Oh please!! All those set free were innocent people. The governor should find something else to engage himself in.

The team, according to the US Mission in Nigeria “discussed ongoing violence, the importance of allowing citizens to peacefully demonstrate, and accountability and justice for victims.”

For a country like Nigeria, if we are being sincere with ourselves, we would admit the government has shown SERIOUS RESTRAINT in handling this crisis.

Meanwhile, here's trump's declaration of his allowance of "peaceful protests".

In the final analysis, WHAT EXACTLY HAVE WE GAINED FROM THE EVENTS OF THE PAST TWO WEEKS?

Have we gained more than we have lost of is the reverse the case?

The protesters messed a great opportunity up by failing to recognize when the fruits were ripe. They didn't harvest and let the fruits rot on the tree. Their online supporters thought *having no clear leadership in the protests* was a good thing, alas, that was their greatest undoing.

It was only a matter of time before criminals took over, and they did. Now we are where we are today. When are we ever gonna get this sort of opportunity to come together enmass and speak to power? When? Would these businessmen and their families and extended families lend their voices? Wouldn't they rather be skeptical calling for another protest is simply calling for a smokescreen to re-loot and vandalize their businesses?

Oh, Nigerians!

hammêrP:
THIS IS NOT HIS USUAL FIGHT WITH AMAECHI.



IPOB ARE RELENTLESS.





WE WILL FOLLOW WIKE AND HIS FAMILY EVEN AFTER HE LEAVES OFFICE.



EVEN MEMBERS OF HIS VERY ON COMMUNITY THAT ARE IPOB FAMILY WILL BE PLANNINGG TO KILL HIM.



ANYBODY IPOB CURSE IS CURSED.

Imagine the trash coming out of one's head. Gosh!

Sunsets:
That is the reality of IPOB being an ideology. I think a lot of people are ignorant of the extent of IPOB's penetration. Just by my side the other day, an Edo man was shouting Nnamdi Kanu is our leader. We, however, should say no to this militant side of IPOB. The governor is aware that's why there was no mention of Igbo in his speech, though he talked of people coming into Rivers and that Rivers state belongs to Rivers people. He forgot that a lot of Etche and Ikwerre and almost the entire Oyigbo down to Afam all subscribe to IPOB. So, it's not about strangers, the indigenous Riverians are a part of this. There Ogoni IPOBians; in fact, IPOB is in almost every Rivers community. Even in the riverine (IJAW) areas, there are adherents

People honestly don't know how big Kanu and ipob is indeed. By my side the other day, Obama said Nnamdi Kanu is hos leader.

Kanu is a great man.

gidgiddy:
Funny thing is that the mods will see this thread that has no source verifying it is from Wike, and may keep it running rather than closing it down

It is there on his official Facebook page.

Your beloved Wike just called you and your IPOB comrades CRIMINALS.

What do you have to say about it jobless boy?

Was this same wizkid not the one that rained curses on one other artist for daring to talk about music during unrest?

People hailed him and all that, and he took a real shine home. What makes him different from that person he insulted a week ago?

Pecuman:
Are you an idiot. Who is taking reports of missing person with Lagos in a state of Anarchy?

I wasnt raised in the gutter. I won't let you drag me down there. I'm better than that.

Bye.

Ravern:
Like you have not heard if allegation of protesters corpses being carried away into waiting trucks

Which means people left their homes and never made it back home.

We've neither seen relatives or neighbors come out to report missing persons.

Were the tens of dead people living in total isolation? Did they fall from the sky and have no relatives or neighbors?

How exactly can one explain such anomaly?

Acidosis:
While they were looting palliatives, you all cheered them. Now they're coming to your shops.. lol

Finally, someone with a brain!!!!!!!!!!

God bless you.

I've screamed countless number of times for us to condemn ALL FORMS OF CRIMINAL ACTS, not just on the part of Government, but citizens as well.

Looting, IN ALL FORMS, is a criminal act. They were encouraged and emboldened by the applause they revieved for looting palliatives, now, they're back home to roost.

So so unfortunate.

maiquel:
Op watch the video again and again... as If the cartridges or containers whatever their name is, she showed you a bullet. One removed from one of them.
Yesterday on AIT, there was a woman who assisted with removing bullets, she differentiated between the bullets soldiers fired and those the police fired. She also mentioned their names. She showed the tool she use in picking the bullets out.

I know you guys don't want to believe the story, its fine, but don't distort it with your nonsense analysis.
There are too many evidence to show the soldiers shot at protesters.

Please can someone help me explain how a bullet of that calibre with its shell casing still intact, penetrate flesh.

I'm interested in gaining more knowledge.

maiquel:
Doesn't make you less an idiot as the Op

Typical. Wasn't brought up in the gutter. Won't descend to your level.

Bye.

The op gave a very clear and compelling explanation as to why one should doubt the account of the events by the DJ. Sadly, as usual, when faced with superior argument, all most of these pdp supporters do is throw tantrums, curse and insult.

Not a single line of what the op wrote could they fault with valid reasons.

Hedonisco:
Useless idiots. Kill them all.

Ahn ahn!! No naw. Recovery of the stolen items and their prosecution should suffice.

pocohantas:
Of course it is sad that it got to that and no sane human supports the act. However, I won’t be blackmailed into the circulation of false news, as infodemic causes more harm than good. Look at how things have escalated in few days.

You and Ishilove will always have my respect.

More than SARS, misinformation, half truths, deception, deceit, and fake news could cost dearly. The proponents of the ongoing carnage want to coerce or blackmail those who dare to separate substance from chaff into towing their own tunnel path. Sadly, I'm hardly ever swayed by those flimsy emotional blackmail.

Imagine someone coming here to say no harm has really been done as whatever property that has been destroyed by the "protesters" can always be rebuilt and gave an instance of the WTC which was bombed on 9/11.

As the same fella if he would encourage samenin his state or region knowing whatever they destroy can can rebuilt and you'd get an endless tirade that hardly answers the simple.

emperor863:
Please don't say south, say southwest.

Our enemies are not the Northerners but the south easterners. I listened to a tape recording of that unfortunate albino, Nnamdi cownu calking on the Igbo to raze down Lagos, to break into all prisons, to bring Tinubu down etc. What happened on Wednesday, starting from the fake news of a massacre to the burning and looting of that day was a carefully planned and coordinated attack using FOOLISH Yoruba youth who did not listen to their parents.

People whose hearts harbour nothing but hatred should not BT allowed in our midst.

Go back on the timeline of the boy you quoted and you'd regret even quoting him.

He's one of those being led by the nose by Kanu and is super excited seeing such wanton destruction of the West.

Kyase:
Na north go kee you
We no ask una to be foolish
Stop blaming another region for your foolishness.

Forget that boy. He is one of those kids brainwashed by Kanu's doctrine and he is super excited seeing such pictures coming out of South West.

Do you see the other one called hammer? They're the same. That is why you see him saying Yorubas should forget about the destruction, that properties can always be replaced, posting before and after picture of the WTC.

Now, ask them, would they endorse similar destruction in the South East knowing whatever is destroyed can be rebuilt?

Ask him.

HAccord:
Your own end will come sooner than expected.

Maybe yours would come when you try to test drive the coffin you're trying to sell to unsuspecting people as a car. Who knows?

We're only human.

BENARI:
The Revolution has begun. How the mighty has fallen.

Dear Yorubas, know who thine enemies are.

For everyone applauding and encouraging destruction of any form in the South West, look back to the posts they've made in the past and you wont be disappointed at their identity.

Juliusmalema:
Meanwhile the senseless burning of infrastructures should stop.

It doesn't make any sense again because at the end of the day same resources that should have been used to meet the demands of the said protesters will now be used in rebuilding all these structures.

Meaning at the end of the day the protest achieved nothing..

Oh, so because they burned a police station in the East you people are now realizing it is senseless. But you were the same people encouraging the mob to burn everything down in Lagos.

You guys are such interesting species.

donphilopus:
Why not join them?

Don't incite people via Nairaland. Lead them!

They are settlers and Lagos and are encouraging people to destroy Lagos. Did you see them as excited as they get on every Lagos or Ogun thread on the Abia secretariat thread?

Of course they wouldn't be. Only South West deserves to burn. I pity all those brothers of yours who cant see the handwriting on the wall.

Ipob on their own have transformed that their one time *Turkish Ambassador* into "the President of Turkey".

We live in very interesting times where the President of Turkey displays Biafra flag in his office.

GreyLaw:
Shut your trap!

You colluded with the army. They didn't come from space without your permission. In a sane place relatives of the slain should have given you thunderous slaps in the face in any of the hospital wards just to register their displeasure.

What is unfortunate about shootings and subsequent murder which you were privy to? Police stations were burned down by God knows who and soldiers didn't go there, but went to the toll gate. Of course! That's where money is made.

Men who are born to do evil and then turn around and claim good; you will be judged except you repent and ask for mercy both from God and those whom you passively participated in their murder.

Oga shut up abeg. The man has done well. All you pdp hecklings will never be pleased by anything he does after all.

Shouting behind keypads.

Nonsense.

Jack005:
What if they defy the curfew and the number of people protesting are very high? How do you disperse such huge crowd? By the way, the protest should be aligning towards ending bad government.

Good comment.

seunmsg:
Confirmed.

This decision is inevitable if you ask me, we all saw it coming. Peaceful protest can no longer take place alongside lawlessness. Government must restore law and order before the situation gets out of hand.

Jack005 asked a very valid question two comments above yours.

If what he says happens, what would be the response of the government?

I don't think the call was a good call by the governor.

FarahAideed:
Now they have provoked Buhari

This one cracked me up.

On this one, I'd support full time. The protesters are busy expending precious opportunity on making flimsy demands and taking stupid photos as though it is just some fanfare carnival.

Look at our roads.

Look at the kind of life our public officials, ministers and governors, including the president himself, are living.

Look at our public schools especially those run by the state governments.

Look at the disparity between the income of the haves and have nots.

Look at our public healthcare system.

Absolutely nothing is where it should be in this country, yet we keep shouting EndSars. Our problems are too humongous to be whittled down to just a demand about SARS. This is my greatest problem, but people feel when I post here, I'm against the protests. I simply feel hurt a great opportunity is being wasted away.

amarachi06:
Stop being a tribalistic individual by calling Yoruba's.
Peter Obi is not responsible for what Sars did in Anambra State.

Nobody should reply this "divide and rule" mole planted by the ruling party to cause disaffection to the South.

They are scared of the Unity, and using any medium to throw subtle jabs at the South.

But El Rufai is responsible for everything that happens in Kaduna. You people are amazing!!

Y'all should stop hiding behind a fig leaf already- everything in Nigeria is politics and tribalistic.

Don't be ashamed of admitting it. You people wake up everyday to blame Tinubu for everything that has gone wrong or is going wrong in the West, someone not holding any public office. But one cant blame Obi for anything.

Amazing people.

CilicMarin:
They are already doing that...Just go to the Facebook..

Too predictable. Such a pity.

On what grounds exactly are they then demanding APC gives them their presidential ticket? How does this make any sense?

So the story about Dave decamping is true. Thought it was an online gossip.

Watch how the best performing governor "in Nigeria" becomes the worst thing there ever was on earth in the eyes of pdp supporters.

Eastlink:
Peter Obi messed up by allowing SARS have a field day in Anambra. This is his only sin and I’m afraid may hunt him. But people especially the likes of Omenka must stop making this thing tribal. Anyone found culpable whether in the east or west for extrajudicial killings of people must face justice.

You think you're dealing with a kid here? See the way he used a feather to flog Obi, but if it was a Yoruba man, he'd use a horse whip with thorns on it. Yet he says "stop making it tribal".

Look at a comment you made below:

Eastlink:
Diya - the Yoruba man who joined Abacha in the killing spree on his own people. Both him and Adisa really did the onslaught against their people. Abacha’s mind games really worked on them.

Why couldn't you use such strong language when talking about Obi, let me guess, because Obi is a Langtan man while you Igbo, right?

Look ehn, we know these games. Stop thinking any one of you is smarter than anyone here. That we let things slide from time to time doesn't mean we dont know what's going on.

When you use such words as used on Diya on Obi, then we can start talking. Say PETER OBI SUPERVISED THE SLAUGHTER OF IGBOS and should be brought to justice.

Until such a time, keep your deceit to yourself.

Bye.

So this attitude of mentioning Tinubu over incidences that occurred in the East transcends Nairaland!!

How chilling!
