Even a brain that contains only sawdust will see the foolishness of burning the new BRT buses. I still don't understand why those buses were burnt.

LASG should open a gofundme account so that those who donated towards the protest may also donate to rebuy some of those buses

I totally agree with you on this.

So the Americans, Europeans and Chinese working in Nigeria are here because their places are poor? It seems I've been talking to a child! Goodbye
what americans ? i have been here how many years i have not seen one single american. the chinese are sent here by their companies in china and are on contract and when they finish their contract they return home and the europeans are either working for NGOs or in the embassies or a fortune 500 company that has a branch in nigeria. so these people are rich and highly protected. you guys just troop to borno with no prior contracts or no protection and go live amongst all these islamic fundamentalists risking your lives for nothing. i mean that is called a suicide mission. how poor does your region have to be for you to undertake this type of suicide mission ? come on man you aint speaking to a youth there

Can you imagine how u people reason upside down without fact and figure. How is Tinubu the owner of BRT buses that make your likes to burn those buses? If as a visionary leader, you birthed an idea for easing transportation of a congested city via BRT several years ago, does that make u the owner of the buses? That is the same way your likes burn Oriental hotel thinking is for Tinubu? Tinubu will not and will never board BRT and most likely member of his immediate family will not also. BRT is for the masses and your likes burnt it on the assumption that the buses are for Tinubu. It is such a pity how some people thinking is upside down. The masses will first of us suffer this one for some times even if LASG will buy another one, it can never be immediate. You and your likes burn TVC and the Nation newspaper which Tinubu have direct Business interest in, but guess what, TVC is transmitting as I am typing this piece and the Nation newspaper still published in the edition of today. I am not Tinubu fans, but it seems the more u guys hate him, the more he gets better and surpass u guys. Continue to burn ooo, all the masses will feel it. You may have a car just like I have one to escape the que at bus stops across the metropolitan city of Lagos, but u and I will certainly have cousins or relations that will join the masses to feel this suffering for sometimes. Stop hating. I am out of here.

Tinubu Na werey wey dey disguise. He’s the owner of Oriental hotel, BRT, all tollgates in Lagos, NPA, FRSC, VIO, Oba’s palace, TVC, the nation, city hall, court buildings and all properties that were burnt in Lagos. We are going to bring him down. grin grin grin

This your headline is stupid and misleading... did you see the peaceful protesters burning those buses?
In case you don't know, there's a clear difference between protesters and hoodlums or thugs rented by same government to destruct the peaceful protest.

Na wa for una conspiracy theories ooo!
The government also sponsored these hoodlums and thugs to destroy shopping Malls, banks, ATMs, an Oba's palace, Governor Sanwo-Olu's own mother's house, BRT buses owned by government, NPA building, police stations, owned by government!!...to what aim and motive? Who insures the banks against money theft? Is it not the same government through the NDIC that would bear the brunt of paying for the insurance?
Please give us a break! This is not Hollywood or Nollywood!

These vandals aligned themselves with the protesters chanting#Endsars..but for ulterior motives...short and simple!

My Uber driver told me of his colleague whose car windscreen was smashed by protesters gathering at a spot while carrying a passenger in a trip..this was about 2 weeks ago before they started burning police stations....the guy is at a loss on what to tell the owner of the car. I don't know what that poor guy will say when he sees what you wrote up there.

You people have always tried to paint all the protesters as saints whereas the protesters were the ones who shutdown the whole of Lagos, infringing on the rights of other citizens to free movement, causing blockades, preventing children from going to school, preventing sick people from getting to the hospital, preventing others from going to work and business to make a living..and so on.

How saintly and holy is that kind of behavior, if I may ask? What you are trying to tell us is that if the protesters became leaders of this country, they would trample on our fundamental human rights just like the politicians they are protesting against.

How did you protesters determine who joins your protest or not? Was there any criteria? Of course not. Is every youth in Nigeria sane or have pure motives? No!
Was it not the Yahoo boys that I saw on the 8th of October at Chevron junction moving in convoy, heading for the protests venue? Are they clean guys? It shocks me when you people hallow these guys like they fell from heaven.

I'm done with this lame excuses you always bring up.

Have all the gains of endsars not been completely lost now? Are you still protesting? No are you still in control of the toll gate no ? Has security force brutality stopped ? No it's even worse now ... Are are you safer now ? Hell no ... You say nothing compares to human life and I completely agree but the action of refusing to suspend the protest when your demand was met led to loss of more lives and property and caused unbearable suffering on Nigerians

Very true...but they will not listen to you! The "peaceful protesters" are the most holy and saintly beings to ever walk the face of the earth, yet they smashed Uber driver's windscreen while trying to pass through traffic caused by their protests; we couldn't go about our daily activities because they blocked all the roads; my church brethren who travelled for a wedding and returned to Lagos via MMA2 airport on Tuesday 20th October found it so difficult to leave the airport environs for extended periods of time; protesters who were smoking, drinking and fighting at protests grounds (as stated by ThreeBlackbird in a previous thread),....etc.

So much for HOLY AND SAINTLY protesters, who can't hurt a fly!

This time was felt different , it seemed the govt had indeed disbanded them

I didn't hear from u again as per d questions I asked. If u answer d questions will it exposes d treachery of d govt u so diligently defend & support?

Let me shock a bit. In June 2019, d president of d federal republic of nigeria, muhammadu buhari, received a report on SARS reforms. D recommendations of d report are similar to that of d endsars protesters. Since then till now, buhari hasn't implemented a single recommendation. D question is why didn't he implement d report? If he had implemented it, would youths be on d street protesting against SARS?

https://www.channelstv.com/2019/06/03/committee-on-sars-reforms-submits-report-to-buhari/amp/

Are u still convinced that buhari is committed to doing anything good for nigerians?

Good evening sir.
Been following your post for a long time on nairaland as a guest. Just registered recently.

Please there is one of your past post some years back on the treasury bills thread where you talked about using either your shares/tbills to take a loan to buy stocks when they are down, then using the dividends and coupon to pay for the loan monthly or so.

You made mention of a particular book then when the members of the thread press further as the book describe the strategy or so. I am thinking the book is "making money with other people's money" but am not sure as I can't find it on Google.

Would you mind if you name the book please.

Forgive me for being too lazy to go through thousands of your post again to look for that your post.

You have to understand that to be pan-yoruba is death. the yoruba leaders have the most sense in the country. look at the north ? they are pan-islam and so many people are scared of going to the region so notenough resources generated from outsiders bringing money in.samewith the south east ? its a heavily tribal region and so people dont even bother going there and this is why it is the poorest region in the whole country. then you have the yoruba ? who opens up his space to all the great minds of all the regions to bring their resources and come and thrive while at the same time building up yoruba region. we have dangote building the biggest oil refinery in the world in our region, we have zenith bank jim ovia having lots of business in our region and of course our own giants like adenuga and otedola have businesses in the region. so can you see the sharp brain of the yoruba man ? open up your region and makeit hospitable for everyone so the bigwigs of all the region will bring their money here to develop here and we tax them. so you see ? pan-yoruba is death. yoruba ronu oooooo

My man, for a spiritually enlightened mind like yours, you seem a bit too attached to your ethnic group. Lol. What if you're put in the body of a Fulani or Igbo in your next life?

LOL bro you have to understand that we are put into these ethnic groups for a reason. these ethnic groups have their own spiritual signatures. your ethnic group is part of your spirituality. your ethnic group in this reincarnation is a manifestation of your spirit in this reincarnation. i am attached to it in this reincarnation. now in next reincarnation will i come out as this ethnic group i am now ? more than likely not.I could cme out as benin, or Ijaw or even as a Chinese man. all depends on your karmic debts and your works. but right now ? i am banging for mines because i see to many igbo guys banging hard on yorubas lmao. i get triggered to fire back sometimes. lmao but with meits nothing personal because i see these things from a spiritual perspective. ultimately yoruba and igbo will unite and then power will return to the south, this is what is going to happen spiritually. igbo and yoruba are different polarities of the same coin. They are twins. In the purest form the polarity of the twin that is igbo is good at creating things from the ground in the 3D form while the polarity of the twin thatis yoruba is a spiritual scientist who is a master at the unseen. And together when they unite they bring in the golden age to Africa. my best friends are all Igbo. but on nairaland the igbo boys here will make you say some bad things about igbo the way they carry on 24 7 talking evil about yoruba lmao. but for me its nothing personal lol. i bang back and move on. all in good fun. seems the bloodline of nl is ethnic gangbanging. i had to join grin grin

Hehehe. I see. It's all good. Maybe it's because I don't feel this attachment thing so I find it hard to understand. I just don't feel connected to anything or anyone. Not even my family members but I see everyone around me being attached to someone or something. I really don't get it.

I'm curious though. What will be the role of the Fulani when the golden age comes. You don't seem to talk much about it. I'm really hoping they won't just be redundant because they still have to at least fit in somehow. What do you think the role they will play is

Thats the purest way to be. To have no attachments to anyone or anything. You are doing very good. you are a better man than I am. I dont have strong attachments like most do but I have just a tiny bit of attachment. In fact most timesI dont even like to mention my tribe because I find just mentioning it causes instant hate amongst those who feel so attached to theirs. TRUE STORY ---- the head of security in my estate is an igbo guy called matthias. So me and him are acquaintances somewhat. So I have one of these faces where you cant really tell who i am or what tribe i come from. Anyway one day matthias asked for my tribe and i knew it would be a bad idea to tell him but he put me on the spot so i said i was yoruba. his countenance fell and his energy changed towards me from that day. keep in mind he is an older igbo guy so he thinks the sins of awolowo automatically falls on me grin grin

as for the role of the fulani, they have been actively playing their role for a long time which is establishing draconian control over the south while the south remains in a fallen state. These are warriors and their spiritual mandate is to establish draconian stronghold over the fallen south. sowhen the south rises their roles becomes obsolete in Nigeria and they go look for other fallen entities to subjugate. they will reinvent as the moors and start invading spain and italy trying to conquer them. thats why italians and spaniish are dark skinned. its a cycle that repeats itself. So inthe future after losing influence in Nigeria they will slowly intime start turning their attention to the iberian peninsula of europe. thats whymany of them have that european nose. its their exploits in europe in the past that gave them that european nose. These are a warring people. They are warriors. Its in their DNA. all they know how to do is kill. This why i stay away from the north. i know whoo these people are grin grin

hmmm love the bolded. That said it all. lmao at confused northerners but yeah people are weird

Everybody on the planet can never be all awakened at once. while a section of the planet is going through their ' enlightened age ' another group will be stuck in the dark ages. its like the west and africa. the past couple of thousand years or so they haave been in their ' enlightened age' while africa has been in the dark ages. so you will never ever get the whole planet being in one level of enlightenement. There has to be darkness for light to be appreciated. when the white man looks at africa he appreciates europe more ( it is falling now and the level of contrast between us and them is diminishing slowly ). And so there will always be marauding and jihadist work for the Fula people grin grin

yup lol. if you know the spiritual stories behind people it gives you wisdom in how you treat them. not everything you see in 3D is what it is. not all humans / tribes are created the same. each has its purpose and inclinations. the world is a stage and we are all acting out a cosmic script. its a simulated reality already drawn out in the spirituAl.
