Prominent Lagosians Seek Dissolution Of Lekki Tollgate by adenigga(m): 6:29am On Nov 11, 2020
• Obasa says #EndSARS violence devastates Lagos economy

• Makinde inaugurates 11-man judicial panel on injustice, police brutality

Some prominent Lagosians, including Chief Alaba Williams, Bashorun Jaiye Randle, Ade Dosunmu and Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, have urged immediate scrapping of Lekki Tollgate to “alleviate the economic burden of residents and ease free-flow of traffic in the area.”

In a 12-point communiqué issued after their maiden meeting, they charged the Federal Government on bringing to justice military killers of the peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the plaza on October 20, 2020.

The concerned citizens also urged prosecution of arsonists and hoodlums behind destruction of public and private property in the state as deterrent to others.

The gathering, which identified remote and immediate causes of the crisis to include high graduate unemployment and influx of people from other states, deplored alleged meddlesomeness by the political class in the selection of traditional rulers.

MEANWHILE, Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, has said that the aftermath of the recent #EndSARS protests across the country devastated the economy of Lagos State.

Obasa, who spoke during the presentation of the 2021 Appropriation Bill by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Assembly, yesterday, said the devastating effects of the destructions that followed the protests in the state were beyond imagination.

According to him, “the anarchy, burning and looting of businesses have hit the economy with a blow beneath the belt.

IN a related development, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, yesterday, inaugurated an 11-man judicial panel of inquiry to investigate human rights violation, police brutality and extra-judicial killings.

The panel comprises Justice Badejoko Adeniji (Chairman), Prof. J. Oluwole Akintayo, Mrs. Wunmi F. Odutayo, Nasir Sulaiman, Mary Kolawole, Babatunde Oduyoye, Mrs. Mariam Badmus, O. Akintayo, Falowo Saheed, Adebobola Agbeja and Mrs. Olufolakemi O. Ogundele (Secretary).

Makinde, who inaugurated the panel at the State Executive Council Chambers, Governor’s Office, Ibadan, said the state government took time before constituting the panel to ensure quality representation and clarity of cases the panel would handle.

He said that over 50 petitions had been received and implored other residents who might have issues of human rights violation, police brutality and extra-judicial killings to seek redress with the panel.

The fact that Lekki tollplaza was a point where the #EndSARS protests witnessed its most gory incident, makes it a site that should be remembered like the Tiamen Square in China.

LOOK AT THE FOOLISH TALK ABOVE AS IF THEY CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE. But corruption never leads to economic downfall?

-Poverty is not joblessness. It is a political ideology, it is the setting of boundary between members of the public and members of the government. They inject pain into the system. Jobs became useless and workers became beggars. All for one reason i.e to take the lead and Keep people as slaves and the slaves became monsters. The same monsters serve as political tools for electoral malpractice and violence.

Do you expect monsters to act or look like angels?

-Governments are merchants of hunger and poverty to keep the population submissive. Poverty programmed system by the corrupt politicians makes the populace easier to control.

When the monsters they created lynches on them due to the unbearable painful systematic circumstances, they manipulate the gullibles in making themselves as saviours and gods who care for the masses.

All of a sudden Dr fauci is now calling the Pfizer vaccine development " extraordinary and exiting" ........ This is the same Dr fauci that doubt the development of vaccine within this year, infact he was stating that it is NOT possible for a vaccine to be in use this year, he was saying that vaccine will be available middle of next year and the large scale distribution of vaccine to the general public might begin in 2022 ? Infact he was expressing concerned and discouraging people from taking the vaccine incase trump administration approved it usage this year..... Even new York governor was even talking about rejected this same Pfizer vaccine from entering new York if it is approved before election......... infact head of FDA was even saying that "this nose mask can even protect me more than the vaccine".... And according to a report in medical journal it is clearly stated that the nose mask can only stop you from spreading the virus by blocking your fluid from others when sneezing But the same mask can not stop you from getting infected when worned if others are not wearing mask. Infact it was discovered the 89% of the people that wore mask still get infected. All this is call election politics and they have won. And now that trump has lost election, all of a sudden there is a covid vaccine which is 90% efficient and is good for everyone including CNN...... The vaccine is now safe under Biden but under trump the same vaccine was bad and CNN warned everyone against it.
Very soon all the major countries around the world will come up with highly efficient vaccine because trump has been defeated. The aim of Corona virus has been achieve, i.e to remove trump from office...... I can bet with everything I have that no one will ever know the origin of Corona virus, it will for ever be buried in secretcy by world powers including world health organization.

Very soon ampicillin, hydroxy chloroquine, paracetamol will miraculous be approved by CDC and world health for treating Corona virus because trump is no more the president.
All of a sudden covid news is no more number one problem for America.
All of a sudden people can begin to gather in large crowd without the dangers of covid.
The vaccine that trump says will be ready by the end of October is miraculously ready after election simply because they didn't want trump to take the glory, infact they didn't want the vaccine development to give trump the advantage of winning during election.
Americans have been decieved..... After Corona virus which will eventually finish early next year, what is the economy recovery plans of Biden within the next four years....? His campaign was all about virus virus virus and death! No plans for economy.....
Now that the vaccine has come out before his administration has began..... What will be his other plans for the next four years? Nothing.
Now the new York governor coumo is even trying to lobby against trump administration, trying to stop it from distributing the vaccine.... According to coumo " it is bad that the vaccine is out during trump administration" . .. this is Because within the next two months Trump will end up accomplishing all the campaign promises (Corona virus solution) that Biden promise Americans within his next four years thereby leaving Biden with little or nothing to do within the next four years.


New world order.... And I refuse to be part of it
When i talk about new world order, i don't mean conspiracy theories.... I don't believe in Obama beast and trump saviour.

My only anger is that this leaders are intentionally killing us with so many virus that the manufacture from lab.... They cause the problem, they prevent the people from investigating.... They have the cure/vaccine which they have refused to distribute it to people. And they want a certain percentage of people to die before they start distribution........... They want a certain candidate to win election before they start distribution.

This is bad....... They are using the people as game



when I am talking about new world order i am not referring to a conspiracy theory.......

New world order is a clear fact that is currently sweeping around the world now.

For example.... U talk of BLM movement or black lives matter..... The far left democrat in America started kneeling down and pumping their fist and now everybody around the world is kneeling down and punching their fist Including premier league players.
Gays and homosexual right stated in America, Now the whole world is legalizing gay and homosexual including African countries.... Even the pope is trying to legalized it ....... Anglican Church have already legalized it.

Abortion Is legalized in all democrat state...... And now the wave have spread to Europe and the whole world...... Almost all European countries have approved abortion..
This woke culture started in democrat run state in America and spread across the world..... And now they are even deciding what is racist and what is not...... So many words have been changed in the dictionary just because the left has called it racist. So many professionals have lost their jobs from saying a regular words just because the left have tagged those words racist.......... There is no more freedom of speech except for the left..... There is no more freedom of gathering or protest except for the left....... Infact tweeter, Facebook and Google has started blocking people personal account, censoring people personal view... Infact the world is going crazy and it is cause by the left.

All the main madia cnn, BBC, arjazira, Washington and new York times, arise news, sky news etc are reporting on and focusing on the left agenda......... Nothing is heard from the right....... they are only bad news and are deliberately attacking the right view

This is what is call new world order.............
The left want to deliberately change the way things are done in the world in order to favor them only... Even if it means encouraging violence and recking havoc in the world

Scrapping the Lekki Toll gate would be a foolish thing to do as it would send the wrong signal to potential investors who want to do a Public Private Partnership with the government undecided
