Emotionss:
What I don't understand is why you people are dragging the igbos in all this.

The unrest affected the igbos as much as it affected other tribes.

boyjo:
Liars!
Thieves were also crucified that day and even before that day.
Cruxifition was their normal way of killing criminals years before that day.

Scripture declares that not one of HIS bones were broken.
Scriptures cannot be broken you Liars

John 19:36
These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken,"

Emoney07:
really

Oshigun:
Just shut up and mind your Edo business. You are nothing but a cultists and a thug. Imagine glorifying the setting free of prisoners to include those awaiting execution.

You are a nonentity so clear off and stop the shameless attention-seeking. Your inferiority complex against the Yoruba reeks through your writing and pain. Get lost.

tsdarkside:
wtf are you talking about....??

wtf is a bso....

3. International communities, please mind your business and face your own country
4. Mentioned list of his government's initiatives for the youths
5. Please go about your normal businesses
6. We will not tolerate any further nonsense.
NB : Its a subtle speech laden with threat.

God bless Nigeria

Amarabae:
Oriaku Amara is back
I will keep it short and simple,
I am sick and tired of seeing an Igbo guy opening a thread on stuff like "South east don't need south south in Biafra"
"what international law say about inland water bodies"
"south east,south south bla bla bla"
I feel ashamed reading all these crap threads, sometimes it is borne out of emotionalism.
Ipobs fanatics, stop disgracing Igbos here,
if you are from south east,focus on south east and leave south south alone, it attracts respect.
I am a product of south east and south south by birth and marriage ,and I believe that good fences will make good neighbors out of the two zones,
The Yoruba's were with the bendel people in the western region yet I don't see them screaming SW/SS up and down.
Old eastern region is gone forever,
south east can stand on it's own
the same way south south can stand on her own.
drop ur siege mentality and stop embarrassing Igbos.
I feel irritated seeing Igbo youths dragging Igbo name in the mud by arguing with these minorities, making their head swell up,
its shameful .
yes there are Igboid groups in south south ,but if you are not from these groups, then stop carrying their matter for head,

Respect yourselves and stop belittling yourselves.

Charleys:
Don't be dismayed.

eagleu:
The attempt to paint a picture of Lagos being the only city affected by the violence is a tactic to incite Yorubas against the Igbos and vice versa. Some people could read the hand writing, but some can't.

Asquare84:
Jobles youth

secretkiller:
Don't be scared just remain indoor. Allow us settle our scores with government. We are resetting this country.

eagleu:
Use your brain!

eagleu:
Don't forget to mention properties and building damaged in Benin, Onitsha, Enugu, and PH.

Making it look like Nigeria revolves around Tinubu is simply sowing discord to make situation worse.

The western state is currently undergoing a session of surgical operation and currently struggling to breathe.

The last 13 days have seen episodes of political engagements and calculation at the expense of innocent lives.



What started as a peaceful protest against the oppression, intimidation, and brutality of Nigeria Police Force, in one fell swoop, metamorphosed into a regional infraction, hijacked, remolded, and positioned to be a weapon in itself against the south, which hitherto, only wanted justice.



We all saw the genuineness, and plights of Rinu, Debo, Falz, and the rest of the cadres, we supported, took to the streets of Lagos and occupy major states in the south, to demand what is rightfully ours; Our rights to life. Demands were made and meetings reportedly commenced.



Fast forward to 20-10-20. It was the 12th day of protest. The cabals, which were supposed to deliver the plights of the people, were busily understudying who is sponsoring the genuine protest.



This is how low we have sunk. The government failed the people. It failed to carry out its natural mandate of securing lives and property, yet believes that a genuine call for good governance has a political undertone. "After all, Nigerian youths are too lazy to think or coordinate themselves to sustain a protest for that long".



12 days and protesters lack almost nothing. They were organized, coordinated, composed, and collected. This formidability was strange to the cabals. Someone must be behind this. Thus, all fingers point to Asiwaju.



Asiwaju, who bowed to pressure, after a long silence, took to Twitter in the early hours of that day to call for peace and encouraged the government to, as a matter of urgency fashion our a workable modality to save the country from imminent crisis. Sadly, that was the premise the traducers were waiting for. Unknown soldiers, by the directive of an unknown authority, moved tanks to the peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll gate and offload rounds of bullets on harmless protesters, killing the same people they swore to protect.

A few crops of directionless tout took to the streets, in a deliberate move to thwart the protest which was of course overdue for the next phases; retreat and reassessment, they took charge of remote corners of Lagos and vandalize public properties.


Please note that the aforesaid public properties were businesses that were believed to belong to Asiwaju, with which, in their perception, he controls the south. The list of vandalized businesses would include the LCC, Oriental Hotel, LASEMA trucks, Television Continental, The Nation and many establishments with over twenty thousand staff strength; all in Lagos.


This may be seen as a conspiracy theory, but the dots are fitting. Asiwaju has been unarguably the pillar of Yoruba’s long-standing political ground. Hate him or love him, he’s been able to contribute hugely to the affairs at the central and have maintained a strong negotiating position at the center. Unconfirmed insinuations hold that he may have the interest run for presidency come 2020, a contest which he is entitled to by every right. His deafening silence over the matter has left the opposition and internal forces confuse. He cannot be predicted.



Asiwaju’s political grandiose is no doubt, a threat to any region. A man who had at every historical junction built political parties from the scratch and competes with the bigger party yet remained afloat for over 20 years. A man who identifies brilliant minds and raise them to become influencers in various political and economic sectors. A man who brought Buhari from political oblivion and make him the number one citizen of the country, after three failed attempts.



I sincerely feel sorry for those who gloat over the vandalization and destruction of Lagos state properties. We have been had, the 5th columnist took our anger against insecurity and used it against us. we became a pawn in a bigger scheme and lives were lost. They redirected our focus from #EndSARS to #EndLagos.




Asiwaju is our own, whether APC, PDP, ADP, and whatever Ps we may identify with. We are southerners, and Asiwaju is our soldier. Let’s not allow this “remoting” to continue.. This is the time to speak out and identify the traducers amongst us. we are better than this.

How can jailbreaks happen in Lagos and Ondo at the same time, just a couple of days after Edo State? How do we explain the coordination?

The plot is to make Lagos ungovernable and therefore declaring a state of emergency.




If Buhari declares a state of Emergency by tonight or tomorrow an Administrator will be appointed to replace Sanwo-Olu.



All these storming the prisons and killing people and burning public buildings is to lay a basis for a state of Emergency.



Our center of excellence may be controlled by a military administration for the rest of Buhari’s term, probably by a general from Kano or Kaduna. 2023 is a long time..



Once we lose our political figure.. We lose our negotiating strength at the center.



We have been had.
