ArmedRobber:
but you re desperate to make it look like he singlehandedly spearhead the protest in
Lagos
Ogun
Oyo
Osun
Edo
Delta
Rivers
Abuja.

Runtown falz, e.t.c protest didnt even last till evening before the went home and never came back till now.

Aisha yesufu has been in abuja protest since Thursday till today facing policemen attacking the protesters

Aisha yesufu is the number hero of the protest with the guys that lost their lives during the protest in ogbomosho, plus those that were arrested and still in detention till this moment

But he started it, he set the ball rolling. It doesnt matter if he went back to sleep after 5 minutes, the most important thing is, he set the ball rolling.

wizzakosh:
What did runtown do. Tell us his intervention, what did he intervened?

He started it, that's what he did

ArmedRobber:
shut the Bleep up.
There re alot of celebs on ground that didnt make noise about the thursday protest.
While falz runtown, tiwa salvage organised protest in lekki, mr marcaroni too led protesters to lagos house of assembly in alausa ikeja that same day, they slept till the next day on the floor while falz and runtown went back home.
Runtown didnt lead protest in the whole of lagos, ogun, oyo, osun, abuja, Edo and delta states

Runtown was the main celebrity that started the protests, while other celebrities later came out and joined; nothing can change that.

Naira Marley made some noise initially about starting it, but backed down. Runtown is the one who made it clear he was staging the protest and bot backing down and he kept to his word.

Some mumus have already turned it to tribal chest beating... tufiakwa!

oloriooko:
I can't believe some eediots still vote APC

If there're still people who vote PDP, then it shouldn't surprise any sane person that there would be those voting APC.

princemillla:
Am hating all this bad belle thing.

Ogundamisi I supposed is a learned fellow. This woman gave a lecture at one convocation ceremony explained how her mum was kidnapped by an u known people who demanded she back out from a certain contract. Wasn't that genuine reason to know she could not have raise much alarm about goings in the entire system?

Nija doesn't worth sacrificing for in any level.


I would av resigned if I were in her shoe but.....

Kayode from what I see, only quoted a statement in a book pointing out a situation which opponents might use and which might be a setback for NOI. How did you (and several others on this thread) even interpret that to mean "Kayode is having bad belle"?

ThatFairGuy1:
Transgression. Causing more havoc. No civility.

Why should #EndSARS be much more taken serious than the fuel and electricity hike, NASS and CJN humongous budget if not that most youths are into frauds.

do not end SARS, reform it. ONLY criminals want it scraped completely.


Quote me and show you're among the fraudster

Modified
Since I have been a member of this honourable forum for years, I have the highest numbers of quote with this post of mine. I think we all know what this depicts!

Once again, DO NOT END SARS, REFORM IT. Only criminals want it scraped completely. #ReformSARS #ScrapSenate

Reform it by passing law which won't let them violate Human right,

Harsh punishment for human right abusers,

No shooting not even a suspect,

recruiting civil and professionals, not criminals as we have among them and sorts.

Nigerians did not protest fuel subsidy removal because majority of those who could have led the protest understood the necessity of its removal. Likewise for electricity tariff subsidies.

As for NASS and their devilish budget, they will have their day very soon. Something has to ignite the rage.

Finally for SARS, the name 'SARS' and its very essence has totally been compromised. When the people meant to be protected are now more scared of their supposed protectors than criminals, then that calls for serious reevaluation; the 'reset button' has to be punched.

No doubt the SARS guys are a nightmare to yahooboys and other fraudsters, but when the so called Anti-Robbery Squad now constitute themselves as broad daylight armed robbers, robbing and maiming both fraudsters and numerous law abiding citizens, it would be myopic and outright ignorant to think those calling for its total ban are sympathetic to fraudsters. You cannot reform pigs, beasts and degenerates, same way you can't reform boko haram terrorists. Only sad thing about SARS is that even if banned, the beastly personnel would be reabsorbed into the normal police force where they'd continue their robbery and terrorism.

Hopefully you dont fall victim of the SPECIAL ANTI-ROBBERY SQUAD very soon.

LosC:
That's not a Nigerian Police Officer

What is he?

The only sad thing about the #EndSARS is that ending SARS will not end the menace.

Thr beasts who perpetrate those crimes were recruited as bormal policemen, and drafted into the SARS unit. Scrap the SARS unit and the beasts would be returned to the normal police force where they will still continue their broad daylight robbery with their AK47s...

Final candidate will be chosen in November. Wonder why anyone is talking of or believing anyone has been selected in early October.

Rugaria:
It is a campaign gimmick! All for the photos..No dredgings, so how can the Onitsha port function? Basically the roads to and from the Lagos ports are now totally clogged thereby increasing the cost of transporting containers across Nigeria. You have to cough out over a million naira to transport a container to Abuja or Kaduna from Lagos! Using barges to bring in some of the containers to onitsha for onward transportation to the north can't happen without onitsha businesses accessing such facilities..

The next problem will be with the Onitsha bridges which are very low. Since the talk of the second Niger bridge started, experts have suggested that the bridge should be constructed in a way that ships can pass underneath in the future. There were also suggestions for rail tracks across the bridge to be considered. None of those have taken place. So we now have a new bridge being constructed without such plans all to spite the east. But in the long run, it also means that bigger ships can't access any ports being considered for construction up north like in Lokoja etc. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your tribal face..

So in essence, you're saying the reason the onitsha bridge is low is to spite or punish Igbos?

Barbarism!

Anyway the feloows in those locations supported the establishment of Sharia law. On several occasions they even went about slaughtering thise opposed to the stupid repressive laws.

tiger28:
Oga Charlie has gone QUIET after collecting his 100M Bribe......All these Activists are just after their stomachs Including Sowore and Kanu abeg!

Nigerians would actually swallow anything they're told. N100million, for what exactly? For selling what value?

horsepower102:
Point of correction, the concession process started under GEJ but Buhari came in and shut it down.

It was because of shipping companies started threatening to pull out of Lagos because of gridlock that Buhari finally gave in.

The desperation by some fellows to hail GeJ and vilify PMB couldn't get more ridiculous and shameless.

bhella10:
Well I know what revolution is about but the kind of revolution every Nigerian would have wanted is the Malian revolution if know what I mean.

Whatever happened in Mali only worked because it was backed by the people. How can you want the Malian solution yet anyone who dares to start/lead it, you sit behind your computer and run them down? How exactly do you then want it to happen? You want God himself to come down and lead it?

The bizarre part of all these is, even when you expect the politicians and those in govt to be the ones pulling them down, it's actually the ordinary Nigerians who claim to want a revolution that do the pulling down. Wonderful!

bhella10:
If you were Sowore himself and I asked you same question but unfortunately this what you could muster, bro you just lost a potential follower. I expected you to be savvy with your reply. I'm disappointed.

Well, please allow me to rant; I am not Sowore, but I can only imagine what he feels when he sees comments from Nigerians online. Reading these comments and examining our collective mentality, it becomes clearer and clearer that Nigerians are just complex humans who seem to rather prefer the status-quo of squalor and wailing than finding a solution.

You cannot claim you don't know what 'Revolution Now' is all about, you cannot claim you're unaware that nothing works in Nigeria, that leaders are all rogues, resources squandered, future wasted etc. You say yo were disappointed in my response, were you expecting that I come beg you to be 'angry' with what's going on in Nigeria? If you're happy with the way things have always been, well, it's up to you, I don't need to start preaching or convincing you on anything.

Just recently, billions looted in the guise of pandemic, NDDC officials sharing billons to themselves as personal palliative, senators collecting N20m pandemic hardship allowance each, while hunger kills the real people who need the palliatives. All the noise made during those public hearings and probes have since died away and nobody dares to say anything publicly or stand up to these people for the fear of police bullets. But somehow, the few fellows who chose to dare the bullets and speak up, even if you arent interested in whatever movement they come up with, the least you can do is just 'ignore it', not pull them down.

richmanrichard:
this is the 2nd time you are calling my mentality sick. this goes a long way to show ur level of tolerance. Everyone wud Neva agree with you on everything. the sowore we know today became popular in gejs era n u lied when you said that he helped gej became president
. for the records, gej gained presidency 2ru yaradua' s death n nobody fought yaradua to bring in gej. you can easily blame another man for the misfortune you brought yourself. b4 2015 presidential election, you n your cohorts cannot complete a comment here without adding " sai baba". if you were so serious about this revolt, u shud start adding the remove baba hashtah in every comment u make so that we can take you serious. my bro;daaa! stop WAILING.

My sincere apologies for my poor choice of words. I just get emotional when I see the way things are in the country and how ordinary Nigerians and even youths are the ones condemning, pulling down and crucifying the only few people who dare to speak up or stand up to the useless leaders.

You say Sowore became popular only in GEJ's era? well that's just for you who. Back in the days before he even set up saharareporters, Sowore was even a thorn in OBJ's flesh especially during the third term agenda. A lot of people wouldn't have known this cos the internet and social media wasn't rampant then unlike today.

REgarding Yaradua's sickness saga, Oh yes! Sowore played a good role, he was the first person who alerted Nigerians that Yaradua was in a comatose state in Saudi Arabia, he was the first to alert Nigerians when Yaradua was sneaked into the country on a stretcher, he was the first to alert Nigerians on the sleaze being perpetrated by the Yaradua kitchen cabinet during the sickness days. It was the back to back tormenting reportage of bodies like SR that unsettled the cabal and forced them to step aside, making the senate then to enact the 'doctrine of necessity' which made GEJ the Ag. President at the time (this was several months before Yaradua's 'official' death). If not for the leakages from SR, the statusquo would have remained for a really long time; i.e. GEJ relegated to one corner while the cabal squandered Nigeria.

Like I said before, i have a right to support or criticise any candidate I choose, in the way I choose. I support a person today isn't a reason I shouldn't criticise or dump them the moment they misbehave; that is my prerogative. If you like, keep wailing till year 2099 over the election loss of GEJ in 2015; for the record, GEJ was a useless president, and even with what I know now about the uselessness of PMB, if the world goes back in time, I wouldn't still support GEJ or PDP in that election, I'd rather be neutral!

richmanrichard:
every1 that is not support ing sowore is now Get supporters. I know you supported APC
. at least enjoy d change

I'm sensible enough to know that I have a right to criticise bad leadership, irrespective of who the person is, without bothering about what some confused fellows think.

bhella10:
He is still a politician. Never to be trusted. He's fighting a good cause but I don't trust him. But then again can you please tell me what his revolutionnow is all about?

You dont trust him but you'd rather trust and vote scoundrels like PMB, GEJ, Atiku, Wike etc because you think Sowore (who has been a fighting activist since 1993) is not to be trusted since he's likely just also a politician like PMB, GEJ, Atiku, Wike etc.

You're asking what Revolution Now means, maybe in your own eyes, Nigeria is already Utopia and our leaders are perfectly leading perfectly. Everyday people lament the inability to protest bad leadership because they fear they will be shot. But someone somehow courageously decides to lead this protest but interestingly, it isnt even the government officials that are pulling him down, rather it's ordinary Nigerians.

Nigeria truly deserves its kind of leadership.

richmanrichard:
any1 that brought in this gov is not qualified to lead a protest. from sowore to ffk. we are no fools. I know you were among d ppl shouting SAI BABA up n down in this forum in 2015& 2019.

So because I support a candidate to replace an 'ESTABLISHED' useless president, are you saying I have no right to criticise the new government when they start being useless? What sort of reasoning is this? When did you see me supporting pmb in 2019?

Meanwhile Was this same Sowore not the same person who fought the Yaradua cabal to standstill to make GEJ president? So he should have been quiet when GEJ started misleading simply because he "helped GEJ to power"?

Sowore fought IBB for democracy, fought Abacha (and ran away on exile), returned to the scene and fought OBJ severely, fought Yaradua and his people during the sickness crisis which led to GEJ's emergence, but somehow according to your judgment, Sowore had no right to criticise GEJ, and for what reason exactly?

comos:
I love the response of Burna Boy.

omoyele sowore was the main media propagandist for APC when they were fighting to him power in 2015.

Sowore knew the type of man Buhari is but he did the fighting for his own selfish and tribalism interest.

This sort of ignorant mentality really sickens me. Sowore has fought every single bad government in Nigeria since 1993 till date, he has protested, has been brutalised and has been jailed several times. From IBB to Abacha to OBJ to Yaradua, to Yaradua cabal to GEJ and he didnt relent for a second before he started blasting PMB. He has never licked the ass of any sitting president and has been consistently consistent in calling out sleaze and criticising bad leadership.

But somehow, GEJ supporters are angry with Sowore cos he didnt lick GEJ's ass thereby leading to the emergence of PMB. An outsider hearing this would actually think the so called GEJ wasnt deserving of criticism... Meanwhile the same Sowore you criticise and accuse of supporting APC did not relent for even a micro second before he began attacking APC... The question wise people should have asked is, did Sowore lick PMB's ass for a single day since he became president?

Like they say, Nigerians are not worth fighting for.

richmanrichard:
he has changed. we can never trust him Again for the role he played in bringing bihari to power

Sowore is one activist who has been absolutely consistent in his fight against every sleazy government, from IBB, to Abacha to OBJ to GEJ and to Buhari. Once a leader shows signs of misbehaviour, Sowore has never held back for anyone. But somehow, a large group of Nigerians who claim to want a change in how things are done in the country chose to stab Sowore in the back because somehow, he didnt lick GEJ's ass (just the same way he hasnt licked the ass of any single sitting president), and not licking GEJ's ass somehow led to the emergence of PMB. The question any wise person should have asked is, did Sowore ever lick PMB's ass for even one day after he became president?

With this kind of pervasive mentality, Nigerians truly deserve the kind of imbeciles we have as leaders; Nigerians are truly never worth fighting for.

Nigeria really has no hope and no redemption!

The people you protest and fight for are the very ones who still end up pulling you down and rubbishing your efforts.

Just imagine the disgusting comments youths are making against Sowore, saying he's only protesting for his selifish interests. And then these same youths end up queuing to vote the likes of PMb, GEJ and Atiku etc. and then return home wondering why we cant have a revolution in Nigeria.

solmus:




Who is she decieving?! So ICPC doesn't have clearance to access people's Account and know facts before coming to air?!

Soon Buhari would sack ICPC chairman again like Magu


.

Comprehension seems to be a big deal in our generation. The ICPC report clearly mentioned Federal Govt Colleges, but somehow, everybody seemed to hear this woman's name. Even with this clarification, everyone responfing on this thread seems to be adamant in their ignorance.

Omo! the man's a rolling stoneboulder... Can never be stopped

Antoeni:
Why dont Atiku, Great Ogboru,
and Ize Iyamu Form a Political Party , Since they have Common Interest of Always Contesting and Losing Elections

ipica:
Is nairaland gaining anything from this bbn. Everywhere for front page na bbn. Shoo.

There are about 70 other topics on the frontpage but you just cant rest vos of BBN. Busybodies!

This same Kenneth Gbagi and his escaped lion story back then; little did we know the man himself was the escaped lion.

GOOOGLE504:
You cant bl.ame them for sticking their neck out sometimes.

Deep down I just dey ho.pe say dollar no go don reach N1300 by 2023 at this rate.

The only hope of the Naira are those fellows building refineries; that's why the govt is showering them with all the cheap forex and other incentives they need... If Nigeria stops importing petroleum products, that will be the only time the Naira can breathe.

Seems like every one just wants to go on strike holidays; cos this so called strike wouldn't yield anything, especially from a 'deaf' president. Whatever happens, subsidy payment isn't coming back, Nigerians need to live with this new reality.

Sometimes I wonder how people jump into conclusions on topics they know nothing about. If a rail track is to be laid to some city in Niger, the details of this project hasnt been revealed yet but somehow, we already have 12 pages filled with vicious comments from people analysing the viability of a project they know nothing about?

Niger is a landlocked oil producing country, and I imagine their closest seaports should be Cotonou and Lagos. A railway like this could easily divert a chunk of their import traffic through Lagos, yet 12 pages are already filled with comments from self acclaimed 'EXPERTS' who are so sure this project has no economic viability.

I would be surprised if the govt of Niger wouldnt even have financial stakes in a project like this.
