Popular Nigerian Singer, Simi, has taken to her social media page to seemingly speak against the idea of #EndSars protesters appointing representatives to dialogue with the Government.

According to the mother-of-one, the Government should be open enough to speak to everyone via a press conference.

Her post on Twitter reads ;

I don’t know how I feel about having appointed representatives. I know the intent is good, but I believe that whatever the Nigerian Govt wants to say, they should say to everyone. Organize press conference and talk to all of us, cos this shoe is pinching everybody differently.

If we choose anyone, it’s not far fetched to assume that they will automatically be burdened with the responsibility of the outcome of this movement. Divided we scatter.

At least 234 million naira has been lost by the Lagos statement government, owing to the closure of tollgates in the Lekki area of Lagos as the #EndSARS protests continue.

However, LASG has continued to generate money from adverts at the toll plazas, The Punch reports.

The figure was collated from the daily and monthly targets set for the government-owned tollgates, which are being managed by the Lekki Concession Company.

A Lagos State commissioner told The Punch that the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge was expected to generate about N10m daily, while the Admiralty Circle Plaza along the Lekki-Epe Expressway was looking at an expected daily revenue of no less than N16.6m.

He said the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge was not expected to generate less than N300m monthly, while the Admiralty Circle Plaza generates about N500m monthly.

“At least 80,000 cars use the tollgates every day. The figure could be higher or lower depending on the day of the week. However, since the protests started, the Lekki tollgate has been completely shut, while the Ikoyi one has been left permanently open for people to use without payment,” the commissioner said.

SUV’s pay N250 at the Admiralty Toll Plaza, while saloon also known as Sedan cars pay N200.

Whereas, at the Ikoyi-Link Bridge, toll for SUVs, mini vans and light trucks is N400.

Heavy duty trucks/buses with two or more heavy axles pay N1,000 at the Admiralty Circle Plaza on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, according to the LCC.

“Increasing police salary will not stop police corruption,” – Seun Kuti expresses his reservations with the #EndSARS protest (video)

By

October 19, 2020

Seun Kuti, one of the sons of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, expressed his reservations with the end SARS protest.

He stated that the demands made by Nigerian youths in the #5for5 list of demands is “too weak” which is why he’s reluctant to get involved in the current protest.

“It’s like we’re fighting for police to live a better life,” he said.

He further stated that police are adults and if they are not satisfied with their salary, they can protest or go on strike.

He added: “It is not the duty of Nigerians to fight for police to have better salary. If police don’t like their salary and welfare, let them strike and protest.”

He also said that an increase in salary is not the solution to police corruption.

“Increasing police salary will not stop police corruption,” he said.

He continued: “If money dey stop corruption, why our politicians still dey thief?”

He went on to say that it appears the average Nigerian is fighting for the issue that affects them, which is police brutality, because they want to freely drive their Benz without being harrassed. But they do not seem to care about the problems that affect poorer Nigerians.

He said that SARS is not our only problem, adding that NURTW boys collect money from market women, okada riders, and bus drivers everyday and no one is fighting for them. Seun said a call to end the harrassment these poor Nigerians face from these NURTW boys who extort money from them needs to be included in the list of demands, instead of advocating for an increase in police salary.

“Everybody is being extorted at every level in this country every day.”

He called the #5for5 “useless demands” and said no one can drag him to the current agitation because the demands are not serious enough.

“Suspend #EndSARS protests. It has been hijacked by political thugs” — Ondo State Governor

By

October 19, 2020

Ondo State Governor and Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu, has called for the suspension of #EndSARS protest to allow the government take action.

Akeredolu stated this on Sunday, October 18, during a visit to his Osun State counterpart, Governor Gboyega Oyetola at the Government House, Osogbo, following an attack on him by suspected thugs in Osogbo, the Osun State Capital on Saturday.

Governor Akeredolu who had earlier condemned the attack by suspected hoodlums who hijacked the #EndSars protest, describing it as most disturbing, said everyone must come together and condemn the attack.

He appealed to the protesting youths to suspend the protest for now and allow Government look into their demands.

Declaring his support for the #EndSars protest and the right of the people to protest, the Governor expressed worry that the genuine youths have been infiltrated by hoodlums who are ready to hijack the peaceful protest to unleash violence.

”Yesterday’s incident was most disturbing. It was unfortunate. It’s a development that all of us must condemn. it’s mostly an act of terrorism. When I saw it, I felt very bad. I felt I should come today to solidarize with you. We thank God for sparing your life. Valuables must have been lost, but we thank God for your life,” he said.

The Governor also commended the security team of Governor Oyetola for being able to handle the situation despite the attack.

“We thank God for the security team of the Governor for being able to manage the situation. It could have led to something else but for the way the Governor’s security team handled the situation,”

Akeredolu said: “The agitation of the #Endsars protesters is right , and we are not saying it’s unfounded, if I have my way I would be with them every other day. What they are protesting is what Fela Anikulapo called Sorrow, Tears and Blood. We are not condemning #EndSars demonstration. But for now, why don’t we suspend it and allow government to take actions.

“I appeal to the youths on the street to give government time. You can give us ultimatum. I want to use this medium to appeal to them. Their rank and file is being infiltrated by thugs and hoodlums. When people hijack #EndSars protest, it could be catastrophic. What happened in Osun can not be protest. It should be condemned. I’m happy my brother is alive and well.” he added.

Responding, Governor Oyetola said the #EndSars protest has gone beyond what’s expected, adding that although protest is legitimate but hoodlums and political thugs have hijacked it from the genuine youths.

He also addressed the attacks on peaceful protesters, stating that it would be a sacrilege to shoot protesters who are neither looting, nor violent.

In his words,

“The most gruesome season in the history of the nation is the last 5 years where lives have no value, wanton killings here and there.

“Now they have faced the youth and because they don’t know who is next, they have the right to say ‘enough is enough’. Any system that has no value for human lives is irrelevant. If they were killed when they were youths, would they be where they are today?

“It would be a sacrilege to shoot the protesters who are not looting, who are not ravaging.”

The last five years have been the most gruesome in this history of this Nation??.

Nigerians in less than four hours have raised over three million naira, to get prosthetic legs for a lady identified as Jane Obiene, who had joined #EndSARS protest despite her disability.

Jane Obiene won the hearts of many, after she joined the #EndSARS protest yesterday, despite having one leg and needs the support of crutches to be able to move.

Netizens described Jane as a hero, as they claimed she walked all through the protest.

A Twitter user @odobajnr wrote, “My hero for today was this lady. She walked all through the protest #Endsars”.

It was learnt that, Jane had been unemployed since 2013 due to her disability, but joined several other Nigerian youths to lend her voice to the call against police brutality, extra judicial killings, among other vices.

A popular Twitter user, @aproko_doctor, created a donate link for Jane with a 30 day period in mind for N500k, to get prosthetic legs for her.

In his words,

“This is Jane, She’s been unemployed since 2013 partly because of her disability, she came out in the #EndSARS protests and we need to help”.

However, Nigerians in less than four hours raised over N3.7million for her.

Sharing the news @aproko_doctor tweeted,

“I created the donate link for Jane with a 30 day period in mind for 500,000. I thought Nigerians were stretched thin from giving for the #EndSARS protests, Said a little prayer then posted the link, In less than 4 hours, we raised 3.2 Million naira and counting. A new Nigeria!”
