I never claimed to support the protest in the first place. My bone of contention is why would you use live ammunition’s on the street? Why kill unarmed people??

richmanrichard:
sorry but no sorry, the time for peaceful protest is dead. it can never bring anything good now

Jakemedg:
It seems you've forgotten that we have snitches who are ready to allow government use them to sabotage the efforts of the protesters

GoldenVivi:
Who is afraid of the Nigerian Youths Revolution?*

Last night the Federal Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed was on the National Television, the NTA, ostensibly to educate Nigerians on what the Buhari government has done to pacify the EndSars Nigerian Youths protesters.

Maybe due to the weight of the subject or the scare most the government people have received since the protests started, Mr. Lai Mohammed, looked pale and sickly. He was beside himself without his usual gift of sophistry. And he, of course, laboured hard to do justice to the topic.

I was not convinced in the least. I do not know about you.

During the course of the programme, Alhaji Lai kept repeating the fact that the government had granted all the requests of the protesters and yet they have refused to leave the streets and allow for a free flow of human and vehicular traffic.

He even went as far using the unfortunate incident at Osun State involving Governor Gboyega Oyetola as a case study that the protests have been hijacked by what he called, " the enemies of the country". And he, like other highly placed Nigerians and the beneficiaries of the lopsided system Nigeria operates, is frantically looking for the the sponsors of the EndSars Movement.

In a note of resignation, Lai Mohammed who eventually occupied a major portion of today's Radio Nigerian news with his preachment on the futility of continuing with the protests, asked, "What do the protesters want?"

I will answer him right away.

Mr. Lai Mohammed, Nigerian Youths are tired of the system that has made Nigerians fugitives, refugees, and victims of government insensitivity, in their own country. And there are thousands of reasons for such a protest to go on and on.

While the problem did not start with the Buhari government but an objective analysis of his administration will reveal a sinister plot of the gradual *Northernization* of the Nigerian Federation.

Never in the history of this country has a President been this insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. Nor is there any comparison in our history of the kind of ethnic agenda the Buhari government is a champion of.

*are all headed by the people from the North*

Buhari has *captured* Nigeria for his people.


What Othman Danfodio could not do with his sword. What Ahmadu Bello failed to achieve despite his aristocratic posturing. What IBB never contemplated even with his guile. What Abacha never thought of with his brashness and devil may care attitude.

*But Buhari has done it.*

And will someone inform Mr. Lai Mohammed that none of the federations that were structured the way Nigeria is now ever lived to tell their stories?

Nigerian Youths want besides a holistic *Police Reform*,

*Judicial Reform*
*A People's Constitution*
*Electoral Reform*
*Civil Service Reform*
*Access to opportunities*
*End to Quota System*
*Reduction in the Cost of Governance*
*Health Sector Reform*
*Education Sector Reform*
*End to the State of Origin Requirement*
*Transparency in Government business,*
among others.

If President Buhari cannot guarantee the fulfilment of these demands in record time, then let him resign and go home.


In the meantime, *Let the Protests go on. Nigeria belongs to the Youths!*

Vaughanlanrewaj:
By this time tomorrow, we would have fully removed the looters and arsonists from the genuine protesters.

Even June 12 that is more violent than this protest did not kill Nigeria . Nigeria is alive and just made another curve with this experience. Nigeria won.

hakeem4:
Anarchy you want and anarchy the youths shall give!

Why would armed soldiers be shooting in the street with live ammunition’s? What happened to rubber bullets ??

At least 90% of us witnessed the Hong Kong protest and we saw how peaceful it was.

Belarus is on day 72 protest. Ordinary 12 days protest. Buhari doesn’t want us to rest.

michjunior:
Peace kill you there.....is this how peace is restored?
blood suckers

Adakintroy:
Shut up fool.

Why would you block the toll gate that is a major entry point to the island and still call it a peacefull protest.

R.i.p to the dead.

n3xt:
Eniola Badmus killed

thebosstrevor1:
you dont have to because you are full of lies

SalamRushdie:
From now henceforth no more paying toll to Tinubu !!!!!! Every toll gate is now a memorial for those that lost their lives in the Lekki Toll Gate Massacre

Adakintroy:
Because respect is reciprocal.

You block a major entry point in and out of the island... You are costing the government millions by the day. The government issued a warning for you to leave and place a coffew is impose.

Oga I don tire to give you pointers.

HBB1:
How do you engage them, Socrates?

Nchenches:
Develop more sense. June 12 protest was not up to 5% of today’s protest in intensity and spread.


We are liberating southern Nigeria from internal colonization, internal colonization that started after northern soldiers restructured Nigeria and supervised a constitution to legit the fraudulent political structure and governance system.

The internal colonization has been sustained by brutality of the armed forces in the south.

Adakintroy:
Nine people confirm dead according to reports.


Oya no face protester leaders come carry more bodies.

Una never see police brutality una wan form Americana.

With the rubbish police system we have how many of you are being rubbed on the streets.

You fail to respect the police and honor them. You use the few bad ones to generalize because you all are trying to justify greiviance.

You will withness real brutalities.

No go inside and wait for the next elections.

You say Jonathan was weak..behold a strong leader. Na for una body.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Please kindly stay away from the arsonists and hoodlums. The government is now on top of things.
God bless Nigeria.

Sirfeeking:
I live in Lekki phase one,some of us heard gunshots and we saw the videos on twitter and instagram.You are a Buharideen,I don't expect much from you.

Omoslim26:
This is the worse to befall dis Country

pls let's halt dis protest for now
there are many ways to kill a bird

we can choose to from hence for boycott any election till they restructure this Failed state
we can wait for them come 2023

let's be alive and plan
only the living fight

DemonInvoker:
I Hope the UN is still watching,they wouldn't give us a referendum on this because they already know our minds,they declare curfews amid vital protests on matters arising and did not flinch at sending soldiers to finish unarmed protesters.
I spit on Nigeria my Country.
Don't let them blackmail you...Our Leaders I've always been the problem and not the Lazy Youths.

KimberlyWest:
people's unarmed kids were shot dead. They have no justifiable reason to use live ammunition on an unarmed citizen who's holding up the nation's flag and singing the national anthem.

Nchenches:
Develop more sense. June 12 protest was not up to 5% of today’s protest in intensity and spread.


We are liberating southern Nigeria from internal colonization, internal colonization that started after northern soldiers restructured Nigeria and supervised a constitution to legit the fraudulent political structure and governance system.

thebosstrevor1:
You see

Peaceful Protesters Burning down infrastructures built with your own money

Edopesin:
The legit protesters should go home and save yourselves, the army have a justifiable reason to use excess force to stop this lawlessness being perpetuated by the hoodlums under the guise of EndSARS protesters

thebosstrevor1:
the army didnt shoot at any protesters, they shot in the air

What do you gain in spreading fake news

this is the video

https://twitter.com/9jastudios/status/1318665816817213442

charsola:
