Oga, why were all these personnels not deployed since with the high level of insecurity in Abuja and it's neighbouring States?

Who says they weren't?

gozmok1:
Lagos is home to all Nigerians. Lagos is property of nobody.
When Akinola Aguda recommended that capital of Nigeria be relocated to Abuja, too many Yorubas followed to Abuja for lucre.
But too many Igbos remained behind in Lagos, contribute to development of Lagos till today.
Crude oyel proceeds from the Niger delta region also helped to build Lagos. Igbos don't destroy what they built.



Only a handful of Aboki will reduce ronu f00ls talking now to nothing. Ofemanú people are illlivered. I Don't take their ranting to be serious. The only thing they can do to harm or hurt you, is back biting, back stabbing, betrayal and double standard. A typical ofemanú man is a coward!

Every second line in this pile of trash contains a tribal slur. Tomorrow these ones will be on Twitter crying that nairaland is tribalistic.

Clown!

Mrtaye:
Eni buru mo

I don't know what that means sir.

Shollez:
Why not Sambisa instead of innocent people that wanted to fight for their right 🤷‍♂️

Did you read the write up?

culf:
What a country! Nigeria is a very funny country.

Really what have they done wrong now? They said they want to secure protesters and prevent hoodlums from hijacking the protest... You still have a problem with this?

Funny. If a man wants you, no matter how shy he is, he will eventually find a way to make a move.

Mrtaye:
All this una reverse psychology and propaganda is what is also fueling the protest

What reverse psychology is that?

IAmHim1:
NNPC could pay you #800,000

And that would seem like big money to you

But really, is it

Your #800,000 is just $500 at $1 =#1600

Note: I'm not saying reject NNPC offer. I'm saying weigh your options because your salary is going to appear to be BIGGER the more naira loses value. SO HEADS UP!

You just want to talk. Jobless youths should weigh up which options?

CyrusVI:
You are Two-faced
In the other threads where some Yoruba people said they were against the protest, you accused them of being tribal and that u would protest, but now that your brothers over there against it, this is all u have to say

You talk from every sides of the mouth. You are representing your confused people well

You are acting surprised

Same Portable:

“Nigerians unite for football but cannot unite to protest against d hardship in the land. Shey na Afcon cup una go chop”??

https://www.nairaland.com/7994604/portable-must-also-unite-protest


On that thread I mentioned how funny you people were for taking the young lad seriously. Same funniness you are exhibiting now!

Focus on the message - even though by the timing of the message I know Portable is just being an attention seeker. All this while he never spoke up - why is it when we are going to play finals he wasn'ts to ride on that momentum to be the center of attention again? Una dey too easy to whine.

Thrasher2024:
why did he implement it now?

There could be a range of reasons - but the question isn't whether it is cynical, it is how did he arrive at the particular conclusion that killing protesters is the goal? Couldn't it just be so that they too don't join the protest? Why go for the most extreme interpretation?

Beyond this, do you feel a 20% pension increment is the most immediate concern of the average soldier? If that were the goal, wouldn't they give them a more immediate benefit??

Macphenson:
When qe twll una say u a no get sense e go be like insult. Did I tell u I drink pepper soup with them Oya since u want me to talk let me talk.

They are the useless omoniles that go from site to site extorting hard working Nigerians like us. They came to my site as always to collect money for casting as I was casting a slab that day.

In my line of job as an engineer, I encounter a lot of useless and good for nothing miscreants in the name of omonile.

Shebi u don hear or should I explain more.

And in the process of moving from site to site to beg he had the time to sit with you and tell you all about how he used to snatch ballot boxes and the upcoming plans.

Have you tried Nollywood?

Macphenson:
Let me tell u this, Your yoruba APC Lagos people are the ones going to protest. I was shocked one thug I know that snatches ballot box during elections said they were going to protest.Out of curiosity I reminded him that it is the party he worked for during election that is in power so why is he protesting? He told me there are some babas behind the scene that are sponsoring them to protest because people are hungry and angry irrespective of tribe or religion.

So you know a thug that snatches ballot boxes and he sat down with you over drinks and pepper soup to discuss his plans for the upcoming protest....

I would really love to be a fly on the wall on your mind to see how your thoughts are formed.

Zwooks:
Wonderful. We now have two presidents. In what capacity is Wike meeting the security heads ?

All of those people there serve under the president as appointees.. If he wishes that they meet to discuss an issue how does that imply the existence of a second president?

When the governors met with the security chiefs the other day, did that make then second presidents?

Another day to deal with Nigerians and rubbish. Let's go!

ugodson:
The only way they could be exposed is if a new government immerge. No one can cast him while his father is on d sit

So how did you get your own info??

ugodson:
It may not be his own but the truth is not far from the current Nigerian presidents so Seyi Tinubu

Tell us more... you seem to have some info!

frog12:
dem borrow money from afriexim bank to buy 20 percent stake for the company. after dem almost finish, now dem dey say only 7 percent. so wetin happen to the rest of the money?? na as far as i know. if cbn give am preferential rate, na efcc dey look at that.

So how much did they put into the refinery? Can you see how you are stuttering with nothing meaningful tosay?

This is a simple question you should be able to answer since you were very bold in making the accusation in the first place. All of a sudden its now you know that the EFCC should know better.

Obviously NNPC diverted the loan which is why they only have 7%. And was that investment meant to help Dangote or it was meant to help Nigeria by securung a substantial shareholding for the country?

SMH!

frog12:
you see everything wrong with nigeria. govt no say other modular refineries dey there and others dey come up, but dem come dey pump money into dangote refinery. dey buy stakes, giving him preferential treatement over others

Can you share specifically exactly how much the government put into Dangote's refinery?

dfrost:
You just read my mind.

Only in Nigeria, someone with no track record of business, management or anything starts building on massive projects e.g Invictus.

🤣😂

It's everywhere not only in Nigeria. But yes this one doesn't look good especially considering how one of the directors is a former NNPC staff

Smartcitizen:
Okay we are following the man called Tinubu.

He became president after his negativity.

We will also succeed like him.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Enjoy!

Smartcitizen:
Mr commando, well done o!

Since you people started this your commendation in Nigeria, how market?

You have moved from better standard of living to ground zero and still remain stupid.

Don't worry just get ready to pass on to your children's chair children this commendation life.

Believe me I barely skimmed through whatever you said because you have nothing to offer. I know your type. Just take my advice young fellow: negativity is scientifically proven to damage the brain.

Smartcitizen:
AS IF THEY ARE BETTER.

USELESS PEOPLE.

A brain that is wired to wallow in negativity. Instead of commending these specific soldiers you asked if soldiers in general are better. Well, those innocent Nigerian who had their money returned to them would gladly say yes!

SensetionalGoal:
Jjjjghh

What does Tinubu have to do with it? Sowore is and has always been my candidate and he represents my interests. You have no business complaining when any of us asks him not to lead or participate in this protest. You are a meddlesome parasite roaming about seeking men of integrity to take advantage of.

What about your leader? He is too good to protest with you but quick to write long messages pushing others to do so.

Don't you see how useless you are to to them? Shouldn't you have realized by now that you are the fool here?

SensetionalGoal:
Are you ok...
Speak for yourself and let sowore speak for himself all man for himself now

Hypocrite! What is wrong with your presidential candidate? Don't they represent your interests?

So the protest will end when all these are granted or merely when they promise to grant them?Setting the whole thing up for failure.

tuzle:
why would I feel threatened by what the oba said? I am pointing out the fact that in Nigerian, people have to make statement about accommodating other people from the same country just because they are from different state which is wrong. Also I pointed out the fact that the endsars thing was a one time thing and not something that has occured regularly. We have had protest after that and before that and there was nothing like destruction of property. Even during the occupy Nigeria, we didn't have destruction of property, so why do they bring it up anytime a protest want to happen like it is the usual thing that happens every time.

It's not wrong to talk about hosting other Nigerians because we operate a federation and one of the principles under that structure is that everyone has what is called a State of Origin, and when you step out of that State, you become a stranger to some extent. It is also necessary on a common sense level to recognize that Nigeria is uniquely diverse, thus there are nuances in our shared existence that may be unusual in global context. One of such is that we have areas that were, generally settled by homogeneous groups with distinct cultures. For harmony between such groups, it is necessary to have some concept of behavioural boundaries.

As regards the fact that there haven't been numerous destructive protests, the fact is that as we say in sports, you are only as good as your last game. So since the last game was a violent one, what else would be expected of the next one, particularly when it is being driven by roughly the same group of people as the last time?

Tempulated:
Oponu so you think all the masses are foools like you right. Army go off hin uniform run when they meet their match.

Try to eat well and rest well too, okay? You will be fine. Also make sure you have a social circle you can express your challenges to.

highchief1:
baba na dem sabi o.i just Dey feel for my relatives and siblings.no juju fit make me poor again.but again there’s no country moving in the direction Nigeria is moving.not even Zimbabwe and it hurts me

The truth is that the global economy works in cycles. Soon there will be another cycle of economic growth and most countries will start to do better again.

highchief1:
if armed forces wan join govt na them sabi.how much be their salary.some of us are even fighting fit them.im not a public servant.Houses when I don get it I w see n Dey live on rent 100yrs time I no go find food.i expect the military to support the masses with their body language.many did during end sars.because of the oath of office they can’t chest out

If the masses want tacit support they must protest moderately. Once violence enters, you will force them to pick a side and in Nigerian 99% that side will be the government.

yemex04:
When a protest is tagged "Day of Rage" there is nothing more to tell, it is self expressive.

I wonder why they chose "rage" when "outrage" would have expressed the severity of the situation just as well, without the same suggestiveness of an incitement to violence.
