Great Nigerian Youths !!!

With heavy heart we mourn our gallant boys and girls cut down by the bullets of this tyrannical government.

We commiserate with their parents and we doff our hats to the mothers who breasted them for the nine months this irresponsible government ended with impunity

The boys and girls at Lekki Tollgate will be remembered for their gallantry, their selfless service and commitment to this nation and Lagos State

Now to the government and security agencies and their affiliates denying and counter reporting the movement. Nothing happens without your knowledge, and nothing happens without your permission!

I wish you nothing but baduck in the battle you just started, the monster you made and provoked and the giant you disturb his sleep.

I am tempted to preach peace but I prefer JUSTICE
I am tempted to preach dialogue but I prefer EQUITY
I am tempted to say "stop the violence" but I prefer WE STAND AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS

The Executive Governor of Lagos State, we urge you in the strongest possible terms to fish out these killers and coup plotters who stormed and massacre the peaceful assembly at Lekki Tollgate on the 20th of October' 20

Nothing short and simple as this!

Godbless The Nigerian Youth.

We need updates from ikotun
What's happening in the area and that notorious police post

The role of police is negative all through the history of democracy and dictatorship, now it is been furiously taken out on them

ItsReal:
Let me mess with you small. �

"Hoodlums have hijacked the protest from us."
You said protest is the right of every Nigerian.
Hoodlums are Nigerians too.
They are protesting the way they know how.
Who are "us" you're referring to?
Did you define yourselves or those eligible to join the protest?
Was it not you calling everybody to join the struggle?
Sowore even called the police to join them in the revolution.
Hoodlums, who are also Nigerians with grievances now joined, and you said they hijacked it. What is hijack?
Did they stop you from doing your own protest?
Did they redefine what you want or change the 5 abi 17 points agenda?
Part of your own agenda is to release your own fellow protesters arrested.
Part of their own agenda is to release their friends that were in prison since (they also thought they were wrongly imprisoned, or no be only them be thieves).
You had no leader, fixed group or coordination, and you called everybody to join you. Hoodlums now joined you, and you said they hijacked it from you.

Please stop the joke.

Let's even assume they've seized control of your own protest, you cannot take back control from ordinary hoodlums, and you want to take control of Nigeria from Buhari and the army? Are you dreaming?

Rare but with high sense of humor � and decorum too

I was in jakande estate protest though 80% were street guys but they are legit Nigerians made into wat they are now and grieving

An hausa boy said this country has destroy this nation! Endsars, end politician end everybody

Soldiers are not really skilled at coordinated attacks on unarmed people and mobilised in such areas for attack,unless they are on the offensive and you would have seen them miles away with noise and gragra

The job was a mix of someone who could relate with civilian ,government and business men

I can bet you that the lekki job was coordinated and planned by the men in suit and jointly executed with the soldiers

helinues:
Minus 49 useless/jobless youths..

We warned them to stop the unnecessary protest after SARS has been disbanded.

Before quoting me, make sure you go through my recent threads...

I would never slight the deaths of any Nigerian or threaten anyone with violence but I think u should do so
Nothing is hidden

The begining of the end

OneKinGuy:
This is how it starts, Another Libya in the making. Everyone should please calm down.

My brother we were warned about this man called Buhari

Now various interest groups are coordinating attacks and counter attacks

10mobile:
This #EndSARS protest is beginning to spiral out of control. Joblessness is the main thing fueling it now. It's only those who don't have jobs that are still forceful about it. In other words, criminal elements are beginning to hijack it. The law-abiding citizens are beginning to think about their businesses/jobs.

You all heard how some people broke into a correctional facility in Edo State and freed prisoners. Soon, the criminal elements (who would be more than happy to see everywhere up in flames) would start breaking into shops and homes to steal and kill or to rob on the streets, using the lacuna left by police absence. Some ex-SARS operatives (who must be lacking money now that they're disbanded) will regroup and begin to rob. THEN, THE GOVERNMENT WILL SEE REASONS TO USE FORCE ON THE PROTESTERS AND WILL BE JUSTIFIED BY THE WORLD. This way, the youths would have lost all the gains of the protest.

WHAT TO DO?
I suggest that YOU back out of the protest for now. The Nigerian youths have made their presence felt and their voices heard. A wise performer leaves the stage when the ovation is high. Let's not allow bad eggs to spoil our achievements so that we can successfully build on this in subsequent months and years. Let's not give the Devil (that is, FG) a foothold against us (cf. Eph. 4:27).

Your observations are the long excuses and sympathy that brought us to where we are today

The privileged few suffocating the cries of the others
Don't be so self serving, your version of the story is disgusting and so selfish.

The fact that you have a job and some don't is enough reason to question the equity of right to better living and our abundant resources, selfishly amassed to serve d elite few

Please respect the suffering of others and their rights to demand for a life you also are boasting of now

Trash, piss and corruption

Appeal to the govt; this is action-reaction

LivingSage:
You'll rather leave Nigeria for us because Buhari is going no where. He'll complete his tenure

He is a software that can be installed and uninstalled

I too am a prophet !

In September or so I was invited as a guest speaker by initiative youth volunteer on international youth day to speak on youth participation in politics

I deliberately urge youths to protest as means of achieving ends in democracy

Today the world is witnessing it

Goggle it to confirm.

Anty abike should come and defend this allegations again

This set of leaders has been left uncultured to think Nigeria is theirs and power is residual with them

I bet u in next one month we will drag some key office holders out and send them packing

Calling foreign police to invade and arrest your citizens in your own embassy is outright treasonable offense and wickedness of mind and action by an irresponsible and tyrannical govt

Awon oloshii! Omo yin ma sewon!

One word for you sir :

Respect yourself and face front

Blackmoran:
you guys are reasoning with your emotions and not with logic...

What's logic in ur arguement or u just wrote that for writing sake.

U have put no reasonable logic on d table

ivolt:
He is a protester, he knows better than everyone.

Some of you are too young to know some basics of international law or democratic practice

When u vote ppl in and they refuse to live up to the expectation, democracy don't av a timeline for reaction, it simply means you will be faxed with same power that put u in position asking for your expulsion

It is by another means except force or using the millitary

angelusbrut:
#End SARS but not causing gridlock to your fellow citizens,we should apply common sense in whatever we do. Some motorist might have someone sick in their cars and with all the delay something bad may come out of it.

Please grow out of making excuses from unknown to the unknown

Did this govt that gave rise to this cause and agitations considered there might be sick person in Nigeria before they abandon the healthcare system or do they take ur movt into consideration before they left the roads to this deplorable state?

Pls don't bedeviled protesters with such outrageous blackmail .... Hold the govt responsible for causing the reactions of the ppl and pushing them to the wall

This is action-reaction and not vice versa

U can't blame the smoke for thickening when u start a big fire

I hope u are learned enough to understand me

joseph1832:
Well I'll want to ask if this protest had happened during GEJ tenure if she would have sent all those stuff, considering the fact that her husband was close to that particular government at that time.

In Nigeria, there are two class of people I don't trust and I will never trust, they're politicians and the clergy. (Pastors and Imams).

Permit me to tell you that actions are judged base on present circumstances and predicated upon by the intent and not similar event under different circumstances you are citing

If cases and judgement of persons are decided with your take, there would never be second chance pardon or justice in the world

The woman performed according to her conscience considering present circumstances and you think u can judge her with ur low sense of discernment?

Pls look for another target

Seun I have protested with u on BBOG at onikan and nothing is perfect in ur protest at that time but we recognise the basics and bases of the demands

Calling this current protest useless is a mockery of ur own efforts too at ridiculing the lives lost and years of activism of your father too

The basics and bases are clear except if you just want to be mischevious and renege cos it's not coming from ur stable

In the nearest future Nigeria will be guided by truth and in every democracy every agitations wether small or big counts

Endsars gained momentum because of the contraption of years of decadence in the police force which has affected the social justice system, disrupt the common man flow of economy and used to intimidate opposition's and public opinion.

Your father was a constant victim of law enforcement high-handedness and disregard for human rights

Please seun be guided in your utterances and actions to either mean you keep quiet and let us protest in peace or u join us

Thank you

Citizens protesting are exercising their rights not your wish

Mikehot:
What does Egypt and Turkey have in common?

They are jihadist countries, they hate liberalism

On a lighter note, the Ottoman Empire would be revived by turkey in 2023 which makes 100 years since that Islamic Empire was last seen in 1923 (100 years marks the end of every treaty)

Notice that Ottoman Empire was never conquered, unlike (Babylon, Medo-persia, Greek, Roman in the Daniel statue).


Ottoman Empire was called the "sick man of Europe" as it only liquidated into a treaty with the west but wasn't conquered.

Turkey including the current president has always referred to that treaty as a bad deal to be challenged in 2023.

It is exactly the same beast which had a terrible wound but was cured of the wound in revelation.

Little wonder why the world marvelled at the beast and its wound that was healed.









There is more to Life than eating and drinking

It is at the door

More regards to you for your learned and espoused mind

I related this same matter to a person on NL somedays ago and the person chided at the ref to ottoman in this millennium

Turkey is not home for liberals and the slain journalist is one

Egypt is tilted to such too and hates Western ideology. The protesters arrest is illegal and malicious, stalking and arresting protesters outside and after is a clampdown and in breach of freedom of speech, movt, association and human rights

The Nigerian embassy is complicit in this regards as they should have quickly mobilised to counter that Egyptian arrest.

It is not illegal for Nigerians to protest in Nigerian embassy and any action taken against the protesters when they disperse is aggression on the sovereignty of Nigeria but the bias fg would be elated and even happy about this

In the long run, it is destroying the image , unity and integrity of the country

Abike is merely stalling

ICC must arrest some ppl

OZOnNengiTheory:
if dem born your mama well, meet me for dodan barracks for ikoyi. That bolt wey loose for your head, we go tie am for you

Ediot

Calm down oga! Calling the protest baseless is prejudice on ur own part, as much as u want ur opinion to stand, someone else calls ur opinion unpatriotic

The arguement is btw the people and the govt and protest can be anywhere on Nigerian soil and by nomenclature of protest it is meant to disrupt the normal and upset the flow

So please if u are so damn cocky about dodan barracks, let me remind u that this is democracy and nobody gives a hoot about millitary might or attempt at intimidating Democrats.

Ur arguement is tantamount to escalation and provocation rather than observations .... It is an uncivilized b/hv to criticise agitations in democracy when u av none to offer yourself

Be guided. Nothing is hidden again

Angrykidd:
I was there,I can personally verify this news.
It was a terrible experience.

I am sure it is a combination of soldiers dressed in mufti attacking the protesters

This might probably continue untill they allege protesters are armed

cocolacec:
According to military sources;

SMILE: Extermination.
Dance means kidnap
Tears means use of dangerous chemicals.
Storm :Extermination

Please seek an injunction from court against military action on protesters.

Tell your wards to go back home now and save their lives.The protest has been hijacked and protesters will be used as a bait to achieve a dubious goal.

Buratai is lying ,he doesnt know how to send ordinary text messages on phone.

To go against the youth with their plans is futile
We have experienced young men who can counter any of these.

I sincerely hope soldiers won't dare interfere

Fearlez:
One of the good points I'm taking away from this is the legacy it leaves on the serial recessionist, Buhari.

What a bad legacy twice as president.

I serially hope he stay put in his house this time and stop disturbing Nigeria with his serial failings

austine4real:

Coronabirus:
MANY PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER READING MY COMMENTS SOONER UNLESS IF MIRACLE HAPPEN IN FEW WEEKS TO COME
Something big may likely happen which will force the riches to use private jets and watch the suffering of people from abroad. The power mongers will encourage the youth to endure, sacrifice their lives and aftermath of all the devastation they'll the war experience to restrategise their political ambition by telling their bloc the black story in years to come. I hope it'll not reach this level!
Some places in Nigeria never experienced the horror of war or carnage and it seems they're now yearning to test the wrath of war. "He who call for war never survive to see the consequences of it". But everyone should keep this in mind that many children will be made orphans, potential business & dreams might be killed, hunger will kill people more than guns, uncertainty & fear will fill people's minds. I pity those in the cities the most because they always rely on food products supplied from villages and far away places & this will suddenly stop, water will be as valuable as gold. Those who are optimist of winning the struggle & at the fore front will quickly lose hope & fear will strike them for losing so many "revolution associates" day after day.
No any African nation can contain the huge potential Nigerian refugees. I can't imagine where the IDPs will be settled in West Africa; despite UN treaty on refugees, Ghana will definitely close its boarder amidst the current misunderstanding with them, Niger, Chad, Benin, Togo and Cameroon are too poor to contain the already existing burden of Boko Haram refugees on them.
UN warn Nigeria about crises several times because they're already struggling for funds to sustain millions refugees in Syria, Yemen, & Myammar. America is the major fundraiser of UN aide and is already $3trillion dollar short of this year's budget struggling with economic difficulties of COVID-19.
Nigerians are already hated everywhere in the world due to our attitude abroad or as a result of jealousy of other nations. Very soon those who will seek for asylum in the event of crisis will know that "no place like home". Our neighbours are already struggling to survive from Nigerian goods and services & this will push the whole West Africa into serious food crises. UN may need more than N700b to feed our refugees daily!
I urge everyone intending to start possible violent revolution or yearning for it because he/she has seen it happened in Arab nations & think it can equally work in Nigeria to buy and stack atleast 8 months food in store. Save enough money to seek & survive asylum in neighbouring nations if the need arise. What peace can't do war can never achieve. I'm not coward but I'm seriously afraid of war; when I saw big towns completely deserted by people as a result of insurgency in North-East, people trooping to neighbouring states asking for food, hopelessness struck their future tears often flow out of my eyes emotionally.
I'm not pessimist but I'm opening up about hard truth that many people don't want hear, many people will say somebody said it in Nairaland

I think this administration is toying with the possibilities of crisis not war

We would never get to that point and if pushed we should back down and consider dialogue instead

snoopanddre:
what do u mean? Come out clearer so that people could kno where u stand.

Am waiting for Tuesday

Godchosen001:
Lets see how Army will show their strength on us on Tue

I wanto see the strength of the nation vs the youth of the nation

This man sure reads the countenance if youths

TossTos:
It is time you all stop this social media protest and join us on the road/street lets march up
Lets man up .
We wey dey out never reach 5% of the population of nigerian youths .
Come out ooo !

Moti sorosoke to o .

@tosgramm

The govt and the army are planning to end the protest with force and killings! It will not matter then if we are out or inside, it will be an all out war

SLAP44:
Let them try it first.

Soldiers obeys orders and very few of them will exercise restraint when asked to open fire

But one thing is sure, if the deployment of soldiers is done and youths fell by their guns, I for one am ready to give up everything to end Nigeria
