Over 40 #RevolutionNow protesters have been arrested in Abuja by military personnel deployed by the government to patrol different parts of the city.

The protesters, who were coming from the Mararaba axis, were arrested around the Unity Fountain and thrown into at least six trucks that whisked them away to an unknown destination.

The security agents are searching every vehicle passing through the route in a bid to identify and apprehend other persons participating in the protest.

A convoy of over 50 vehicles loaded with heavily-armed security personnel were seen patrolling the Unity Fountain and Transcorp Junction areas of the city

Citizens in large numbers have already poured out to the streets in major cities across the country in commemoration of the first anniversary of the #RevolutionNow protest that saw Nigerians demanding better governance from the administration of President MuhamXmadu Buhari on August 5, 2019.

Buhari till 4044... Now Ppl will appreciate d freedom dey enjoyed wen dey organized concerts/protests in Ojota and other parts of the country...

The police and military forces are one of the biggest challenges of our country. Innocent citizens protest, dem go arrest yet, Boko Haram and the bandits dem, dem no fit face dem.

Face bokoharam, bandits, kidnappers and herdsmen they cannot, but to brutalize peaceful protesters, they will jump into the ring like hulk hogan. Very useless sets of security forces led by a shitty government.

Like Dump Trumpet like PMB they both hate protests as angel death is to mankind.

Let Nigerian youths rally around in 2023 for a realistic change, on the ballot papers, not these skirmishes.

This government is so predictable

Y am I so incompetent and tyrannical? God will Judge me for all the evil i have done to Nigeria.

Despite the fact that I dislike PMB, I will still like to admit that this Man is so fucking intelligent.
The best way to rule a country like Nigeria and handle her insane citizens is by cutting them short of certain things.

Protest today in Nigeria is now a thing of joke were any hungry guy/ gal go to just to take selfie and beg for money. The real protest is not happening
Now let us look at the case of Lance Corporal that was arrested for speaking out in fact rumour has it that he is dead, who is speaking out? How many social media network has been shouting or calling for Justice? What about the killings in Kaduna? How many protesters are calling for the culprits to be brought to justice?
Abeg arrest them jor in fact jail them, they lost their rights and freedom to BB Naija
Nairaland don become their sponsors

A lot of this so called protest are actually politically motivated. Till we get sense, ARREST THEM

Nigeria is not a country you can rule forever

enjoy your change

Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime.

Slow and steady we will get there.

We will keep believing in her.

God bless Nigeria.

jaxxy:
Sowore has serious problems thinking he can run this alone. He is not fela. He shud work and consult like minded people for advice.

He is too brash and his intentions are becoming suspicious.

Hmmmmm, this is deep!

PigTormentor:

Rubbish, was it not the same Goatluck that paid OPC to beat up protesters in Lagos? Some of you have no memories or just enjoy lying.

Hmmmmm, this is deeper!!

nairavsdollars:
Where is Sowore himself??

Hmmmmmm, this is deepest!!!

Elzakzaky:
Stop advertising your ignorance on the internet. Revolution is not the same as a protest.
No government anywhere in the world treats revolution with levity.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, this is deeper than the deepest!!!!

END OF THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We Rise!

The Jonathan admission wasn't perfect, but things were never as bad as it is now.

He launched a 7-point agenda during his tenure and every developmental indices was judged on the basis of these 7-point agenda..the same cannot be said about PMB and his goons. All they did was mention change while using insurgency in the north as a smokescreen and people got hoodwinked.

Tomorrow they will remind us that they inherited Boko haram and Niger Delta militants, now they have proudly watered the ground for the marauding Fulani herdsmen and bandits ravaging Christian dominated areas of the north.

Today, those who enjoyed taking to the streets to protest against Jonathan at any slight opportunity have either run away to Canada or have suddenly become deaf, dumb and crippled. Karma is a beauty beyond measure!!

I can see one resident sycophant above, who have suddenly taken up the role of a pacifist because their darling daddy is involved..no worry, God go remember una one by one.

One of their key promises was to fight Boko haram while leading from the front, now they have turned the elements of state to fight the citizens while "holed up" in the comfort of Aso rock spending the citizens money to oppress the citizens and borrowing our collective future away.

Basically this game by tinubu won't work
Because it worked on Jonathan doesn't mean it would work on the canal

He would just waste this young men's life ...the masses are not backing him they see through the plot

....cabal back me or I bring u down ...the cabal has dares him to do his worse and this is what's his doing ...but forgot he has no backing

Every sensible Nigerian know that sowore and falana are tinubu boys ....always gives him soft attacks to remove suspicion but never go in for the kills ....tinubu should not use innocent boy's life for nothing

Tyrannic Government.

Who else is not even surprised?

That is why I liked those Arabians, they will come out in mass not minding the consequences. If you like kill or arrest them, na you go tire (remind me of how Egyptians protest during Horsen Mubarak). If we the youths are sincere to ourselves and do the needful by genuinely protesting against injustice, nepotism, corruption, poverty, unemployment, accountability, and many more without fear or favour. Because the politicians (Apc, pdp, etc) don't care, all they care about is how they will loot and use it to fight their way back again. Nigerians youths aren't ready yet because they will say I may be kill or arrested (an average Nigerians are like walking corpse).

Una never see anything.

Is concern me?

All these things are calculated only the myopic will be surprised.
Yesterday the fine for hate speech was increased from 5 hundred thousand to 5 million.
Guys brace up for the coming days might be tough cos Nigeria is in a big shit.
The presidency have agendas ( open your eyes and brain ) then reason well.
A government that sees everything they do as perfect and is not ready for any corrections or criticism. Keep borrowing and embezzling it and keep defending their act. Only great revolution can safe this country and now is the time.
We've prayed enough,now what we need is action.

Buhari is the biggest mistake
of this country..


We never realized that Ibrahim Babngida
& crew did the nation a great service
when they toppled Buhari from power
in 1985.

Hmm but why arrest them ? Them destroy something ?�..

This is no longer democracy, its militocracy.

What a sad tale. Nigerians are being held captive in foreign land and are also experiencing worse in their motherland.

Yio lehin o, yio lehin o
Oro yi yio lehin.... Ajantiele.

Whatever the government does, they should sha know that Revolution is inevitable if things continue this way.

Buhari is lucky unlike Jonathan he comes from the majority tribe. Dont tell me he is Fulani. They have synchronized into Hausa majority.
I wish we could all avail ourselves to be arrested. Buhari would have also needed to sell the sovereignty of Nigeria to China for more prisons.
This must stop.

If Jonathan was this non tolerant today Nigeria would be better

You can begin to value the freedom you had under GEJ.

Where is Sowore himself??

They were lucky they weren't shot this time.

I'm tired of abusing our wicked politicians and cursing the zoo country because nothing can ever change.

Instead of risking your life in the name of protest that won't yield any fruit, why not start making plans to leave the zoo.

I think Nigeria as a country is doomed for life. No remedy for her

A country where lawmakers carry hit themselves with chairs and all sorts of weapons, While family the presidency shoot at each other inside government house and no one gets arrested. Yet peaceful protest is a threat the nation

GEJ allowed several protests and inflammatory speeches against his government to take place without harassing the organisers.
Even PMB, ERufai, Fashola and Tinubu opening protested against GEJ without being harassed.

At some point GEJ even granted protesters against his regime police escort.

What is PMB contribution to peace and economic development in Nigeria? Even he is failing woefully in the area of security and fight against corruption that we wrongly thought were his strengths.
