[Full Meeting] Planned Protest: IGP Meets With Adegboruwa, Falana, Organisers 

I am almost shedding tears for the sacrifice that Femi Falana (SAN) and Adegboruwa (SAN) and their likes have been making for the nation. They have been consistent in the struggle for a better Nigeria over the years. It will be a shame on young Nigerians not to come out enmasse for the protest considering all these respectable senior citizens have put in respect of the protest. Let's troop out and be peaceful.

An Assignment for Northerners. See how Yorubas & South Westerners Voices Dominating this Meeting. All in efforts to see and end the hardships & abject hunger in the land. Struggle devoid of Tribal and Religious Bigotry. A struggle for the Nation. Why I'm saying this is, don't forget that it is there Kinsman that's the Head of Government protesters are planning to protest against. Had we the Northerners did the same to Buhari, we would not have arrived where we are today. But we just choosed to throw abuses and tantrums on social media and discussion circles without any genuine action to pressure the government to end insecurity which has engulfed the Northern Section of the Country - among many other challenges we are facing. Kudos to Egbon Femi Falana: the voice and hope of the voiceless and hopeless Nigerians. Kudos also to other distinguished Nigerians in attendance at this meeting particularly the SW for exhibiting high levels of patriotism and imbibing Nationhood over Tribal Bigotry... I still maintain that both religious and tribal bigotry are fake and expensive, it always takes us nowhere and we pay a huge price for it: many right thinking Nigerians will bear me witness. Why I say it's fake is, because the Politicians and religious leaders that use it to divide and rule the masses. Their Children Play Together, befriend each other, intermarry, establish and run Businesses together etc

Falana remind us that God truly love Nigeria despite the fact that those who are privileged to have found themselves in the corridors of powers continues to work hard to truncate the peoples progress. After we lost Gani it was like all hopes was lost but then Falan stepped outs and told us here am I, send me. For years he has remained resolute, honest and committed to defending the people of Nigerians. May God continue to bless you sir and keep you not only long but health and strong to continue your humanitarian work.

God will keep Femi Falana (SAN) for the average Nigerians. He always speaks truth to powers; ensuring that the rights of ordinary citizens are protected. He's not like all the other charge and bail lawyers who brought us to where we are today, by imposing him on Nigerians as their president.

I'm so glad that this country is waking up. Thanks to these great Nigerian representatives.

Baba Falana is a blessing to this nation. May your wisdom not drain. Also, thanks to the IGP for his civility to lead this strategy meeting. This is how things should be done, officials should show the people that they really care.

Prof Yakubu Mahmoud, see what and where you have brought upon us.😢😢😢

I love Opeyemi Everything about her is unique... Highly eloquent and bold.. God bless you Ma

The monsters you all have created has come to haunt you..

The Nigerian bar association is making a history

Protest must go on. Protest is only language Govt understand. It will be peaceful and non violent 😊

This is so noble of the IGP, may Nigeria win. Oga Falana na big blessing you be.

Profound respect for Mr Falana and Adegboruwa SAN. Mrs Opeyemi was simply brilliant 👏 Iniebehe Effiong also asked very smart questions.👌 Kudos. It gives me some kind of hope that there are still more descent and intelligent people in Nigeria than there are government thugs.

I am grateful for these Nigerians and professionals who are standing to send the message that the govt belongs to the people.

Super proud of these representatives of peaceful Nigerians. Mr Falana and his colleagues, I’m very grateful for your intuitive leadership and galant representation of the good people of Nigeria. There are evidence of threat by some thugs all over social media. The police can identify them if they really want to. But it’s obvious from this meeting that the police are not ready to do so.

Thanks to all the speakers on this conference meeting. May the good God Almighty bless all of you. You're all National Heroes. Nigeria salutes all of you.

I will be outside to protest

The civility of the engagement is top notch. Femi falana, Opeyemi, Adegboruwa and Effiong. C’mon Nigeria has good heads. Again the igp try small. Kudos channels tv.

History wil have a review of this meeting. Mr I G. Do everything to defend and to protect your people - Power belongs to the people . Thanks to Femi fanana SAN and others , good job. Nigerians wil remember you for your fight for human right

IGP my honourable Femi Falana has said it all, that police know thug that disturbed the Endsar protester. MC Olumo should be arrested. People going around sayimg no protest they are dictator. Anybody can protest is their foundamental right to protest. I appreciate everybody all this plateform.

To late to cry when the head is off. The criminals has no Nigeria in heart.

God bless baba Falanna and his likes strengthen them and grant them long life in Jesus almighty name.

Opeyemi nailed the coffin. Thanks for confronting the IGP with the truth. What goes round comes around. Tunibu had mobilize people to protest in time past, nobody hired tugs to attack them, now he had gotten what he had always dreamed of, he doesn't want anyone to protest against his bad policies. He will answer the Allah he believes in one day. Hypocrisy of the highest order.

I so much love you sir SAN Mr femi falana,may God almighty spear your life for Nigerians and humanity as well.

We can't have a protest in the stadium or church. It will be on the roads and everywhere in town!

Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) and His Nigeria's Lawyers colleagues friends they have spoken very well.

im so proud of Opeyemi, this lady is indeed sound and eloquent!

History will forever be kind to the likes of Mr. Falana (SAN).We will never forget

🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏿🏃🏿‍♂️ NO stopping us. Nigerians will protest August 1. People✊🏽Power in Democracy

Oga police, this is not about showing anger is about hunger.

Sir,you just said it yourself that we should all come together to find ways to express our differences,PEACEFUL PROTESTS ARE ONE OF THE WAYS TO EXPRESS OUR DIFFERENCES.

My commendations to you Femi Falana (SAN), Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, etc. Please keep up the good work. Never done or heard anywhere in the world that protesters should be confined or restrained. Then what is a Protest?

This is great. May God blessing these groups of lawyers

All of you people are our national heroes of this noble nation may God bless and continue to protecting you all

He didn't answer the question on those who threatened violence and in fact caused violence but were never arrested.

Many thanks to all these Honorable SANs for standing for the people, I'm seeing this first time as a Nigerian 👏👏👏👏👏

But you have not send your men to the farm to secure farmers.

Brilliant Mrs Opeyemi and Eb. Effiong

Femi Falana (SAN), Inibehe Effiong and Opeyemi well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. If the IGP can’t perform his security duties let him resign; old incompetent fool!!

this is a land mark meeting to tell the world in the history of Nigeria under the Kleptomania government kudos to all the organiser and the speaker. Liberation from these in humane government is optima

Thanks,San Femi FALANA and every one even the women,very strong willed people speaking good will,tears of joy full my eyes,so we are not alone.

I am happy that the precious legacy of Chief Gani Fawehinmi on the fundamental human right of Nigerian citizens as regards to protect e.t.c are jealously guarded by the likes of Chief Falana S.A.N & Mr. Adegoruwa S.A.N with the active support of the distinguish Nigerians🖖👍 representing the populace at the meeting with I.G.P that to peaceful protest cannot be gag or restricted. Kudos to you all⏬👍👍👍❤❤❤ . It would be recalled the two senior lawyers were always with late Fawehinmi in the struggle for entrenchments of human right of our citizens. I am glad having the nostalgia feelings of those days of protects with late Fawehinmi, Chief Falana, Chief Agbakoba, late Beko Kuti, Mr Adegoruwa, late Tai Solarin. The friend of the masses, Mr. Inibehe Effiong your also greeted✋

God! I have NEVER seen or heard from anywhere in the world that protesters has to sit with the police to map out modalities for a civil protest to take place! The Nigerian Police has a constitutional duty to protect lives and properties whether be it protests or any other thing. Na wa oo!

Am so proud of you all, our able learned gentle men and San's for this sincere and patriotic acts in defending the masses. May The Lord Almighty Bless you all.

Imagine IG saying there must not be procession. Its your job to secure procession and rallies

I will be protesting very peacefully tomorrow.

"Your words against your words" You mentioned that you have intelligence, then use it. The DSS also said they have intelligence, they know the financial sponsors, they know the political spinsors, they know those planning violence, .... then why have they not been arrested? Why are you all not acting? Is like my security man telling me that he knows where a thief is hiding and planing to attack my home without doing anything. No intelligence in fighting boko haram, insurgency, herdsmen, pirates, crude theft, etc. No intelligence or forecast on economic woes that has befall the nation. People can not travel with a guarantee of safe return (without being kidnapped). The only intelligence is on protest. Anti-protest groups have already started protesting against the scheduled protest, without notice or informing the security agencies. You (the IG, government, etc) don't have problems with that, right? Just use your office to protect the protesters, and track and prevent any intended or assumed violence anywhere. Anyway, this is a good step. I believe this kind of deliberation and discussion will be very helpful, if all parties are sincere. Now, 😂😂😂 I see that the IG is not sincere at all. You want to know the number of people that will come out, and how to identify them. If I may ask, how many people protested against the scheduled protest in Lagos and Abuja?

This is beautiful... it's also digital...I haven't seen this before. God bless you Mr. IGP

Education and boldness good o Opeyemi

God bless Femi falana and others SAN who take their time schedule to organize these protests. Indeed you are God's sent. May almighty God keep us all safe from this horrible situation in our country 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Channels Tv you people will never go down,from top to every member of channels family you will continue to live prosperously and victoriously and enjoy beautiful lives thanks for the opportunity always,so happy and I will never forget you guys.

What Lady Opeyemi pointed out is very pivotal. Her point is rightly to be noted if we really mean to be responsible

Opeyemi God Bless You, Straight and Precise 🙏

May bless you all for standing tall to speak for the poor masses and the interests of this country and defending our democratic right. Thank you Mr Femi Falana(SAN), thank you Opeyemi and and others prominent Nigerians that are raising their voice to make this country work.

Nigeria is a country where the chiefs received intelligent reports and used the report to threaten the innocent citizens who want to exercise their democratic rights with regards to the law of the land. If anything happens to the innocent citizens, the chiefs should resign to the mark of incompetence after receiving intelligent reports.

This meeting got me thinking. As they say angel could come in different ways. Buhari may have unknowingly set the tone for a lasting peaceful governance in Nigeria. Can you see how respectful and peaceful nature of this meeting despite the hard questions and disagreements even as it is delivered in a classy manners. It was amazing and quite commendable on the side of the IG. He showed lots of brotherhood respect to those he recognized as elder brothers and even to those that are much younger. It will be difficult for anyone to view this high class meeting as a highly level national discussion that it is but in reality this is a national matter. I think it worth considering a constitutional change where the presidency would be rotational across all regions and whoever wins would be at liberty to employ even his father, mother, children as vp down to the last minister lol. For me if it will make the country great again and give us a lasting peace, I am for it.

We can’t have peace and injustice at the same time

Tinubu has introduced enough economic reforms in the last one year, but many youths may not be aware of the extent of the reforms. Tinubu has directed more money to states and LGAs than any government in Nigeria's history. What the youths should be doing is to protest at LGA /state levels and ask what is being done with additional money Tinubu is pushing down to the states / LGAs

Femi Falana is the man of the oppressed, he has been in the struggle since time immemorial, the police should know very well that if there's no provocation there can never be assault, so the police should be warned not to provoke assault that will lead to mayhem. The government should also take note not to sponsor violence, because to every action there must be equal and opposite reaction

Counting protesters is impossible.... You cant confined protesters to a particular location.... Because one space cant hold ... The population of protesters in a city... So there must be enough locations

When the RICH and the POLITICIANS robs the POOR it is called BUSINESS, when the POOR fights BACK it is called VIOLENCE. Nigeria must be and Nigerians have the right to live. So, this time around, we must support this protest. Cheers to all Nigerian youths.

From today i will never complain or say bad things about yorubas since they have civilized people like this on like one professor

Falana etal, God bless you & all yours, amen 🙏. In fact Falana should be at the Supreme Court so that the corruption there'll stop.

I guess the IGP has chosen the side of history he should be remembered for.

Good and wonderful engagement with police mgt. Thank you San Falana and other respected senior citizens in that meeting.... We appreciate your efforts and we shall protest within the ambit of the law.

Nice effort from all the speakers, most especially uncle Femi Falana and the IGP

We are in this together.

These are the men who should be leading critical sectors of our nation or even the entire nation. Nigeria is a great country with great potential but plague by bad leadership. I want to commend the IGP for organizing this forum and also to request that he caution the men of the Nigerian police to uphold professionalism in handling this protest. We do not want anachy. I salute our father, Chief Femi Falana, and the others for their courage to always speak the truth to power. Nigeria is our own. All we want is a better society where we can leave in peace, harmony, and prosperity.

Opeyemi, thumbs up !!. Very sound submission and frank questions.

But Mr IG, Nigerians doesn’t have to write your office before embarking on any peaceful protest in the country. Several courts have decided this issue many times. No Nigerian supposed to submit any letter seeking for permission to protest in the country.

this is very progressive of the IGP. education and enlightenment goes a long way in leadership. Great job to entire team. May History remember your legacy.

the commissioner of police must under the law as their duty provide adequate security.

Great, Opeyemi i really appreciate your wonderful submission

I just love this conference....kudos to the IGP👍💯

Mrs opeyemi you're my Sister. I cherish you for the question you asked. I have always wanted to know those people that used SUV during end SARS... we know the people that are bragging for the wototo treatment they metted out to end SARS protesters. he's still planning fresh package of wototo along side his pay Master

After Tinubu had earmarked N6.b Naira to(Traditional Rulers, etc to counter the protest via Pro-government Protest as witnessed in Lagos and other cities….

May The Lord of Host continue to be with you SAN Falana . We really appreciate your steadfastness & unflinching effort to make Nigeria a better place for all . God bless the soul of Gani Fawehinmi who is so elated by your excellent proactiveness to keep enviable legal legacy in Nigeria alive .

Tell the ig that we are expecting 200million Nigerians because everybody is hungry

From the look of things, During protest, everyday activities of citizens are not stopped completely rather slow down. I like the move MR FEMI FALANA gave. There should be a confined space for protester and a route which the protesters will walked around the city. And this should be well managed.

Police and agbero announcement which one is superior

A counter protest to a protest holding at the same time cannot but lead to friction and breakdown of law and orders. What does the police think of the holding of oro festival during this protest time?

Mr IG follow your intelligence and go arrest them, leave the protesters alone. You are just lying .

God bless the organizers of this forum, ensuring peaceful protest.

Why is the IGP passing the buck? So he cannot communicate with other commisioners of police and give them directives? Then, what's the job of the IGP?

Sir our elite is taking too much from the nation which is sinking lacking beside in all aspect, i wonder if our law makers are from this nation 😢😢

I admire this man for his constant patriotic posture in seeing Nigerians are free from clutches of corrupt leaders

God our Father Femi F....and all the people in the forum....To Greatness Nigeria!

The country has already been destabilized by reckless government fiscal policies, removal of fuel subsidies, floating of the Naira, raising the prices of cooking gas , raising tariffs of most commodities imported goods , raised electricity bills rates , and by combinations of some or all those actions of government listed above the purchasing power of money paid to all workers in Nigeria, became reduced to ridiculous lows that households went without food and went to bed hungry!

Miss/Mrs Opeyemi, I swear to God, may God really bless you. I am always happy when I see that these seemingly clever government heads of agencies, make statement to deceive themselves and I find someone amongst the citizens, smart enough to see through those föølish deceptive statements. They feel they have the words to continually play with our heads.. Madam Opeyemi, I really appreciate your talks, you brushed down on all I would've love to say. Thank you Madam Opeyemi once again.

God bless you ma'am Opeyemi. You're well spoken and direct to the point. You speak truth to power without fear.

You have spoken well but still you didn't touch the main cause of the protest...

Protest is a Right

Many thank to our great human right activists. Special thanks to our SANs. Police should do the needful of protecting the right protesters. Also, arrest the government sponsor thugs as mentioned and stop playing politics and endangering the lives of innocent and law abiding Nigeria citizens.

Opeyemi may God keep you safe and protect you forever 🙏

Femi Falana, Opeyemi, Inibiehe, May God bless you people

If you don't want go to the president and inform him to solve the citizens problem.

If only sincere police leaders can really take charge....

Thanks to you distinguished Nigerians for meeting with IGP and his team. This will hopefully calm the tension between citizens and police.

Opeyemi is a brilliant woman, God bless you

❤ I love 💕 this, dialogue in progress the best way to provide solutions to all problems. Hope this will be lead to positive benefits.
