children with shallow brains. For your information, Buhari has never and will never gagged anyone that speaks against him. not ffk, fayose, sowore, odumakin, reno, not even nnamdi kanu. But one thing Buhari will not take lightly is anyone trying to destroy his beloved country Nigeria.
grin grin grin I guess those FULANI terrorists and all the big criminals living their best lives since 1960 are building up his beloved country Nigeria.

You are free to feign ignorance infact it is your right .... buh we know the political party that owns lagos thugs.
The thugs that shot at APC members at Obalende during the APC rally in 2019 must be APC thugs abi?

What about Niyi Raheem (a thug and PDP politician) who led his boys to attack INEC office in Agege?


If anyone would destabilise lagos certainly not with thugs/hoodlums. we all know the party these thugs pledge there loyalty
The thugs are more likely PDP thugs because they are the ones who usually destabilize Lagos when they go haywire. There are records of their atrocities, right from 1999. When Obanikoro was still in PDP, we know what the losses of lives and properties that his thugs caused Lagos State.

You can pretend to know nothing still your right but will you also feign ignorance to the video of thugs entering an executive suv. i am not sure the govt would wana coverup an opposition on that
Then, you are probably new to politics.

There are PDP thugs in Lagos.

If not that I have been trying to not point fingers since, I would have told you that the hoodlums that hijacked the EndSARS protest, and the destruction they caused resembles what PDP thugs have always done in Lagos, especially during election time.

the court of law has Said nobody needs a permit to carry out a protests, there is judgement about that. Yes the police are meant to keep law and order by protecting the protesters and making sure it was peaceful not arresting in a saner climes police only use force when protesters becomes violent but the case our police start to round up people for no reason....

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://nairametrics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JUDGEMENT-GIVING-NIGERIANS-THE-RIGHTS-TO-HOLD-A-RALLY.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiAocbJ3-fuAhWkSRUIHVdmCg0QFjALegQIGxAB&usg=AOvVaw3Sb-ag5YZ5o5pFpAzjfiji
Technically, you need a permit. It is not mandatory, but if you are marching, police can ask for a permit. If you don't have, nothing will happen to you. But it would limit your rights.


For example, you are marching on the street without a permit. Supposing you are obstructing traffic, if the police come to you and ask for a permit, and you don't have, they will force you onto the sidewalk which can negatively impact the essence of the protest in the first place.

If the protesters are many and are obstructing traffic, the police can look for a reason to break it up, EXCEPT you have a permit.

Because only a permit allows you to hold a large gathering, and to obstruct traffic. Permit protects you from the police, and they would only have the legitimate power to break it up if violence erupts.


So, why you don't need a permit to protest, a permit allows you to have a more unhindered protest than not having a permit.

Not having a permit limits your rights to hold a protest in the first place.

Without a permit, your protest cannot obstruct traffic, you cannot use sound systems... Because if you obstruct traffic and use a sound system without a permit, the police would deem it an illegitimate protest, and break it up. They might even make arrests.

When i say apc own lagos thugs, doesnt mean all thugs ofcus pdp have there own fraction of thugs. a yoruba adage says " ko le buru fun eni ti ti ko ma ku eyan kan mo'eni !
Lets reason things logically .... between the endsars protest & the hoodlums looting which is more beneficial to pdp,
Lets assume hoodlums did not hijack the protest, would it have been possible for the govt to discredit the movement & arrest unarm citizens, until hoodlums gave govt the leverage, so to whose advantage.
whoever sent those thugs did it to discredit the movement as been "hijacked" .... endsars is detrimental to apc govt why would pdp come to there rescue.

The EndSARS benefits PDP, but not any more than the destruction of Lagos benefits them. So, either way, PDP will benefit.

Politicians will go to any length to score a point. And when I say politicians, I don't mean Nigerian politicians alone.

Let me give you a brief background to the violence.

While the EndSARS protest was ongoing, the government quickly moved to meet the expectations of the protesters, including disbanding SARS.

Even though the protest was highly decentralized, it was backed by many popular activists and celebrities. But soon after the government disbanded SARS, prominent figures such as Aisha Yesufu withdrew and warned that some people were planning to hijack the protest. Protesters were begged to leave the street because there was information that some elements were preparing to take advantage of the peaceful protest to loot and kill.

How can APC be responsible for the wanton destruction that followed? The government disbanded SARS, released arrested protesters, and met other demands. How can anyone still accuse them of being behind the destruction that followed?

Do you want to tell me that those people that broke into the Oba of Lagos palace, vandalized TVC, burned down police stations, made an attempt on the life of the Osun state governor, vandalized National Theatre, were motivated by APC?

we are in a democracy and to the best of my knowledge, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. last time i checked the courts were functional and those you call big criminals like Orji Uzor Kalu, Tinubu, Atiku etc have all had their day in court. As for those you call fulani terrorist, it is a matter of opinion. all tribes have bad eggs. tagging everyone from that tribe bad is wrong. you cannot say all igbos are kidnappers, love peddlers, armed robbers and murderers while Yorubas are ritualist, drug peddlers,armed robbers, betrayers, etc. it is wrong. the few cannot make the whole. this is why we need to find a lasting solution.

We cant find. The leaders who know when and where to use their powers through the millitary and security forcess. Who decide which group to pamper and which group to clamp down, are the ones that have to take action to curb the mess happening in Nigeria. You and I have nothing to do with lasting solution. If we sugest, no one listens, if we protest, we are killed. You think those in power dont know the right thing to do?
The point is not about few wrongs, thenpoint is allowing thise wrong diers to move freely, protected and offered cash rewards for doing evil. People like you will be in a river and soap will blind your eyes. Keep decieving yourself.

mr divinehealer, not everything is black and white, there are shades of gray. if you've ever been a leader you will know that it is not easy to carry everyone along. now look at you. you heard a news from the net or papers, you never cared to verify it just because you hate the government in power, your mindset is made up on who is right or wrong. would it be easy to carry someone like you along. what is right to you may be wrong to others but government is in possession of all the fact to take the right action. look at the big picture.

Majority of the celebs, influencers and social media handles that incited the first and second protests are PDP and Atiku supporters too.

They invited hoodlums to join them and incited them to burn down Lagos.

We still have their receipts.

Nobody needs lagos destroyed, endsars protest was gaining a momentum that which incapacitate the govt, any govt will be desperate to get back control, so how do you get back control, you discredit the movement, and thats were hoodlums comes in.
Like i said earlier, destroying & losing there own properties in one day is a small price to pay to gain "control" . yorubas will say ile oba toh jona ewa lo bukun. those properties will be rebuilt with state funds not personal money grin judging from whu the major beneficiaries are why would pdp do apc such a big favour.

You already forgot that before EndSARS, coronavirus and ASUU were already pressurizing the government.

Why would a government struggling desperately to avoid recession sponsor thugs to destroy its properties?

Go and do your research everything destroyed plus sanwo olu family house have been duely appropriated for with lagos state fund.

How do you diffentiate hoodlums and angry protesters??

How can you believe a govt in power that has the millitary and police at it's call will resort to dropping and picking up thugs with their official vehicles?? A govt in power will burn down it's own state and sources of revenue, the governor's mother's house etc?? Turn Tinubu to a major target ??

My take is people are behind the scene trying to escalate the situation to suit their political agenda.
