When in battle and you see your enemy retreating, you don’t run after them, it may be a trap. Let them go and re-strategize for the next battle. We had the government retreat when they gave into our demands, but we pushed our lucks too far and it lead us right into a trap. The incitement on Twitter by Aisha Yesufu and some other influencers that are tucked away in other countries made us push our luck too far.

Seun Kuti was right after all. We oppress ourselves in this nation. Same thing happened in some parts of lagos too. Hoodlums mount road blocks and extort people.

Genuine protesters stay home o.

These guys can just copy how other countries SWAT teams are geared up and trained and replicate here.

It’s not the government’s fault. I blame NLC and other unions that always seek negotiation to end a strike or struggle. Why the hell are these guys asking for negotiations? All we ask for is give us 5for5, there’s nothing to negotiate here. We no ask una for money.

You don’t have to remind us

Your monicker says it all.

Must they contest under APC or PDP

The truth is that running a country needs a lot of experience

We cannot Carry a big country like Nigeria in the hands of the kind of young people that are being mentioned on this thread

We need people that can hold their own

Bro, these oldies have proven to us time over that their experiences have not in any way helped the development of this Nation. The ones that have good books can give advises, they do not have to be in charge.

These oldies are still laughing? It's a joke to them I guess. Make we dey smile dey go

Poverty you guys created, you are worried about? #endbadgovernanceinNigeria

Police no dey renovate their quarters?

Panel beaters generation. Always raising panels for every reason.

The police isn’t our enemy after all. We no hate una.

This Buhari sef dey always act like person wey I no understand. Why u go even think of nominating your party member as INEC commissioner.

Very interesting, Lagosian by birth. Like I submitted, when they are able to hack Lagos state official website and shed deals exposed, then the onus will be on the powers that be to defend the allegations. Tinubu has been out of office since 2007 and the administrations of Yar' adua and GEJ could not try him for corruption. When pressurized, Gej took him to the code of conduct tribunal - only for him to be freed from the trumped up charges.

I have never met Tinubu, I am not a card carrying member of any political party and I am a realist. If OBJ can not pin any substantial case of corruption on him despite the enmity between them. It now appears to discerning observers that all the cry of "Tinubu is corrupt" is just a product of hatred and nothing more.

Just like you, I am a Lagosian as well, born at Lagos island maternity and my ancestral home is in Ikorodu and my mother is an Awori. We should both be seeking the goodness. of our state.

I seek only the greatness of this state, it irks me when they keep saying Tinubu drafted a masterplan. Let's face the reality bro, Tinubu was not this rich before he became governor. Have you seen the pension bill he signed while in office? Governor and deputy governor's pensions. That is robbery and it is too much for people that only served for 8 years maximum, whereas teachers pensions and gratuity are held till after three years of their retirement. How much is the gratuity and pension that they cannot pay them after 3 months of retirement? What do they expect them to feed off for those three years; for those without another means of livelihood or well to do kids? Before you ask if Tinubu did this, yes the bill was signed during his second term.

emperor863:
They have not been able to hack Lagos state official website. The one hacked is Edo state site where they have exposed a lot of huge contract awards that were not executed despite the fact that billions of Naira was paid.

Deal with that. Leave Lagos state for now. When hey hack Lagos site, we'd discuss that.

Bloody hypocrite.

Alaye calm down. Firstly I am a Lagosian by birth. I am an Awori. My LGA of origin is Amuwo Odofin; my home town is Ibeshe the one at Amuwo Odofin. Lagos has been looted by one man for years and he still feels he’s god. This isn’t hypocrisy. I do not like Tinubu, I will not pretend Lagos is developed compared to the billions generated as IGR monthly. There are several roads within Lagos that have never for once being tarred till this moment. Nothing concern me and Edo, Lagos should be way better than what it is now. Alh. Jakande built hundreds of flats of low cost estates in 4 years in the 80s, these guys have not built up to half of what Alh. Jakande built in their 20 years in power.

Ejoo can they hack Lagos accounts and transactions too

Her voice isn’t necessary. Our voices are louder and have been heard. Na we get our struggles. No be by force for any outsider to join.

We won't condemning evil until muslims take heed

As a Muslim it's not permissible to participate in protest, either peaceful or not

Protesting is a form of major sin..

Well, let God be the judge of that. I will protest against bad governance any day any time, anywhere. Stop letting these guys use religion to hold you back.

Muslims do not or should not vote? And if you ask Muslims not to vote and participate in democracy and letting your grievances known, does that not translate into dying in silence? Our fathers, mothers and grandparents prayed for our leaders to have a change of heart, did they? Can you explain why their hearts still remained wicked and stone hearted? Don’t compare Nigeria to the Arabs, our leaders here are evil and evil should never be allowed to thrive. They’re wicked and protesting against their oppressive rules over the years isn’t bad and God no go vex for us. We are not criticizing them publicly, they all have social media handles so they see it. Or how do you expect us to hold their hands and talk to them that what they’re doing is bad when they’re not even anywhere close to us.

Soldiers do extort motorists on the highways too.

No you are from potopoto republic.


#EndProtestNow

Let the Government do their job

Potopoto republic no be bad place to come from. I so much admire their enterprising spirit and nature.

AllOfUsAtManna:
this is how a typical yeroba Muslim thinks

Tueh!


Tinubu is a bastard drug dealing vagabond

I be yoruba Muslim o. But I no follow this guy dumb. Tinubu na big thief. I’ve never liked that guy. And never will.

myBraine:
Typical Nigerian mentality.

Can't an accomplished politician prosper in peace again?

A man that singlehandedly built Lagos from scratch doesn't deserve to own a mansion. Now I know how backward people's reasoning are in this part of the world.

He didn’t build any Lagos Mr man.

Dear youth. Where we should target is the legislative arm first. An where the real work and problems Dey be that. If we are to restructure or change the course of this country, it’ll be done through laws, not by being president.

Africonji:
Smh. See dem. Lazy youths. Their parents have all failed them yet they are blaming government. Their parents are the ones they should be protesting against for failing them instead of government. SARS has been banned, yet they are still protesting. This has been hijacked by unscrupulous elements.

Who are the governmen/politicians they are protesting against? Are they not their uncles, fathers, relatives, civil servants? All these lazy bums will do worse than the politicians they are castigating if they taste power.

Buhari is very incompetent. If he does not deploy security agencies to stop these anarchists, Trump style, then he should be impeached by the National Assembly with immediate effect. Nonsense.

You're stupid.

Alaye, you dey part. You received jumbo pay and u no do anything to reduce una salaries while in the senate. Werey wan disguise.

JAMO84:
Too much of everything is bad. It's time to move from protest to action.

Some people in government are beginning to see these protests as a plot to remove Buhari, if that is the case, the north would raise hell. They are already holding counter protests in Kano and other northern cities.

Nobody is removing buhari. We can’t. We relegate all these agbayas democratically. But for now , we must let them know they’ve been really bad.
