Of course it might be. I didn’t say he was part of the people who vandalized the banks. Only he knows. I simply asked why was he in their midst.

Olasyke:
This is Nigeria, it might just be a stray bullet.

But these were armed people attacking and trying to break into a bank. Not unarmed protesters.

CharleyBright:
Must the police use live bullets to diaperse unarmed protesters??

[color=#006600][/color] My friend that's not the right thing to say to someone that just lost a loved one.....no matter what empathy supposed to come from you. It might be your turn tomorrow.

You exercised extremely poor judgement in your comment. Apologise to the grieving relative and quit justifying your comment.

I will leave you with words of wisdom from Detective Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) in the classic movie Glass Onion. He was addressing a character who felt she was always picked on for being able to speak aloud what everyone else was too hypocritical, afraid or conservative to say. He said the following to her; " It's a dangerous thing to MISTAKE speaking WITHOUT THOUGHT for speaking the truth". You, my friend,with your comment, just did that.

Apologise to the relative of the dead.

Remember this though, your father is a Nigerian, your mother is a Nigerian, you are Nigerian.

Babalegba:
This kind of question is what makes me think Nigerians are innately stupid.

Chrisvotel:
was it not Fidelity Bank manager that was arrested by efcc for hoarding 20million naira new notes,what of the one that was caught with cash wrap in nylon on the ATM, Abi you nor read the news,if the banks are not selling the new notes how come you can't withdraw new notes in the ATM but pos operators have enough to sell are they cbn who can print money,people like you are the problem of Nigeria always supporting evil

It’s a valid question in understanding his predicament and ultimately that of his family. It is a question, not a statement.

TOPCRUISE:
That is savage o. You don't have anything good to say. The family is mourning and you spill this shit

OlawaleBammie:
have u confirmed if he's one of the destroyers or he just went to save his money as usual but was unfortunate to meet his death??


Talk like a human, don't talk like a baboon

SenecaTheYonger:
idiot. Stray bullet could hit you even if you are not destroying things. Bullets don't have a mind of its own

I brought white people into the discussion because that's the narrative y'all always like to draw

I know you are one of them.

Skankamola:
This question is too childish mr itk.

Can you prove it?

Revolution2022:
Why are banks hoarding the new naira notes from the owners and only selling to POS operators?

Who are you people? Who bring the idea of white people into the discussion? You. Even in the USA, people die during protests. It happpens. It does not excuse wreckless and criminal behavior.

internationalman:
You people think we Nigerians are more violent than the the average white people but that's a lie.

If those people went through half of what we go through in this Nation they would do worse.

Y'all saw what happened with Capitol building in the US during pro Trump protest.

mr1759:
What kind of question is that ? Why was Nigeria government frustrating her citizens with bad policy, e be like this situation doesn't get to you

E reach my side sef. But I no go join anybody to go destroy other people business because say I Dey protest. If to say Na cbn office then attack sef, I for no worry. But attacking private entities that are as stressed as you are is not a way to protest. The query these banks have received from their customers within the last few weeks have been exponential. They’ve had to work overtime even with minimal resources so e Dey reach them too. Some people would have to lose their jobs for all the vandalism that happened. This won’t be a Buhari problem but problems for private citizens when have also been victims of the same policy you are protesting. People must learn to channel their protests to the adequate quarters. Also people must know to differentiate protesting from criminal behaviors like vandalism and looting!

internationalman:
Exactly. People that are actively involved in the protest hardly get hit by stray bullets...

By the way how can a police restrain protesters with real bullets.

Those were not protesters. Those were people trying to break into a bank as evidenced by the pictures with parts of the banks destroyed and exposed. That’s not how to protest!

The relevance is that vandalism is a crime. It’s always best to stay away from criminals. When people send broadcasts like “them Dey riot for so so place, avoid that area until peace is restored”, e get why.

I am not happy with the way this policy he been handled but I will not be in the midst of people causing mayhem in the name of protests.

As you said though, only he could have explained properly but o ti lo.

internationalman:
He's in a better position to answer that question but he can't now because he's dead.

Other people you saw destroying those Banks are also people's cousins, brothers, uncle, fathers inlaws etc. So what's the relevance of this your question.

Modified : His friends said they were not even actively participating in the violent protest. They were just passers-by who happened to be in the crossfire..

It could be a lie or not. Nobody knows anymore than the dead 19 year old Osamuyi.

Nonsense yarns! So after your turn, you waited for all of them (80 people, all Pos operators except you) to keep going turn by turn until they went around 10 times? 🤦🏼‍♂️

internationalman:
One of the boys that was killed yesterday (the one with GSW to the chest) was my cousin...

It's been a sad atmospheric condition in my family since yesterday..

Why your cousin Dey in the midst of people wey Dey destroy other people business?

I’ll assume you don’t know what context ‘federal government ‘ is used here. Federal government here implies the executive, the court ... the judiciary, National Assembly... the legislature. You can back and read my initial post now.

hush15:
The courts itself is part of the federal government.

Unfortunately, our court system is a toothless dog when it comes to dealing with the federal government.

Why are we always negative towards a brilliant change

The best thing is to go completely cashless, but it has to be gradual, all these unrests are just artificial

What business do you want to do to be withdrawing millions daily when you can just transfer it directly?

It is safer, faster and much more reliable cos it can be traced but una just like to go through the very nonsensical routes always

All these ones go Dey make legit boys feel inadequate. Firing squad straight abeg.

What about the many Nigerian grassroots sports persons who collapsed and died during sports despite not being vaccinated?

obiekunie01:
THE EFFECT OF THE VACCINE!

weakens the arteries and the heart.

i know many will NOT gerrit!

The process will take up to 4 weeks (with a chance that it’ll fail).

I don’t think you read my post. To argue just dey hungry you. Did I insinuate the policy won’t stay? I simply said it’s not a well executed one: meaning that the policy is in operation. Go front go find person wey wan Dey exchange world with you.

azpekuliar:
The policy is here to stay sir.

What will still go on?

azpekuliar:
but it will still go on

This design change exercise has been a poorly executed exercise. For a country largely dependent on cash and especially with a large chunk of the populace without bank accounts, the time frame for phasing out of the old note was arbitrarily short. The masses are bearing most of the brunt.
