Ur lord and saviour namadi KANU, who was spreading hate against the northerners, after realizing that northerners and half cast Jews from the republic of potopoto are not mate, he quickly made a u turn saying he is not against northerners but Fulani. As far Igbo exit in Nigeria, second class citizen is your calling...

First class citizen, hope you are faring better than second class citizens

Pack of lies.


Why didn't the biafrans try to foster partnerships with other nations?

The same france,china you mentioned were supporting you, isreal also.

Where is biafra today? Gone like the wind, they were defeated by nigerian troops.

Stop thinking about the past, you can't change it, you were defeated like a conquered nation, here you are in Nigeria.

Biafra was defeated yes. It happens in every war. Loser and winner. But how is Nigeria faring since war?
Hope you are enjoying it.

Stop spreading lies.

Even before the almagamation of Nigeria, the various tribes did had their own army that enforced law and orders and also fight off invading forces.

This same logic also applies to Nigeria.

You are still applying the same lack of foresight by your politicians to the debate.

As we say THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANS....no matter what you think, the end is what matters.

Influence is everything, the person with the most influence will control the situation, if there are 5 southern s and 4 Northerners in the army , the 5 southerners will influence any situation in the army.

You guts can keep complaining while northern strategists with lot of foresight win the day.

He is telling the truth . Nigeria got independent in 1960 but security agents and leaders are yet to be independent from colonial mentality.

Nwodosis:
Nigeria police love soft targets!

Of course.
If 1000 protesters are armed with Ak 47, grenades , and anti-tank weapons , government will be forced to negotiate with them.
Massive uprisings against government will consume security agents in 72 hours. It would be anarchy. Majority of security agents have low IQ, they do not know how to manage orders from their superiors.

I Woke up this morning to news of disturbing scenes at the Federal University Lokoja, one of the six new Federal Universities built from scratch by the Goodluck Administration.

Poster and banners of the outgoing Vice chancellor Prof Angela Miri with unprintable words saturated the scenes while workers armed with brooms and trumpets sang and danced while sweeping her footprints from the University's premesis.

While watching these unbelievable scenes my mind quickly flashed back to a contrasting scene few years back when another vice chancellor was leaving the same seat at the same University.

That vice chancellor was Professor Abdulmumini Hassan Rafindadi a professor of pathology, with interest in cervical cancer prostate cancer and medicolegal medicine and the pioneer vice chancellor of Federal University, Lokoja, a post he held until February 2016 at the end of his 5-year term.

Those who knew him say he was an administrator with a difference, a man who knew how to manage people and institutions.  According reports his remarkable transformation of virgin land into a beautiful and amiable institution with meager resources, within 5 years left many wondering as to how he was able to achieve such feat


Staff weep as he vacates office

In what appeared to be the first of its kind in Nigeria and an endorsement of his leadership style, members of staff of the Federal University Lokoja, Kogi state couldn’t hide their emotions and wept bitterly and openly as Professor Abdulmumini Hassan Rafindadi left office. The Prof struggled to also hold himself as he waved at staff and students who gathered at the Vice Chancellor’s office to bid him farewell.

Rafindadi and Miri occupied the same office but thier tenures were characterized by two different and distinct outcomes.

Coming at a time when the country is mourning the death  a true servant leader and former Governor of Lagos state Baba Lateef Jakande, it is imperative for those entrusted  with leadership to always remember they will one day leave office, irrespective of how long thier tenure appears to be.

Those who have been saddled with the responsibility of leading should always remember that muzzling the ox when it treads the grain and denying labourers of their worthy wages when one feeds fat on their sweat will always result in this type of treatment.

As Professor Olayemi Akinwumi resumes as the new vice Chancellor of the university, it is hoped that such acrimony will cease as he will bring his wealth of experience and people management to bear in his quest to take one of Nigeria's baby institutions to enviable heights.

It seems some people are okay with this tyrant acts by the government

Check them very well. They are benefiting from the government. It is expected .

If they were truly innocent pedestrians, the court will discharge and acquit them.

It is not as easy you think. Court may not even admit it.

seunmsg:
I’m glad they were properly charged to court and have now been granted bail. That’s the right thing to do. It would have been condemnable if they were detained perpetually without charging them to court. The court should now be allowed to decide their fate.

Do you think of innocent pedestrians pick by police randomly?
Protesters are already prepared to be arrested. What about others?
Nigeria got independence in 1960 but her leaders and security agents are yet to get independence from colonial masters. Read your history.

I just laugh wen I see pple saying fulani and hausa wants to take over ibadan...most of u guy don't know how notorious ibadan is.....almost half of pple living in the interior part of ibadan is a thug...boxer..good with matchet and has access to charms....if ibadan youths and indigenes reason hausa eeh....10 of dem won't be remaining in one week........i hope the law enforcement settles this but that plot to do any nonsense is a waste of time ...ibadan is a no go area

Fixed! Ibadan thugs are enough to destabilize south west for weeks. Most thugs in Lagos can trace their roots to ibadan.

Fahdiga:
Sunday Igboho has succeeded in deceiving Yoruba youths. Yorubas are not known for fighting strangers in their land. it is high time that Yoruba elders call Igboho to order

Hope you are not indomie gen?
In 90s, yoruba and hausas had frequent clashes. Many lost their lives in mokola when abacha died in 1998. It was a terrible war between hausa and yoruba. What about kano yoruba war ?
I guess Sunday igboho also instigated that too.
From history, it is only yorubas that can treat hausa madness.

There can never be another Gani and any other lawyer in Nigeria parading himself/ herself as a human rights attorney/ activist, a constitutional lawyer or nurses the illusion of being for the oppressed people is nothing but a legal scammer riding on the back of the oppressed for more clientele, more political recognition and appointments with an induction into the the political looting class and the likes of keyamo, Falana, Sagay, Ozekomeh and co proves this assertions to be very valid.

Ebun, Tope Akinyode and host of others are trying . Dynamic has changed we shouldn't expect to see exact gani fawehinmi. Military regime is not democrazy .Politicians are very deceptive. Sincere people may be deceived to join them to bring about change. Deception is hallmark of democracy.

Just handful protesters , police officers were confused. If thousands of protesters, what would police do? Kill all of them?
Most protesters went there to be arrested.
Brainless people are governing lagos state.

Police brutality is issue not even arrests. Anybody can get arrested
Gani Fawenmi would never be part of that panel from the beginning.
Government always want credible people to endorse illegality without them realizing it.
Tai Solarin was a victim of that.

It is irony. protesters know they would get arrested by the police officers. I pity many pedestrians who were arrested indiscriminately.

Okoroawusa:
I Love this

What do you love about this?

Perfectsouth:
useless sets of illiterate..were they thinking the protesters don't know they will be arrested? They just want them to show how foolish they are
Kudos to my fellow comrades..

Fixed!!
Most police officers have low I.Q. protesters are always ahead of them.

I know they would be released. Useless police officers!!!!

melayemi:
So many police men deployed just for a peaceful protest

Very insane

There is nothing like spontaneous and disorganized protest, infact revolution are organized and sponsored 1 year before it starts.

Nothing happens by chance.

Karl marx is a marxist and he was instrumental in spreading anti capitalism idea to incite the working class against the capitalist group the ruling elites hate but at the ends benefit his capitalist friends.

When class struggles happens, the working class still suffer and the capitalist group win because labour and salaries will stop while the capitalist send his fund outside the country.

At the end of the struggle, another group of capitalist buy the industries for very cheap and pay labour( working class) very cheap.

When c

All revolutions in the past were spontaneous. It is expected that some figures will emerge as leaders of revolution. There can never be peace without justice.

The lekki tollgate is occupied by security agents and journalists. Aim of protest is achieved!!!

I see police officers occupy tollgate on behalf protesters.
Pedestrians cannot move freely as they are being arrested as well.
So what has government achieved? Tormenting pedestrians because of planned protests.

CodeTemplar:
yet cannot stop corruption

You cannot corruption but corrupt people should not be protected by the state with impunity.

Monogamy:
Win win situation.

Let those innocent people explain themselves to security operatives

Corrupt police.
It is illegal to arrest people for walking on the road as suspected protesters .

Monogamy:
Any gathering of more than 10 people is illegal.

All those arrested should be sent to Kirikiri to go and chop some beans

Some innocent pedestrians were arrested too. Use your brain !!
Police goofed. Protests never started but they picked people randomly on the road.

thebosstrevor1:
The rules is never allow protest to start.

Protest do not start organically, all protests are organized either by foreign bodies or by internal bodies.

Foreign bodies could either be a Foreign Ngos, Foreign government or terrorist groups, internal bodies could either be home based ngos, trade groups and anti government groups scattered all over the country.

It is important to know that sometimes foreign governments or ngos or trade groups might work with internal bodies to disorganized and sabotage a country.

The reality is protest does not benefit anyone because in change does not happen by protest but only if the system decides to change.

For a protest to happen, money must change hands because money is needed for logictics purposes, also a protest must needs leaders and also channel of communication to incite the people into the street.

Now, Government intervention can either make a protest start or die.

What can Government do?

Focus on Ngos, most protest in Nigeria are organized by local ngos with funding coming from international bodies and organizations who wants to see the country sabotage. It is government job to make sure all local and foreign ngos are registered as foreign agents, banks accounts must be monitored and laws must be created to limit the funding an ngo can get in a year.

Protests needs organizers, posters must be printed out, online groups must be created, influncers must be paid, all these must be tracked even down to the printers by the police and stopped before it escalate.

Fine online media that promote protest or write about any news talking about a possible protest.

Arrest leaders of protest groups without making a scene.

Yes, every citizens have the right to protest, it is their civil rights but when a protest starts having foreign sponsors, the purpose is sabotage.

Government needs to be vigilant to avoid any possible protest before it starts or it will lead to economic sabotage, ethnic cleansing and chaos.

The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles-karl marx.
Spontaneous and disorganized protest is more of revolution.
Organized protests are usually staged by oppressed majority against oppressive minority.
Nothing can stop protests until justice prevails.
