He come pull celebration like Prime Lampard too

Na my favorite goal of yesterday, world class strike

eph12:
Everyone needs to track back at some point. If you expect the defenders to contribute to the attack, then the attackers must contribute to the defense either by trying to win the ball back up front or tracking back

Apt

Black Ronaldo

Clear off captain okrika from Shekpite Fc.

Best in the league.

Black Ronaldo for president!!

adebayo201:
Elrony... How far?

I dey o, couldn't see most of the game. Network was poor at the protest ground yesterday. Seen the highlights tho, can we play Bissaka as top 9? See shot!!!

If the protests are sustained then the demands must be upgraded. Mere police reform is not enough. It might take 50 more years before people can come together like this again. The people must seize the day and strike while the iron is hot.

This is possibly a singular opportunity to effect positive change, but unfortunately i don't think we as a people have it in us to do the needful.

I honestly hope it spirals from just reforming the police into more governance related demands, cos it might take another generation to see this kinda window again.

The Nigerian government must be worse than that of the slave masters.

Ibime:
If Nigerians carry on this protest for 2 more weeks in the face of increased aggression and don't go running for their lives, then I'll know we are a bit more serious.

I do earnestly hope it gets sustained and not sabotaged. It's been commendable so far.

Bro TJ is disguising in Otem's cage. Moni ki werey soro soke and hawk his Kogi god.

afrodoc2:
The pushback against the protests is the reason why the Nigerian people will continue to suffer at the hands of our heartless leaders.

We are not united enough, courageous enough, or indeed selfless enough to see a grassroots/popular revolution to its logical conclusion.

People have started complaining about how their individual lives are being affected and are taking a short term view rather than thinking long term and putting the objectives of the group ahead of their individual goals.

Most grass-root revolutions develop organically and often spontaneously so it does not really matter what the initial aims and demands were, the people have a right to demand more and more from their leaders (who are meant to be servants of the people not masters).

Eminently notable examples of this are the French and American Revolutions in which the initial demands were minor but the ultimate changes were seismic.

Even more recent popular protests/uprisings globally have often started from what initially seemed to be a trivial matter. A good example is the Arab Spring’s origin in Tunisia. What makes it even more ironic is that many of these regimes and governments committed far less crimes against their people than the Nigerian political class before their people united to kick them out.

This is in no way castigatory about any specific person. Everyone has a right to support or oppose the protesters. Rather it is a commentary on the Nigerian psyche and why it is almost impossible to effect real and permanent change based on civilian protests alone.

Jah bless you, doc.

airmark:


I had criticized Hazard before so i am not a slave to him.

I only hailed your loyalty to Otem, the Kogi guyman, and you started foaming in the mouth.

With your epistle below, what remains other than to put Otem for tray and 'hawk' him around the streets of Lagos?

Maguire was always suspect.

The mental pressure of playing at United is different from the mental pressure of playing at Leicester. And going by his response to his court case he is mentally fragile.

The difficulty level for a slow and fat CB to play with a low block like in Leicester is different from playing in a much higher block like at United.

The exposure level when playing with an energetic and quick DM like Ndidi as your screen is different to when playing with slow Matic as your screen.

He is not a crap defender but he is definitely not as good as advertised to us. Definitely not worth 80m.

Some real facts.

nihilistjnr:
No chance for that one.

He should enter PH and protest SARS

My man

iamoyindamola:
How much were they paid to be destroying cars

I no know o

larride:
So on what basis is the EndSwat founded on?

Lack of trust.

Skimpledawg:
I go kpo kpo you o

"Touch not my anointed...."

iamoyindamola:
They now pay Hausa to destroy properties and attack protesters in abuja

They dealt with the idiots later on...

Wicked beings are now throwing money and propaganda upandan just to discredit the protest, e shock them.

larride:
How many SWAT you don see for street before?

None, I haven't been in a situation that would require SWAT intervention. Wetin SWAT wan dey find on a normal day for street?

eph12:
They charged some protesters to court in less than 24 hours though

The laws don't clearly apply to them na

DontBullshitMe:
Before Prosecution, there has to be a thorough internal investigation by an arm of the police force that proves that these officers indeed are REALLY guilty. You don't just charge any police officer accused of wrongdoing by the public to court. It does not work that way.

Internal investigation - termination of employment - prosecution.

Is that what you want NPF to achieve in one week?

Nonsense internal investigation, na internal dem commit the killings?

Those fraudulent ways of doing things won't work no more.

They should be working while people continue protesting; everything dey their hand.

Skimpledawg:
Brother me, when I served in Warri, I flowed well with their pidgin though Warri slangs comes with accent that is undeniable.

Ph slangs is more like a code or language used by closely knitted individuals not necessarily 'cultists' yarns/slangs. Just that Cultists and kegites guys made it more popular.

The language invokes a sense of culture and oneness here in PH.

Truly, it has little to do with cultists.

Bloody JVC fake pastor

larride:
Go n start EndSwat protest.

But SWAT has been existing na, or Adamu forgot he deployed them in 2019?

DontBullshitMe:
Wishing or hoping for a totally peaceful protests in a country like Nigeria is unrealistic. Protests are public demonstrations, everyone is welcomed to join. In fact, in any protests, you can't affirm the uprightness of every protester. There will be thugs who want to make a statement, people who are looking for means to steal something and reference as their gain from the demonstration etc.

What do you mean by Government is not to be trusted by their words? They have done enough in ensuring that the easily achievable demands are met. SARS have been disbanded and most arrested protesters have been released. All this talk about prosecution of officers responsible for police brutality, Police reform etc is just an excuse for people to still be on the street.

Let me add that the economy is barely on its feet after the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown. Last thing that should be done is crippling vehicular movements on major roads. Some people depend on daily consistent income to survive. Make Una think am well ooh.

So you mean they can't or shouldn't prosecute officers that were complicit with extrajudicial killings ?

Amoto94:
That was when men were defending with everything they got and getting nominated for best CBs not what's obtainable today that a traffic warden is hailed as the heir to Baresi and Stam

Dutch Pontius Pilate with perm hair?

eph12:
Omo the thing weak me. I thought maybe he knows everyone there and what they're into

Felt somehow reading it, ain't one bit right.

They should not end SARS or reform the police.

Let's kuku be enjoying whatever we see in the hands of these guys.

iamoyindamola:
True
The original victims are working from home or in their various offices

It is not true anything...

Folks who have better jobs and businesses than I do were out there protesting today.

Make una stop all these disgusting narratives abeg.

popizaino:
So Yahoo boys and runs girl have a particular look?

It's a freaking disgrace

Emaprince:
Also all the people I saw here protesting looks like yahoo boys and runs girls.

This is my problem because yahoo boys seems to be the most active with the whole protest going on.

So anybody protesting is now a yahoo boy or runs girl?

Y'all deserve the kinda government we currently have.

iamoyindamola:
Now you talking
I still they work from home till next month

Na una dey flex, was doing that till lockdown was relaxed like jerry curls

iamoyindamola:
I'm talking about how we behave entirely, we rather spend our time on irrelevant stuff that's why those old men will turn politics to theirs
But I think something is waking us up now, I have never seen youths so committed and corporate before
Did you see lekkii toll gate
They are moving to ikorodu road soon

Oh okay...

I hate discussing Nigeria, but hopefully this is an awakening to deal with these geriatrics.

I survived the toll gate using alternative route this morning, na how to go back house be problem. I shoulda stayed home mans

Make them kuku block everywhere, if I could I for join protest small

iamoyindamola:
No it's not even hard for us in this country we just like adapting and legalising bad stuff.
An average youth can subscribe 2k internet data, binge on Netflix, go to club, cinemas, malls etc
The problem is oppression and envy, you are driving a big car and we are mates I will want to be like you, in process I ask for what you doing and caring about the consequence so I can also ball like you.
From there I introduce my other friends and the cycle continue then we use the country umis hard as excuse before they will say no job. But the truth is majority of them can't work in the office because they feel the salaries are small compare to what they get from clients while some are also lazy.
We(youths) are actually the problem not the nation, until we get ourselves then we can deal with those old fvckers

I see the geriatrics who destroyed this country and turned it to a shithole have sold you the usual "youths are Nigeria's problem", "wasted generation " etc and you've bought it hook, line and sinker.

I just hope you're exaggerating sha
