The youths of calabar young boys and girls please forgive we the elders. We have offended you people for long but I plead that you guys forgive us. I am kneeling down in an Efik land to plead that the politicians be forgiven. The last time I knelt down was when I was ordained in the church.
I am happy that all the places you people went to, you did not kill anybody. Please let there be no killing in the land of the Efiks no more shedding of blood. Let's Maintain our position as the most calm state, no shedding of blood. Let there be no problem in the land again.
Please bring back the old Calabar, the Canaan city, the calm environment, etc.
She starts crying they said your highness please don't cry and she said please allow me to cry, this thing is not an easy thing. Youths please forgive the elders and politicians we know we have wronged you people.
It has just started happening in Cross River, people are running Helter skelter for safety. The Governor's office has just been visited. Who knows what will happen next.
Let her keep the advice and dialogue with the youths/hoodlums to avoid what is happening in other states.
In this life, discretion is require when taking a course of action:
Know when to strike
Know when to stop and retreat
Know when to re-enforce
Know when to withdraw and drop the plough.
You can't disobey the govt without repercussions, else the govt will be seen as weak which will lead to a state of anarchy.
The rot in the system didn't accumulate in a week or 2, it's a gradual process. The youths have expressed their anger why not withdraw and allow the govt take decisions.
I won’t sign 2021 budget without provisions for SARS’ victims – Gbajabiamila
Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila on Tuesday said he would not sign the 2021 budget if the appropriation bill does not make provision for families of victims of SARS brutality.
Speaking during the House’s plenary on Tuesday, the Speaker said the police were not above the law and that they must be accountable to the people.
In his words: “I will not sign off on a 2021 budget that does not have adequate provisions to compensate those who have suffered violence from police in the last decade.”
He said he would be leading a delegation of lawmakers to pay condolence visits to families of some of those killed by the police, stressing that they would be honoured after the visit.
According to him, the National Assembly would establish a system of citizen-led accountability for the Nigerian Police Force because in a democracy the nation sets out to build, the police were not above the citizenry.
Gbajabiamila added that the police were servants of the people and not above the law, but guardians, saying that as the government endeavoured to hold the nation’s police to higher standards of professional conducts, they must also make sure they provided for the welfare of the men and women in uniform.
He appealed to #EndSARS protesters to be cautious in handling the matter, saying that they should not let their righteous cause be hijacked and brought the nation to its kneels, saying that this was the time to move their agitation from the streets.
Evolutionlove: In as much as you are trying to make sense with this comment of yours, But I'm assuring you, You are very useless for posting It as well......
Lols, SHATAAP!!!
I have gone through your replies and seen that you are a frustrated thug filled with bitterness. No time replying your comments else I'll be seen as your kind. NANSENSE and INGREDIENT, IDIAT.
This is fast becoming disastrous, totally gory. Why are they shooting at people who they are meant to protect?
But then again, there have been burning of police stations by people who we cannot confidently vouch for as either being citizens or paid thugs.
What I don't understand is what these politicians are achieving with SARS that it cannot be ended totally.
#end_police_brutality!
Are you aware that SARS has been disbanded? Why is the protest still in in the name of #endsars?
The Nigerian youth have been relegated to the background for centuries, a protest of 1 or 2 weeks can't change anything especially when the govt is adamant.
More youths/life will be killed by the govt at the end who losses?
That's to tell you that something is cooking at the background.
I strongly believe Yahoo Yahoo and Yahoo+ boys including touts a re behind this.
The brutality and killing is there but what happens to reforming them instead of totally scrapping of the department. Is there any provision for replacement for the duties they were performing
In Nigeria ones a woman says I can't take it anymore in marriage, the next thing you see the man making accusations of INFIDELITY and will try by all means to back it up with baseless claims.
Precious might have her own flaws too but for FFK to marry 4 women in 4 marriages and no one is living with him now shows something is wrong with FFK somehow somehow
