Na government dey do these things to set up citizens and kill them.
Shebi we warn ụna for 2015
We warned you all about Buhari and fulani but you mocked us and said we arw not sophisticated politically. Today where has the sophistication led you all to?
SW that was cheering military killing IPOB how market?
Now the war is in the sophisticated South west region abi!

Never condone and cheer evil because it may befall you next

The people killed in Aba are actually not human beings. Bigot.

SilverNorGold:
The military must enforce Law and Order... They've even tried. They never interfered in the protest until protesters began looting and burning government properties, including police stations; raping girls, releasing criminals from jail, and engaging in all manner of atrocities..

Yet some are still questioning the military for taking this noble action?

Well, I am very sure, that by now, all law-abiding protesters are off the streets. Therefore, any hoodlum caught by the men in khaki should be dealt with ruthlessly.

Nigeria is not a banana republic.

Nigeria must better.

By now all patriotic Nigerians must resist this blatant act of aggression against innocent Nigerians who are only asking for their rights to be respected.
You are free to go and hide under your bed.

It's too late. This will hang on Sanwo Olu's neck like an albatross for the rest of his life. Murderer.
Who ordered the removal of the cameras at the toll gate?
Who ordered the shootings. Someone must pay for this. Enough is enough.

This is unforgivable in my opinion.

MagicBishop:
Your zomniesm no get cure.

Remain a buharist dunce

Is it your hate for Buhari that turned you to a liar or you have always been a liar?
You don't have to lie to make your point, it doesn't have anything to do with whether you like or hate Buhari.

MagicBishop:

Alailogbon. Conspiracy theorist. CIA ko, KGB ni.

fineboynl:
the Nigeria military would be over stretch countering all protesting states if this resulted to a full blown war, and Nigeria will never recovered from it again.

also considering the fast that most of the soldiers are not motivated seeing they are fighting thier own people and for the betterment of all. if there are any form of weakness from the military during this encountered the protesting youths would calpitalize on it to full revelation and maybe uptown the government.

remembered the youth out numbered the military in numbers. I still think dialogue is the key to end this.

You are completely right. It will be a grave mistake to try and deploy soldiers to all parts of Nigeria at the same time.
We are looking straight at Somalia or Libya.

thebosstrevor1:
CNN and the CIA work together .

CNN is the propaganda arm of the CIA.

The CIA through CNN spread disinformation to target nations.

So you shouldn't be suprised when you see CNN supporting Revolution.

Yeah, and our policemen are actually aliens from Jupiter who stole the bodies of Nigerian policemen in order to deceive us.

Xixtie:
Honestly you all are mad.
Youths will win what this way?
How dare you flout the order of a governor, an order imposed in his bid to restore normalcies?
You stupid nits cheering them on online are the problems here.
You all are hiding behind your keypads to post nonsense when scores are dying out there.
May you get shot for your refusal to say the truth.
What else do you want again? Hasn't the unit be disbanded? Didn't Mr Speaker address his fellow HOR members earlier over the quests of the youths? Why can't you all wait and allow them implement what they've promised to do rather than constituting nonsense.

You need to shut the Bleep up and join the protesters. Bloody coward.

nato20ng:
"If CNN is backing you, then you aren't the ressistance , you are their useful idiots." This is deep!

Very deep to simple minded people, the easily led and conspiracy theorists. By the way, what is the connection between the CNN and # EndSars?

CoderX:
. To those quoting me and insulting me, hope you all can keep up the same energy when things start affecting your family members. Food scarcity is looming, unemployment and insecurity may start being witnessed... Una eye go clear o![/b]

What planet are you on? There's food scarcity already, there's unemployment already and insecurity? What else?

DontBullshitMe:
The Alakara police station in Ibadan that got burnt is the number one reason for unemployment and poverty in Nigeria.

Since we peaceful protesters have burnt it and also killed a few policemen as a plus, unemployment and poverty will be a thing of the past in this country.

#EndSARS!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the most senseless comments I've ever seen on Nairaland. Nothing justifies people being shot in cold blood like we are witnessing. If people get fed up and start shooting back that is when you have a real problem.

Only morons would think it started with Buhari but the solutions are within his powers today.

Imortal001:
Reps ko reptiles ni！ this reps has mentally brutalised the citizens while the police are doing the physical brutalisation.
Nigerians deserve better nigeria！
God bless my country！

What a lot of us don't understand is that the Nigerian police was created by the colonialists to protect themselves from the locals. Nigerian politicians( our new masters) inherited them and kept them same way over the years with little changes here and there.
What other countries in the world do you see policemen carrying handbags for politicians wives?

phelonrays:
Source nko

No source. Probably written by a kindergarten anarchist.

ThreeBlackBird:
I don't blame youths. I have been protesting in front of government house before things went out of hand and idiots joined us in large numbers. They smoke everywhere without regard for some of us who are allergic to the smoke and drink alcohol. They threaten road users with planks and sticks. They messed it all up. I stopped going.

When I see people saying some protesters are government sponsored thugs, I laugh at their ignorance because they've most likely not been to any protest physically. Many of these guys are capable of cause breakdown of law at the slightest opportunity as even on the protest ground, we experienced fight. That was also another reason I stopped going.

I am all in for reform and this fight but honestly, it's bullshit already. On the tarred road to my house, EndSars-inclined thugs are now mounting roadblocks, taking monies from motorists and chanting EndSars. The police aren't even coming to our aid.

What we have now is not a protest. It should end before it gets worse.

The government created this mess by their years of mismanagement and lack of concern for the people.
These people you call miscreants are also victims of a broken society.

PrudencyFeats:
So

I expected Igbo professional photographics to do same by putting up those yoruba celebrities who have led protests in states other thier thier origin.

You have no evidence that any Yoruba is connected with your problem here. And secondly, what made you think Yorubas will react the same way ibos have reacted here by attacking each other?
#Ibo on Ibo violence and hate must stop.

Rugaria:
Will you Go and mine skulls that you are very good at... Imagine this phlegm..

Rugaria! Even your moniker gives you away as a bigot. You need to confine your hate within yourself and your enclave and deal with it before talking about other people. Ibo on ibo hate and violence must stop.

Kyase:
That's the purpose.

I bet. Sanwo Olu should just hire you to bombard them into submission.

Rugaria:
Yes! We intend to run it this way! What's your problem with that?

Shakara! You spend considerable amount of time on Nairaland spewing nonsense about Yoruba yet you can't live in peace with your own people.
Why don't you deal with the hate in Iboland before exporting your hate to other places?

Kyase:
Very good......
Shot at sight order should follow.

Shot at sight ko. Your own bullets are enough to disperse the protesters.

adadike:
The woman is an idiot. If we should send back Enugu indigenes that flock to Anambra on daily basis, the state will not contain them o. No!, Mbakwa o, ndigbo, unu Cho kwa k'oburu to your state o Israel, Anambra dikwa ready, let's try and see who go tire .

Really? These are ibo people like yourself! Is this how you will run your beloved Biafra?

Blackmiserable:
If Kebb, Ilorin or Owerri decides to setup power plants like Lagos, I guess they'd hardly be stifled. There is so much politics and selfish interest in that Lagos decision.

Things like that shouldn't depend on politics, they should be enshrined in the constitution so that each units and each branch of government will unambiguously be aware of what they can or cannot do.

Blackmiserable:
I'm not confused about it. I just don't buy bandwagon mentality.

If individual states would be prevented from bettering the lives of residents, then a restructuring is inevitable and necessary.

But that is what happens when states are handicapped when it comes to things like infrastructure, security, education and many more.
This is not a bandwagon, Nigerians know where the problem lies what was absent until now was the courage to confront it.

Blackmiserable:
In that case, the country needs restructuring. Kilode.

Simple. Why then are you confused about it? That is just one case, I can list 50 more where Nigeria is a federal state in name only.

Blackmiserable:
I like your points. Very sound, I must admit.

Your first point, the smaller units should be stronger, autonomous and independent, even higher than the FG since point 2 is valid?

The third point is hot, but have you looked at the IGR released very very very very carefully?

Most states barely generate enough. Barely. Nothing is keeping them from doing so though and even Lagos State is able to pull that weight because of the FG's multiple investments in that state. But then again, states get allocations based on the revenue they generate so I don't see the problem.

The fourth point is not very valid. If you can raise money, then you're free to do whatever you want with it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Gov Wike decides to provide uninterrupted power supply for Riverians by borrowing funds from China to setup a power plant, who could stop him? No state is dragging any other state bro.

On the 5th point, they have not explored those areas because in a sense there's nothing to explore. All the have explored is still not enough to meet their needs and restructuring would not create any urgency. And even if it does, the result is the same

Tinubu tried to set up independent power plants for Lagos state like your governor Wike's analogy, go and find out what happened to that effort. It was frustrated by the Federal government.
So, if you borrow money maybe you can do anything you want with it in other places but unfortunately not in Nigeria under our warped federalism.

Dubious questions. Look no further than the constitution Nigeria got at independence. If you are not fully satisfied check out other federal constitutions like the Canadian or the Australian constitution. It is like driving a keke Napep and asking what is the difference between it and a Ferrari.

jchioma:
It takes a mentally unstable person to know one.

Falz is a brilliant and intelligent young chap who is passionate for change. And like many youths out there wants to see things change for good in their lifetime.

If every youth was as proactive as Folarin, by now, we would have gotten somewhere in the quest for a better Nigeria.

There are some people you just have to ignore. They have nothing upstairs only to come online to display their foolishness.

Crap.

There was a friend of mine his last name was Airiri. One day I asked him the meaning of his name, he laughed and said it means something that has never been seen before.
I told him that is exactly what it means in Yoruba. I believe the Itshekiri language is just another dialect of Yoruba.

EXOUSIAng:
Don't just open your mouth waaaaaaahhh and start mentioning me, didn't you read what OP who was on ground wrote??
The pictures you see there do they look like protesters or people just standing around.
He has posted more than 5 pictures and we all we see are people playing ball, standing around, no sign of protest.
If this is how we in Lagos and those in other states have been carrying out protest you think we would be taken seriously....
IF YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT READY TO JOIN THE PROTEST GO BACK HOME, DON'T GO AND PLAY BALL ON THE STREETS AND CALL IT PROTEST, WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING BALL ON THE STREETS OF LAGOS FOR AGES, NO BE PROTEST BE THAT.

Where in the original post did you get the impression that all the protesters did was play? Did the governor leave his official duties to come and address people who were just playing?
And most importantly do you have a problem with compression?
You saw only a couple of pictures and you concluded the protesters were there playing! Yeah, a few people were seen playing but how is that different from other people who danced?

EXOUSIAng:
This is not a protest, you people went out to play music, and play ball. to cut the long story short EKITI YOUTHS WENT OUT TO PLAY.
And it is disheartening that you guys still think this is just an avenue to lounge around.
I no wan vex this evening abeg....
nobody there is even holding a placard...
DJ playing since morning
Footballers and Basketballers are here..
Is that supposed to be a picnic or jamboree...
I mean Whaaatt The Actual Fvvvcckk?

Were you at Ekiti to know exactly what went on there? What gave you the impression that everyone out there was there to play?
