NIGERIA is lost. This is no longer a protest but a frivolous gathering.

U don’t tell people where and how to protest so far as there’s no violence and rancor

Good one.

Now police should just back off and leave men with any protester that will flout this order.

If your aim is peaceful protest, go to those parks, converge, carry your placard, and go back home.

If we see you anywhere else, Wetin your eyes see, make you accept am that way.

God bless Lagos
I love how Lagos Ronu sharp

Jonathan was too dumb to approach the courts!


Xscape1993:
Where was the court when the drug master sponsored so many protests during Jonathan's regime? Why is the certificate forger afraid of protest and constructive criticisms? Pretenders everywhere...

I have a word for the Yorubas.
Don't think you are wiser than any other region in Nigeria. Remember that power is transient, you have it today, tomorrow you don't.
Let me state here equivocally, that I'm against this protest, will not partake in it, neither will I encourage anyone to do so. But remember again, that power is transient.
Because Tinubu is in power today, you think you can bambooz other Nigerians.
Since the history of protest in Nigeria, especially in Lagos State, where has it been said that a court gave restrictions?
Under IBB, Abacha, Obj, G. E. J protests were held here in Lagos State without any court intervention, it's now that you are bringing court and Oro, because of protest you were head and tail involved in in the past.
Because Tinubu is in power, you are behaving like the bull in China's shop. It will end one day and Tinubu will be reckoned as an ex, just as Buhari and the rest.
Obj, took some decisions, that Yar'Adua upturned, don't forget this
Continue to misbehave, it just about 6yrs+, Tinubu will out.
Nigerians are watching. You will reap what you have sown soonest
A word is enough for the wise.

They can do bum rush to Aso Rock or National Assembly, the Court verdict is for Lagos.

Fuel subsidy protest of January 2012 took place at Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota and the Peace Park in Ketu.

The people that led this protest were the same people that led the 2010 protest that gave power to Jonathan as Acting President.

Mind you, blocking roads or forcefully closing marketplace or businesses can be resisted and protest turn to riots. If National Union of Roads Transport Workers or Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria decide they want to work to feed their families, blocking of roads might lead to confrontation.
I don't know why you people are comparing protest to industrial action. It's only industrial action that labour leaders call for the closure of government owned offices and banks affiliate. I have not seen an organised protest where the organiser call for the closure of any office. Yes, the protesters always block roads and burn tyres. Same way religion groups (churches and mosques) and party organisers also block roads whenever they are doing owambe. This is even common in Lagos and many southern states.
If you can tolerate all these groups blocking roads while can't you tolerate others when they block roads to demand for their rights, and not only their right but generality right for that matter. It just shows the level of intolerance on the part of some people for selfish and political reason.
