Nigeria army currently shooting at protesters at lekki toll gate

I cry for my country

I've seen some lows in this country but a 'democratic govt' shooting peaceful demonstrators that's hell fire low. have never been this scared for Nigeria since the days of Abacha. rest in peace patriots may God avenge your souls

ah ok

edi287:
He's injured.

all this asking PMB to resign won't work. he has a lot of core followers who will resist him resigning forget all this "northern youths fed up talk" Like i said various people with agenda are now jumping on the bandwagon of #EndSars to get their pound of flesh against the FG. Not that I feel sorry for PMB cos his lack of leadership in not addressing the protesters again has allowed a bad situation become dire.

I think everybody needs to calm down so we can sort out this police brutality matter because if we allow anti-government sentiment laced with anarchy to persist just because we feel it's getting rid of a government we don't like it will spell danger. don't let us start something we can't predict how it would end. The democratic means to remove a government is through the ballot box people should chill till 2023 to vote out anyone they don't like. till then citizens should continue to use the power of advocacy to demand change in government policy like they have been doing with the #EndSars movement

Theyve made a monster now that can't tame it. The youth are very annoyed especially the jobless one remember it is the same govt that gave this youth this weapons during election Abuja is bloody 15 people have died today alone the whole nation is in stand still buhari should just resign and leave the youth were planning to go the aso rock today to attack but were resisted by the army those youth are fed up with status quo of thd nation
Last week during the protest I was talking with one of the youth they said they're not scared of death anymore that dont want their children to experience what they've been experiencing they are ready to give their live for this these dude are core northerners I was shocked
Revolution is looming in Nigeria and it getting bloody they wanted to assasinate the Gov of osun day before yesterday ...yesterday they attacked the Govt house the gov had to flee they attacked the CBN bus too despite the army following them
Now there is 2 faction in Nigeria youth
Angry youth and endsarz protester.
This angry were the one burning stations but the whole prison thing is propangada.

for real but why? beyond bants if they don't think he's good enough why not sell him?

Karlovich:
Onomah dropped from Fulham's 25 Premier league squad list for the 2020/2021 season.

bro things have escalated beyond APC/PDP matter. Edo a PDP state thugs are unleashing mayhem, Lagos APC state hoodlums are burning police stations and a hospital, Oyo PDP state chaos Osun APC state wahala.

i understand your sentiments that some sections sympathetic to the FG are behind the Abuja thugs but it's just one group. Their are many groups who have an agenda and this #EndSars movement was the perfect excuse to unleash mayhem. you will be surprised how many people out there who don't need too much of a prompting to unleash mayhem and anarchy their mantra will be if Nigeria is not working for me let everything burn and scatter. remember the xenophobia period when shops in lekki were looted? that should give you an idea of the keg of gun powder we are sitting on. mass of jobless unemployed drugged up youth

humility33:
You still can't think oga

It is glaring that the APC did that probably to discredit the protesters and to make the state ungovernable for the governor

Use your head nah haba

but what's the alternative allowing outright chaos? at least with sanwoolu he's been begging and reaching out to the protesters before today's escalation. from reports the situation in benin city had been escalating since weekend. however the president's nonchalance and silence added fuel to this fire

Edopesin:
I cannot blame Obaseki here, what exactly could he have done? deploying police to protest scenes could have also ended violently

i don't support Govt but really releasing prisoners? it's also plausible criminal elements using cover of "protests" with the help of a sympathetic warden could have helped with the breakout thank God Edopesin has posted links to videos. watch and be the judge

andrewbaba44:
The prison warden did as it’s a plan from the government

You are right

likely insider help. However the Edo situation has really gotten out of hand. cultist taking over the streets, raping women. Obaseki no try in this regard

andrewbaba44:
You think say to break naija prison na moi moi ?

like i said conflicting accounts. from what you just noted it's likely there was inside collaboration from one of the guards

forgiveness:
How? There are two types? The one outside and inside.

Which did they attack?

Definitely not the one inside because you can't enter without someone opening the gate.

oga saying someone was the best defender using only one metric is incorrect. Ndidi example you used several criteria were put forward before people determined he was the best DM tackles, interceptions, clearances, ball retrievals

if you can show any other stat that remotely shows Aina was our best defender i will agree with you until then na siddon look i dey

forgiveness:
Who was the best Nigerian defender in the AFCON?

What can determine this?


The modern analytics movement in world football has defined three main metrics to measure defenders: clearances, blocks and interceptions.

What is Omeruo and Aina's clearances, blocks and interception stats?

Interceptions

1. Ola had 15 (perhaps 2.

2. Omeruo had 2.5

Clearances

1. Ola?

2. Omeruo had 5.



Blocks

1. Ola?

2. Omeruo had 0.5 blocks per game.


Can someone show me the stats for Ola in these areas? I want to check something.

conflicting reports but the general picture is that hoodlums attacked prison guards and broke people out of jail.

forgiveness:
It seems the jailbreak was as a result of warden freeing prisoners. I don't know.

why is it so hard to except someone has been poor in the GWG and should improve? so because i criticize Onuachu i'm supporting rohr's coaching?

yes Ighalo, Oshimen and KC scored through their brilliance that's why they dribbled everybody from their half to the opponents box and scored. if it's that easy for players to score from their own individual brilliance please let's sack rohr now. next time players get on the field just say "oya show your individual brilliance"

we have been qualifying for the WC and AFCON for donkey years so what rohr did qualifying the team is not a huge deal but conveniently forgetting where we were when he came is not on.

i've always said rohr is not the best tactically but i won't blame him for something that's not his fault

BascoVanVeli:
Some times I just wonder if I am watching a totally different game than u guys. Our conversation is about utilizing Onuachu's height but go to 2:52 on this video and see the cross u are beating your chest about.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yzX4FMss_s

Countless of crosses were bombed by those fullbacks both Salisu and Ebeuhi.


Ighalo, Iheanacho and especially Osimhen score out of their own brilliance. U can't tell me any of their goals that looked like it came out of the training ground.

Don't let Rohr's white skin blind your common sense. How many set pieces have we scored under him? We are still as poor as we were before he came. U can't tell me a technical department Rohr has improved us in.


The only thing different about the super eagles is that our players have fancy clubs by their names now. Anybody that believed that Nigeria would have continued not qualifying for the nation's cup without Rohr is just being sentimental.

guy i'm really surprised you will be using the word trash when i've always been civil with you anyways let me address your points

Did he get a cross from Sanusi? Yes

you say must he score from a sanusi cross and I also ask you did anybody curse Onuachu that na only cross e fit use score? the goal he scored against Egypt sey na cross e take score?

the fact of the matter under whom did Ighalo start showing his best form? i'll leave you to answer that. you actually saying KC failed to score in 11 same KC that has been struggling to score in leicester city.

if you think Onuachu is being picked on na your problem be that. The day he does well for SE i will praise him. the same i did for Ighalo, KC or any other striker so please don't bring any BS my way.

andrewbaba44:
Which cross and how many cross? Keep on saying trash

So he must score from sanusi cross?

Mind you it took ighalo time ,and onauchu is not super eagles first choice striker that will keep on getting minutes as ighalo then to proove him self

Iheanacho has been good for the eagles but hope you know he didnt score for about 11 games under rohr ?

Stop talking nonsense and leave onauchu alone

guy you brought up the law about those attempting suicide being arrested and i'm saying the law is ridiculous and should soon be struck off the books.

As for the gay law if segregation laws were criminalized and justified in the past it's the same way you are justifying and shouting criminal law now as regards to homosexuality.

Godx:
Bro I still don't understand what you are typing and the points you are trying to make.

oh it's very relevant if what was a crime then is no longer the case what then makes you think homosexuality should be criminalized?

Godx:
This is not related to anything I have typed.i don't do whataboutism

a crime is a crime because someone committing it is harming someone directly or indirectly. arresting for attempted suicide is a dumb law which i expect to be struck of the books soon. even our police as terrible as they are have sense not to enforce that law cos how many reports have i not heard this year of people trying to commit suicide on 3rd mainland bridge

you meet a gay person how does that affect your life? unless the said gay person attempted to sexually harass you (which would then be a crime) how else does his existence affect you?

Godx:
What are you even typing? If you are caught commiting sucide you will be arrested. What do you mean by affect your existence? I

didn't comment on my boy Osigoal getting his first goal. happy it was a shot outside the box he scored and not a tappin or ball over the top before the usual narratives start being repeated about him. The way he brings his teammates into play it's no surprise why Mourinho wanted him. Victor should keep working hard. pray he stays injury free.

it was also in the criminal law that black people were once penalized in some countries for using white only conveniences please come with a more logical argument

Godx:
*Criminal law* Read up on it, understand it before replying. . I don't have time for ignorant argument this period

you are very funny then the person that committed suicide should be arrested now charge his corpse to court.

being gay does not affect your existence in anyway. if you travel overseas to America or western Europe and you see two grown ass men kissing as much as it disgusts you throw way face. Why can't you throw way face here in Nigeria?

Godx:
Sorry but the bold is very ignorant and I will leave it at that. Do you know commiting sucide is crime?

supernerd mentioned it. there was one cross that was delivered by sanusi which Onuachu was able to get to before the Algerian keeper but it went out of play for a goal kick.

My argument is as much as the wingers and fullbacks were not too helpful with the crosses Onuachu himself could have done better

Sportilitica:
Which game because I have watched both matches and we practically did not cross the ball in both games. And when we attempted to, it was an eyesore

bros why should I arrest or jail somebody for who they chose to love? are they bringing it to my side? if not live and let live.

that said just because I tolerate your life style doesn't give you the right to come force it down my throat all to push your agenda.

Godx:
You still haven't come up with any tangible reasons why criminalization of Homosexuality is human rights abuse.

him and Iwobi play different positions but i rate loftus if we had a player like him with his skill set he would definitely be in our team.

andrewbaba44:
Loftus cheek is good but i dont think he his better than iwobi

donjazet:
I swear down, one can't truly understand a situation like he who wears the shoe that pains.

Sometime ago when i watched the news and saw some people run down black lives matter protesters in America, I was like what kind of heartless barbarity is that??

But after spending 5 hours in traffic yesterday because of these fools who don't even know what the're protesting again, my perspective became very much clearer on how those people felt.

At this point, I am asking why we don't just take the win so far and chill and watch how things progress from here.

In America, after the death of George Floyd, millions of people all over the world, came out in support and solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Trump didn't even pay close attention, he kept screaming law and order but at least he held dialogues with police Chiefs that led to slight reforms on police manhandling.

Before you knew it, the protests started getting derailed to other issues that had nothing to do with the original intent of the protest Good or bad as they might have been), People started defacing all revered monuments, started blocking highways and calling for a total abolishment of the police force.
At that point, normal people lost interest and the zeal to still protest and 4 months later, you still have some people protesting for God knows what. The protests are thoroughly unrecognizable from how it started. Everyone is now tired of seeing all these protests in America now that have even turned violent in many cases and would rather the whole thing stopped for now.

We in Nigeria need to learn from that. The protests were very honorable to begin with, with a very simple message #END SARS.
The international community has rallied behind us and the government has responded swiftly too. They have banned the unit and assured that the unit is now rendered defunct with reformation for it's members.
We have to take this win and bide our time, now the protests are being hijacked with all sorts of agenda from different people. The protests are gradually progressing to riots, the protesters are now a nuisance to the average citizen on the road.

These protests have to end now.
LET'S TAKE THE WIN AND BIDE OUR TIME. Else normal people will lose the zeal to continue to support us.

very excellent take.

the figure heads of this #endsars protests are long on passion and commitment but very naive on how to press their advantage. once govt had agreed to their demands the next step would have been to appoint credible youth reps amongst themselves to gatekeep the process of govt implementation of their 5 demands so that no opportunist like Segalink would hijack the process.

like you said they should learn to take small wins in their quest to change the system.

even the arab spring revolution that was more sweeping than our own currently what did the ordinary people gain? Libya is a mess, civil war in syria while Egypt only replaced a former military civilian dictator for another

you are also making excuses for Onuachu. have you forgotten the cross Sanusi gave him in the first half? all those long balls he was getting how did he utilize them?

coach is useless to teach crossing yet Ighalo was prolific under him, Osimhen is thriving even Iheanacho despite his struggles has been ok under this same rohr.

you can blame rohr for a lot of things but Paul's form in the SE is not one of them.

BascoVanVeli:
All these excuses u are making don't cut it. U are sounding like Rohr when he dribbled around this same simple question. Why don't you work on crosses into the box? Nobody is asking that us change anything but when there is a guy taller than everyone on the box common sense should tell u that the aerial ball is a way to score.


It is clear that Rohr puts little emphasis on crossing the ball because there was no improvement from Algeria to Tunisia.

oh but writing off a young player competing in a European League for the first time and going ahead to claim he's only good enough for academy football without watching him play is objective abi? lol please just don't go down that route you will never win

komekn:
I still think without an iota of doubt and or arrogance but plain objectivity he will walk into the SE Midfield.

Will Aribo, Frank Onyeka, Tijani, Iwobi, Agu, Azeez, Ndidi, Seyi, etc displace Rueben Loftus-Cheek in the Fulham team. I very much doubt that.

Bearing that thought in mind because it's obvious you don't have the attribute of objectivity. You jumped with emotive sentiment and negative bias.

This is normal practice in football player rotation, when even Pogba got dropped, or Barkley, did anybody write off these players.

Tega has missed 2 games and you have written him off with rhetorical disdain. Your prejudice is naked. No other Nigerian player will not play a few games and you write off, with celebration.

You should try restrain yourself and get some OBJECTIVITY.

our elders have a saying that it's from the morning you will know how the day will turn out.

yes it's early days but the Fulham i'm seeing hasn't been impressive and if they don't get their bearings right and they are still in the relegation spots by early January then I'm afraid it might be curtains.

Coach Parker needs to do better tactics wise. he has a few good players now so he should not use lack of quality personnel as an excuse.

As for Onomah there's still time for him to impress but the way you were hyping him almost saying he would walk straight into the SE have to say he has been really tepid.

komekn:
Wow see analysis.

The EPL is the most competitive league in the World.

After 5 games in the EPL and you are talking Fulham FC as relegation bound, add to that with the level of quality recruitment they have just added to the squad.

You have indepth football understanding and insight.

Dust your history books and see where Leicester City where the year the won the EPL title with Claudio Ranieri, Dr 2 Know football analyst.

Rohr has his tactical failings but blaming him solely for the failure of Onuachu to hit the heights in the SE is unfair.

With due respect to Paul he's not a Messi or Ronaldo that the team will be forced to adjust their pattern to. Like we all noted the wingers and fullbacks didn't give him enough supply of crosses but what did Paul himself do in the Algerian friendly? how was his hold up play? his movement?

Watch the Friendly against Egypt in which he scored and other matches with the SE wasn't his movement and general play better in comparison to the others?

Saying that he has been scoring in a league so a coach does not know how to use him i'm sorry is too pedestrian an argument. Lacazette has been out scoring Giroud for how many seasons now yet Deschamp doesn't rate him. Aguero in Man city is unstoppable but let him just cross the atlantic Ocean to Argentina he becomes barely effective. so my guy club form yes it's important but translating it to national team sometimes can be another kettle of fish.

Paul should continue in his good form but should also look critically at the aspects of his game he needs to improve on so he will be invaluable to the SE.

BascoVanVeli:
The team did not play to his strength so yes Rohr stopped Onuachu from scoring I can say that with my full chest

Look at the cross Sanusi made this weekend, did u say any of our players playing that kind of early ball? A good coach should know how to break down the opposition.

Victor Osimhen is a better coach than Rohr. (Yes I said it!!) This is the only reason we played well against Ukraine and Brazil. He made sure his teammates did the right thing unlike Rohr who just stands there inshallah-ing

forgiveness:
Next you will use your brain. You would have exposed by now.

If you want to keep insulting yourself that is your business

forgiveness:
Next time use your brain well before you make comment here.

stop quoting me and keep advising yourself

elunico:
Lol! You and are paddy are grinding it out again, uh?

Don't mind the guy always looking for trouble

forgiveness:
Next time, use your brain very well before you talk because I suppose you rate players based on the region they come from and not by performance at the highest level else you wouldn't riducle UEFA champions league performer.

it's yourself you are advising definitely not me!

forgiveness:
What do you use to rate a player? Okay. Once he's from your region, he is better, right?

Please, use your brain for once.

ogbeni park one side and carry your frustration elsewhere I don't have your time today
