Self-immolation.

This was exactly what triggered the Arab spring of a decade ago and led to the ousting of most regimes in the Arab world.

But here in Nigeria, we are all docile, self-centred, cowardly, and contented with suffering and smiling while the evil leaders continue to trample on our collective rights and well beings.

What a shame.

Nigerians are only angry with petty thieves. They are ever ready to come out in hundreds or thousands to burn a phone thief alive.
But once you've graduated to millions or government money theft, you are already immune

No policeman set any vehicle ablaze; policemen attached to the Ajao Estate Police Division were not involved in what happened. However, the Commissioner of Police has ordered investigation into the incident.”


Why denial before investigation?

This looks like fake news!

If something like this happens in these days of social media, the whole of Lagos will be on fire with touts chasing after the police and burning down their stations.

Something similar to this was the cause of Arab uprising in Africa few years ago that brought about demonstration in most African Arab countries the eventually brought up some changes in their govts. Here the federal govt had caused us to chicken out of any form of demonstration with intimidating and threats. I forsee a major revolution coming quickly.

Arab's speak one language, but Nigeria speak different language. Tribalism will kill any protest in Nigeria

Small thief no get tribe O! But big thief get tribe They are immune because of tribal sentiment.

Davefed:
Self immolation is a radical way of expressing displeasure in the society especially politics. This act overthrew many regime starting from Tunsia to other Arab Countries. Black man is so docile and self centered emotionally and psychologically. This would have triggered national protest starting from Lagos but Blackman factor is at work. who rehabilitate black people?

We have to save ourselves.

Pray not to experience, frustration that is way bigger than you. Especially as a man.

Wicked pipu. If they sieze your vehicle and you protest by setting yourself ablaze, they are not involve. If they forcefully sieze your vehicle and you cooperate, they will beat chest by not denying their involvement

ThinkSmarter:
Frustration, impatient and hopelessness.
The govt officials should learn to tamper justice with mercy in some scenarios.
Someone should have given him appropriate guidance and counselling to calm him down.
People too dey mind their business in Lagos.
He has literally guilt-tripped the tax force officials.

I just hate the way people mind their business in Lagos in everything, is too bad

You are very right, tribal sentiments, especially the yoruba's. The most tribalistic tribe ever in nigeria. They don't mind to get a quarter bag of rice, just to see an agbero who doesn't even care about them represent them as a top government official.

straighttalk:
Quite unfortunate! This is not the country our founding Fathers envisaged.

founding fathers were thieves and crooks

That's why we will never get things better inbthis country. Tunisia uprise started when a man that couldn't buy bread for his set him self ablaze. I bet if someone was killed in Nigeria you will be among those that will ask him why did he leave the house that day. Cow leading morons

It's everywhere O! Every ethnic groups will always protect their own, that why politicans keep getting away with court case.
Yoruba's are campaigning for Tinubu, Igbo's are campaigning for Kalu, Fulani's are campaigning for Atiku, etc

Perilous times indeed!!
The way people get mind this days is alarming...as for me oh, the slightest threat from any individual during any sort of arguement i go just use style japa before you see for nairaland "young man stabbed to death over traffic dispute"

You won't understand, pray you don't find yourself in such mental state of mind. Many are frustrated,many are walking corpse in this country.

Gone are the days of "YOU NO FIT" during an arguement.

They took his source of livelihood. I feel his pain. He probably must have begged and begged and begged. They'll tell you to bring certain huge amount that they care to know if you have or not. RIP to a brave hustler. Now they want to launch am investigation. In same way God will launch trouble in their lives

This is Nigeria

Ikpeazu has a PhD and he's treating your parents like animals.

Atunkutuku rẹ lọ́nà ọ̀run.

This Is a total turn off, upsurge of this kind as been in the news not today and we Nigerians are okay with such a debilitating occurrence.

This leaders did not create an enabling environment for success to thrive and that is why many of this frustrating act kept happening, in a saner clime, a big riot would have taken hold in various part of the country.

However, the driver should not have killed himself either seek for help even if the vehicle is on higher purchase, he should have understand better than now that we live in a zoo where anything goes or happen at will. The structure we are presently running and truncated, we are under the leadership of pharoh who will not let the children of Israelites go.

This is serious.
Frustration in the land.
