But military was sent it to disperse the protecters

Very True.

Every Protest is supposedly Peaceful.

But Once you send in Military personnel with Teargas and Rubber Bullets, Then it becomes Violent. embarassed

Jonathan never did things like that.

It was APC that started it with EndSars and Lekki Massacre. sad

Meanwhile the central actors in that infamous event then are threatening those who are disenchanted against the more worst level of governance they have thereafter reduced the country into .
Politicians, particularly, the Nigerian ones have this challenge, short term memory or amnesia.

Sadly, their stooges will still find a way to defend them.

Nigerian useless government kill her citizen without remorse. Go out and protest and get killed by Nigerian useless government. Put your family in pain and agony.

That God forsaken country is not worth dieing for, you share country with stvpid and f00lish people who will always vote for useless and wicked rulers.

After voting for them, they expect innocent people to protest. In that God forsaken country where life has no value.

That’s my little advice.

Lol, something that the government itself can send thugs to infiltrate and make it turn violent then turn around to say, this is why we don't want you to protest and possibly ban future protest.

He who once led protest against a democratical institution should not be afraid of protest
Nobody is afraid of protest but if you start looting people shop or disturb people who don't want to protest or destroy govt proper, then the military will have to use force . It happens all over the world

It is only and simply only the government that will hijack the protest and turn it into violent as they did during end SARS.

Didn't turn violent cause it took place mainly in the SW and the saboteurs couldn't do much

Plus, the protest had elites and highly ranked personalities who are peace-loving and sane

To put this in a better context, it had almost none-Eastern person at the forefront, the last that had one, EndSars, ended in turmoil
Bros you guys need to learn when to shut up

Tinubu is more worried on protest been hijacked than working to reduce inflation



If you had performed well, who will be talking about protest, you keep saying we should keep calm while you keep buying luxuries things. At the helm of inflation and complaining no money, you keep borrowing money to buy SUV for lawmakers


I'm for peaceful protest nonetheless, no one should destroy anything in southwest states or loot anyone businesses



But Tinubu you failed humanity, you failed the integrity of people who put trust in you

Use of zForce? Some people gathered at Ojota in a park/garden without disturbing flow of traffic or destroying anything, even tires weren't burnt!

SEUN has finally given his site up for revisionists, this is an insult on the sensibilities of those of us old enough to remember the events of the 2012 protests, as captured in the link below:

Using of force against peaceful protesters will escalate the whole thing and cause damages.

The government should better be careful. We will resist every form of intimidation and attacks from the government.

You're in denial if you say there is no need to protest
Iamgrey5:
Occupy Nigeria protest was about the price of petrol.

The increment was done in a new year period

Labor union and Trade union joined

It's different from protest that has no head or tails

If protest couldn't have held from last year till when new minimum wage was negotiated, then what exactly is this protest about?

You have to have a very short memory to believe this crap.

Jonathan deployed soldiers to quell 2012 occupy Nigeria protest.

This thread is a total lie and nairaland is becoming something else these days for always pushing all these outright lies..

5 topics on frontpage and 4 will be lies and propaganda..

You may be right, but just know that we have approved the use of FORCE. If you do anyhow, you will see anyhow.

Only an idiot will compare Goatluck who relies on LUCK to Emilokan who takes it by FORCE
