IbrahimSkiba:
Yeah that's right

BadBradley:
protest is a fundamental human right. If protesters are assembling, the police in developed countries make sure there's no hijack or criminality.

But they can't approve or disprove of a protest. President Donald Trump didn't approve of Black Live Matter protest but it went to nfor months.

The idea for police granting right for protest is African as inherited from the colonial police whose sole purpose was to keep the population down against revolting against colonial government.

This is a what Adrian police and government have inherited.

BadBradley:
Who will tell these black illiterate demons in black uniforms that police lack the powers to stop or give permission for protests?

Africa's most underdeveloped country!!!

macrodata:
They'll never tell you how lonely and depressed they are in abroad. You'll hardly hear how they MSc holders are scrubing dead bodies & washing plates to feed till they can find a better job. Nobody talks about how they squat like pigeons & hang out in parks or sleep in the streets.

No!

All you see is blogging to promote another man's land & demonize their father's house. The only thing I fancy about northern people abroad is that you won't see them or hear them in abroad.

I'm a 24 year old lady living and working in Abuja. My job is very time demanding. I'm usually very busy on weekdays, and sometimes on weekends I can get called to work if something important comes up.

There is a guy I've known for months now. We met in Abuja at an event and we've been friends since. He lives in lagos but visits Abuja occasionally. He's also a very busy guy and he hardly has time on his hands. We have spent sometime together talking and getting to know each other but we haven't been on an official date. Most of our interaction has been over phone calls and WhatsApp text messages due to the distance barrier.

I fell in love with him during the course of our friendship. He is everything I want in a man. He's financially stable, very good looking and smart. The few times I've spent talking to him have been a pleasure, both for my eyes and for my mind. I never thought I could ever meet someone who checks all those boxes perfectly.

Men like him usually get a lot of female attention and I've tried to tread carefully. I didnt want him to see me as cheap but I also don't want him to think I am not interested in him. The day he told me he loved me was very memorable for me because I felt the same way. Few days later I told him I loved him too. Due to the distance barrier we could only talk on phone. I'm a very decent lady with good upbringing but because of what I felt for him, I did things I thought I'd never do. One night we had a sex chat that ended in me sending nudes to him. I've never done this before. This made me feel vulnerable and cheap because even though he said he loved me, I never believed him because he didn't really act like someone who was in love with me. He wasn't the type to call everyday and there were periods where he would dissapear for days and ignore my calls and texts and then return like nothing happened.

Last week we planned a special meeting. I was to travel to Lagos to see him at his place on Saturday morning. He had planned to refund me the money I'd use for my airline ticket and even hire a taxi that would bring me straight to his place from the airport. The way he sounded I knew he took it as a big deal. I agreed to come see him in lagos. On Friday morning he called and I assured him I was going to come. He called me again in the afternoon and I assured him I was going to come.

Towards the end of work on Friday my boss informed me that I had to be at work on Saturday to complete a very important project. Immediately I got the information I sent him a text. I was too tired when I left for home and I planned on calling him later that evening. I was so tired that I took a quick nap and woke up to missed calls from him. I called him back and asked if he got my message and he said he didn't. I informed him of the change in plans and he got very furious. He accused me of being indecisive and playing games. He said he had cancelled lots of meetings and spent money preparing for my visit and was disappointed that I didn't take him as seriously as he took me. He ended the call in annoyance and I've not heard from him since. He isn't picking my calls or replying my texts. I've sent him voice messages on WhatsApp apologizing and explaining myself but he hasn't replied..

I really love this guy and I don't want to lose him. He probably thinks I'm lying to him or that I have someone else I'm seeing but that's not the case.

bluefilm:
Nothing is free ,even water is not free in europe lol. You got to pay . I pay as much as 40k naira to get 247 electricity abroad.Nigerians shud try to be optimistic at times .what I expect is for people to be willing to pay if it is feasible. It can create more job and improve business. Failing on a project is better than not trying at all.
This mentality is what is killing you people.

You want everything for free without doing anything.

Go to America that you all want to be like, and tell me if electricity is free there.

Nonsense.

AFONJACOW:
can you hear your stupid self Oyimbo dey test run their trains before it start it normal daily routines... Ewu

pharmagba:
Not so my country
Amechi is getting it wrong,
Government should only provide the rail track, the couches and train should be given to my ibo brothers to manage as a private entity. Those guys are supreme in business.
Amechi should as a matter of urgency call on Ekeson, chisco, ezenwata, Guo , the young shall grow , borny way etc. to bring in their couches and government should only be interested in tax from every loading and coordination of the rail track. Government cannot manage anything in Nigeria the example is for us all to see. Nipost, nitel, nnpc, nepa even execution of war against Boko Haram they have failed.

A word is enough for the wise

Josywhyte:
Where is the useless minister for transport. What does he have to say? Useless set of people

Raydos:
Yes , for sun,it's funny but it's the truth ,when you stay the whole year without seeing the hot sun,you will thank God for the sun in Africa. Natural vitamin A.majority of northereners don't really travel out ,its not as if naija is not bad to them but they are contenteded with what they have.There are also some countries in Africa who are not as developed as Nigeria, you don't find most of their people abroad .naija problem is due to bad governance, lack of opportunities due to high population, insecurity etc even within Europe, people migrate from one European country to another .There are some countries in Europe where all their youth have left for greener pasture, if you stay in those countries, no opportunity, hunger go finish you .








.


This is so laughable, Imagine A white coming to Africa because of sun? LOL we're so backward that sun is the only intriguing stuff about us!!


You can hardly see a white person move to Africa to start a new life or for greener pasture, Because Africa has nothing to offer, It's just a Empty continent

But you see Black Africans moving to Europe on a daily basis for better life, That says a lot about us!!

Raydos:
Most white folks who like to visit Africa are only here for SAFARI, to see animals!!

Face the truth bro!!

Aconomist:
Look at "banana Island" the most expensive

??...






real estate in Africa. It looks like a zoo! Everything shoddy, substandard and haphazard! A multi-million dollar state looks inferior to a common neighborhood in the United States! Black people are worthless. Someone please drop a nuke on Africa so the world can heal from this plague called negros.

ba7man:
To be honest, i have seen thousands of insults but no verifiable list of people that were "killed" at the tollgate, their relatives, friends, acquaintances etc.

I can bet all those screaming "Massacre" sef don't know any victim or have any evidence, they're just following the bandwagon to suit their sentiments.

kayc0:
My dear ,is Nigeria using dollars, I don't stay in Nigeria but I will tell you that no governemt abroad gives free money. It is scam when you compare naira with dollars.you shud for once be grateful. The western world try to dehumanise Africa by comparing everything with dollars. I think there should be no comparison bw dollar and naira .Imagine you give somebody money and they don't appreciate it.even there are people abroad who can't afford to eat and not all countries abroad support their citizens finacially.calling people on this forum stupid is wrong and speaks what kind of person you are .Nigerians shud learn to be polite , learn to argue without insult ,that is what we call courtesy




SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ON NAIRALAND ARE JUST SO STUPID. THE GOVERNMENT IS GIVING YOU A 100$ FROM YOUR TAX PAYERS MONEY AND YOU ARE HAPPY. PATHETIC IGNORANCE IN DISPLAY!!!

Khayceeofficial:
A paltry sum of 50k is what this useless Government call SURVIVAL FUND...

How much does a bag of rice cost currently?
and with the hike in petrol price,how would 50k save a business?


we Don suffer enough for this country

Handsomecole:
Some Nigerians like to cry foul and it's one of the reasons why the Government wants to regulate social media.

No1 is I am 101% sure that AMAC would have served them demolition notices or even quit notice before now.

No2 Lands in Abuja have already have the design of buildings which you must adhere to. But Nigerians don't like to obey the rules and when the Government clamps they begin to cry for needless sympathy.

No3 ; They were not even trying to demolish the building the space down was emarked as a parking space.

jaytii:
I see a lot of people have already made up their mind that whatever they say is a lie. This shows how gullible most Nigerians can actually be, what happened to the principle of "audi alteram partem" it's bad enough that both sides have already gone against the part of equity that says "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands" the people recycled old pictures and videos claiming it was from the night of 10-20-20, the military also claimed they were never there, 2 wrongs.

At this point, it's only wise to detach yourself from previous judgements you might have made and hear both sides, their truth and their lies (which I trust we'd all be smart enough to discern).

NGpatriot:
1. This is fake news, it's not available anywhere on the internet apart from NL, this is the usual ipob fake news and information weapon.

2. The DJ lied and she's still lying, it's sad that thousands of Nigerians took to the streets to call for a better Nigeria while one of our so called leaders of tomorrow lied and set in motion massive destruction all over the country.

3. The most honorable, responsible and patriotic thing to do is to take your truth and info to the judiciary panel for the world to see and confirm

4. It's painfully obvious that all she lied and this is the reason why she's dodging the judiciary panel, she's dodging hard questions and because she has no proof.

5. It's very impossible and unrealistic for her to be the only witness to 15 deaths without proof even though she conveniently lied that she did not take pictures of the dead because her phone died? What about the hundreds of people at the scene? Their phones died too? How come we don't have the same story from them?

6. She also lied that after the shooting by the military, the police also showed up kill more people? This makes no sense because she said before that she took the 15 dead protesters to the military men and they drove of with the dead protesters, still no proof.

So, what happened to the ones the police killed? Did the police also drove off with the dead bodies?

7. It's impossible to have such killings before hundreds of people with just one single witness to deaths and the rest of her lies. What about the hundreds of people at the scene? Their phones died too? Were they blind and didn't see the 15 dead people?

8. One gentleman was at the scene and according to hiom, he took the wounded and injured to the hospital and even after many trips to the scene and the hospital, he did not see any dead protester.

9. Till today, we haven't seen mothers, fathers of family members asking questions or looming for their dead relatives.


10. This DJ woman is obviously a cold hearted liar..

seunmsg:
Is this new to anybody? There is nothing in the tweets above that is strange to me. The protest to end sars was a legitimate one. However, opposition politicians and others with divergent interest hijacked the protest for various reasons.

I supported the protest till the day the president disbanded the rogue sars unit and accepted the 5 demands of the protestors. Sadly, the PDP and ipob sponsored elements which constituted the leadership of the protest refused to end the protest for obvious reasons. Myopic youths who couldn’t read in between fell for their gimmicks and refused to leave the streets. The end result was sorrow, tears, blood and carnage.

They have started mobilizing for another round of protest again. Hopefully, Lagosians will be wise enough this time around not to fall for their lies. In fact, Lagosians have a duty to protect their communities from deaths and carnage. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Lagosians, be wise.

softset:
I fear for Nigeria's economy. We can protest using other legitimate and acceptable methods.

Shutting down the economy is definitely not the best option as these guys demand

gurunlocker:
So he has even spent more years in the prison than the years living freely in US

Mickey23:
Am pleading to all my nigerian brothers and sisters in abroad wen u protesting pls and pls make sure u have ur working permit..God bless Nigeria we going to make it

Mycoin:
Watch as how they will come for your head for saying the truth or saying your opinion.They can curse your entire generation lol



et us talk about trust.
Many have said despite the things the government have done protesters should continue to hold the country to ransom because the government cannot be trusted.
The similitude of this is that I have been owing you money and I have been promising and failing. One day you hold me by my trousers on the road and say I must pay. I agree to pay you, even gave you my phone to hold until I do, but I need to reach into my car and get my credit card, then go to the ATM to withdraw your money.
I go ahead and say you can follow me. A third party you trust can come also. All I need is for you to allow me get to the car and collect my card and then pick up the money. I even go ahead to say ok choose anyone to come with me and even hold me by the trouser until I withdraw the money, in case you are not chanced.
But you say no. I must give you your money while we are at the middle of the road or we will continue to be there. Does this make any sense?
Matter of fact your kids begin to cry from hunger and the whole road is held up no one can move, a pregnant woman and her baby even died but you say no; you will not appoint anyone to ensure I get my card and pay you right away, you will not allow anyone pass even medical emergencies, all because you don't trust me.
At some point I say ok let me do transfer, at least I have my phone on me, you said no, I agreed to transfer too fast maybe it is fake alert. Ok, let me borrow from someone close by to pay you, you say no I don't use to pay debt, you don't want me to be owing the person as I owed you. Then you started making demands, I will agree to them and you will make more. At some point you started saying even if you pay me now I still have other issues with you that I can't count so we will be here until these issues I have not articulated are all dealt with.
You do know that at some point I will remember you do not really have right to hold me right? And at some point I will feel you are actually not trying to get your money, you just want to embarrass me.
I know your eyes caught the part of not having right so let me address it. I have heard so many people saying peaceful protest, peaceful protest but these protests are not peaceful because peace is not the absence of fighting, it is the absence of DISTURBANCE.
To give credence to this argument I will refer you to the Criminal Code, Section 101 which says that a Justice of Peace or Police man of some ranking may command any assembly of people "likely to cause DISTURBANCE" to disperse and they must obey. Note that the section says this applies even for lawful gatherings.
Read further, Section 102 says should they not leave, the Police is allowed to use "FORCE" to disperse them. And it gets worse. Section 73 says a Policeman "shall NOT be liable in any criminal or civil proceeding for having, by the use of force, caused harm or death of any person". The Police Act even says how and where the protesters can be shot.
YET this government has warned Police against use of force. They are even prosecuting those who use force! Yet all they get in reply is insult and accusations. But my only fear is that just like the person in the scenario I painted, it gets somewhere and the government will also remember its rights too. Then in exercising them excesses will also apply.
So I am asking, why not constitute yourself into a Civil Society and monitor the implementation of all the government has started doing and promised to do as YOU HAVE EVEN BEEN INVITED TO DO? Why push your luck too far? Why do we choose anarchy over a solution? Why not win the battle you said you want to win?
Is it insincerity or is it lack of clear knowledge of what you are doing?
