I was here few days ago to ask about the idea behind holding the Nigerian flag only Tobilola replied and from his answer, i realized the flag thing is a lie.

Mayor555:



In that wise sir, I want you to know, that with the situation on our hands in the country presently, some statements are total evil no matter how logical it might sound.

There's serious tension in the air, we should refrain from making certain statements.

This matter on ground bah, requires astute emotional intelligence and not some logic. Else you'll be branded enemy of the people.

I earnestly hope you understand my submission.

Thanks.

Daddy I do but then again, now is not the time to cry over split milk... The deed is done, what next?

But know that matching violence with violence would only leave the poor, poorer and totally anarchy in a manner that would cripple even the ones who feel that they have some form of comfort.

iboboyswag:


It is and the one about the National Anthem too but it didn't stop people from letting it go viral enough for some to believe it.

That belief was what kept many at the spot that night. Singing the National Anthem and waving Flags in the face of obvious danger. Recall, many of the main agitators weren't present at the protest venue because most had read the writing on the wall and left. Some had even called for caution but you know how it goes... The gyration, false confidence(the success of Edo state defying) and the idea that even if the army is called in, waving flags and singing the national anthem would cause them to retreat.

The handwriting of what happened that night had been on the wall for a while but the spirit of aluta did not allow many to see or even consider it as real.

These people didn't have to die! A little tact, a little wit, and we would still have continued the fight on our terms.

Enough of the brute force, false propaganda and carnage. This is the time for us to think better and re-strategize.

Mayor555:



If dare to engage this discuss, we're going to have a lot of back and forth.

All I'll say now is that we all should apply our emotional intelligence.

Don't say things that will hurt people, it's clear that the government is very bad and as a result many people are hurt.


The people killed yesterday are the real heros!

And they'll not die in vain.

God bless.

How fully grown men, can't understand this point, baffles me...... and they keep acting emotional like their candy was taken from them, those people made a conscious decision, understanding the possible outcome, reality isn't American film, wake up.

I put this to you and iboboyswag, what is the relevance of what you guys are saying? How else should people react to the current happenings? Honest question

Tobiloba2407:
In the timeline of the shooting from a source, i think most times is reliable, it says snipers were spotted, at the same time, admiralty way in lekki, which is less than 2 minutes drive away, had banks attacked and shopping malls looted, this seems so much like the Abuja attacks. Destruction by thugs of public property that can caused maximum outcry, while attacking the protesters, in Abuja we saw men in clean suits directing affairs , in lekki we have a tactically trained unit, running a well coordinated attack.

Too many holes in this army shooting story.

A Biden presidency will most likely crash the tucano dreams. He is one of the few US leaders who has actually spoken.

Nigeria is a major US anti-terror partner in the region. I don't believe the supply would be halted.

The US sees this sale as protecting US interests in the region.

On one hand we see why it is important for us to develop our defence industry.

JohnBullMySon:
thought of that. But remember that there is a base in niger.

Whyem15:
All these fake news will make it harder for the true victims to get justice.

kabe1:


Incredible!!!

Does this mean the Governor of Lagos was right?


The power of fake news.

Look at the same thing with the Proforce ARA ii deliveries.

Tobi!!!!!! This is more of what we should be doing. Looking holistically and finding new approaches but no... Some want us all to sulk.

Whyem15:
In all of these, we the people are the biggest losers, the stock exchange is already crashing. Naira has been falling against the dollars since this thing started. We will only know the full extent of the damage to the economy when this is all over.

A certain godfather has also died politically in his stronghold. He may never win a single unit in that state again. Who knows, he might have been the target right from the beginning.

Odunayaw:
IMO

US has another option in strengthening Chad and even France instead.

Either way you want to look at it, its not a straightforward Yes, there will be sanctions or No, there won't be

Odunayaw:
What new approach have you found now?
