2020 protest is about police/Sars brutality. That was why police were targeted. This August protest is about bad governance. Police should not try to shoot if the protesters are not violent.
Let Nigerians protest peacefully, it's their right.

Govt too should do something about the economic situation. It's terrible down there.

good citizens have been dying of hunger and bad governance since time immemorial.

Hmmm, they should just stay there on their own. People who are milking us dry, dnt want us to talk. Police should even follow us to protest

are there good policemen? I am yet to meet just one

Nlfpmod!

If they try us , we will gladly stay on the street until failure Tinubu steps down

Mischievous content? We know them...

spot on

Hmmm

Nawa oo…Over 100 million Nigerian are not living fine, I checked the most likely thing to kill you on Nigeria, according to google, it’s the air, basically our air is so messed up that you are most likely to die of that before dying of hiv in South Africa.

No hospital, every public schools are in the late 70s development and bla bla, instead of ppl who live there to put aside crazy sentiment and face reality. Some genuinely wanna protest, large group from east are doing it because obi lost election, some are taking advantage of the situation for reason best known to them, some are even saying we no dey involve and equally they are all facing it…

People are suffering

Na true


Let


Start from



One tribe states.

No smoke without fire

Una just dey fear protest

The more you try to discourage it the more you make it popular

Na wa ooo

Hmmm

.

This post would be richer if you also share the false message upon which a disclaimer is issued.

The police Twitter page merely shared a screenshot, this forum would have added value by showing the complete post the IGP is disclaiming.

Also, it appear the disclaimer is to the spirit of the intended action (I.e. the police do not want any protest whatsoever), and not necessarily the bullets (I.e. don’t protest in Lagos, do your protest in Anambra and Kaduna). That’s why the actual post would enrich our understanding as to what the disclaimer is really about.

This IGP with plenty comma for him c.v and actions

Things are hard mehn…..
Never seen it this bad as I now go a whole day without eating…..

In the beginning it was not so oooooo, boys been Dey okay….

Please anyone that can accommodate someone for three months in Lagos, I don’t mind paying for the time I’m to be there, I’m planning on relocating to Lagos and I need where to crash for at most three months while I find my footings…..

I no see any difference between this government and Cersei Lannister in game of thrones 🤔

Na wa for this people o

Bocking the road is a crime! If the Nigerian Govt should apply relevant laws against protesters, you will label the govt despotic.
You can protest, but don't infringe on the rights of freedom of movement of others

The last End Sars protest started in Edo state precisely Ekpoma when a police vehicle climb over a man's Belly.

Yawn

Franklyspeakin:

there's nothing like a good police man, never, you can have the one pretending to be good but worse than Lucifer

Na wa o...
