Oga, those were not hoodlums, they are BOYS u did not settle WELL, stop blaming hoodlums, did the hoodlums knew u had 650,000 thousand naria in your car, THINK SIR ABEG, u are a old man

Very wrong comment.

Are you a hoodlum? You appear to understand their mode of operation very well. Do hoodlums need to know that you have money in your car before attacking you?

Have you ever wondered why movie actors changed location from Lagos to other cities? For your information areas boys made it their point of duty to harrass, intimidate and viciously extort them. Why do the big Fuji musicians and other musical giants watch before they move around for shows? Hoodlums never let them move around freely.

And for your information they need the cash in the car to sort out areas boys in the event that they block them somewhere.

You truly are the one who needs to do the thinking and offer you apology for your unsympathetic comment.

vanbonattel:
The army caused this. Why did they provoke peaceful protesters by shooting them.

Na that army for meet you to give you well organised slap so you eyes go clear well. See your head like bitter kola.

zangaozanga:
Always from the east of the Niger can such a thing happen in this times of national protest, selling kids is their culture there.

Better that those from your side of the national divide who are synonymous with killing adults and using children for ritual sacrifices to get rich quick. Do not forget that national events do not hinder their favourite hobby.

After the Endsars wahala, looters, vandals, thugs and warehouse breakers have given the police the opportunity to return the same "sacked" Fsars officials to the roads using some other names. Before this nation descends into total anarchy, the same police people are needed to deal with the looters.

These irresponsible elements have apparently succeeded in making the efforts of the genuine protesters seem worthless.

Do not forget that Fsars personnel have been trained to deal with robbery cases. As long as they have not been sacked from the police service or decommissioned, they will be used in cases like this. With the level of looting going on, the police commanders very likely will deploy the same men.

Judging by the actions of the protesters against them and the destructions of some police stations, one can easily guess that the police people may look to exert their pounds of flesh.

Please good people just stay safe as much as you can.

DesChyko:
Nope bro.
Any video that has a protester in it is photoshopped.

How does that sound?

Why deny the truth in clear evidence? We got report that a woman and her daughter were shot dead right inside Twinsfaja supermarket in Ikotun axis where the went to loot. In Cross rivers state we saw women running towards the warehouse holding palliatives. What about Ilorin? Did you not see that? Can you call women wearing hijab and running away from a warehouse an ordinary protester? Please shine your eyes well when you look at the videos, except you just want to be mischievious.

juman:
The police must repossess back the security system of the country.
Enough of anarchy.

How? After disarming them? Dehumanising the decent among them? Embarrassing them? Setting kidnappers and armed robbers free after all the wahala to arrest and prosecute? Imagine if the likes of Evans were released from the prisons in Benin? Or if Evans himself and his group members were set free in kirikiri?

The real security anarchy will unfold gradually bro. Dark days lie ahead. Let's all be very cautious.

Omoslim26:
You sound almost like the person I can perceive hate even from here in your comment
why not address the useless person directly like I did

you kept using they they they

nawa oo dis nairaland don almost dey tire person na so so Hate and more tribal haters don overtake dis forum

Maybe you have not taken your time to read the comments posted here by some people. Do they ever address individuals? Their insults are mostly generalised, abusing and threatening the Igbos as a whole.

Certainly tribal haters have taken over and they have made only the Igbos their targets. We read of the fight between the Hausas and Fulanis in Fagba area and some irresponsible youths have come here to attribute it to the Igbos. Of all those who lost the goods in their warehouses in Lagos the Igbos have lost more.

You must stop picking on the Igbos as they have done nothing wrong living in the southwest and happily associating.

LegendAnselm:
u be complete mumu
..ur brain have been fingered

Your poor English already gave you away as a potential hooligan and a looter.

Unfortunately people like you do not get to the level such achievers strive to attain.

Maybe ethnic jingoists will tell us that the staff was stolen by Igbos and taken to the east, since they claim that the Igbos are their only problem.

Omoslim26:
And so KANU also asked that criminal to also wear the obas shoe and also influenced osaro to wear the dpo clothe in Bini

its a shame dat you guys can't reason beyond tribalism there was carnage and arson by Southern Criminals all over other states Delta Abia Rivers Ondo IMO Osun Anambra etc but ofcus you have sworn to always carry tribal hate and frustration you inclined dis to tribe

shame on you for claiming to be Yoruba the omooluabis I know can never reason dis LOW

They are very self centered, blinded by their foolishness, bewitched, jealous, envious, myopic and completely ignorant.

Their foolishness has made them ignore news about the carnage in the SE and SS. Properties worth billions of naira and lives were lost in the SE and SS. To them life starts and ends in the SW. Their foolishness will never let them venture out of the immediate environment, thereby limiting their exposure.

alfredilly:
It's not about Yemi Adamolekun but those feeding him the lies. His only undoing is failure to see the conspiracy in all this. I can never fall for any of this considering my level of consciousness. Even from the onset, I was already have my scepticism. I knew some of the video were hoax, like the soldiers shooting hystericallly. Most of the dead body video has now been revealed as fake

It is about hypocrites who have deliberately distorted the truth by accusing the Igbos of instigating the destruction. The immediate cause of this endsars protest originated in Delta state. Public personalities added their voices to it in Lagos and the wildfire spread causing massive destructions in the SS, SW and SE.

Irrespective of what finally happened in Lekki, Yemi Adamolekun appeared to own up to the error he made with his NGO? Is he an Igbo person?

Hopefully ignorance and wickedness should not continue to rule the lives of some of our citizens in the SW.

Unfortunately for the foolish rampaging hoodlums, contracts will be awarded to rebuild the public properties destroyed. The contracts will still go to the rich, thus making them richer. The so called poor and oppressed will pay taxes; their children will pay charges to get back to school; cost of food will go higher; landlords will increase their rents to meet present realities; crime will increase as they have burnt police stations; many hoodlums will pay with their lives as police will not allow them get away with their crimes; the innocent in the society will be made to suffer too.

Do you know that in the end officers of Endsars who they have agigated to remove will be smoothly eased into the system? They are trained to handle arms and fight armed robbers and no one can truly get them off the streets until they are either retired or killed on active duty!

Commentor:
IPOB, shebi you lost your brothers and sisters at the toll plaza.

Why not display their details?


Liars incorporated.

Almost 3 days and no one has opened a thread to say this is my brother or sister I lost.

God would punish all of you.

Very irresponsible and unguarded comment.
Why have you chosen the Igbos for your nonsense remark? Are we talking about just one section of the nation losing their people or the entire nation lamenting losses well orchestrated by your brother Yoruba man, Yemi Adamolekun?

How many Yorubas own electronics shops in Lagos? If not for your myopia you'll find that those who have suffered the greatest economic loss are the Igbos. Maybe you did not see the thugs carting away fridges, a/cs, standing gas cookers, laptops, etc from shops across Lagos. Maybe you do not know that a lot of these business people took out loans to stock their shops. For those who do not hold insurance, will you get out finances to them?

While you are waiting there in your room for people to open threads, why not get enough airtime to make calls and find out what's going on? You cannot hear of the uncountable people who have lost their lives because of your shortsightedness and inability to ask questions.

Yemi Adamolekun is an Igbo name...right? Maybe you did not read how he apologized for sending the wrong information that led to the destruction.

To slap you dey hungry me. Your head like walnut.

Whiteangel1234:
nah Igbos looting it all this are political games una go beg for police and SARS protection by force

What a foolish and childish comment. Your eyes have been closed from birth by those who should have trained you properly.

If you had taken a careful look, you would have seen that the warehouse looted belongs to an Igbo man. That area is an Awori owned area and the Igbos within and around there have not been allowed to venture close to their shops and warehouses.

To give you very good slap dey hungry me. Mumu.

We've just heard Femi Adesina giving us a long lecture on hatred and how it can destroy our country.

When certain parties fused together to form the APC, the intention was to wrest political power from the PDP. APC preyed on the general mood of the nation and swept to power. From all the promises made by APC we all believed and saw a party ready to move Nigeria to the land flowing with milk and honey. The campaign mantra was "Change".

What Femi Adesina and his group instilled in the subconscious of the people then with "change" was HATRED for GEJ and the PDP. Looking at the manner the Saraki dynasty was destroyed in Kwara state can one not say that the people of Kwara were instigated against the Saraki family? The major tool applied by APC in the otoge movement was HATRED. The people so hated the Sarakis and were more than willing to go the extra distance in destroying them.

While Femi Adesina and his cohorts drank the wine of victory they forgot that Nigerians were getting tired of bewitchment, bad policies, policy sommersaults, police brutality, forced hardships, calling the youths lazy, etc. They forgot that there would be a day of reckoning.

Wickedly this government shut the borders over a year ago, forcing the price of rice to more than double in one year. How do they expect, in their myopia, people whose salaries are less than 50,000 a month to purchase bags of rice worth 30,000? The people are saying otoge to this government and its wickedness.

Nigerians never had it so bad even during the bashed period of PDP. Femi Adesina and his people taught us hatred for the PDP and the ruling class then. They taught us how to not sit and watch ourselves suffer to the extent we have in the last 5 years. Today the broom they gave us is being used against them.

Today the youths have risen to say they are not lazy. Today the elderly have said enough to the hardship in the land. Today the thugs they employ to hijack ballot boxes and fight #Ensars protesters have turned against them to destroy their homes and businesses.

GEJ never muzzled the press of opposition. If he did, APC would not be in power today. Now if you talk about a governor, the president or a minister, you risk going to jail.

APC taught us how to hate. They should cope with it. What goes around comes around.

MOLOTOVcockTAIL:
Shey na for the masses ... The masses has rightfully received it. We should all be happy It got to the poor and hungry as intended. Case closed.

Can you list one King's house that was attacked in the East? Also mention one TV station in the east that was attacked? Just one pls and also mention one Politican house that was also attacked in the past 2 weeks (In the east)

And to you the Igbos attacked the Oba's palace and took away his staff and hidden palliatives?

The Igbos started #endsars in the east and passed it to the Southwest.

To you John Nwafor is a Yoruba name?

As of now looting of shops has started by area boys. The Igbos own most of the electronics shops. Electronics in millions are getting looted by the same Igbos abi?

Tribalism will land you in bad territory.

Falz, Yesufu, etc are Igbos abi?

Think before you talk please.

Please reason appropriately OP.

You have written a list of properties which destructions, according to your words, were instigated by non Yorubas. Please answer the following questions:

1. Have you taken your time to list the properties destroyed in non Yoruba states?

2. Would a non Yoruba dare invade the palace of the Oba of Lagos and run away publicly with his staff of office?

3. Do you think non Yorubas would dare invade the palace of the Oba to cart away palliatives meant for the Yorubas in a Yoruba state dominated by a Yoruba sponsored party?

4. Why would some of you choose all the time to tribalise such painful national issues like this?

5. Those who lost their lives and properties in other states are not Nigerians?

6. When did NPA become part of "Yoruba heritage"?

7. Was it wrong or inappropriate for the FG to get seaports outside Lagos to start working?

8. Is the press not largely dominated by Yorubas? To that extent who has been spreading the news?

9. When will you come out of your deep hatred for non Yorubas?

10. Do you know that Yorubas who reside in non Yoruba states never want to return to their lands? They speak the languages, joyfully cook and eat their food (actually preferring them) and intermarry.

Please respond to the questions.

Bros you are a very wicked man as I see am. You sef na confirmed wizard. I no fit laugh finish for your comment.

omoelesa:
Lol,the ibos which are perpentual failure, when it comes to politics in naija, is now lecturing the yorubas which are known for their political sophistication.u better turn your lecturing to the SE that has never produced the nigeria president.nonsense

"perpentual". You cannot write simple English words correctly. Even the tenses, you cannot write well. Olodo ni e!

Rareoil:
How did we come up with this type of leaders.

Through propaganda, selling your rights, getting bewitched with false promises and voting APC!

Imortal001:
I wipe for this country！Nigeria killing nigeria！

"Wipe" keh? You speak this English well so?

Every society has laws in place that help to protect that society. The police are in charge of protection and security as dictated by the laws of the land.

Over the years the Nigerian police has evolved. Many years ago the fear of a policeman was the beginning of wisdom for many. Policemen wore their tops and shorts with/without shoes, carried batons and were well respected. Those whose fathers and grandfathers were police personnel have a lot of stories to tell about how their fathers carried themselves modestly and were respected. Bribes were not demanded and jobs were well done.

Our police has been taken over by certain men and women who see their uniforms as personal shops where they make their daily incomes. The semi educated among them interprete laws to suit their own purposes. We hear policemen referring to decent people as "miscreants". Among the police people you find alchoholics and drug users. How can such people refer to decent people as miscreants? In this covid19 period, we have seen police personnel without face protection arresting people without face protection for violating the order.

Some of our officers have disgraced the image of the police beyond redemption. We have even seen policemen getting beaten up by soldiers because of the activities of the irresponsible ones among them.

As it stands, with no dignity left anymore, can the police go out to effect arrests without the fear of attacks? Truly they have lost their respect.

jojomario:
Make una no bring this on in. They are all birds of feathers. They just have different clothing.

A well educated, young and vibrant president like GEJ and baba are birds of the same feather? Come o, take your time there.

When in 2014 certain powerful Nigerian politicians woke up to resist GEJ and preyed on gullible Nigerians deceiving them that GEJ was the problem of the nation, none of them envisaged such a situation as we have experienced since 2015.

Various deceptive promises were made and our youths took it upon themselves to ensure with the APC broom that GEJ was swept out of power. Nigerians at every policy sommersault of this government have been told that PDP brought us to this point and unfortunately in their bewitched mood have believed every word and yet have kept voting APC. We have never experienced increase in fuel rates and electricity tariffs in one day. It happened under this government in a year when other countries are struggling to ease the economic hardships their people have faced.

Last night at Lekki showed the hypocrisy, pretences and the true character of intolerance of our government with the violent killing of innocent citizens.

Before they took over power this government instigated and incited the citizens against GEJ and got away with it. Today that same measure with which they measured against GEJ has been meted out to them and they tell us that "no responsible government can fold its arms and watch". We clearly remember that GEJ folded his arms and watched while the present leadership turned the nation upside down protesting against corruption and hardship during the GEJ years.

Under this present government we have been termed the poverty capital of the world. Right under their noses life has become very hard, ruthless and unbearable. Our youths have been termed "lazy". Now they have chosen to take their destinies in their hands and the repayment for voting APC is intolerance and killing.

To some of our youths it is shame on you for continously voting these people to lead. Democracy gives us the opportunity to review leaderships and effect changes where neccesary using our votes. A lot of our foolish youths have mortgaged their rights and consciences by receiving pittances from those greedy politicians and voting in their favour. Today potentially innocent youths have been murdered because of the shortsightedness and stupidity of some of our youths. The irresponsible thugs that decent youths are out there fighting for are the same used by politicians to snatch ballot boxes and perpetuate themselves in power. Shame on them all. They are the same ones who rather than simply carry placards have been burning down police stations and prison yards to free their criminal friends.

The old politicians have told us that power is not given on a platter of gold. They tell us stories of how as youths they fought to get where they are presently. Our once peaceful youths now are demanding for true change and not the fake one promised before 2015. Now we can see our youths out there fighting for that power which we were told would not come on a platter of gold. Government has sent soldiers to kill them. What a government!

Across this nation we hear and see our youths asking for change. The government is challenged with boko haram and herdsmen. Will the government be able to take on the youths too? We now see the rest of the world showing interest in the situation.

APC what have we done wrong?

In the last 5 years Nigerians have suffered so much in their own country. While the politicians get richer and more powerful and daring, they tell Nigerians that all is well and Nigeria will get better. We have experienced policy sommersaults and accompanying hardships. Rice for example was at #8000 when this leadership came on board. In august 2019 we were told that smugglers were our problems and the borders needed to be shut down for a while. One year and two months gone so far and rice now sells at between 30,000 and 34,000 a bag. Prices of essentials have gone beyond control making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.

Our youths were called lazy while we all know that jobs are very hard to come by. A hungry man they say is an angry man. Everyone is affected by this hardship in the land. Our government has appeared like nothing moves it. We witnessed many youths getting killed or permanently injured by security agents and not only Fsars men.. With no choice anymore our youths have decided to make the take their destinies in their hands. Who can stop determined youths?

Now we are graduating from #Endsars to #Endbadgovernment.

Government as it stands is not able to contain bokoharam. Government is not able to contain killer herdsmen. And now our youths are fighting back all over the nation. Some are even destroying public property presently. Can our youths be stopped?

As it stands I want to ask if this government never buy market so?

Jack005:
What if they defy the curfew and the number of people protesting are very high? How do you disperse such huge crowd? By the way, the protest should be aligning towards ending bad government.

Government will use soldiers armed with guns. Sebi we say no to police? Now soldiers go appear. Crime too go increase. Protests that should not exceed three days was taken over by greedy youths too who started to make billions out of it.

Benin people are stubborn people.

Stubborness in the face of soldiers armed with guns? And we are talking about aboki soldiers here who feel that the power the north presently enjoys is threatened.

In the face of guns, our protesters turn to chickens!
