Don't make fun of anyone. Yorubas, Igbos and Hausas were there... In fact, you don't know if the dead persons were Igbo.

If you throw a stone into the marketplace it might hit your family member. Be careful with your words. Shalom. ✌🏾

Yoruba people don suffer well well for Tinupoo handπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Despite Awa lokan

This is what shows how ignorant most of you are.
I took the pictures myself, whilst I was in my vehicle, I personally saw an Igbo man sprayed with dirty water by the Customs and was unable to buy rice, several Igbos were there.

Yoruba, Igbo & Hausa folks were there but somehow you tribalists think you are free to insult everyone cos Obi didn't win despite the heavy Yoruba votes in Lagos.

Well, common sense isn't common after all.

Just witnessing this right now... All because of cheap rice that's not even enough to go round πŸ˜’

It is believed that people queuing to buy the N10k rice got frustrated when the queue was too much and some of them pulled down the gate of the Nigerian customs. Still, I don't believe this justifies tear-gassing people, some of which were nursing mothers who came with their infants.

Two people have allegedly lost their lives as per news circulating around the customs office.
if they could pull down the custom gate, the next thing is anarchy, looting and stampede if extreme measures is not used to contain it.
so it justifies using teargas.

Well, you make a good point. But this was poorly planned from the onset... Personally, I don't think it's worth it to queue from morning to afternoon just because of 10k rice.

Teargas is justified when a crowd is out of control. Otherwise it could get worse and lead to deaths. It would've saved lives in 2020, 2023 Feb.

Did the Custom officers tear gas them for fun or because the people were behaving like animals? Even at the airport, Nigerians can't take simple instructions that's why many foreign airline staff are rude yo Nigerians.

I don't fan the custom unit but I admit that average Nigerians abuse almost everything and make life difficult for themselves and for others.

Maybe custom had a good reason to teargas them. Maybe custom didn't have a good reason to do so.
how and what did they abuse here, if people weren't hungry you wouldn't see people coming in their numbers cos of discounted rice. They announced the discount and called people to take advantage, all who needed it cheap were there to benefit from it, the government would have found a better way to ensure the process is hitch free without wreaking havoc on innocent hungry Nigerians.

β€œ It is believed that people queuing to buy the N10k rice got frustrated when the queue was too much and some of them pulled down the gate of the Nigerian customs.”

The custom did what was best. Why should people pull down the gate. The crowd definitely outnumbered the number of available resources, and some hoodlums had to pull the gate.

Anywhere in the world, same action would have triggered such occurrence.

We don’t have to blame government parastatals for everything.

When you say let's be orderly and queue up, some would come and try to show they're smarter. Crisis occurs; then officers come on and teargas everybody. Some Nigerians are just impossible!

You seized someone's goods and sold it at cheaper rate to another.
