Abeg release them with a pat on the wrist

Charge them with reckless endangerment and let them go.

These ones are just hungry boys willing to risk their lives for burning goods

Man on a mission.
That lawyer is a codded guy man.. He's many things to many people.

The mistake will be to underestimate him.

Its achievable by the way,thats 300,000 per state.

PS. I belong to no party.I'm only a patriot for peace. Lets keep watching

What can be done?

1. Get people to research the cause

2.the community must join hands and ask for the root cause to stop or be controlled.preach it from the puplits.call the parents of defaulters to call their wards to order etc

3.If its mutlinationals sue them here and abroad

4.Consider exploring legal means to compel Goverment to take action

5.Rivers indigenes dont just talk.Take legally endorsed action for the sake of your children.

Chief kyari,we see you.... Hope you are doing fine.And your family too.

I repeat this chief has served Nigeria well.Attempts to riducle his legacy has been duely noted and acknowledged

He remains Nigerias best serving and deservedly best decorated officer

This write up concludes as though the matter has been solved,it has not.

The Minisyer has not done enough please,he only either (a) took the responsibilities of the airline or (b) made them take responsibility for lifting the passangers back to Nigeria. But the real crux of the matter.Manhandling the Nigerians especially woemn like that.

Honourable Minister of the FRN we await your response

That said ill be extremely dissapointed in the passengers if they do not sue the airline.Sue everyone involved.

Not that i care for any of them but in summary this is the person you all have been demarketting tinunbu for.Noted.lets keep watching

Note how all the naysayers and antagonists on every thread are suddenly quiet.Is he not also APC?

Let me guess You were not paid to drag this one right?

Funny set of people

I was about typing this before I read your comment. The future of this society is in danger because of the high level of moral decadence here and it's clearly the failure of parentage. To the human right activities who are defending this tout, don't come here on nairaland to complain when he or his group members harass and attack you on the road or under bridge like agege at night. It's what ure supporting that is hunting you. You don't need to quote me, locate anyone with that hairstyle in ur neighborhood, give ur sister to her in marriage, strike a business deal with them and enjoy urself. I come in peace

Abeg let us here word...your type have a word.it is called hypocrites.Our Lord Jesus described such persons and advices clearly as remove the log in your own eye before removing the speck in the eyes of others.

The Nigerian boy that builds drones for the US military,is it not dreads that filled his head.full head of dreads. That kid will never enyer naija for any reason with his dreads.Everyone on dreads cannot be criminal.Allow the young ones wear their dreads if they want and respect them for it.

I insist if you villify dreadlocks.You will chase away the creatives from Nigeria.We will loose their future taxes and we will loose any competitive advantagr we may have gained from their participation.

Creatives are the future.All the old school hypocrites and islamists should take a back sit on this one.A young lawyer should take this man to court.Open go fund me for the case.we Will donate.

PS i dont wear dreads.... but i know wickedness and abuse when I see it and I understand It is everyones duty to challenge abuse

The majority of comment here is showing you how Morales our societies is nowadays in the name of social ,Freedom and Human right . Can any cooperate organization allow it for their workers ? Majority of those that dress like that are majorly unemployed ,Touts , Froudster and the rest But our morales societies is celebrating them simply bcs moral is not common any more.

Must everyone work in coporate organizations? And who says the creative industry which includes arts,engineering, and manufacturing dont wear dreadlocks?

Anyone who decided to keep dreads is a creative end of story.And we must encourage and promote creativity not drown them.This is the era of creativity and the future will be the playing field for the creatives the earlier you all understand this the better our countries chances for been relevant in the future.

Dont stiffle the creatives.

Heres a funfact.Sweden and the scandavanian countries have the beat GDP in the whole world.they are described as heaven on earth.But did you know in the 80's their highest means of forex and income utilized to run their country was tax collected from just 1 band.Abba.

Stop stiffling Nigerias creatives.

olasaad:
Thank you ooo. How many parents can see their children keeping dreadlocks without first scolding him. No parents will be happy with such and even our society as a whole.

Even if you keep a friend that do dread or all this crazy hairstyles your parents will not like you to be moving with such person because of his crazy hair cut. And to the ladies how many of us do date this guys Few and your parents will always question the type of guy you are dating.

But I don't know why you guys always deceive people on the Internet. And please those of you that are castigating the man do feel free and take your crazy hair style to work next Monday. Thankyou Mr. Chairman say no to moral decadence in our society.

How is a persons personal choice of haircut moral decadence.His hair is his personal life choice and feeedom of expression.It is not your bussiness

Should my kids decide to keep dreads i will encourage it as it has aboslutelty nothing to do with his morals.Have you heard of the term creativity and creative expression.You wonder why kids abroad can think outside the box.simple,they encourage creative expression and creativity from their childhood they are not raising minions like in Nigeria.And yes the creative industry where the real money is is a place filled with employees who wear dreadlocks.

That said why would blacks hate their own hair? Jesus did not cut his hair? Samson carried dreads. blacks of ancient times did not cut their hair. Who says its uncultural?Why are we cutting peoples hair?

Someone should sue this man abeg for the mere fact that this is wrong,and this must be addressed

Ttalk:
First intra city rail system build by any state in Africa

First Nigeria state to create and retain additional local government in Nigeria

Creating a dedicated BRT line within a complex road network of the state

Only state that raised her IGR over 400%

The first state that digitalised her tax system in Nigeria

Pioneers of rehabilitation of abandon federal government roads and projects

First state to introduce water transportation system in Nigeria

You forgot her strengthened justice system

-Her legal and welfare system for GBV and Child welfare
-Her health care system Lagos has the best PHC system in the whole country.Lagos PHC system is the equivalent of General hospitals for many states. And they are properly staffed unlike all states
-Lagos has the best transport programme in Africa ,they even won a global award for it
Lagos pionered its own transport unit lastma today all states are floating their shadow copy.
Lagos transport program has gone fully digital including registeration and identification of defaulters.It started with Lagos

Dont forget the waterways ,rail and the proposed rail car

-Security Im guessing you all dont know Lagos has its own special security fund that it uses to equip and fund the federal security systems in its state.Thats why in the early 2000 period all the robbers fled Lagos to oyo and ogun axis.with reduced crime rate in Lagos but higher rates in its sorrounding states

-Tourism, you all take that part of lagos for granted right? You dont know how much lagos subsidizes events in the state to attract patronage and keep your vibing going

Civil service -lag civil service is the most organized and effective in Nigeria

I could go on but im busy. When it comes to Lagos,you all shpuld take a back sit and learn.

Ill conclude by saying Lagos is the first state in Nigeria to have long term development plans for all sectors.and yes it started in Tinunbus time

walexbiz:
We don't need to live in self denial, there is nothing worthy of emulation in lagos. Today the north has Boko Haram which they have been grooming for years through desecration of learning institute while Lagos too has created it's own army popularly known as Agbero which is only a matter of time before they begin to unleash their terror on Lagos. For most of us who are enlighten we would compare lagos to Ghana, Togo or Even Uganda and we would all be disappointed to see how Lagos has been badly runned. The only time Lagos had meaningful development was during Fashola regime after Marwa regime, without mincing word Pa Tinubu was a complete failure.

Lagos to Ghana,angola? Have you even been to those places?

Must you people even talk?

Lagos has the best development markers in Nigeria despite its large population.

Break down all the needed measures of progress into States and see the true picture.Lagos takes the lead.Other states hold learning tours to Lagos on almost everything in Governance.If you know you know.

Lagos has developed its systems to be so independent it can run has a country if its given the requires measures of sovereignty.

The point is you can drag other States on poor Governance but not Lagos except of course ,you are part of the arrogant ignorant crew

tshtsh:
My opinion is that a lot of nigerian youths are very ignorant and will be worse than the current generation of nigerian leaders. An aviation leader (Dr. Alex) yesterday calculated the trade deficit on the Nigeria-UAE route and it came up to about $500 million in favour of the UAE. In situations like this nigerians ought to look beyond the luxuries of dubai/emirates airline and push for the BASA to be re-negotiated to reduce the trade deficit. But here people are bashing and bashing the FG for taking a firm stand.

These reflect my thoughts as well.The present crop of youth voices in the public domain is worrisome if it reflects the potential future of Nigerian leadership.

Ignorance is not the problem,its the arrogance that comes with their ignorance and refusal to learn that theres a systematic way states are run and managed. And that this is unique to each country.

Its annoying tobsee that arrogance excused with the supposed more important credential of youth voices.

The solution is to counter the arrogant and ignorant voices with knowledge on the right processes as much as possible through fora such as this.For all you know that may be the only knowledge they will aqquire for future engagement on such topics.But its better than nothing

Nigeria is right on this one.
Its also a good time for airpeace to ask and renegotiate more slots we must insist on fair trade balance and nothing less.

Air peace should rent planes or borrow for more planes if they must.

Nigeria has done the right thing but never let a conflict go to waste. We must insist on the maximum benefit for naija from this row.trade balance

Not part of the yoruba tradition.
No true yoruba mother,father or husband would have allowed that

This would have been a learning case for Nigeria but the wpmen themselves that are supposed to be on the frontier of the matter are silent... justice is been delayed in favour of the aggressor

Why for instance why is the ministry of women affairs silent, why has no agency supervised the enforcement of the law order giving her access to the children. What is the process she needs to engage?

Shows the law in the domain where she filed is a joke or FFK is above the law.but then again the women that are supposed to back her up on this are silent.so its invariable 1 woman against FFK and a lawless situation. Very sad

I like the banter on this thread,its great.This is what nairaland should be like.devoid of ethnic sentiments and great on collating diverse views

That said.I think serap only instituted that case as an academic excercise.In truth we need to get to stage were we pit National good above self. Nigeria put a demand on twitter for accountability,as the accountability champions I dont see why serap should have a problem with that except of course that to sue the FG is their knee jerk response to every perceived problem real or imagined.

But then serap ought to know when National interest is at stake.The real question then is how patrotic is serap and her board.

That said that does not stop those with positions on any unresolved issues from the end sars protest to still engage Goverment constructively and find a way to establish,confirm and resolve such matters.But not through a call to total anarchy

[quote author=Aarenaija

OlowoJustice:
It takes a high level capacity for objectivity to see that attack for what it is, without sentiment. It was an organized attack against Lagos State. The targeted infrastructures like that DNA Laboratory (the only one of its kind in the country and the West African region), 200 BRT buses, bus terminals had no reason to have been touched. Theses infrastructures seve the masses not the elite so why target them unless there's more to it.

Anybody with tactical sense will get it was a cordinated attack on the city.

In times of war what soft targets to you go for to make a political statement. Structures that deal with representation of power (obas palace and Governors mums house) transportation (Major road of commerce blocked,280 BRT buses and terminal of Oyingbo line) radio and TV (they were going to burn channels) ,amongst others.

They want us to belive hoodlums randomly sat down ,selected and burnt these strategic locations many km apart and not a whole street. All this is clearly aimed at disparaging the State and its leadership (which by the way is the best in the country on all sectors save perhaps agriculture) .Let them continue.We too we get sense.

Let the real lagosians hear and learn. Protect your home with positive words and actions.Lagos must not fall to enemies of the State in our time

Lagos is a city of 25 million persons. Any attempts at disturbing the Peace of the city must not be handled lightly.

Imagine the implication of complete anarchy in Lagos? Imagine what it takes to prevent that.

The peace walk is one of such.Greiviancrs in Lagos MUST not be addressed through protests that blockade an area area or any road for that matter.The city cannot afford it

That protest led to loss of lives all over Lagos.hoodlums entered peoples homes in braod day lights and shot many, police men were killed, prisoners were set loose on the streets and still the so called protest organizers felt no big deal in those loses ,let anarchy be the order of the day and the protest continued.The save Nigeria group protest they modelled after called everyone in the momment a curfew was declared,when will end sars organizers take responsibility for the protesters been at that venue when they should have been on their way home.

Why would the Govt wait till the last few hrs before the curfew was about to begin to harm the citizens it deliberately avoided despite showing great restraint for a longer period.

The protesters in response burnt down Lagos.Arsonists burnt down an entire new terminal and over 280 buses,burnt down the Governors mothers house,burnt down peoples properties,went on a killing and looting spree on the streets of Lagos, still in the name of protests...yet Lagos did not give a shoot at site order."Awon boys" on the side on Lagos held their peace..... we did not hear shim in retalitaion

At what stage do we all take responsibilty for the fragile peace of lagos that we met there and take for granted....

Who rembers Lagos in the 80's when robbers used to move in gangs of 30's and rob entire streets.When Oshodi was a place you were sure to be robbed and where your bag will definately be slashed.Where apapa was certain of car robbery amd highway robbery of commuters,and mile 2 and mile 12 was a whole cesspool of criminality

That is not the Lagos of today and it has taken a loooot of effort to keep the wild city under control, the agberos and lagos boys on payroll are still there but they are in check.why would anyone who claims to be for the city want to change that narrative?

How are the youths making it better for their time

May his soul rest in peace.Why has there been no mention of the other biys narrative? Abi they dint have mouth? Why is the school speaking for them.

Where are the persons he accused?

Omode gbon,agba gbon,lafi da ile ife.
Those are the principles of the yoruba people

LASU SUG has done the right thing.

The day your people come calling for you to stand with them.You must never be found wanting.LASU SUG must also position itself as the middle ground for presenting matters as relates to youths and propose solutions in recomendations for the State.Take that mantle since they all refused it.And yes you have the locus.

Lagos must note and reward these ones. Do it silently ,note it down for a 10 year period.That is how soceities from ancient times have been buildt by the codes they uphold.


As for the ones amongst us that burnt Lagos and those that stood bye edging them on,and those that laughed and called it a joke.The ones that foolishly deride its peoples leadership and attempts at harmony and social cohesion all for cheap pop culture clout.we see you.Im sure majority of you don't even pay any tax of any sort to the state.we also have a saying for you. K'osi bi omo se l'aso to...... if you are yoruba you know the rest

The true leaders of Lagos must also note these ones and ensure that when there are priviledges and honour associated with its patronageand State status they must not partake in it. Please ensure a desk makes them file thwir tax returns regularly,this is to ensure they are contributing somehow to the assets that were burnt down.Even it takes 100 years.

Lastly ,This post is a rallying call for all yoruba sons and daughers,(the ones that are not bastards).The day that you are all called for that peace walk,if you are available and ifs convienient turn up for Lagos.

If you are not , send chin chin.Thats how we roll. Eko o ni baje o!

Peace is the duty and responsibility of all, Justice is the responsibility of strong institutions held accountable by laws and legal frameworks

It is everyones responsibility to keep the peace.

The over 60 age bracket you all complain about form only about 5% of our population now and the ones less than 20 years over 50% of our population.

All those young persons inciting the youths to turn against the leaders should know its a very dangerous trend.Rather let us all collectively call for and maintain the peace of our land while we clamour for stronger institutions (not with protests) but withconstructive engagement.

example of the year is the group that engaged with police and got them to sign up for a missing persons data base. They did not get that by protest.
We need the youths ,we need the fresh ideas,lets find a peaceful way to make this happen.We have only one Lagos.

Its taken a lot over the years to keep the city peacefull,its our generations turn,Lets keep the peace.

Which taxes?

Definayely not VAT though.Education is exempt from significant taxation.

Someone should please clarify what kind of tax

That said education should be exempt from taxes in educationally disadvantaged states such as Zamfara.

They should go and create an enabling enviroment for real taxes and stop disturbing schools they did not support in anyway.So the parents that are managing ro put meagre school fees together should be subsidizing their bad bussiness enviroment with their taxes.

Ko make sense .

TuFab:
Seconded!

I have had a rethink o...naming pawns abobaku may be promoting and endorsing electoral violence.

I think its beyter we all go with the iranse suggestion for this reason

Many thanks to this great ambasaddor of the yoruba culture.

A culture dies when its not written. Note not when its not spoken,but when its not written.

The names of the pieces are actually hilarious.Pawns are the real MVP in chess.their not just the iranse but the abobakus. Excellent description,although the secret is they can become anything they choose to be as long as they make it to the other side.

That said heres a funfact. The yoruba language in its correct use is mastery of the act of description. Talk of how things are named in yoruba and you'll know the language is creative and encourages descriptive expression

Ask for he translation of

Telephone-
Radio-

And my favourite,the phrase gudugudumeje yahyah mefa translated excellent. It was a whole story summarized by the yorubas.they asked what was the white mans feedback and they replied he said good 7 Times, " gudugudu meje, and yeah yeah 6 times "yahyah mefa"

And that ladies and gentle men is how the cute phrase gudugudu meje yahyah mefa came to be.

So here on the pages of nairaland as a son of the soil, I support abobaku for the naming of the pawn.(e.g this describes aptly the agberos of Lagos). We need someone to second this so it becomes endorsed.


Modified. I have had a change of thought on this nomination.So as not to promote or endorse electoral violence I propose supporting the adoption of iranse instead of abobaku as the yoruba nomenclature for the pawns

I have held my comments as well on this till the final report is out.this is a sensitive matter for all concerned and the country at large

But i must provide this advice to lagos state.the report dwelt more on its proceedings than actual forensic analysis and Lagos state must correct that gap with its review and a follow up shadow report

The lagos shadow report must be balanced and the opportunity must be used to demonstrate the real impact of the end sars protest.

Who was mudered and who was injured in the whole of lagos during the whole period in question ,what kind of injury led to their demise and where.all morgues in Lagos must be visited. Also invite external corroborating team on that report process.cnn and local media is good only then will the process be deemed true and fair

This is very important for posterity and the failure to set clear narratives must not be allowed ,this is to ensure the full scale and effects of the protest is documented and sanctions on the response of state ,its agencies and everyone trully culpable in the mayhem is trully guided

What if they were accussed wrongly.

What if others use it to accuse people wrongly.Theres no way this is right in any sane soceity.

this is retarded behavioir by the community

More news like this is good.The agency should promote themselves and their achievements if true.forget all this bad mouth people

AntiBMC:
Papa memu. Christmas banger don turn rocket. Making ordinary pencil is rocket science for Nigeria...na rocket dem one build?

Is it not this same NASRDA that gave their staff space suit to wear and started making a video of him as he walked in slow-mo ontop several potholes...then they claimed a Nigerian astronaut was walking on the moon. Only for the video to capture Keke driving past at the background. Stvpid cl0wns. Rocket ko socket ni.

This is creatively cruel. You should consider creative writing.
