This country is not for the oppressed. Injustice is everywhere from the top.
ReplyDeleteBH and Fulani herdsmen are roaming free and killing citizens in their sleep but it's a harmless 18 years that they will flex power .
This is becoming terrible o
DeleteI feel for young ladies in that region. They should relocate if they want to speak out, for their own safety.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o
ReplyDeleteAre we still in a democratic government? This is appalling! 😡😡
ReplyDeleteAdunni
Hmmm, it is well
ReplyDeleteThis country ehn
What is the meaning this?
ReplyDeleteIt's like the Northerners are more powerful than the President.
Everyone has forgotten about Deborah that was stoned to death by these wicked people. The Nigerian Police has not arrested any of the people that committed that evil crime even though they were bold enough to show their faces on camera.
Dangote's son in law had the guts to support such devilish act publically, yet, he wasn't arrested. He might even be among the northern elites hiding the perpetrators and preventing the Police from arresting them.
Everyone moved on like nothing happened.
May God take control of Nigeria.

This country ehhhhhh
ReplyDeleteThe more you look the less you see
Subhanallah 🙆
ReplyDeleteLet me just swallow my comment, before I will be .. 🤔
Flexing powers over an innocent girl. Like she wasn't saying the truth.
ReplyDeleteWow!😲
ReplyDeleteThe federal government needs to step in for this young person.
ReplyDeleteMany of the freedoms we so easily enjoy today came through young people, especially those in the universities who protested and demanded change. Stifling the voices of the youth is one of the worst things that any country could do.
Hmm.. how many people are they going to silence?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the essence of the Nigeria constitution, there is no existence of rule of law, abeg this country taya me with the kind of injustice going on, the same 'crime' committed by the elites or their children or relatives are being swept under the carpet.
ReplyDeleteThe reason the we have persistent insecurities in the country is because this people in the North embrace this lifestyle. All the monthly allocation which had since gone up under Tinubu administration due to subsidy removal ,are not spent on the state but it goes to personal coffers. This is what they want keeping women as slave and molesting young adolescent. They are cradle raiders and part of the reasons we have found it quite difficult to have a good government. Their leaders like to keep them in ignorance just to enslaved them. Say something reasonable they would come for your head.
ReplyDeleteThis Is Rubbish...
