very stupid governor . is this a mockery or what . a whole governer of lagos state that could easily give the directives to END/DISBAND sars is now joining to protest . i wipe for this country .

Magnoliaa:
C'mon though. Post-independence Nigeria?? The economy wasn't stable and striving and fresh, and growing? [color=#000099]

AND THE POPULATION WAS WHAT? AND 95% OF THE POPULATION WERE ON THEIR FARM IN THEIR RESPECTIVE REGIONS AND VILLAGES. How is it today? Lagos state alone 22m....who is on the farm producing the food for the population to eat??

I just can't give you specific examples, sorry. (Wish someone could help, lol...) But good roads, education, security, light? Investment opportunities? I WAS THERE, I SAW THINGS MYSELF SO NO NEED TO GIVE ME EXAMPLES! Ok how many cars were on the roads? How many homes were connected to the National Grid - very tiny few! Today millions!!!!!

So, say not all could afford the T.V. But people lived comfortably, could meet their needs (needs oh.) (And a reason for that could owe to the "un-complex" ways of life then sha. Lesser distractions, indulgences, pollution, and do on).[/color]
THEY WERE EATING BETTER - 3 SQUARE MEALS WAS NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAD MILLIONS OF PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE ON THE FARM. Today everybody dey Lagos, UNPRODUCTIVE, nobody on the farm so naturally Hunger go kee all of una! And on top you continue to born like rats and the population keeps swelling, for what purpose?

How will you explain the stark disparity in/of world economies (say Nigeria vs. Sweden) If you think our societies are relatively similar in most respect?
NIGERIA IS A FORMER COLONY OF DISADVANTAGED BLACK PEOPLE OF AFRICA. The white colonialist created a world economic system that practically exclude black African countries. Our useless show off life and irresponsible leadership also meant the small money we are making from oil disappeared. We have a lot of millionaires and billionaires whose source of wealth or means of livelihood are not known! So where and how did they make their money (Atiku is an example)




But for things like human dignity, fundamental human rights, and humane beliefs - should or can they not live the best life possible? Poor (in wealth, yes) but not in basic amenities. That's what I'm saying... Some people's poverties are even poor in addition, if that makes sense. THE NIGERIAN STATE CANNOT AFFORD TO GIVE ALL ITS PEOPLE THE AMENITIES MENTIONED! Also the poliosteal the little money available!




Seriously?? So governmental policies, corruption, war and its like, 'stealing' from the citizens, forcefully ejected them from where they stay, mass laying of of people, diseases, natural disasters, and sooo many others are not responsible for creating urban slums? (Choices are just a facet...)
THEY CAN GO BACK TO THEIR VILLAGES TO FARM!


Not disputing.

I dey akure futa area wen u reach mention me I go com meet or u wait till I get to Lagos.

tollyboy5:
Lol see this 1. U think im nobody in my adugbo? I won't touch you b4 you'll see ur sef in kirikiri.

Who are you in Lagos?

ThatFairGuy1:
Majority of those protesters were criminals.

tollyboy5:
Pelé o! Mr solui, special adviser 2 dpo . e kuku ri ise sé. BMC jatiti. Alaini itiju . we stand with masses first b4 confirming what government say. But you believe govt once!

tollyboy5:
cover up stories! The police are not ready to bring guilty police to book. I'll search for the dead police to confirm .
...

Ravern:
Unfortunately Gov Wike cannot ban any peaceful protest. If he abuse his power, he will have himself to blame

Karleb:
They had the greatest economy in the history of Nigeria.

Naira value was the best against Dollar. There was time N1 equals $2. I heard people sent money to their relatives abroad.

Then a government job guaranteed good standard of living.

A certificate guaranteed a job.

Did you know till today some parents don't consider a child who isn't a lawyer, doctor or engineer worthy?

Go to school, get a 9 to 5 job they say. Who would start start-ups if everyone is a 9-5ers? ...and anything other than civil service is fraud.

Religious indoctrination (and tribalism) which is largely responsible for extreme poverty and illiteracy in Nigeria is largely due to the fault of our elders.


Grand mas and Grand pas are not left out too.

Magnoliaa:
And so, it should have been relatively easier to build the nation then, right?
They played a part and contributed to this, that's our point. The corruption started with them and they are still the ones being recycled - yes by the youths.

I've read stories and heard about the past, seen pictures, even from my parents. So they had the 'needed'. Things were good. (A television set for 250 naira, e.g).



I get your point and I know how the mind works. These things are easier said than done. I take care not to judge people without my outlook, environment and access to opportunities from my place.

Not every is strong, not everyone is resilient, positive-thinking and all that. Some people won't be great, don't even want to or desire much. Just to live well. What about them? Why should I not live normally unless I'm aspiring for riches and luxury? Why do I have to depend on dreams to be able to treat myself well in the future, in case I become terminally ill now? If I had an accident walking on the road - what are my chances for survival in a government/state hospital?

I may have gotten a chance from fate to have older ones who influence me, and to live in a good place, but what about people who lives in the slums? Young kids born to parents who prostitute themselves and their kids and are touts? Victims of trafficking, abuse, and in the most vile societal conditions, etc? How can you begin to tell those people to 'think positive' and self-help and see the bright side of life?

If they don't have access to education, or something as small as a book and pen -- where are the factors that'll condition them for success going to come from?

Almunjid:
Earlier on, a husband killed his wife with acid and one blockhead (by name Jim99) said marriage will not pass 21st century. Now that it's a boyfriend and not even husband, hope the same blockhead won't say that relationships won't pass 21st century too?.

Weedhustler:
U be idiot...u wet get sense n no how to rid n right...n person wey no get result be una president...quote me again n thunder go fire u!

Oh boy! You are a disgrace oooo, chai!

Is it ‘read and right’ or ‘read and write’?

See as you disgrace your South East!

Magnoliaa:
Different realities and environment. Older generations had a lot of things we simply do not have, so you can't compare the outcomes 'cos the foundation and resources aren't same for us.

Weedhustler:
Idiot people that can't even read n right...d more reason there useless leaders dey use dem cause problem to dis country

JesusJesus:
Next should be to strike transport workers to regulate cost of transportation and wicked landlords to regulate cost of apartments

Karemarealty288:
See most of the carry placards upsidedown..

tollyboy5:
1diot so tax clearance determines who is from Lagos! even your immigrant son dare not call eimsef omo eko patakii .
You villager go back to your land.

tollyboy5:
Yeah! My potopto is Lagos. I'm not @ home now. I'm in akure. Now mind your state business as we deal with osun immigrant looting us.

Gbogbo yin ti ya werey, e looto lenu.
Eko je central bank fun awon omo osun state?

E ko oshi yin kuro leko , oju lo ma ti yin last last!

DominusPrime:
Yes o...#endcorruption #endyahooyahoo

We can start from bullion van master and then ganduje as well as all the rogues in pdp.

O...I forgot you are Buhari stooge so we can remove ganduje and baba bullion from the list.

tollyboy5:
1diot check my previous thread as far as two years ago. Then mind your state business

VirginSearcher:
All because of 2023.. Mumu man! it is now u are waking up after going to Ondo to rig elections

tollyboy5:
I have start to undislike this man. But your daddy will vomit Lagos money by fire by force.

You cant come from osun state to loot Lagos state as if lagosians are dead!

SLAP44:
History will also be kind to the man whose alliance with a key southern region made the two regions to protest together for the first time. The great Nnamdi Kanu might end up more popular in history than Nelson Mandela.

GOATandYAMtheory:


See small pikin

You will see soonest that the protesters are the greatest losers.

Na Naija government you dey carry play?

Can't you read? These same guys are still in service. They have only been redeployed to some other units pending the time another unit will be created which will be worse than the SARS you know.

What the IGP has done is just to let peace reign temporarily. And every sane person who knows how the government works will expect such... So, boy, wait and see.

Alwaysachick:
Revolution is close

99thEnemy:
Finally, the world is watching

ogaemma:
Are we not sure a possible Revolution is loading.
This was how the Arab spring protest started.
Before you know it, Mubarak of Egypt is gone.
Gadafi of Libya was killed in the street near Serth.
Ben Gladin of Tunisia went on exile.
War broke out in Syria and Yamen.
Nigeria watch out.

tensazangetsu20:
Respect is reciprocal. Who started with the insults. You did. It's very obvious you deserve no respect. Who called me an ignonaramus. You did. You were the first to insult and you shall be insulted. Old fool. idiot. Olodo. Baboon. Porch monkey.

tensazangetsu20:
Old fool. I was at the protest. I have been retweeting. I have also donated to the same protests. Idiots. If you guys were out on the street. Nigeria won't be this horrible. Old people in Nigeria absolutely deserve no respect.
