mployer:I Sense selfishness in some people,you see the government don't care about the welfare of its citizens, they are after their own lives and that of their family now that they are all in the Country, after opening and leaving borders unclosed for weeks so that their family could return and later impose lockdown and boarder closure without testing people and providing relief materials or survival package to many. The problem of the country lay on greed not just by the Government but on "US" as people, because everybody is after his own warfare without considering or helping others.You are financially stable does not mean others should go and die while you live without offering help.God, that's selfish,itz greed.

todugo: Real selfishness is choosing to momentarily stay alive even if it means killing thousands of people doing it. Government didn't send you aid is no reason you should come out and kill innocent citizens. The government officials are in their houses, they won't die with you. It's on people like you that sit at home and watch movies rather than follow the news that will write this rubbish. If you know the daily fatality of this pandemic you won't spew this trash. US and EU allowed citizens to move around now they are burying them in thousands daily. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It's sad tht most Nigerians depend on daily earnings and as such they'll be hit hard by the lockdown order. The closest govt to us is L.G followed by State govt and all state have representatives at all level; councillors, State assembly members and executives bt unfortunately Nigerians are always looking up to FG for everything, that's why states loot more thn FG because we always accuse those in Abuja while overlooking the useless govt at states level. Though in some cases state govt need support of the FG bt in as much as we'll keep accusing FG over the responsibility of states then the idiot will keep looting us dry. What tangible measure have u heard states are taking tht surpass FG's effort? I don't support the protest because such kind of mass gatherings and indecisive actions put UK, US, Mexico, Turkey, India and many countries in serious spread of the virus. Dying for hunger is more amicable than coronavirus because hunger kill its victim alone bt coronavirus kill limitless. They better find other channel to extend their anger to govt! 1 Like |

ivolt: These are all good points to consider but it's not an authoritative statement on the current situation. All you have are claims that it is fake. I did my own research and found this article with an accompanying video on this event. https://www.legit.ng/1317189-coronavirus-lagos-residents-protest-2-days-lockdown.html Is this fake as well? ivolt: Tell me without the broader context of food shortages and heavy taxation would the French citizens have revolted? Do you think the well fed and wealthy French citizens would have stormed the Bastille a heavily fortified prison for weapons knowing it was a death sentence for failure? Many of the instigators of the revolution like were eventually killed along with the royalists they fought despite their resources by the same hungry citizens looking for blood. 1 Like 1 Share |

Farki:Yes, it is still fake. Though this source managed to temper the sensationalism of the first link, it still fails basic journalistic integrity. Where and who was involved in the "protest"? A protest has a specific meaning. An organized actions against a policy or person. All this video shows is that some people refuse to stay indoors as told. They were already outside before the task force run into them. It was never a protest. There are some streets where boys are playing football, there are even some drivers who converge in motor parks to play ludo. Are they also protesting hunger? Yes. The Chinese understand this better. Other authoritarian regimes are also scared of not the ordinary citizens but the powerful opposition elites. No matter how well fed a populace is they can be convinced that they have it worse and deserve better either based on the ethnic, religious or social difference which will always exist. It is very very easy to deceive an average person into their doom and that is why they are stringent measures against free media in some countries.
No. You are writing out of the context. When the main enemy(the Royals) were removed, the powerful elites in various factions turned on themselves with the Jacobins first engaging in the purging of its opponents to secure power. Only for them to be outdone by other factions within the power-hungry revolutionaries. The poor French were just still tools, they never decide who to kill, the powerful elite instigate them against strategic opponents. The poor do not raise a finger against the government unless on the prompting of an opposing group of elites. 1 Like |

judgementyard:Some people are so shielded that they not know what is really going on in Nigeria. Even before lockdown people were already slowly dying of hunger. But at least some could hustle on a daily basis to survive. Some people may walk 6km to eat at an aunt's house before walking back to crash at a friend's house every night. Auntie stays in one room with a family of 5. They just don't know the level of poverty millions of Nigerians wallow in. My fear is that soon the masses will turn on themselves. Not long now before reports start coming of armed robbers storming houses at night to steal pots of soup, garri, rice and other food stuff. But people shy away from the truth because to them everything is politics. This crisis shows the fragile nature of the people's welfare. No robust system in place to immediate put money into people's accounts. Yes govt can force people to open accounts. For unforeseen stuff like this. Here all governments have failed since 1960. 4 Likes |
