The funny thing was Canada government called them Terrorists cheesy
Yet if it’s China, then you will see same Canada and all her allies showing the news like China is blocking freedom of movement cheesy
For example there are massive protests going on in Belg and France but MSM will not report it.
EU offices in Belgium and France have been destroyed, police and the military have been deployed to the street yet no news about this.

That’s the reason they are using Russia this Russia that to cover up.
They want Russia to invade Ukraine to take away all their own domestic problems
You will just come to nairaland to spew nonsense how did you know there is no report about it when you are not even living or been to those countries.

Where was your head before sir?

But so far, I've not heard that military was deployed to the protesting truckers to kill them. All we saw were the police maintaining peace, unlike here where police were seen killing peaceful protesters before huloodlums hijacked it and started burning stations and killing police in reprisals.

Again, were police not brutal on the Nigerian youths, most of whom are doing legitimate businesses? The answer is yes. You can't compare those protesting over covid-19 with those protesting over the killing of their innocent loved ones by the corrupt police here.

Again, same twitter had banned some users who had spoken or twitted disrespectfully about buhari and his government before, check it. Buhari who's an individual account holder isn't above the law of twitter. You can't compare the 2 scenarios please Lai.

The insurrection in DC was a pure act of terror. Nobody had invaded the national assembly here before in that manner. Such an act wouldn't have be taken lightly by Nigerians as well.
you’re the only one who made sense

What happened in Nigeria can't happened in a sane country, A dreaded Police force unit(SARS) keep killing its citizen and yet the federal govt taking it lightly, I'm telling you, the country will burn more than what Nigeria experienced. I know what can happened in Canada and USA. If such happened and nothing was done about it.
What happened in The United States January 6th 2021 cannot happen in any sane climate, where an outgoing President Trump’s hoodlums will take over congress.

Making the likes of Nancy Pelosi, & Chuck Schumer take cover for their well being.

Hate him or love him his points here are valid. Western liberal governments tend to only support protests that align with their own agenda or promote their liberal narratives.

All other protests, particularly those that align with a conservative or right wing agenda, are quickly dubbed violent insurrectionists, neo-Nazi protest, white nationalists, terrorists etc. and they are quickly clamped down on by government and social media platforms.

It’s a double standard of epic proportions. You either allow all peaceful protests or none.

Government should only get involved once a protests turns violent which is largely what happened during EndSars. Although I have my suspicions that our government was behind much of that violence.

Ok now you are denying your endsars brethren?

So you are okay with police brutality? I guess because you've never had an encounter with SARS or any other unit of the police that's why you talk like this.

Do you know how many innocent Nigerians have been killed wrongfully and tagged armed robbers by those people?

I was fully in support of the protest, but 100 percent against the violence and looting of people's sweat that followed suit. I believe every sane Nigerian had those thoughts.

Lai Mohammed should shut up. The protesters have been left alone to protest for days, if not weeks, without interruption, but they've started taking things too far by disrupting normal Canadians going about their business, interruption of the supply chain of goods and services within Canada and also across the border.

It is also pertinent to note that these protesters are not the majority of truck drivers who didn't join the protests.



Also they have started getting funding from far right groups in the US, making it all the more to look political and not a genuine protest.

Not like Nigerian protest that within that same day police or soldiers would start shooting at you for nothing.


What is the difference between what is happening there and what happened here .
Protesters were left undisturbed before they started blocking highways and burning trucks that is bringing foods to the west,disturbing free movement of citizens. And to point it out to you, military were invited in Ontario,watch CNN and other reputable news stations that are reporting the news.
If you you want to be an hypocrite do that in your house

There is different because law tend to work there and the citizens can come out to defend injustice especially if it deals with someone's life but here in Nigeria, the agency who are to protect us are the one killing us that is why the Endsars happened. The two scenario are different despite been different they still went to court and the court give its verdict. Now ask your self this question, is it right for people to enter through your country's boarder without been vaccinated??

Again, were police not brutal on the Nigerian youths, most of whom are doing legitimate businesses? The answer is yes. You can't compare those protesting over covid-19 with those protesting over the killing of their innocent loved ones by the corrupt police here.

Again, same twitter had banned some users who had spoken or twitted disrespectfully about buhari and his government before, check it. Buhari who's an individual account holder isn't above the law of twitter. You can't compare the 2 scenarios please Lai.

The insurrection in DC was a pure act of terror. Nobody had invaded the national assembly here before in that manner. Such an act wouldn't have be taken lightly by Nigerians as well.
The Government even obtained a court order to clear the protesters from blocking the road linking to united states. Have you seen the army shooting at the truck drivers? The January 6 attack on Capitol hill cannot even be compared to Endsars protesters...lol. But then again did lie MOHAMMED see Pictures of army shooting at the January 6 white supremacist? In spite of such treasonable offenses the case is in court.
Those that said this made sense are part of the problem of this country. Every country have challenges no doubt but comparing All this protest to justify the killing of innocent protesters goes a long way to show that this politician is not fit to hold a ministerial position.

You don't need to be unpatriotic just to defend our enemies. What lai Muhd said is very true, many Africans don't know the level of enmity those Westerners have for us. They want to see us fighting and destroying our lands, it gives them joy and opportunity to call us monkeys.

During the protest,, President and Govt backed the protesters to protest peacefully but it was later politicised and changed from Endsars to bad governance after SARs was dissolved. The police killed during the protest are more than 30 across the Nation, the protesters ate their flesh but uptill now nobody can show the name or picture of the killed protesters.
Why the destruction and why should a person protesting do what he is protesting against?

Is it not yet clear that those people are our enemies?

The Nigerian Government have been waiting patiently for such an opportunity to defend the atrocities committed a couple of months ago. The reasons why Nigerians protested are yet to be addressed long after. The initially peaceful protested only turned chaotic when the security forces decided to apply iron fist.

No report of police brutalization or murder thus far in the case of the canadians

I have always maintained my stance and I will continue to do so


EndSars was a peaceful protest organised by displeased Nigerian youths who were sick and tired of the senseless harassment, killings and brutally by the Nigeria Police Force (SARS), not until it was hijacked by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu IPOB....This terrorist organisation capitalised on this crises to causes chaos through ARSON (deliberately burning of Government properties ) and killing of our police and Soldiers......YAHOO boys and Cultist were also involved but their contribution were 95% financial... They did not participate in destructive act. But IPOB members on the order of their IDOL mazi Nnamdi kanu carried out the senseless destruction we witnessed across major southern states..
