is 30th October 2020 exactly 5 days after u claimed "This woman is not this boy's mother ". When u were probed further as to how u arrived at that conclusion you further claimed " I did some digging, the woman is a bad actor "

As u continued to maintain the woman is not the boy's mother, she's a bad actor...blah.blah...black sheep....One would think the next time u will be posting here u will be flashing the result of Ur Detective 'Fashlock Holmes' forensic evidence proving the boy's death has nothing to do with the protest or the woman was a former lead actress in 'Fuji house of commotion'....But here u are again chatting Ur normal shiiit.

One question for u : Are you always this full of shiiit like DMT mobile toilet?

Segedinho:
They are not in the position to talk abt looting without addressing the hardship.


Like i pointed out b4 looting is extremely bad; the truth must be said.

Those Hons should not talk abt looting cos they are the oga kpatakpata of looting industries.

How do u justify it even when the security personnel were seen picking one or two.

They should address the causes systrmatically b4 talking abt looting.


A looter cant just wake up and start calling almost every Nigerians names.


There are ways of expressions wch will not be seen as insults.

None of them addressed the hardships and possibly cause of this "lootings"

Imagine Desmond spoke extensively on rates of hungers,hikes in commodity and end up with looting is extremely bad and the perpetrators be fished out and dealt with.

Do u think he would be insulted for such...

People are hungry,peole are suffering,things are getting out of hand,,they need hope,... they need words,...they need positive advices...,they need the way forward and one foooool is saying they are high on cheap drugs


Comon...

Baba no dey worry urself Jàre.

All those Ediots in Lagos state house of assembly ( Desmond included) Sat down and passed a vote of confidence in Mudashiru Obasa despite the numerous financial misappropriation allegations against him ( NOTE: Obasa's level of looting has already reached God Mode level).

Yes looting is a crime. Those who looted people 's shops and businesses are criminals,but so also is Obasa and every of those Ediots that continue sit in that house cheering on their looting-speaker on.

Pepe no fit dribble beat just one man ------- Arsenal needs AM

Pepe play corner hit side net ---- Arsenal needs AM

Pepe no fit successfully initiate a counterattack ----- Arsenal needs AM


Now that it has been established that the solution to every of Pepe's problem is arsenal getting AM, we will patiently wait and see his gamplay when the AM finally arrives

[color=royalblue]I mean, I do not understand how critically we need to think again

Firstly, the NA Twitter handle labelled all the videos showing the Army there as fake

Then a spokesperson from the NA said all were photoshopped, meaning it's still fake

Another then came out and said the governor was aware that they were coming to disperse the protesters

And then now, it was blanks they fired

If it was truly blanks, why did people have bullet wounds?

So, it's evidently clear that the protesters obviously shot themselves...[/color]

My brother, I'm afraid the Govt has succeeded in achieving what they set out to do from the onset; push our as many false info and half truths as they can to distort facts and start making people doubt what they know to be true.

Imagine almost everyone is coming up with one theory or the other from saying the shooting never happened to no shot fired to kill and now blank shots were fired.

I will not lie to u, even me sef Don tire. For my mental health I've stopped talking about the whole incident cos it irks seeing the level of insensitivity being displayed by the military, state and federal Govt and the people actively involved in their gaslighting

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I thought so too

Until I saw Protesters with bullet wounds: The hospital, governor and other videos confirmed it

It's possible the army came with blanks, but the protesters shot themselves with live bullets..That's still a possibility[/color]

Somebody give this man "Detective Fashola's Gold star" for solving this great puzzle.

Pepe weyrey finally scores.

Well I'm still not impressed

Thunder fire pepe!

Willock makes it 2-0

Pepe is a bástar.d . Just look at the rubbish corner he played for 4ck sake

mostob:
Mustafi and Kola in defence? chai! Look like Runnarson will undergoes baptism of fire.
Nelson starts, BALOGUN on the bench....I love this.

I'm mentally prepared for whatever resukt comes out of this match. We have just 2 fit centre backs ( mustafi and Gabriel) going into the match. I understand Arteta not wanting to risk both going into a tough EPL game in 3 days time.

Y'all want Runnerson in goal, there u have it.

thorrvik55:
If he did not lock his account ehn, the comment section would have been a fun place to be

Don't mind the Ediot......I'm sure the dragging they gave him on Twitter already got to him hence the apology. Imagine someone as enlightened as him not being able to discern peaceful protesters from the same hoodlums himself, the speaker and their other cronies used in winning elections for themselves.

I just hate the fact that they are lumping everyone together when they know the truth within themselves. Instead of calling out those who did everything possible to truncate the peaceful protests, they are busy chatting shiiit. Desmond is one big disppaointment to the youth.

Himself and Yahya Bello of Kogi are very dangerous examples of "the youths are not ready to take political leadership "

thorrvik55:
Desmond Elliot after small dragging on Twitter:

He still remains his humble self; Desmond Ediot.

*Local man enters thread......* sees people still moaning about the situation of their dearly beloved Ozil and the sale of their country man Iwobi*

* Local man looks left and right.....and he moves!*

Long post alert!

Well done! You are doing well
