There is no way a sizable number of masses can buy good cars let's face it ..what Govt owes them is good public transportation and truth be told those Marco polo Viale Busses destroyed are world class
I am against burning down buses though, there are better way to hurt the government. But is much a a car that sizable number of the can't afford?

What were d gains on police brutality that were eroded?

The Theme of the protest was End Sars and govt yielded and disbanded SARs and that great gain ..What the Protesters needed to do at that time was suspend the street protest and set a deadline for return if not satisfied with the implementation but our people missed it and it eventually balled out to almost full anarchy . And at that point govt needed all the force it could use including the disbanded Sars so essence Sars at back operating now as we speak

We are all happy govt properties are burnt even when any of us arent involved in the act. We support the act as if it wouldn't be us that will suffer it.
We should be happy again for whatever happens thereafter. If it's to trek to our destination everyday so be it. We don't need complain about that.
Just like the police are down. We don't want them and crime will surely finish us in thiṣ country. We don't need to complain.
What we want is what we shall get.
If you don't mind, I can help from agric to Isolo route everyday free. I use to burst out at aunty Kenny exactly 6.30am.
I use to enter brt b4 but now no bus I had to drive.

The army caused this. Why did they provoke peaceful protesters by shooting them.

The military was wrong to shoot. Two wrongs don't make a right!

Burning of parked buses just vent anger is so wrong. The arsonists have brought bigger hardship on innocent people who need to go to work and fend for their families

The taunting will not do anything. I do not support burning of any Government properties, but what happened is the collateral damage for provoking public peace by those in authority, for unleashing terror on peaceful protesters

You're sounding rather irritating..


You can be provoked
To act or not is what makes you a higher animal not a bird or mouse..
As a human, intelligent one at that, learning to subdue your will, is necessary, despite different stimuli no matter the difficulty.
So you will be held accountable for your actions, provoked or not!!



To destroy things/ places that make life easy for them was moronic..

U aren't even sure. Is it about feelings or conviction based on sincerity? How was this scrapping different from previous scrappings?

Meanwhile, u haven't answered my questions:

And what the people owed Govt was to be obedient to the laws of the land, not wanton mindless depraved thuggery and unchecked destruction of property - private and public.

Serves the people right, when qthey were busy burning and destroying things they forgot about the ripple effects. More challenges to come for Lagosians, security issue is coming up as stealing and armed robbery will be on the rise. You people chased the security officers away from the roads by killing and mobbing them. You wanted anarchy and anarchy you shall get

As we type here, protests are going on in Italy... France has had at least one protest per year in the last 3 years... Shall we speak of Asia and America!!!

How can so called learned leaders of tomorrow join in demonizing protests and mass action??! It's embarrassing, shameful, and annoying!...

Your leaders failed to safeguard lives and properties, even made things worse by turning guns on unarmed protesters... Instead of taking the idiots to the cross, you join them to heap all blames on those agitating for change!!!

This level of idiocy is beyond me!!!
Thank God someone here thinks this way... I made a post here the other day, stating that the police should have tried to protect lives and property rather than disappearing into thin air. But as soon as I pressed "submit", it was curses and name calling from all angles... People were like; where you not the one supporting protests before?Evidently, our people have been so psychologically brutalized that they seem to reason in ways that astounds! No worry bro, everything na stage by stage. We go get there someday... Las Las, we go dey alright..

And let them bear the brunt. So the fools who instead of defending the public properties chose to be complacent when the buses were being burnt should stop complain. I thought those things were not useful to them. Only the bastards will fold their arms when their father's properties are being burnt by the useless idiots

The BRT were burnt by Dragons sent to destroy the wicked Tinubu. Tinubu is the owner of the BRTs. He makes billions of dollars daily from them so the burning is justified.

And has Tinubu been finally destroyed? Una go get sense one day.

The attendant suffering is just a small sacrifice that people must make in the quest for a better Nigeria. We move!

You only ended up inflicting long term pain on the masses and that's more than "small sacrifice".

Story, story....Lagos State was given one billion Naira from the Federal Government and one billion Naira from the World back for Covid-19 relief. So what did Sanwo-olu do with all that money?

He should use the money to replace and buy new BRT buses now.

Damaged properties can be easily replaced but a life once killed can never be replaced.
