    Am so sorry that this country is riding to another civil war and this time it will be disastrous. People can not express their civil rights again.

      We need to first take the war language out first. Building our our own systems of ruling and institutions to government, I think will work on the long run.
      We have started building a so called Democratic system. If we of today want a better tomorrow for our children, we have to take the pains of building on this this democracy, to suit Nigeria.
      If our Fathers were patient in 1966, with the coup and 1981 or 1982 coup. We would be better experienced today. Our institutions would have also have developed.
      The military intervention gave us nothing to build on. If have to build a system for us. It can’t be done in a day. Uk is 600 years of democracy. We are 20 years.
      If we destroy and start killing ourselves were will that get us to

    So this is what we have become? I always told those who cared to listen that a Buhari government is nothing short of a junta in kaftan and now, everything called a right to the common man is being taken away. First social media and now our simple right to protest peacefully

    Its rather unfortunate, why freeze their accounts? That is the lowest any govt can descend to. Why the selective freezing? They might as well go ahead and freeze the accounts of all participants nation wide. Are building or destroying? How would the freeze address the burning issues that led to the protest? Its shameful and dishonest and lacked good faith inn all they have been telling the world. Too bad and capable of sparking another round of protest.

    The title of this report is wrong. It ought to read ” CBN Obtains Court Order To Freeze Endsars Facilitators Accounts.”
    What concerns CBN in this matter? Many looters and fraudsters in and out of government were slipping billions through their nets. The only thing they are serious with is caging those who were campaigning for the betterment of all Nigerians!

    It is like the FGN did not learnt any lesson at all from the endsars protest. It is a big shame !. By freezing their account , you are indirectly calling for something worse than what just happened. The govt of the day should bury their heads in shame having FAILED the youth of this great nation . It is a pity

    BOKO-HARAM has been in existence for so many years now and we all know quite alright that they’re being sponsored by some people in this same country, so why haven’t the CBN done anything about these guys bank accounts since then?
    Hmm, Nigeria is really a zoo country.

    Dead Nigeria. They only know how to take decisions that will hinder genuine progress. Boko harram has been sponsored by people to kill innocent people only. Why haven’t CBN frozen their accounts?

    Patiently waiting for Jesus Christ to deal with them

    This idiot Emefiele who met dollars at 190 and it is getting close to 500 all because of his stupidity. The bastard leaves Leprosy and chases shadows. What concerns him with End SARS? So it means this retarded numb skull is a chief sponsor of SARS because if not, Wetin concern the Agbero with overload? Will freezing their account bring back the missing Oba of Lagos staff of office? Abeg, let’s plan for season 2 of lockdown Lagos.

    Who Gave this order of freezing Peoples Account?
    This was how soldiers were ordered to kill peaceful innocent protesters at lekki
    If it took CBN a week to trace those people helping us eat during the protest
    But 10 years to trace accounts funding Boko Haram.
    Instead to concentrate on improving the banking sector. ..since this men came on board the country is worst,,they are all trying to push their failure on Other people
    Dollar now is close to 500 from 190 ..prices of things High…Useless Block heads
