The situation on Awolowo Road Ikoyi this afternoon (photos)

A LIB reader just sent me these photos. They say Awolowo Road, Ikoyi has been on stand still for the past two hours because they are expecting vice-president Namadi Sambo, so there hasn't been much movement in the area. See more photos after the cut...

      Mean, evil, wicked, selfish idiots! Practically the entire island was on lock down cos a docile idiot came to town. How do u prevent ppl from getting on a road as busy as Awolowo whr thr are a whole lot of businesses for over 4hrs?! The morons won't understand the full effect of the madness they displayed today on businesses all cause 1 imbecile who adds no value whatsoever was around. For 3hrs I was on Falomo bridge, they completely barricaded the bridge so thr was absolutely no movement all to what end?! Aren't all the overzealous siren blaring blockheads they go around with providing enough security? Why prevent ppl from going their own way trying to make ends meet?!

You may need a ruler but i think everone needs a leader.. not some one who say stealing is not corruption.... When the persident comes to Ikoyi everything is halted even there is a limit you can walk.

    When things like this happen, Nigerians should protest massively, take photos and videos via mobile phones and upload them to the internet.

    All bloggers and Nigerian websites should post and report the news and also upload photos and videos to all social networks.

    International news agencies all over the world will also pick it up and report the news.

    When everyone joins forces and come out everyday in very high numbers, even outnumbering the police, the police themselves will feel helpless and either back off or run away. The citizens of Nigeria outnumber the police and security forces.

    If this is done on a daily basis and becomes the norm in Nigeria, perhaps things will begin to change gradually.

    These politicians need to be ridiculed on a daily basis for the whole world to see.

    This is how the arab uprising started. This is how Mubarak, Gaddafi etc. were ousted and brought down by their people.

    This is what has brought a lot of massive changes in other countries in recent times.

    Nigerians should rise up and use the internet and power of social media in their masses to try and make changes in the country.

    Nothing else seems to be working so we should try this approach.

    Until we take action and bring to light the ills happening in Nigeria, we will continue to suffer unnecessarily in this country.
