Tunami:
what is this one saying?

kingzizzy:



You people are really funny. The story you posted above involved violence by the people involved. What has that got to do with peaceful protesters who engaged in no violence? Or don't you understand basic English? So waving a flag is violence? Singing solidarity songs is violence? Coming out in mass and blocking a road is violence? How is being a public nuisance an act of violence worthy of shooting people? This uncivilised mentality of the black race is why we nowhere

FOLYKAZE:


There is nothing peaceful in blocking the federal road for days.

There is nothing peaceful in public disturbance.

There is nothing peaceful in burning down trucks belong to Dangote.

There is nothing peaceful in burning mosques and attacking Hausas.

There is nothing peaceful in initimidating, harrassing non protesters.

There is nothing peaceful in a protest that is turning blooding.

There is nothing peaceful in a protest against the sovereignty of the state.
