We have received the notice of a planned public protest by some groups of people, which is slated to hold on Saturday, February 13, 2021 at the Lekki Toll Plaza. According to information going round, some groups of persons are planning to re-enact the unruly method of public demonstration employed by some youths in the last October protest against SARS brutality.
 
The social media, in the last few days, has been awash with the details of the protest, while the organisers have been talking to some youths to gather for the planned action.
 
The rationale for the protest is not clear to us and to every law-abiding citizens of Lagos.
 
Instructively however, we observed the notice of protest was issued almost immediately after the Judicial of Inquiry, raised by the Government of Lagos State to probe human rights abuses and action of the military in the infamous October 20, 2020 incidents, issued a re-possession order to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) to resume tolling operations at the toll plaza.
 
We strongly believe the timing of the planned protest is not coincidental, but deliberate and confrontational. It is an attempt to push Lagos to the edge on destruction once again. This informed our emergency meeting held at Campos Mini-stadium on Monday, where we deliberated on the issues. We wish to communicate our stand.
 
We resolved as follows:
 
• As a law-abiding socio-cultural organisation that unshakably stands for the peace and progress of our dear state of origin, we have widely dissected the possible grievances of those attempting to embark on another round of protest and we believe their complaints are what the courts of the land can entertain and adjudicate on. The Judicial , which gave the re-possession order to LCC, subjected its decision to a vote, and the verdict came 5-4 in of the order. If the ’s decision did not go down well with anyone, we advise them to approach the court, not blocking the highway in protest.
 
• We make ionate appeal to the organisers of the protest to shelve the planned action, as it is needless in this period. Peace in Lagos is still fragile, months after the bloody End SARS violence.  
 
• Lagos is yet to recover from the monumental loss it suffered last October when the End SARS protests degenerated to violence. Rampaging arsonists who burnt down our state did not spare our cherished cultural heritage and centuries-old legacy inheritance. Lagos has not come back on its feet; organising similar protest in such unruly fashion at Lekki tollgate or anywhere for that matter within our state will not be tolerated this time.
 
• The Commissioner of Police and other police formations must be alive to their responsibility and protect our state from those bent on bringing it down.
 
• In the event that security agencies fail to nip the protest in the board, we will be forced to march to the Lekki Toll Plaza on February 13, 2021 and halt the needless protest. Those planning the protest must not test our resolve.

The bolded is trash, justice can be by a country with a functional judiciary of which Nigeria isn't one of such. Stop waiting on God or any other mystical being to serve justice.
I have nothing to do with the protest, so make use of your senses when quoting me so you won't regret it.

I can see you are one of those people who call black white all in the name of 100 naira that will be given to you by crooks like Tinubu

You see that's the point...the protest is about Tinubu...you guys should go back to your state...

Getting justice is a fundamental human right, but equally disrupting public movement is also illegal.


However my own take to the matter is never to be a wailer, you cannot change what you don't engage.

Only God can give justice? Really then why is there a Judiciary??...

THE INITIAL PROTEST WAS PEACEFUL UNTIL GWORO TEETH AND YELLOW TEETH MADE IT VIOLENT... PROTEST IS MEANT TO CHANGE WHAT THE MASSES DON'T WANT IN GOVERNANCE AFTERALL, IT IS THE MASSES WHO PUT THEM THERE TO REPRESENT THEM..
SO HOW CAN PEOPLE MEANT TO REPRESENT US GO CONTRARY TO WHAT SHOULD BENEFIT US?
PEACEFUL PROTEST IS A GOAL.. LET'S ASSUME LET'S ASSUME SEYI OR JIDE TINUBU WERE KILLED DURING THE LAST PROTEST, WILL HE BE THIS CALM?
POKE YOURSELF WITH A NEEDLE BEFORE POKING OTHERS

I am online and not in Lagos oga. And mind you, ing old wicked men like Tinubu will not give your generation the freedom they desire. Rather you will be selling yourself and your unborn children to slavery.


Peace

Oga is tinubu the only person in Nigeria? Is he the governor of all states? Past and present...haba let love lead. Forget the hate you have for him.

ArmedRobber:
oponu have you got justice for over 100 killed by akwuzu sars, at least we saw their dead bodies floating on ezu river.
Have you got justice for hundreds killed in oyigbo massacare at least we saw dead bodies and families of deceased have come out to prove their sons or daughter was killed.

You idiots re fixated on lekki imaginary masacare that all the dead bodies resurrected the next day and no family have come out to look for their dead .

We know you fools re doing this because of hatred of Tinubu, we yoruba indigenes of lagos and the entire south west re ready for you guys especially the igbos that re constantly calling for demystification of Tinubu.

Una go collect.

i tire me for dem oo....Nigeria must split abeg... people are more concerned about Lagos that there state.

Oga, hate and truth are two different things. And I am telling the truth and you know it: Tinubu is an old wicked man who you should not try and because you will only be destroying your opportunity for a better life.

Guy, grow up and start showing maturity. One of the qualities of an adult is the ability to make decisions that is in the interest of what is best for all.

A representative was constituted over the Lekki tollgate saga to include youths representatives. The decision to handover the tollgate to LCC was put to the vote.

Those who wanted the tollgate handed over to LCC won 5 to 4. As an adult you must learn to abide by democratic decisions which is the will of the majority even if you dont agree with choices made. You can't chose which decisions to accept or reject merely to suit your sentimental and immature approach to life.

Also, proper adults understand it is important to separate issues so we can see things clearly. Justice for victims has nothing to do with whether the tollgate is opened or remains shut.

It is about establishing culpability , if any, and bringing wrongdoers to book. I am sorry to say but you Nigerian youths are very disappointing. You can't think critically , you dont appear to have the intellectual 'robustness' your peers worldwide do and you can never see all sides of the coin let alone have the ability to be fair to all. LCC (Lagos concession company) shot no one.

The tollgate was legally and contractually conceded to them under a BOT deal. Some of us live in adult worlds where we understand we must respect contracts and legal obligations and not be emotional about every single thing.

Anyone not happy about the transparent votes that handed the tollgate to LCC , when names of those who voted and how they voted was announced publicly, should go to court as the article advised. Only lawless anarchists will be protesting at the tollgate when other Avenues exist to seek redress for whatever decisions they are unhappy with.

people were in lekki tollgate for about two weeks protesting without any problem until your government decided to go and sponsor their thug to go and scatter the protest so nobody is going to lekki tollgate to scatter anything all what they want now is justice for those youth that got kill at lekki tollgate.

Who be Akete. Group of slave. Mtchewww, come out that day I'd them born Una well

[/s] So in summary you are saying that nobody was killed and that what we saw during the ENDSAR protests was not real abi? Hahaha...sorry to say this but , you sound like one of those educated fools I meet regularly on this forum.

Is tinubu from lagos ? Define who is from lagos

My own is that I will exercise my constitutional right to self-defense by shooting to death any would-be miscreant that will attempt to attack my business, don't let your foolishness become the reason for your family to mourn you and post your obituary pictures on whatsapp.

Dear Victor the Daft,
I have never wished to be relevant to a half-brain like you, your kind has no value to offer for my relevance. If you can spot a hoodlum from a post, then you must either be one or perhaps your father was one for you to possess the ability to know one from a post. I didn't quote to tell you about the protest but to correct your misleading, and dimwitted response to the original post, the protest of course is none of my business.
I hope you can comprehend all that has been written. Best of wishes,
Privaldo.

Thank you please avoid my posts.. everybody is entitled to his own opinion
