If nothing positive is done by the government to curb this police brutality by the end of this month, we should push for impeachment of the president.
ReplyDeleteI support this your statement@Wilders mistress!
DeleteInfact that is where this protest is heading to if they are not careful, Nigerians are really fed up!
Everything about this country is just off. We are in the 21st century for God's sake. Other countries have moved ahead but Naija still dey behind. Imagine for Naija to dey carry laptop and nice phone na wahala when na normal thing for other places. Every young people at this period works smartly. So having these gadgets are normal. If you people want to fight internet fraud, use the internet and stop harrasing people. And then, let young people be young, allow us explore our youthful age which includes having hairstyles that you are comfortable on, allow us wear our nice outfits,s extorting money from us. Your children have better gadgets than us but they live in peace, they live more luxurious lifestyle than other normal Nigerians but yet no police officer harrases them for living their live. We deserve better than this. If your kids can live in peace without fear, why can't we?
ReplyDeleteI know you all are seeing this so do what is right and call every officer of the law to order. We can not be slaves in our own land with our brothers as our slave masters. Even the whites didn't treat us this bad. We deserve better.
You couldn't have said it better 👌
DeleteMy position is clear. My security details have an order to shoot any armed group on the road without uniform. If I ever run into an ambush by SARS in Nigeria, I am not stopping. Some of them will meet their creator that day.
