Is it only Lagos the protest always happen? Everybody should go to their states to protest. Afterall Sars was in all states, bad govt is all states.. go to Onitcha, Akwa, Bauchi, Kano, Akure, Ilorin.. etc. they dont have tollgates there?

This is more democracy. it's now well know as autocratic regime. EndSARS EndBadGovernanceInNigeria

Just imagine the nonsense....... Why must it be Lagos? Nigeria has 36 states, yet Lagos and Lekki Tollgate is your preferred ground for protest. Government must not handle this domestic terrorist with kid gloves.

Enough is enough...End bad government

Something is seriously wrong with this government. Boko Haram, pardoned and flown overseas, bandits forgiven but peaceful protesters arrested and/pr killed. We call them bororo, Fulani, cows yet they lead, kill, rape, enslave us. Shame to our southern leaders who keep selling us.

I just tried i don't even know what this government is all about if they even understand what it's mean to be call citizens of a country

Are we still using constitution in Nigeria? There's nothing like constitution in dis country
