DaddyJapan:
You have clearly never been on a protest before or even organised one. So it is perhaps understandable that your question is akin to asking why the organisers of #OccupyNigeria were not the ones who were killed.

On a different note, it appears this one was so poorly organised that there was no proper co-ordination between its leaders. When our jack boots began firing tear gas, Sowore clearly scampered in one direction while the others were caught flat-footed.

If the crime was that they participated in an unlawful protest citing court order. Surely the organiser who was also at the protest should be arrested.

Whether a bullet hit a protester or not is a question of location at the time of violence. There was no violence from the protesters to the best of my knowledge. Like you cited the only violence against these protesters was from the police firing tear gas.

Running away from the police does not absolve you of a crime if indeed a crime was committed. So if your logic is that Sowore ran away and his crime vanished then the whole arrest is injustice.

What about the organiser of the rally?

I am not understanding the Nigerian Police. So Sowore that organised the rally is free but some protesters were arrested. Did they destroy public property? NO. Did they injure anyone? NO Did they loot any shop? NO

They have a right to peaceful protest. Tinubu should prevail on this overreach by the Nigerian Police.

A post doc and a professor?

Silly statement. Football is governed by rules. You lost because you didn't qualify.

Gowon was the Head of State, Ojukwu was the governor of Eastern region under Gowon's command. To threaten your commander in Chief with cessation is treason. Well he tried his luck and lost and sent his people backwards by 100 years. The rest is history.

Iyawo kan, wahala kan

Iywao meji, wahala meji

Obi talks too much sha

Everybody is thinking about 2031. To get their wish in 2031 they need to support Tinubu in 2027.

Tinubu would likely choose his successor as he did in Lagos and arguably still doing. It's not the love of Tinubu or the APC but the best vehicle for their personal ambitions.

They will overwork for Tinubu in 2027 to show they are the best to deliver 2031. I pity Atiku and Obi at this stage cos they will be beaten balablu in 2027 if things remain thesame

Who be coalition again?

This one is warming up for hire

Politicians and dribbling. By next week now he would be singing "on your mandate"

Illiteracy is a disease

Coalition of rejected politicians. This is confusion

The highest ranking ADC member in Kogi state who is currently in the House of reps (Hon Leke Abejide) is openly supporting Tinubu.

ADC is not serious

Which party is the coalition party again?

There is playoffs

Wrong decision. What is wrong with these guys?

You want to take 6 months to handover power or make it difficult for the next administration?

Even the US do handover in less than 80 days. What are you handing over in Nigeria that would require six months after election victory?

Court process should not be rushed either. Let the judiciary do their job. Why must a judgement be given because of time limit not based on facts. There must be a time frame for filing complaint but you cannot legislate completion of legal cases. It can go as long as it runs.

This set of legislatures should all be retired. You changed the national anthem and suddenly no one knows how to sing the national anthem including the legislature that changed it. Now you want to destroy the electoral process. To what end?

Shagari granted amnesty to Ojukwu who led millions to their death in his agitation for Biafra and committed treason against the Nigerian state.

This is the essence of presidential pardon. To give pardon to those who do not deserve it

9jasmart:
Must they copy america on everything. Or is there hiddenotive behind thus.

America holds presidential election in November and swear in the president in January a period of less than 80 days.

You cannot command the judiciary that they must rush into judgement within 45 days. This bill is taking us backwards not forward

You can't rush the court process.

Leave it as it is. Don't break it

This man sha. He talks too much.

The title means Head of Fulanis in Lagos. A recognition that they are aliens in Lagos but they have their leader

Lagos is very accommodating and everyone has lived in mutual peace with no party disrespecting the other until ipob showed their hand.

Tinubu appointed several Ibos into his cabinet as governor. Nobody made any noise

Many Tapa families are now indigenous Lagos families

Now you have ipobs aka developers saying Lagos is smelling, Lagos is no man's land, they wanted to burn down Tinubu's investments in Lagos, burnt down BRT bus terminals, burnt down world class forensic Lab at the direction of Nnamdi Kanu. The Ibos destroyed their good will and it will take decades to rebuild that. Ontop of that the Tinubu that had done more for Ibos as a governor was rejected at the presidential ballot. Now that Tinubu became president despite Ibos non support, it makes it more complicated for Ibos. And I think being loud about nonsense is not a wise move for Ibos

osuofia2:
Wike is the bride, Atiku would want Wike by his side

Atiku will not touch Wike with a pole. Nobody wants a criminal by his side. It's like saying Yahaya Bello is your best ally and you are telling Nigerians that you are different to APC. Nobody will believe that joke. The reason Yahya Bellow is a no go area is how EFCCC exposed him for stealing Kogi State money. People know most politicians are thieves but no details of their theft hence they walk around freely. Once EFCC expose the scale of the theft. It is over. Rochas Okorocha was one of the high flyers in APC until DSS entered his house and painted him a criminal to Nigerians. You don't recover from such stigmas easily

osuofia2:
The Truth is Tinubu needs Wike more than Wike needs him, Sahara reporter and fake news

lol. Do you know what it means to be GCFR and current President of Nigeria.

EFCC alone is enough to return Wike to his beginning. Somebody said "after God na government"

Take this scenario as example:

1. EFCC, DSS arrest Wike on corruption charges (FCT minister has no immunity)

2. Tinubu sacks Wike as FCT chairman appoints XYZ

3. Fubara decamps to APC

4. EFCC assisting FBI in investigating Wike's money laundering

5. Wike absent at PDP's convention


Wike's power is subject to having political goodwill and support of the presidency. PDP does not like him, ADC does not like him, Rivers State governor does not like him. If he looses favour with the president he is toast.

God bless you Sir. I was born in ECWA and we have experienced killings of our members since I was of age. I know my friends in the South have no idea of the persecution until Bokoharam declared a public war.

It is all jihad. The violent religion that claims to be peaceful is raiding the country. Just like ISIS they want an Islamic caliphate. They cannot persuade anyone to follow their violent religion rather they conquer lands with deception & violence and force people to accept their religion and to leave Islam is death. They even see their children as infidels if they leave the religion. Muslims are conquered people. They are not allowed to question anything. Just research the life of Mohammed and you will be out of the religion asap.

Atiku the politician

Kanu is going through the court system.

Atiku should be advocating for the arrest of those bandits coming to meeting with guns

North central gets it

These were thesame words obidients have consistently used to describe those who refuse to support their Agulu master.

Ex-obedients now use it on obedients

Now she's sat exactly where they wanted her with no more shouting and drama.

Now she knows any unruly behaviour na another suspension she go chop

Toady's politicians have cut the tree that allowed them to climb.

They have monetized politics. Contesting election in Nigeria is more expensive than starting a shoe factory.

Fiscus105:
He cannot survive this, he should have resigned to his fate and bow out in shame.


......but he is to be Yoruba minister now, they would have labelled govt all sorts of damaging foul language, saying protecting him because he is from Yoruba.

What are you even saying?

Yoruba is an ethnicity. You cannot be from Yoruba. You are either yoruba or you are not. There are Yorubas from Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast, Brazil, the USA and so on

Politics sha

The most abused word in religion is "pastor"

Many of these so called pastors today do not know Christ. They do not preach the gospel of Jesus Christ but they preach another gospel like the one Tobi is preaching here.

The bible says let them be "accursed"

Jesus himself when he took on flesh lived as a poor man. The bible says he was not an handsome man either. His parents sacrificed two pigeons at his dedication in the temple because they could not afford a lamb. This provision was only made for poor people in the law of Moses.

Jesus lived a simple life raised by poor parents. He knows poverty, he knows suffering. Yet he is saving both rich and poor so that in Christ there is neither Jew, nor gentile, rich or poor, men or women, black or white but sinners turned to saints
