Yujin:
Edo state will certainly not be worse for it. It's certain that some of those prisoners were innocent people. Releasing them was the best thing to happen today. History is been made.

I hope you're still saying that in a couple of days when crime is running rampant because the "innocent" people probably made up less than 10% of the prison population.

Didn't you think there was a reason why the south was so peaceful because it's stupid to assume that there weren't any criminal in the south while there are so many criminals in Northern Nigeria, so where exactly did you think all the criminals Where being held ?

Please let's end end this protest, what I wanted from the protest was police reforms and government accountability but I can't support a movement that is freeing prisoners and attacking police officers.
#hijacked

Yujin:
What about the 'repentant terrorists' from Borno? Do they deserve it? If they do, then these guys deserve it too.
Freedom for them have come while ours is very near.

EXACTLY, They have been freeing repentant BH members in Borno and currently that is the most dangerous state in Nigeria it is like hell on earth, So is that what you wish to happen in Edo ?

It is sad how easy people believe criminals without any proof, maybe its when they decide show their true colours in the upcoming days that your eyes will open, do you think a rapist will say he raped someone when giving an interview about why he is in prison?

jimmychang:
Oboy calm down nothing is happening and no pity us...the government set this up

You think the same government that has been advocating against police attacking protesters, the same people that have been slowly complying to protesters demands suddenly decided to start attacking police stations and freeing criminals just so they can send the Army to the protesters?

Sadly, These days you don't even need proof to convince people, you just need a Twitter screenshot with a circled date and people will believe whatever madness you throw at them

donprinyo:
mad man how did u confirm their guilt

The fact that they were in prison means they committed a crime, do you honestly think a criminal will be truthful when giving an interview about why he is in Jail?

chuksvee:
However this ends, history has been made.. the next generation will know that we refused to keep quiet, that we tried in our own way to fix Nigeria..

And we failed because we allowed our protest to be hijacked by criminals who ended up freeing prisoners and attacking police stations, and ultimately we made things WORSE for youths

I pity anyone currently living in Edo, the crime rate is about to sky rocket since protest have taken justice into their own hands and decided to free the "innocent" citizens who make up 10% of the prison population along with the other 90% of prisoners who were professional rapists, murderers and Armed robbers

slimfit1:
Falsely accused and illegally detained people are set free. After all book haram are free to move about.
Sorry, but buhari started it Benin people copied him.
If he can reform Boko Haram he might as well open our prisons so that everyone can be reformed.
Sorry if I sound bad but what is good for Uganda is also good for Ghana. I don't condone violence.

I pray all the murders, rapists and Armed robbers that were "Falsely Accused" and "illegally detained" visit you this night

Abeg, its time to end the protest, it has already been hijacked and now only serves to make things worse for youths

Lol...........Buhari should go where ? It's like PDP and IPOB has already hijacked this #EndSARS protest

Its official #EndSARS is no longer peaceful

Nnamdi Kanu is not a Devil but he is a Con artist, he is a scammer, he is a Biafra

More lies.
Niger Delta militants can't be compared to BH, in no way are both of them comparable.

Obviously you don't have much information on BH. They are busy killing people recklessly and kidnapping travellers in masses on roads, especially Abuja-Kaduna Express.
Thinking & believing that military has defeated or is defeating BH makes me to question if you do follow what is happening in this country.

Why are different organizations, even Governor's forum requesting for president to retire or change the military service chiefs ?
If you are a constant traveller in the North, you will know that BH is still spread across many states.


Stop watching NTA

You are clearly mistaking Banditry and the Fulani herdsmen/Farmers conflicts for BH terrorism

humilitypays:
listen, Boko Haram can be defeated by a serious battalion of army in just 3 months!

If you allow Chadian soldiers, they will flush out all Boko Haram in one month!


Boko Haram's perceived strength is assumed based on Nigerian army's failure to flush them out in 1 year!

BH is based mainly in Nigeria, the only reason they were in chad for the army to attack is because we share a border with them but if you look at the current activity of BH, you will realise that they are close to being defeated and that is why they are currently only in Borno, because it is at the Nigerian border and it will be easier for them to escape out of the country when the time comes, people who fled Adamawa/Taraba (states in the Northeast) have returned home and rebuilding has started, people should just be patient BH will soon come to an end.

tonyson010:
Stop lying jor.
They protected BH and nurtured it by protesting each time Govt wages war against BH. Leaders in the North shouted and protested each time Govt fought BH, until when BH started bombing places in Abj, now it is their nightmare.

When Obsanjo gave Amnesty to Niger-Delta Militants and essentially gave them monthly salary for doing nothing nobody cared but now Buhari gives Amnesty to repentant BH members who we can gain information from and suddenly everyone is calling Buhari a BH member, saying that he is nurturing them.

But I will admit Northerner were actually shielding BH in the past but that was because Buhari and his cronies convinced them that "war on BH = war on muslims" so he could get the Muslim vote for the election and it worked,
ironically now that he is president he started a bombing campaign destroying BH bases via airstrikes and even killing fleeing BH members, proudly showing new footage of destroyed bases nearly every week but for some reason Northerners are no longer calling it a "war on muslims"

humilitypays:
Buhari is about to pour petrol on a raging fire, let's see how it goes. Maybe the set time for Nigeria to be free has finally come.

Nigerian youths don't give up. I was with our youths at Lekki Toll Gate yesterday and I was moved to tears. This must not stop until demands are met.


And what these uniform guys don't know is that there are deadlier civilian youths than their bravest commandos. They should not provoke the already angry and frustrated youths.

Most of them are not born warriors, they only got enlisted into Nigerian Army through connections and mago mago army recruitment, which makes it difficult for the right people to join the army, so most of the Nigerian soldiers now are cowards, lily livered that's why they cannot stage a coup despite the bad civilian governments treating them and their welfare like thrash since 1999.

The brave soldiers in Nigeria are all retired, dead and gone, the ones in Nigerian army now are Yahoo soldiers that joined army to quench hunger and unemployment.


For over 10 years now, these same cowardly Nigerian army have not been able to defeat ordinary illiterate Boko Haram militants, talk more of sophisticated youths.

Without gun they are holding, many guys will eat most of our military guys raw, now imagine if more Nigerian youths pick up arms like Boko Haram, Nigeria will burn to ashes, most of these cowardly soldiers and Police forming commando will tear their uniforms and run away like chicken just like they do when Boko Haram attack them ruthlessly.


They only get strength and form brave when they see unarmed youths, but let the same youths form deadly robbery or terrorist squad and grab weapons, these same soldiers will start to pee in their cowardly army uniforms and some will escape to neighboring countries out of fear like they do in Northeast.


Let them borrow some sense, these guys are demanding for a change that will also benefit them and their families, and they won't be extorting, robbing and killing souls to make ends meet as their pay are just a pocket money we give to our boys

Lol from your post I under that you don't know that "Ordinary" Boko haram was once declared the most dangerous terrorist group in the world and the are being backed by ISIS/ISWAP (the same terrorist organisation the US has been fighting for years)

Nigeria has the 4th strongest military in Africa and a fully equipped Airforce including military drones, Maybe you have forgotten that Boko haram used to be a problem for the entire Nigeria but now the only reason people like are even alive to insult the army is because they have been pushed back and now only operate in Borno.

This is good, I don't see the point of protest for changes in a country you aren't located in, it's not like Buhari switches on guys TV and says "OMG nigerians abroad are protest I better listen to them because it is my duty to respond to citizens in another country who in no way affect the economy of Nigeria or presidential elections"

They deserve it, aren't they the ones that are supporting the police and holding Pro-SARS protests

They should take the referendum out of the demands, The FG may agree to rest they will never agree to any thing that could possibly split up the country( I'm not trying to push an Agenda, I'm just being realistic) plus the entire reason people are asking for Restructuring of the government is to avoid break up

operAhdam:
Wtf.. ..civil war loading

Lol.............Civil war, Maybe you think this is USA where everyone has guns

operAhdam:
Wtf.. ..civil war loading

Lol......Civil war, maybe you think this is USA, where everyone has guns

Where is your proof that they are fulani ? Pls stop trying to push your Agenda for disunity and be honest when posting

Lol........minimum wage is 30K and he wants the police salary to be 200K, I agreed that police should be paid more but 200K is too unrealistic

ModestGal:
So your own intelligence is that SWAT would operate like United State FBI and will be so perfect. Intelligence is knowing that with the history of Nigeria as a country, no single created squad is running efficiently, and thus, this wouldn't too. And why intelligent people are demanding they don't want it, they have studied and done what is called critical thinking

Anyone still protesting is either a cyber criminal or an internet fraudster trying to push their Agenda by convincing people that it would be better to let criminals operate freely as opposed to having faith in this new policing unit(or atleast waiting till there is an incident before protesting) , The Govt agreed to disband SARS and accepted the original demands made by protesters, there is nothing more they can do

ModestGal:
People like you are the reason Nigeria is where it is, always instilling fear in people
All this nonsense you spewed, we already know, yes she has bodyguards and we don't, but there's no difference when SARS kill us, its still thesame death.
Simp, go learn some bravery

So your argument is : you would rather let criminals run rampant because you suspect that SWAT(a squad that was literally just announced yesterday and hasn't even started recruitment) may be the same as SARS, this is Stupidity not bravery

Lol.........you guys know all these celebrities leading protests have 24 hrs bodyguards so when the Govt. Ends SWAT(which hasn't even started) and kidnapping/Arm robbery skyrockets they will be okay but how about you, how many bodyguards do you have?

[quote author=Lifediary post=94828146]The above topic in bolded raises a very big question... WHAT MODE HAS THE TROOPS BEEN BEFORE NOW?
Child safety mode

After reading this I no longer support #EndSARS maybe all they need are strong reforms, The unproductive members of society (criminals) are the real ones leading the protest

This is the standard "Kill the messenger throw away the message" attitude of Nigerians and it's really annoying

Nigeria has SARS so we are automatically the worst

Northern states started using sharia Law during Obasanjo time in office, This nonsense is not Buhari's fault however it is his responsibility to stop it
