btaliat: I hate quoting people but I think I need to quote u. Before I even air my opinion, lemme ask u some questions, is killing the best strategy Nigerian army Wil think of? Even if those people that were aimed at were hoodlums, do they deserve to die fighting what's justifiable? Or do u even enjoy the life u ar living as a Nigerian and if u do, do u care for the common man at all?
The people wearing uniform are Nigerians too. That is how the average guy thinks, they came out to burn and loot. Hope you know many people earn the 300 naira that they would use to eat before they eat?
People are locked indoors, the sooner peace is restore the better we avoid real life starvation. What about if those boys are Hot (since clubs and hotels are closed, it would be group rape? How long do you think before this starts?)
omokab: keep your dirty mouth shut! Oba of Lagos is the SARS or chief in command of security? The IBO's and political thugs in lagos have highjack the protest . they are using the oppornity to venge their anger of what has happen in the past to Bola tinubu and now to oba of Lagos. Why are they not attacking he PDP chiefs and IBO chiefs in Lagos if they are truly in appraisal attack? What has tinubu did to them that are shouting tinubu up and down. They want to week his army against 2023. God is powerful than them. They should go to Abuja to vent anger on Sturborn buari and the national assembly. They should not destroy our land here. This is what awolowo against in Biafra war that make IBO's to hate him till today.
I think they feel these guys are in power and are responsible for rebranding Buhari who is not fit for office. It would be different to old an Ibo Chief responsible but they might loot his property for gain.
It seems more youths might be killed again. Unfortunately.
luluman: Yes ofcourse, but hope we will not own ashes & charcoal later.
During the World War 2 The whole of Europe was bombed to the ground. It looked like Syria or Yeman. They built it because they were one and focus on development. The distraction should stop but a untied country would do in 10 years what Nigeria can never do in the next 40 years.
Obviously, these guys don't have anything to lose.
herzern: We have outlived traditional leadership. Job well done.
Especially the uncolonized traditional leader. Their power is ceremonial but sometimes they start believing their own BS. If they can act as a positive influence then they can be allowed but right now, I would prefer a professor of Traditional Matters to be the one preserving those culture not a random fool chosen by birthright.
Patriotic9ja: You are right to assume. But not to conclude that it is definitely a government vehicle, that is wrong. I have Lexus gx460 but not a government official. I also have a ford mustang car and not a Yahoo Yahoo man or celebrity. I have small Honda ACCORD and I'm not into Uber. So the OP/Moderator shouldn't conclude because it was a prado jeep and the guy was wearing suit... That's misleading and wrong profiling. The same crime we accuse policemen of is what we are now displaying
Keep being in denial. We are not in a court room. Those with functional brains can apply common sense and join 2&3 together... There are not many private individuals who would use that vehicle to carry a group of sub-humans to challenge protesters. They want a smooth escape should things get out of hands.
It has to be government vehicle to not care if it is confiscated or vandalised. Enjoy your blissful ignorance. Cheers!
ItsReal: WHEN THE PROTESTS MATURE TO FULL BLOWN ANARCHY NOTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND LOVE:
1. ```The 14 to 45 year old males will be bearing arms directly whether or not they like it. About half of them will die within the first year of conflict. At least 30% of females in this age range will be raped and probably killed.```
2. ```The bulk of 0 to 13 year olds will grow up as orphans. 10% will be killed in the first year and another 50% will perish from neglect in subsequent years.```
3. ```The population above from 46 to 65 years will have their dreams finally destroyed and will die out rapidly from lack of a will to survive the hardship and stress.```
4. ```The population above 66 years will have no support to survive and will die slow lonely deaths, some through starvation and neglect.```
5. ```Crime rates will multiply ten fold given the unbridled access to arms and ammunition. There will be no safe havens given current trends.```
6. ```Life expectancy will drop to 21 years from the current 47 years.```
7. ```If the conflict lasts longer than one year the worlds largest refugee problem would have been created. Nigerians will flee into Niger,Togo, Ghana, Chad, Benin Republic and Cameroon. A one way journey for most as these countries are completely unprepared for the potential influx of humiliated Nigerians.```
8. ```Through CNN, Aljazeera, SABC, BBC and other media houses we will become the global laughing stock with no idea of what next to do.```
9. ```Present day uncompromising voices will run away to safety. Shamelessly so. The afore mentioned victims will be drawn from ordinary folk.```
*No one (North, South, East, or West, Christian, Muslim etc) will be immune.*
*BETTER TO TALK PEACEFULLY,_EVERY ARTICLE OF RELATIONSHIP AS A NATION CAN BE NEGOTIATED PEACEFULLY._*
*NON-PARTISAN WARNING.*
Most of the youths would not even touch a weapon as they would be rounded up and executed. That is how war works.
Realtalk20: Simple because they know most of the youth are cowards who can't stand and take action
Look at last night's shooting in Lagos ..m everyone is twitting instead of burning down every single government owned building
So what have you done? I would join when it becomes #EndBuhari The country is on autopilot. Even that post was probably scheduled. No head of the Federal Government. I do not support beating around the bush.
babzlim: Am sure if Buhari was alive he would have said something about the situation. Nigeria, which way
In 2011 (am not sure), he lost election and his supporters killed the NYSC members conducting election. Buhari refused to condemn thier BRUTAL killing and never did.
Poor timing. He either unaware of the situation or they scheduled the post.
That man might be a double (a Buhari look-a-like).
Anyway, in some part of the country, there is no sign of the protest. 100 kilometers from where I stay, they was violence but in my town, no sign of the madness Nigeria is going through right now. That is life.
Tinubu while working under the delusion that the North would support him come 2023, didn't speak out on time & disassociate himself from this madness.
The very moment they was rumor of shooting (around 6pm), he should have made a statement. This is Lagos, you very own backyard and not some distance land.
Xlyad: Sleepy Joe, the CNN and the Democrats brought this regime upon us . They should keep their mouths out of this as we don't know what other agenda they're brewing.
Mysticwebb: When you know that if you shoot someone's child unjustly, your child will be marked out and killed too no matter which part of the world he/she maybe, then this heartless action of law enforcement and government agencies will stop. If unjust action receives equal magnitude of unjust reaction, all will be forced to think twice before executing callous orders from their superior.
fatymore: All enablers of violence will never know peace.
This isn't funny..
Toll gates money more precious than lives.
Is that the only protest ground?
Anybody justifying these killings shall not know peace
The people on social media has to be careful. If you don't panic or fight, they would not shoot at you. They are shooting in the air (it is dark) and the sound would make the political thugs to stay away. I don't know who the f set that fire. They would not let ambulas in because it could be smuggling weapons and camera. Anyway, it is a long time before day break. Anything can happen between now and then.
In this video; a brave solider advice his comrade not to shot at civilians. He is obviously serving his nation as he was in a tent with insect sound at the background.
Explaining that those dying for our nation are paid N50k monthly when a bag of rice is N30k. So the fight of the civilian is also the fight of the youths in the military. You know, rationally explaining that if things are working as they should be, they would be no need to protest or deploy soldiers on the people they were to protect.
In case you guys don't know, our country is breaking. This was how Boko Haram started (the ransacking of police-stations and extra-judiciary killings).
Nemere2020: Former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has sued the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, over the resultant violence that has marred the #EndSARS protests rocking the nation.
Dorsey had expressed his support for the #EndSARS protests across the nation.
