I love some truthful Yoruba men with passion, not those snakes lurking mostly in nairaland.

100%. That Buhari is a goat

I think buhari saw the protest as an uprising against his government and he was reading the reactions of his northern adherents that only few of them partook in the protest, so he thought the ethnoreligious sentiment will tilt the game in his favour, so the reason for his lackadaisical attitude towards the protestors. Imagine someone that could send the military to shoot at the peaceful protestors in the highbrow area like lekki, that should tell you something about the mentality of these northern oligarchs in this country.

Unless our voices are united as the youth in this country, we will only be able to make little headway against the oppressive leaders we have in the country. If both southern and northern youths cannot unite in the fight against bad leadership, it is better everybody goes their separate way, it means Nigeria cannot work for a common man, because these leaders will continue to play the ethnoreligious card to destabilize any uprising against them.

It was something so easy to handle. But Buhari, being an accomplished failure, couldn't handle it.

However, considering that many are beginning to say that the man at the villa is a clone or is completely demented and only follows orders, who are we to blame poor Bubu of "unblessed" memory?

What would the president have done? Hold a physical meeting with the frontiers (state or location coordinators) of the End SARs protests 7 days into the protests which would be covered by all major media houses in the country. Those to be present at the meeting apart from the president and the youth representatives would include the Inspector General of Police, the leadership of the National Assembly, and all the state governors.

1. I would chair the meeting, read out an agenda and invite the youths to propose for inclusion into the agenda anything they felt was necessary to discuss, and adopt the agenda for the meeting.

2. We begin very elaborate and robust discussions on every issue on the agenda. The ones we can achieve as a government, we agree. The ones we can't , we give water-tight reasons why we can't achieve them.

3. All agreements made would have delivery timelines, and responsibilities would be assigned. Members of the government who have responsibilities must commit to meeting up with their deliverables within the timelines agreed or lose their jobs.

4. When timelines and responsibilities have been assigned, i would now request of the youths to immediately notify their comrades to cease protests and monitor the timelines with an agreement that if the government does not meet the timelines, the protests can continue.

5. End the meeting and immediately commence implementation.

I do not see how any reasonable person would continue protests after that.



The movement had no leader, the protests had. The Lekki gathering was being coordinated by a group, same goes for Alausa. Their representatives would be invited. Enugu protests was led by people, they should attend. Rivers' protest had leaders, they should attend. Abuja had leaders, they should attend. If the president made a broadcast inviting all these coordinators to attend, they would have gathered themselves in Abuja long ago. Didnt Davido attend a meeting with the I.G?

The truth is that we have very inept leaders, and Buhari is the most inept of them all. He would have saved this situation long ago if he had the will to make positive change. Quite unfortunately, he's only interested in being called Mr. President. Having achieved that, everything else means nothing to him.

I bet you haven't chaired anything or head anything! Look at the shit you put up there! So, if tomorrow meat sellers are protesting too, you will invite all of them to Abuja? Next tomorrow, the keke Napep operator start protesting, same story? And on and on like that! And you will use all yourc4 years attending to 'prolooters'

Endsars! Sars disbanded, it was then they had brain reset and realised they have other demands because they were shocked that it could happened so fast! Other demand added were granted too but because they want to make up for parties missed during the lockdown, they stood there infringing other peoples' right and silently killing those who makes daily wages to feed! Curfew declared because it's obvious the whole process has been hijacked as looting and burning has already started but they kept vigil waiting for shooting to form hero! Non of you raised any alarm! Now lives and livelihood destroyed, you're rolling out one stupid 'oshi ati iranu' strategy!

You know one lesson from this, if just 5 pepple trying to protest anywhere in Lagos it's the that will face them that you want to loot again or strategically destroyed their economy? The same people are now begging for police to show face! Most of them are now waiting endlessly for BRT while some are crying their businesses destroyed! Even minor sponsors' shop were not spared spared!

Buhari addressed the protesters but they refused to step down because majority of them want him to resign

Self delusion :the worst kind of delusion ever.

Chai, see blame shifting; after Buhari had accepted all the initial demands of the protesters and they kept changing them from one to another; so how many speeches was he expected to make for each demand; in any case how could his speech have stopped your politically incited and criminally inclined hoodlums from looting and destroying your cities - in any case, where was your expected leadership role and fatherly voice throughout the crisis?

The north almost followed suit; but quickly saw through the insincerity of the changing agendas of the protesters as well as the potential consequences that lay ahead; northern leadership consequently reigned in their youths and fortunately the latter complied.

The Oba is a man of wisdom and he spoke wisely. The president truly disappointed though I am not surprised as we have security issues in the north with the Boko boys and banditry.

The long lasting solution to this menace is parting ways... the way an average Northerner thinks !

Truest facts. We EndSARS protesters didnt leave the streets because we wanted assuarances dt #5for5 would be taken seriously and not get lost in bureaucracy like the other 4 times SARS was scrapped.

1. His 5minute speech (reading from a paper) did not give that assurance &did not go into detail.
2. After the scrap of SARS, the IG of police immediately formulated SWAT.

Instead of sincere dialogue (which was never had), the FG instead sent the military to shut us up. All this violence is the result of failed leadership from Buhari. He should have bn in the face of the issue frequently the way sanwoolu was facing the protesters. But we all knew the governor had zero power over the police. Complete fail. He is operating like this is military era & hes answerable to nobody.

In future, any presidential candidate dt does not submit himself to presidential debates & interviews explaining his opinion on issues, should never be elected into power. That person doesnt respect democracy.

Nigerians didn't even need debates to know Buhari. Anybody who destroyed democracy by removing a democratically elected government through a coup is not worthy of standing in a civilian election, not to even talk of vying for presidency.

God bless Iku Baba Yeye for this SIMPLE TRUTH!!!

Which kind of address? The people who are programmed to hate and criticise anything from him!

Kabiyesi e get many wives and e enjoys his life. But he loves his people sha..

Iku Baba Yeye!

Alaafin God bless you for 600 years, this is the reason why things excalated to where we are today. If the president addressed the situation 2-3days after the protest, shit wouldn't have hit the fan.

This is rubbish and an absurd. A lazy peoples, thugs and hoodlums whom can not even respect their elders, did you expect them to respect or listing to BUHARI.
Wallahi you are deceiving your self

A military man told me that it's because it's their people in the north that's why they are treating BH with kid gloves

They also know all these you typed but they don't give a fvck as they see bunch of street urchins until International community beamed their search light and that's when they started taking it serious .... I'm not surprised by their actions sha !!

The one who ordered the military to shoot unarmed protesters at lekki toll gate is the cause of all damages witnessed

LIES!

No one demanded that Buhari should resign. In fact, majority kicked against such demands when some people brought it up. Everyone knows how the system is in Nigeria, so why ask for the impossible? Also, since the protests were apolitical (evident by protesters pursuing Sowore, kicking against the meeting between Davido and Mba or Banky W's involvement), it will be wrong to demand that Buhari resigns. Again, for the umpeteenth time, Buhari never addressed the protesters nor their requests. Please don't mention the so-called disbandment of SARS (the fourth time in less than five years).

The fourth disbandment in less than five years and by the incompetent IG not from the president. Is it a difficult thing for the president to address the country and use his executive powers to disband SARS? Are the same "disbanded" SARS not in the streets across the country?

I think Iku baba yeye (Alafin) tried to say something in favour of the protesters to avoid their wrath.

To be candid, the protesters were confused and directionless.

All the former disbandment didn't involve President intervention. In fact, it was after meeting between the trio of President, his Vice and IG that Sars was disbanded and additional 5 demands after days of disbanding Sars was granted. FYI, there is no need for executive order because another outfit with similar duties will still be created to fill Sars vaccum.

So what is the difference? Which officers will make up the new employees in SWAT so suddenly? Why are these "disbanded" SARS officials still in the streets?
