You mean 4.5m people homeless in Nigeria? Pls can you tell me the locations of these 4.5m people because in entire Abj I don't think people on the street without a home is up to 200 or 300 and I have lived in Lagos and walked through almost lenght and Bredth of Lagos I don't think people without home living under the bridges and other places will be up to 8k, same in Kaduna, same in Ondo state, same in Edo, same in Ogun, same in Enugu, Warri and Imo so where do these 4.5m emerged from and their location we want to go out their and do thorough statistics with no political undertone.

USA should be number 2 or 3 in the list.

Money that is already relaxing in someone's pocket that they say we should monitor

As usual I know dem dem won't believe it.

Some people will still say its a lie or waste of time or audio fund.

They will soon be here. Any good news about Nigeria is poisonous to them.

They have be adk to take responsibility but they won't only to come here and start wailing as usual.

How does these ones take graduated from police college still baffling me.

Now is now elite protester? What a title!!! Nice one dem forget added elite comedian protester or elite clout chasing protester.

Sowore don buy market....

AkpaMgbor:
That’s besides the point. Saying you can’t protest because of a court order issued by the government you’re protesting against is just bonkers. That is why it’s called a protest. If a court order is all you need to illegitmatize a protest then fuel subsidy or endsars protests would never have held.

Ok. I have heard you.

lailo:
Una go cry Taya……
Obasanjo appointed his own
Jonathan appointed his own
Buhari appointed his own
So Tinubu should allow Obi appoint INEC Chairman for him? Lol

No need telling them the cry go too much for dem in 2027 dem go dey ask demsef na who dem offended.

Honestly I still can't understand the reason why they are crying these much.

Benzigler:
Tinubu is already a failure and must be send back to Irabgiji come 2027, don't cry your eyes out or cry an ocean

Comedian.

Pls talk about Kanu big mistake in sacking his counsel leav Tinubu out of this. However, let me help you out Tinubu will spend 8 good years infact if possible more years ruling over you as the president and you can't do nada about it bro.

Benzigler:
Why are the southwest people crying and gnashing their teeth over a man who said nobody should beg for fir release? nothing hate and envy can not do

Pls don't go tribalism those you are referring to are not calling igbo in general they were calling Kanu on his error and by the way if you say Kanu said no one should beg for him then why did you support Sowore on free Kanu stunt with protesters showing different placards with funny inscriptions? Since you believe no one should beg for him then pls stop disturbing the govt about Kanu freedom biko.

We are telling you arrogancy can't solve any problem, Nigeria is too big and complex for a single person to think he can do and undo it's not going to work that is just the truth

Officer why arguing with a man holding a gun not just a gun but AK 47 one of the world deadliest firearm?

Gun nor dey born beta pikin oo. When that machine is in someone hand to kill or fire the bullet go dey hungry the person.

RIP officer. So sad indeed!

What is this guy talking about? Why is he bringing hero beer into all ttthese.

This guy sound like a pained somebody.

AkpaMgbor:
Dude! If that’s how protests works then no protest will ever hold in any country because the government will issue a court order. Why am I even explaining something so commonsensical? Sheesh!

Alright and now that Kanu brother, his lawyer and Sowore are docked what can you do now?

Look, everything in life is not by nzogbu nzogbu now go and free Kanu if you get the power?

LagosOrigin:
If serial murderers, drug pushers and Kidnappers are given presidential pardon by tinubu, then a freedom fighter should also be given presidential pardon.

Tinubu should release this man if he could release murderers, kidnappers and drug barons like himself in the name of presidential pardon.

Pardon for someone who refused to plead guilty? It's not working that way ok.

Your last paragraph making me laugh you kept rhetorically talking about drug barron like a condemn cassette player with no serious evidence than 460k dollar forfeiture. Oga say something else, Tinubu is not the cause of Kanu detention go and direct your anger toward Buhari.

Shockingly you are not even seeking clemency for Kanu but want to force Govt to free someone with treason and terrorism charges just like that? Haba who does that?

Calm down Mr man follow due process.

Willy2025:
How can he even refer to himself as a king in another man's land let alone installing a chief? This is an impunity carried too far. It is common to this particular tribe in Nigeria. I don't usually hear others committing such opprobrium or engage in acts calculated to bring the name of the country into disrepute.

Don't worry very soon with the arrogant behaviour of my people across Africa they will soon become endanger species hated by all countries in Africa. Soon they will be receiving fulani treatment across Africa.

See the nonsense they are causing in Nigeria, same nonsense made South Africa hate anything Nigeria, same nonsense turned Ghanians against Nigerians, same nonsense made India hate Nigrians etc.

I'm sick and extremely sick of them. And when you try to tel them the truth they hate you and called you igbokwe family because to them if you are not rude, arrogant, disrespectful, ingrate, invader, criminal, chest bester, terrorist, expansionist you are not igbo.

gidgiddy:
Its a show of shame for the Nigerian authorities to detain peaceful protesters just because you dont like what they are protesting about

Peaceful protesters kwa? After telling them not to protest and even court stopped them and they didn't listened and you are talking peaceful protesters?

Dem go rotten for police custody.

Sowore defiancy has made Kanu case worst and unfortunately Kanu won't be release the is just the truth so biko you are free to join them in police custody.

ogododo:
On the international stage, the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, in July 2024, ruled that Nigeria violated the rights of protesters at Lekki and ordered reparations. This judgment provided legal weight beyond Nigeria’s borders, affirming the claims of survivors and reinforcing the duty of the state to act.

Human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch corroborated the panels’ accounts, insisting that justice must not be sacrificed on the altar of political convenience.

Loud on paper, silent in practice
If inquiries and judgments were steps toward justice, implementation has been the missing bridge. Five years later, progress is selective at best.

Some states paid partial compensation to victims. In Lagos, hundreds of millions were disbursed, but many petitioners still wait. The National Human Rights Commission confirmed that awards were issued in several states, but the mode of disbursement was elusive.

Where panels recommended prosecution, few cases reached trial. Many police officers named in reports remain in service, reassigned or quietly reinstated. Structural reforms promised by government — community policing, training, and accountability boards — have not yielded visible transformation.


International partners, including the United States and United Nations, continue to urge Nigeria to honour its commitments. Yet, the gulf between recommendation and reality persists.

Open wounds
As the fifth anniversary is marked today, certain unresolved issues remain sharp: families of victims killed or missing, especially from Lekki, are still awaiting credible investigations, autopsy reports, and prosecutions.

Many victims awarded damages by panels have not been paid. Few, if any, security officials have faced trial for the killings.

Also, the dissolution of SARS has not delivered systemic change. Complaints of abuse continue under new acronyms. Protest memorials are still met with arrests and intimidation, suggesting civic space remains under siege. Full panel reports remain unpublished in some states, fuelling suspicion of cover-ups. These gaps leave a sense of unfinished business — of promises made but not kept.

Why justice for victims remains elusive — Lawyers


Some lawyers who played active roles during the protests gave insight into why, five years on, justice for victims remains elusive.

Disrespect for court orders, invitation to anarchy — Edun, SAN
Former Welfare Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Kunle Edun, SAN, describes #EndSARS as “a dark page in Nigeria’s history,” symbolising government disregard for human life and the rule of law.

He said: “The courts gave judgments awarding damages to victims, yet the government ignored them. Disrespect for judgments is an invitation to anarchy — not even a million soldiers can stop it.”

Edun accused Attorneys-General and legislators of colluding with governors to disobey court orders, saying, “We only have civilian rule, not democracy.”

He urged courts to enforce compliance with their orders and advocated state policing to end abuse.
“We need people-oriented policing, supervised by civil society and state Attorneys-General. A Police Force that oppresses citizens has no place in a democracy,” he declared.


Justice for victims remains elusive because of institutional cover-ups — Ufeli
The Executive Director of Cadrell Advocacy Centre, Evan Ufeli, stated that accountability for #EndSARS victims will remain elusive due to “weak political will, institutional cover-ups, and fear among witnesses.”

“Panels make findings, but there’s no independent process to translate them into prosecutions,” he explained. He added that the ECOWAS Court’s Lekki ruling remains binding but unenforced because the court lacks coercive powers.

“Enforcement depends on domestic implementation and diplomatic pressure,” he said.

Ufeli argued that sustained civil society pressure and international engagement are vital to compel compliance.

“Legal judgments alone are not enough; without political will and institutional reform, justice will remain on paper,” he warned.

You wan start ba? Tll the Wale Edun you quoted to go and verify what was the mission of #endsars" organisers high I was included?

We told youths to protest across the nation against police brutality before we knew what was going on Knu maliciously send his misguided foot soldier to Lagos to and burn it down.

The questio is what brought Kanu into our plan?

Is Lagos SARS headquarter?

Is Lagos Nigeria capital?

Why can't he tell his slowpoke foot soldiers to burn own imo or Abia nit Lagos?

Was police brutality only in Lagos?

Those Kanu slowpoke foot soldiers that could not make it to Lagos stopped at Benin and coerced Benin youths into burning down things is that what we planned?

Hello a child who say his father house must burn that child must burn with the house. So pls leave talk....

You lock your child inside a car for 8 hours?

Pls US should charge her for first degree murder and giver her the right judgement.

He brought the tractor una said una don't need them then he left them standing there?

And we have told him to send it all to Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, Edo, Delta for those eager to have them.

Ok we have heard you but one of you is under watch and the very moment the failed coup plotters affirms that person is involved unfortunately e go red for una eyes wetin we go do that your member.

Oh really NUJ still exist? I don't even remember anything like NUJ still alive in Nigeria.

So where were NUJ when Oseni threatening people's life on live broadcast?

NUJ una too funny. So now you suddenly got your voice back since 2015? Unfortunately that your voice will still go mute again for a very long time.

chidiokay:

Your last paragraph making me to laugh. Joblessness truly is a sin infactt it's worst than terrorism. Your mates are getting ready for work, getting ready for their business, buying cars, building houses, buying land, get married, discovering their destiny, becoming tech guru but you are here waiting for revolution? E go tey for people like you to make it in life.

Announce any date you like we won't still release Kanu it's a promise.

If you like protest from now till 2090 we won't release Kanu.
