Uniformed man Infringes On Civilian Right In A Commercial Bus!





 The scene in the pictures below happened opposite the Yoruba Tennis Club, Onikan, Lagos - Nigeria. The young man putting on sun-shade was already seated at the window side, front seat, of a Yaba bound  bus when a uniformed man got there and asked him to move to a plastic makeshift seat attached in-between the driver's seat and the window seat, which is not comfortable by any means.


The uniformed man was asked to sit on the inner (plastic) chair instead, or else where in the bus, since there weren't much passengers at the time, he (uniformed) insisted the (civilian) man should move instead.


A small crowd gathered,  as the civilian man politely refused to move in. Passengers in the now filled vehicle, and drivers from other commercial buses (waiting for their turn to load), tried to make the uniformed man see reason, and to understand that since he met the man already seated, ordering him to "move in, so you can seat" was as a matter of fact infringing on someone else's right.


When all "good" reasoning fell on deaf ears, and since the uniformed man insisted that he must seat on that particular seat, in solidarity, the other passengers in the bus simply alighted together with the young man, and boarded the next bus in line.

Shameful Act Of Rivers Election Re-Run Candidate Goes Viral!

A video of one of the candidates of Rivers states , Nigeria; from March 19, 2016, election re-run, Azubuike Nwajoku, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who  reportedly stormed one of the voting centers, to demand for a re-fund of money, from an official has gone viral. 

From the clip, it appeared the obviously fraustrated candidate, peharps because the situation did not go as anticipated, ran (battle ready) to the polling-unit, demanding for his money.


...."where is my money...where is my f%$&king money" he pulled the officer's table, brought out his phone to call 'who knows??'....

"I don't have any problem with anybody, I have problem with you"-  Azubuike was seen and heard, telling the polling unit officer, as one of the security personnel intervened. 





                                                The Clip:

                                                  


Other officials at the unit could be heard asking Azubike- "what's your problem?". His men were eventually pushed out of the room.

An official was heard, quoting the Constitution to the candidate. Can you beat that?.


"Do or Die Politics" (DDP); this is one of the many issues that beclouds the Nigerian political system. Where touts run for positions, at all levels of governance, simply because those who should be vying for such positions, who know the Constitution, those with integrity, shy away from doing so. 

With this group of people infesting the political system, how can the country move forward.
