If Zamfara can control 100% of their Gold, if CBN can buy gold from zamfara with money that was gotten from South ,
Then Niger delta should control their own resources too, this is simple logic.

Commonsense99 you are making a very valid point. So Zamfara owns the gold abi?
What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander. Choi see cheating. Govt is now buying gold from a state but dey no wan buy crude oil.

comfokon:
were you there? what you said is totally different and don't try heaping the blame on the prison guys because you don't know the demand of their job. if anything happens to those prisoners, their job and life is on the line. They should have turned back when stones and projectiles were hurled at them.

So didn't they still turn back? They shot a guy and ran over another one. In the end they still did what they were told to do in the first place,where's the sense?

They were transporting prisoners, so didn't they still transport them after killing two people?

Forget work pressure abeg, that's what they are trained to do. There wasn't any threat like people were trying to free prisoners, the prison guy was just trigger happy.

comfokon:
stop telling Lies, the protesters were throwing stones and pure water at the prison van conveying prisoners, and BTW, why would you tell a prison van returning prisoners to the prison to go back, they should go back to where?

You must be one of the dolts I referred to.

So what's the difference with what I said caused the escalation? What got people mad to the point of burning properties down?

Or wasn't someone shot? So if protesters tell you to turn back, the penalty for their offence is a headshot? Sometimes I wonder how some people reason. The prison van could have just diverted and used Uyo village road if they had sense and that would have saved some lives and properties.

Prior to that sad incident, a whole police commissioner was also turned away by protesters at same spot. Why didn't the CP drag and show superiority by using force?
Or the CP wasn't smart?

Thebrainmaster:
Fake news

This happened as a result of a prison official shooting and killing two #EndSARS protesters. People got upset and started setting buildings on fire.

Kirchoffs you be correct guy. I like your deduction.

Newzik:
People build the army and people build the government and in the hands of the people the destruction of evil government lies. No army is stronger than the will of the masses. Nigeria has expired, let's not try to mend broken bottle. Let's negotiate our way out.

Very true. The power resides with the people. Unfortunately most times the people don't realize that.

homosapien:
I think independent candidate is allowed sef incase inec want to behave.

It would be better if the youths float a party or join an existing one with a youth theme like Youths Democratic Party.

We must take over governance in 2023. Most of these old men in power were already in govt when they were youths, so what changed? I'd say greed made them cling to power at all cost to the detriment of developing the country.

homosapien:
Only if those energy used for Endsar can be channel towards floating a political party, getting voter cards, and coming out to vote and protection of the vote during election.

But am afraid, Nigeria got short memory

I agree with you on this 100%

The youths need to register a party, nominate candidates for various positions starting from the president.
Ensure every youth has a PVC and vote on the election dates. APC/PDP are just full with the same old men that failed, we can't let the recycling continue, it's about time we effect real change.

Camos:
Heard properties were destroyed in Akwa Ibom today and there was lot of Gun shot around Ibom plaza



Akwa Ibom that is always peaceful..

The issue escalated because a dolt working for the prison services in Uyo opened fire on an armless protester and ran over another one thereby killing two people this afternoon just because the protesters had told them to turn back. The chaos that followed was just the aftermath of the uniform guy's action. I'm just wondering who trains these guys in uniform. Most of them are so unprofessional.

Well said. Kudos.

Mikehot:
For those carrying BP on behalf of south for their recent activities hope you remember buhari promised to make Nigeria ungovernable for gej.

He wasn't coming to South to do that but north which was why the Boko Haram, bandits where created.

You claim south is burning it's structure but north has been doing so since ages via Boko Haram and banditry yet they are profiting from this business of anarchy with same southern wealth.


The jittery north has always been anarchist themselves at every instance but use it selfishly to benefit themselves.

South took the anarchy card as it's last resort to effect a genuine change.

Nothing is happening in this country, so let's just put an halt to these distraction called business, school's etc so we can understand how doomed Nigeria is.

I don't condone violence but didn't they say when the people have nothing to eat they become cannibals?

Can you squarely differentiate if the looting is criminality or hunger, you can't until you prove the people are more than catered for.


People aren't scared of the established authorities anymore, justice- standard of living - Infrastructures are the the principles for controlling a population not just an institution of persons

But lasgidi is green. So your analogy isn't accurate.

The thing is; the dude doesn't care about the South. Like Trump said 'after elections, there are consequences.' The Southerners who voted him made a horrible mistake. This is the result.

The priest is spot on!

It will happen because the so called elites aren't listening.

Mgbadike80:
*Who is afraid of the Nigerian Youths Revolution?*

Last night the Federal Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed was on the National Television, the NTA, ostensibly to educate Nigerians on what the Buhari government has done to pacify the EndSars Nigerian Youths protesters.

Maybe due to the weight of the subject or the scare most the government people have received since the protests started, Mr. Lai Mohammed, looked pale and sickly. He was beside himself without his usual gift of sophistry. And he, of course, laboured hard to do justice to the topic.

I was not convinced in the least. I do not know about you.

During the course of the programme, Alhaji Lai kept repeating the fact that the government had granted all the requests of the protesters and yet they have refused to leave the streets and allow for a free flow of human and vehicular traffic.

He even went as far using the unfortunate incident at Osun State involving Governor Gboyega Oyetola as a case study that the protests have been hijacked by what he called, " the enemies of the country". And he, like other highly placed Nigerians and the beneficiaries of the lopsided system Nigeria operates, is frantically looking for the the sponsors of the EndSars Movement.

In a note of resignation, Lai Mohammed who eventually occupied a major portion of today's Radio Nigerian news with his preachment on the futility of continuing with the protests, asked, "What do the protesters want?"

I will answer him right away.

Mr. Lai Mohammed, Nigerian Youths are tired of the system that has made Nigerians fugitives, refugees, and victims of government insensitivity, in their own country. And there are thousands of reasons for such a protest to go on and on.

While the problem did not start with the Buhari government but an objective analysis of his administration will reveal a sinister plot of the gradual *Northernization* of the Nigerian Federation.

Never in the history of this country has a President been this insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. Nor is there any comparison in our history of the kind of ethnic agenda the Buhari government is a champion of.

I will help you out again.

*are all headed by the people from the North*

Buhari has *captured* Nigeria for his people.


What Othman Danfodio could not do with his sword. What Ahmadu Bello failed to achieve despite his aristocratic posturing. What IBB never contemplated even with his guile. What Abacha never thought of with his brashness and devil may care attitude.

*But Buhari has done it.*

And will someone inform Mr. Lai Mohammed that none of the federations that were structured the way Nigeria is now ever lived to tell their stories?

Nigerian Youths want besides a holistic *Police Reform*,

*Judicial Reform*
*A People's Constitution*
*Electoral Reform*
*Civil Service Reform*
*Access to opportunities*
*End to Quota System*
*Reduction in the Cost of Governance*
*Health Sector Reform*
*Education Sector Reform*
*End to the State of Origin Requirement*
*Transparency in Government business,*
among others.

If President Buhari cannot guarantee the fulfilment of these demands in record time, then let him resign and go home.


In the meantime, *Let the Protests go on. Nigeria belongs to the Youths!*

*GoldFacts...the truth as it is*

God bless you abundantly Sir.

If this information is correct. This man will surely pay for the blood of the innocent souls.

2by40ft:
Nonsense and ingredients.
We don't talk just do what we do thats y u are always miserable

Really you don't talk?! Yet this article is about a fulani group taking responsibility for an attack. Oh I forgot you aren't the sharpest tool in the box.

It will come as a ride awakening to you.

2by40ft:
Saying this rubbish since only God knows when.
We are shaking

It's a message. A word is enough for the wise. But I doubt you are wise enough to decipher. E go be

These people should remember that nobody has monopoly of violence. They'll be shocked!!!

Coming from the lying machine himself

Who is Joe Igbokwe?

He sounds like a looney.

This strategy by govt was already anticipated so no surprise there.

The protest continues.

#EndSars.

#Endbadgovernance.

selemo:
Though they are still working on it comrade.

Okay comrade. A step in the right direction.

selemo:
Southern part of Nigeria.

Okay. By who? This should be breaking news if it were true.

Please give more details.

The announcement was made at where?

Yus2020:
Akwa ibom youths are the wost set of people so foolish

You didn't read the part that they rejected the cash?

You sound foolish.

Not surprised, a known drunk made INEC commissioner.

Says everything about this govt.

Nice one.

Rugaria:
Bros before the war, the regions controlled 50% and left the rest to the feds... 25,% is insulting... They have stolen all oil revenue and are now targeting gas. Do they pay taxes on their cows and groundnuts sells? We should be advocating for 100% resource control... They have stolen enough...

Correct talk. 100% resource control...it's been long overdue. It's about time that happens. It will encourage creativity, ingenuity and loads of innovations. It will bring out the best in each state. I don't advocate for the regional system because it will lead to marginalization some people will be oppressed in that system. Instead maintain the current states, but let the states have 100% control of their resources. Let the states be able to develop without waiting for someone in Abuja to approve.

No be only fireball.

Buruntai na thunderball go fire you dey

Bloody clown!!!

Shows that power still belongs to the people.

Regardless of the fact that there'll just create a new name for SARS.

This should be an eye opener to our leaders. You can be ousted if people are willing to unite.

I'm unfollowing him immediately
