More accountable to who, how much IGR was realized by your state for the last 5 years, what was it spent on, can you tell me? Even if I gave you 3 months to provide evidence you wouldn’t? Your jargon response just reiterated my point you think all these your chasing shadows is hurting President Buhari?

Chasing shadows mocking yourselves? The States shouting we want to go it alone are the states in which the Federal Government has invested heavily in the past? Rivers & Lagos State most especially, NDDC just dashed their former HQ to Rivers State, What Federal infrastructures has the Federal Government got in your State’s capital city?

Selfish elements, what most of you ignorant peeps don’t know is that 85% stays with the state, 50% State, 35% Local Government, remainder 15% FG, What is the noise about, isn’t Nigeria one country?, don’t we have southern Nigerians that school, live & work in the North?, Lagos Kano, Kaduna Lagos are sold out flights everyday.

Stop crying

How come crude oil has remained at $30 in APC market?

Crude oil has been selling for between $60 and $70 since the first week of February
In fact, oil has sold for a minimum of $50 since the beginning of 2021

How dishonest can a government be after 6 years in power?

This is called "NEPA Bill Certificate"

Nigeria and all her agencies are being run by NEPA Bill Certificate holders

Guys, please watch video #2.
It has been added to the first post.

Kekereekun123:
injured person being rescued. Make una stop all this nonsense talks. The soldiers were right in front of them. If it was a massacre they would have gunned them all down.

You can see injured people on the ground in several videos on the internet.

We only need to connect the dots to know that the disaster really happened:

1. The army declared "operation crocodile smiles"
2. Army weapons moved to Lagos
3. Cameras removed from Lekki toll gate
4. Lights switched off
5. Shooting of unarmed protesters.

Is it not obvious enough?

IamPlato:
If the soldiers were there on a slaughter mission why are those people in front still alive.... Why didn't they take down those recording with their phone and destroy the phones

It does not work like that. There is no way they will kill everyone. Do not forget that they know they are doing something wrong

This video confirms exactly what DJ Switch said, that corpses were carried to the soldiers to show them what they had done.
Watch from 1:35

This is one of the best video evidence that the Nigerian army killed peaceful Nigerian protesters asking for the right to live.

it looks like the 200 laptops guys are back on nairaland.

Since the South West chase tinubu and burnt the governor family house. and there was also retaliation from the South South and South East. and the suden appearance of tompolo.

the northerners have been jestery and trying to create division on social media among the south..
their strongest tools is their unity and not educating the notherners. the see education as provilage to the elite only so as to remain on top and eat the Destinies of the almajiri and beggars.

with the look of things. if the power ever rotate to the south. the north should forget it.

It seems we were thinking the same thing.
Check this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6198070/afraid-unity-southern-nigeria

Our country is at a critical moment.
The youths declared that they had had enough.
The protests were patriotic calls for a new Nigeria.
For the first time in a long time, Nigerians (mostly) from the south) spoke with one voice.

It is easy to know how this unity threatens those who want things to remain the same.
This includes all politicians. But especially the "born-to-rule" who believe they own Nigeria.
They have never criticized the "unacceptable" nepotism of the Buhari government. Why would they, when they are the beneficiaries of the it?

From the NNPC to the CBN and from DSS to EFCC, all institutions of government, including public service positions have been occupied by northerners with flagrant disregard for the national character clause in our constitution.

All southerners (the middle belt inconclusive), including the yorubas and the igbos, are victims of Buhari´s nepotism and selective favouritism.
There is nothing they fear more than the unity of the south. They know that Nigeria will cease to exist (at least, in the way that it is) when the whole south speak with one voice.

So the current attempt to bring tribal colouring into the #ENDSARS protests is engineered by them. You now hear those trying to accuse the Igbo for the violence in Lagos. These are not well meaning yorubas. They are agents of the north desperately trying to bring back the disunity among the south. The #ENDARS movement has no tribalism or ethnicity to it. Indeed, it represents the entire youth of the nation. It is a shame that most youth in the north did not join the protest, again due to the points already made above.

A few questions:
Did soldiers shoot at protesters at Lekki tollgate? Yes they did.
Why would soldiers be used to shoot unarmed youths who were simply asking for their right to live?

What is the Way Forward?
The president has failed. Everyone knows that. But is it a shame.
If he had addressed the youths, like a father would do, things would never have gotten to this level. It was obvious that the anger was real and deep. The use of force could never have worked. And let me say that no government can win a fight with her youth.

If all the youth in Nigeria were to take to the streets in one day, even the president will beg to be allowed to resign

Here are steps that can easily resolve all the crises:

1. Sack all the service chiefs,including the IGP
2. Apologize to the youths for the action of the government and the military
3. Immediately implement all the demands stated in the #ENDSARS protest
4. Initiate a clear process for national healing. This will include discussions of the nationhood of Nigeria and the inevitable question of restructuring.
5. The police cannot be fully reformed until state police is created and implemented.

To be continued...

We all know it is the gradually trending post about Oduduwa Republic that is causing DSS sleepless night. Nigeria is fast heading the way of disintegration with the way this government has colluded with bandits and terrorists to destabilize Nigeria. You can beat a child, but you cannot keep it from crying.

You got it right!

They are already shaking. If only all ethnic nationalities in the south can sheathe their swords and come together to speak with one voice.

The north will even beg for the restructuring they have been "boastfully" rejecting.

Southern Nigeria, it is time to unite and restructure/save this country for future generations.

They are obviously both Christians.

Boko Haram takes pleasure in killing Christians.

And it does not really bother the government of the day.

ekwuemendinso:
Did you guys watch the video at all?

No matter the strong cut and joind they did, Osibanjo never in any part of the video said anything concerning NFADAC let alone any reduction.

That clips up there is were 1yr old where he was discussing about improving the economy via supports for SMEs....

Something is terribly strange and happening in Aso Rock.... A strong cover up is in imbue

Finally, someone could reason well with their brains. I scrolled through 4 pages just to see who noticed that this is most likely an old video.

No face mask
No mention of COVID 19
etc etc

Kobicove:
I'm not sure we have even tested up to 30,000 people yet...meanwhile Ghana whose population is less then 40% of Nigeria's own has tested over 50,000 people

Ghana has tested 160,501 people as at May 11,2020 (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)

Check out the thread I created last week:

https://www.nairaland.com/5832157/there-could-already-100000-covid-19

There are already over 100,000 COVID-19 cases in Nigeria.

https://www.nairaland.com/5832157/there-could-already-100000-covid-19#89136657

Governments at all levels need to act now! Otherwise, the cost could be to high to imagine.

Mass testing, isolation, contact tracing and treatment.

There is no other way.

I live in Europe and I have been virtually indoors for over 2 months.
It is a shame that there are "21st century" youths in Nigeria who still argue about this disease in Nigeria.

With a population of about 200 million people and a paltry 16,588 tests (worldometers.info/coronavirus), the title of this thread should be obvious.
Do the math. If 2,388 are positive out of 16,588, how many could be positive out of 200 million?
Mass testing, isolation, contact tracing and treatment is the only way to prevent rapid spread of the virus.
It is a shame because even Ghana has tested 113, 497 people. What exactly is Nigeria´s excuse?

The failure of the government in handling this virus is so loud that even the deaf can hear it.
Let me shock you further. It is possible that up to a million Nigerians are already infected. But this number may never be found, since no mass testing is being done. The main reason it has not gotten so ugly is the fact that Nigeria (like other African countries), have a very high young/youth population. Many of them could have the virus without symptoms, while transmitting it to others.

Finally, where are our epidemiologists? Why is no one coming out with models of how the virus may have already (or might) spread in the country?
American, German, etc experts used models to give likely trends. In fact, even before US had up to 100 cases, a number of models had shown that the virus was already spreading for weeks before the first case was discovered and they clearly stated that up to a million Americans may have been infected. Today, the US has 1, 160, 774 cases.

Pray for Nigeria!
