Don't mind them, very anyhow behavior.

Nothing will happen to them. Security forces only have power in the southern parts of Nigeria. Those Hausa guys don't play, they don't even value their lives talk less of other people's lives...

Bots and not mods

Chai. 9ja my country

When you help each other in your community the Nigerian police and military will sit up. I've seen a military officer hit okada man when Okada is at fault the military officer was the one begging when he saw the rest of the Hausa Okada men gather together in Kaduna fear hook the officer fast. If it's Lagos he will start to slap the Okada man asking do you know who I am.

In the North?

The slaves will bow!

Let's just imagine that it were the youths of one local government down south .

Na true. But why do humans love injustice aggressively? Why would people who obey the law always suffer especially in Nigeria?

Reason I love Nnamdi Kanu

Those external and internal forces who don't want the country to progress ensure that things are not normal.
No country can progress with abnormalities.

You see mob action is haram!

A mob as such is criminal and not in the right senses to judge anyone!

From endsars mob to Deborah's mob to all Edo mob, all are criminals!

They should be rounded up and prosecuted for arson or murder or whatever!

If it was in the south now, the locally trained police would have been killing and arresting Innocent people by now

Am eye for an eye. That is what their religion says

Not one single person will be arrested
