Why was the looting and destruction of properties in computer village foiled by people despite curfew

In fact, computer village is a conflagration of diverse owners....the rich, the poor, police, military, yankee guys, G-boiz, etc...


The people were at alert...united to secure their investment that is why they couldn't loot Computer Village, Ikeja.

jiregr8:
Are they going to also call for the scrap of Pengassan, Nubife, ASUU, NASU and all CDAs and CDCs? I don't get? Government is lacking in its own responsibility to properly regulate the Unions and you want it take it out on others, why? the same government officials find some of their members as a willing tool to unleash terror sometimes, because they have a lot of members the society have dealt badly with and they are happy to bring other people down to their own sad realities of life, not all of them though. NURTW as a union benefited our society a lot, sadly they have not embraced PR and effective Marketing to tell their own story, making other people to tell their story for them. Scrap which union? Do they realise how many people they will be throwing out of job? Should anybody contemplate that, I will advise their leadership to approach the court. Why not Scrap APC and PDP for the violence during electioneering campaigns and the huge embezzlement during their respective reigns? To me, this call amount to intellectual laziness, how can we regulate them better to reduce their nefarious activities without throwing away the gains from the union, should be what these concerned people be submitting not closing their own space. My take

NURTW as a union benefited our society a lot..... Lemme learn about their benefits in your area. Much I remember some public bus drivers want them off the road. Their activities should be restricted to the park not at every B/stop. Don't miss up NURTW with Public Bus Drivers!

juvewalex:
Of all unions in Nigeria, NURTW is the most rugged and useless of them all .

They're are political tools for our politicians hence, it can never be scrapped and government doesn't want to regulate or checkmate their activities either.

Apparently they are useless cuz no form of contributions or benefits, neither can they channeled or propose the needs to repair bad roads or manage traffic.

I wish a representative or senator can raise this issue at the floor, what's their national role?

INEC should handle their logistics to distribute election materials to cut off ties with NURTW.

Amotolongbo:
Lagos as a mega city should have done away with the activities of NURTW for long.

It doesn’t befit Lagos having agberos scattered all over everywhere. The transportation in Lagos should be formal

This is moreorless the exact word a friend told me in his car on Friday evenning. Govt needs to stop using them for tax collection cuz last last, half of it ain't remitted....

ikorodureporta:
I'm still on covik break

They said they were not trained to respect lawyers but to kill.

That's all I can captioned for those who don't understand the job of NA and for those who undermine that sanity of human life.

Skynet45:
>:
I don't believe the army and sanwo olu both are pathological liars and again only the president has the power to control the army so sanwo olu might just be right

Yeah, I want to assume that the LASG act in proxy while the directive was made from the Presidency. Remember, LASG visited PMB prior to the Lekki Incident to table #EndSars grievances as a form of solidarity.

Let's ask the NA, whom stated they shot blank bullet towards the protesters.

How come we never heard of the word blank bullets before now?. Can the NA exonerated itself in other protests that it had used blank bullets to disperse protesters, [b] shooting into the air in their narrative theme? in this country.[/b]

Can the NA cite instance where blank bullets was been shot at citizens by their military to disperse protesters in a Democratic State in the World?

Is firing of blank bullets the only mean to disperse protesters?

Did the NA realised that the blank bullets did the job of killing some of the protesters (They said it wasn't peaceful so permit me to use *protesters*) right there in Lekki Toll Gate incident... Lying in their pool of blood?

Miracle2020:
why did they attack and open prison? The protest was full of violence even before The lekki saga. Can you remember that police men were killed in delta and edo before that day?
Do you remember when RRR police men were attacked and their vans were burnt in lagos by protesters without any reason?

It is clear to me that you don't have a clear remembrance of the trend of events prior and aftermaths of the Lekki Shootings.

yanabasee:
Nonsense....

They'll just be using this panel to delay the judgement and before you know it, their second will finish.....



This is what Magu is facing.....

This is what Dansuki is also facing.....

This is a common practice with APC...

The NDDC, *off your mic* Comes to mind.....

The people waiting for the result of the EndSars shooting at lekki tollgate will likely not get their answers anytime soon......

We better change the ENDSARS to Endbadgovernment

It is a norm here that setting up a panel or committee is a tactical way of delaying things in politics.

No comment...

Just reminiscent on those days I used to design movie posters.

coolsegun2002:
U guys don’t know how the female mind works....
Have u ever seen women blame themselves for break up... it’s always “men are scum”


Woman that you and her will have consensual sex and she will call it rape..u think she’s lying ??

No ..... it’s not a lie oooo....

She will just remember deep down that she never wanted to have the sex initially...and delete from her mind the part where she decided to do it anyways hoping that she will hook you and u guys will start dating.

Trust me ..she will get to anywhere in the world and argue she was raped...even with tears...
not becos she’s lying but because she has compartmentalize her heart to be believe it 100%

Let me check dictionary to understand more on that compartmentalized of the female mindset... Kudos to your wisdom.

I will have to concur u really study their mindsets..

The first time, I ever heard that was cuz I didn't call her while she was on a journey..

I was shock to hear the word *U broke my heart* with seriousness over her. I couldn't figure it out till now... But we have grown beyond that... So, I want to assume that compartmentalized things has been part of some of them. Easily forget the good moment and throw up the dust within a moment....Not strange, u just explain it better for us...

Unik3030:
All I can say about d Lekki shooting is that both parties aren't sincere so they are covering lies with lies.

it's obvious DJ switch lied n other endsars activist n also the government isn't sincere so both parties aren't telling us what happened.

questions d government needs to answer
*d Fashola camera
*who called d soldiers n what were they called for?
*y didn't they calm protesters in other places but prefer where Tinubu is making his money?


questions d soldiers need to answer
*were u there that night?
*who called u n what did he call u to come n do?
*u agree shooting occurred,who fired it?
*u agree u used blank bullet but we say a 2005 Nigeria navy bullet,did it come from d sky?


questions for DJ switch to answer
*how many were killed?
*we agreed your phone went off at a time so u couldn't capture d scenes,are u d only one with phone there or only your phone can capture d scenerio?
*u admitted to speaking with the soldiers shooting,did he paused the shooting so he can speak with u or u have bullet proof?

questions for endsars protesters
*u once had an affiliation with Atiku during campaign n now u are leading a protest against a government that defeated your preferred candidate,can u prove beyond reasonable doubt that u aren't sponsored to cause chaos?

*u received a certain amount during the protest, please can u clearly tell us what it was meant for n d services u rendered?

*u posted some pictures online about d protest,can u prove to us that they were real n not fake news to incite violence

*u once had an affiliation with Atiku during campaign n now u are leading a protest against a government that defeated your preferred candidate,can u prove beyond reasonable doubt that u aren't sponsored to cause chaos?

I am interested to respond to that above.

If one is sponsored to cause chaos does it come in a peaceful protest...Are there any verified reports that people are armed before the day of shooting?

Hope you are aware people live close to that Lekki Toll gate... ?

Yea, the Protesters ignored or disobey LASG call for curfew... Can't they call in the police first?. Army are train to kill in its simplest form.

If you have witness a shoot out of gunfire and you are saddle with a responsibility as Colonel of your team to be ambush by enemy..... Imagine that, not to talk of unarmed people...

Cmon, can the NA take such chances against BH?....come to start narrative that doesn't count?

I will say the lady DJ Switch take a noble stand regardless of irregularities that might portray her.

My people will say, person wey motor jam, no be the person go want think to write the motor plate number.

Jostoman:
The international community are the only people who can give justice to those people kill at lekki tollgate. The Nigerian government now believe that nobody can challenge them.

Maybe the Int'l community can help to grant justice in this matter....though this kind of incident is synonymous in every nation political history.

FGN should be responsible, cuz the personality of PMB lacks good governance approach to citizens. I won't be surprise if PMB is linked to that Lekki Incident by Proxy through Sanwolu. The govt will kill the case, that's sure.

If someone here can just called his classmates who are Judges, that my case is before u.. How can we resolves it, then imagine what a govt can do.

The easy prey of them are the Magistrates, I understand most of them try to defend their integrity in some cases but things will just happens the other way round...

Patrioticman007:
Imagine they are still practising OSU caste system in the 21st century.
What type of barbarians did Lord Lugard join us with, may he not sleep well in his grave.

The people ought to have fight against this erroneous belief... Yet, they produce no of Christians, with no of Bishop, Fathers and Venerable in their midst.

According to the Igwe narrative on how OSU caste came into existence was purely at man discretion not spiritual or deities incline.

What do you miss most about your old life; that is, before you became a traditional ruler?



Early, I started staying away from women. In fact, their lives pissed me off. I only had a girlfriend when I lived in Calabar (in Cross River State). I sat the Standard Six Certificate examination there. Calabar had a stadium where festivals were held and it also served as a cinema. She liked us to attend such festivals together. She would book for our tickets. When I came back to Nnewi, during my students’ union days, I ran into another one who requested money from me to buy a photo album. I told her I didn’t have money and the relationship ended there.



So, in the real sense of it, I didn’t have a girlfriend the way people have girlfriends these days. I lived in Kano and had no girlfriend. All I did as a youth was to take care of myself, cook for myself and read. I had no business with women. Unfortunately, this generation is funny. Today’s men are milked dry by women. When you give them money, your energy and time, you are wasting and killing yourself gradually.

That's some sort of wisdom wrapped insyd

obi2eze:
Not logical enough

Not at all....

I knew it that it will turn out that the FGN wants to linked them with the opposition to claim #Endsars was politically motivated...

We are political animal as scientist will say.

PenuelFarms:
The panels of inquiry set up by state governments to probe police illegalities just seem like a joke to me. Will Obiano thoroughly probe all cases against James Nwafor?

Sincerely, it is becoming a joke...a dine table at the end.

No corresponding action to solve issue on grounds by the State Govt or FGN

punisha:
I love her "nothing can dampen my spirit attitude."

Whomever is advising FG is only making matter's worse for the government. They have the option of calling these people and listening to what they have to offer, and redeeming their image (which can never be redeemed) but instead u make them living legends

Power is transient and and the celebration will be greater than the death of Abacha when it happens this time. They should be worried about who the next president will be. It isn't their shot to call anymore.

People like Rinu are willing to die for a cause she believes in.

Well said....the govt is gradually becoming repressive and undemocratic.

Imagine the #Endsars promoter or organiser had labelled someone as their leader, this is how the govt would have been dealing with such person...Now I further reason why the #EndSars claimed they have no leaders.

Govt took advantage of the publicity of their names on social media to stop further donations to the movement to start chasing after them as if they committed crimes.

The consequences of their actions ain't been weighed before hand.

The so called elders are watching, the so-called good citizen are watching yet, they keep silence.

Well, we need to know who raised the issue at the house of Rep?. His constituency?

Are FRSC to control crime or traffic?

The FRSC needs to be scrapped even before now... Each State should create its own traffic managers... Enough of duplication to reduce cost of governance.

That will be more dignified than FRSC that hangs on the Highways

oluwaseyi0:
But SARS the killers were recognized by law
and the fundamental human right to protest is no longer recognize during Buhari the dictator regime?

That's the irony of the LASG Lawyer... Well, he has a valid point on the note, it is not a recognized body.

Though, in reality, it was the other #EndSars Lawyer's fault to have said that...He suppose to tell the Court who he represents who are as organizer or representative of #EndSars Protesters.

Eventually, OP made it known that he (#EndSar Legal rep) later got it right...

omoadeleye:
Maybe the school clinic is just filled with quack nurses, so they might not be able to handle the situation hence the rejection. But instead of being sincere that they won't be able to treat the boy but they just acted nonchalant. They can only prescribe paracetamol and receive student medical reports from other clinics during registrations.

U have said it all...That's the fact about most State owned tertiary institutions. Most are filled with semi or quack nurses, who can't handle it.

U have said it.... If I said anything, I am just rephrasing what u said....That is the fact.

Freestainworld:
repair, fail to implement the demands of the youths, and see more destruction befalling this country

I can recall how those Agege LASTMA change rule of sitting in a car after the Lockdown day by day.

gaius01:
Arrrrrrrh

The basic truth is, there's nothing really important in that meeting they are going to discuss, even there's one, how to threaten the opposite religion, that's what is obtained.

This kind guys have been on the neck of my dear Plateau for a long time. No be today !!

Several attempts have been made but the fact is they won't scale through, thier plan won't work.

What is so special about 'The History Of Jos and Environment, Pre, During and Post Colonial Era'.? That no Jos indigene was invited? Do they mean they have known alot about Jos than an indigene? And why are they inviting a religious leader in a historical discussion whose not from the state? All this show thier aim is for choas.

I don't want to sound like am hating if not, I will blast those guys. It's very annoying and redicolous !

Well God will see my state safe through ijn.

U have said it all

Much that I tried to avoid social media discuss, but some news and headline will keep calling one attention.

Why will he refer the youths as children?.. He can't be more angrier than the same youths.

To what extent does he condemn the killing in Lekki Toll Gate?.

No one was born and named after as thugs, looters etc... If he has been deprived like other young Nigerians out there, he will understand that all that happens following Lekki shooting are situational and natural occurrence from the oppressed.

It is not only Nigeria has witnessed that in history. So, let all go back to the remote cause- Lekki Shooting and natural cause - hardship, acute poverty, inaccessible social amenities, and poor health care in the country.

Nigerians know that NA will often up with unknown soldiers scenario.

I don't think Nigerians are asking for the name of soldiers that shoot... Who command the soldiers or better still who gave the ordered to the point that soldiers shot at peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate.

That's what Nigerians wants to know...

oluwaseyi0:
But will this selfish politicians ever accept your beautiful suggestion?

I fully agree we need just one house with one state representative each but I think the executive should not appoint the legislator otherwise they will become houseboy to the governor that appoint them

The question of the Legislator being a tool in the hands of Executive is as a result of disservice to the people. A legislator is expected to work with the executive being in a good rapport representing the people's interest.

If the position of Senator in a Unicameral house is left for Public to determine, the chaos and competition and wastage of resources to either conduct election for such post will be much.

The House of Rep Speaker, Appointees, Key Individuals at Corporate level, Activist, etc can be used...just a suggestion...

oluwaseyi0:
But will this selfish politicians ever accept your beautiful suggestion?

I fully agree we need just one house with one state representative each but I think the executive should not appoint the legislator otherwise they will become houseboy to the governor that appoint them

That the politicians won't accepts has been the bane behind a Unicameral.

This will becomes the reality when constituency begins to open their minds on recalling their Honorable constitutionally.

Going back to Nigeria Political History, I am yet to see that happening...that's the key to return power to the people....

Once, people can achieve that at the local level, we can sail through other...

There is no Federal Might without the State, and there is no State might without the locals.

Sterlingsolutns:
I think Fayemi is on point on this.

Give resources to the people you can see, you can touch and feel. When you are aggrieved you air your grievance and they will listen . When they respond and you can't hear them properly you tell them to "soro soke"- Speak out Not the ones that feel unperturbed while the state is burning.

Why did you need a federal ministry of housing when their overhead cost is more than the cost of houses being built? They should dissolve the ministry and send the bureaucrats to their states - This should be a state affair. Why did you need a federal ministry of agriculture when agriculture is being practised at the state level. Rice revolution was anchored by cbn the only thing they do is to distribute fertilizer. Why did you need a federal ministry of power? Akwa generates her own power and can easily distribute if the legislative framework enables her. You create federal ministry of environment, you appoint someone from south west - when you talk about desertification, he doesn't understand, when you talk about erosion he doesn't understand, why do you need such a ministry? Why do you need federal ministry of works when dangote industries has almost finished Ojota Apapa expressway that federal government can not achieve in over 20 years . They should just dissolve the role to the state government and send the bureaucrats to their states

When the federal government gets it wrong everyone is distressed. Like the man said the other time you raised china loan, you construct rail line from kano to Niger You construct rail line that is not going to factories that is not going to mining sites that is not going to port that is of no economic purpose and meanwhile, generation unborn will pay for the loan

I totally support Fayemi on this

Bros, u are the one making a valid point here. Fayemi isn't seeing what u see ohh...


Sincerely, u can imagine the wastage created by all sort of agencies created at the Federal level relegates the State agencies shows on non performance. This is the cause of under development in Nigeria... Let the State control their resources and remit on certain percent that can take care of Federal Exclusive list e.g Security, Power and Infrastructure. State should have welfare, development, healthcare and resource control, education as its State Exclusive List. Local Governments should focus on Implementation of those State Exclusive list in their areas and Local Government Exclusive list should hinge on Manpower development, Skills Acquisition, provision of social amenties good road, water, transportation network.

oluwaseyi0:
The unfortunate thing I've notice about our politicians is that they only canvas for that will benefit their office, all these governors are the one who came together against local government autonomy and I'm sure even if this fayemi becomes president he won't hand over more resources to state and less to the presidency they will rather amass more to their current office, they all know the right thing but will never do them

Same reason we will never have unicameral legislative, the thieves in the house won't agree to what won't pay them

NOBODY IS WILLING TO MAKE NEEDED SACRIFICE

What we suppose to have is a House of Senate (36 in Numbers nominated or appointed by the State Governor) at Federal level only and House of Rep at the State Level as it is presently.

Having both House of Senate and House of Assembly at the Federal level is the problem.

Though the OP want to spare the Governor but want the Local Government Chairman to be responsible, that's what it should be.

But the reality states that in Nigeria practice of Democracy, the Governor have weaken and relegate the Local Government administration.

This has serious affect development.

To settle the matter on ground, the LG Chairman should be able to pass your complaints to the Governor.

That sango road lies under FG/SG, both have been clueless, budget caption on that same road year in year out, still no good road network in Sango axis

zeedof:
Are this people okay? Wait is like they embezzle money from curfew too because I don't know the effect of 12am to 4am curfew...

Abi ooo....Na waoh...

dfrost:
And so?

When all of these guys tell these stories (no shoes, akara boy, corn seller), what will those that really passed through these ordeals now tell? I'm waiting for that one wey e papa buy fast car give, to come tell us as she and her sisters sell dodo kire for Epe. Nonsense and Fashlock.

Sincerely, the crop of leaders keep coming with heart felt story like this when they need to backup their mischief act and manipulate others.

I can't believe it when one of them called a top public officer and friend, that he was at the Endsars Protest Ground, infact that he joined his neighbour to sweep.

This is the same person, that we gathered stroll down to the Lekki Protest Ground and leave same time.

Tomorrow, this same person can come out to sell a story of being an activist.

That's how they roll....
