Shame

under development is the root cause fo this fight.currencies of all denomination suppose to be avaliable especially to the commuter drivers.

Again,its only animals like dogs that can fight in the street just as seen in the pictures but i never knew it was hunamn beings,its a shame to those animals.

Thanks SR for publishing

Thanks SR for publishing these pictures and doing your job. Hey, for some commentators asking why take the pictures instead of separate the fight, I counted about 10 bystanders who are as adequate to act as peacemakers, some actually did do that. A reporter reports what he sees, and that is what the reporter did. chikena!

Nigeria jagajaga, everything

Nigeria jagajaga, everything scatter scatter!

Uncle, In the first place the

Uncle, In the first place the woman was not the 1 that needed rescue as she could just have easily walked away from the situation, and If you take a good look at the picture, you will notice that there was someone who got the lady away from the fight. Every one has a role to play, every one cannot be 'Voltron'.
Even some things that happen on the international news scene could have been solved by the CNN and SKY reporters, but that is not in their job description.

Ever driven on a Toll road in

Ever driven on a Toll road in the U.S if you dont have the e-pass you have to get your change ready the buses have a sign before you enter that says Exact fare only you feed a machine that would vend your ticket if you want change you go to the Gas Station and get your change ready it has nothing to do with Poverty but plain stubborn commuters ....who never hear Conductors from Zaria,Lagos,Kaduna AND Abuja shouting i no get change or Ba ni da Changi please.. for Lagos shebi dem de marry commuters conductor go give una ten Naira to go share

Poverty no be better thin

The conductor said what our

The conductor said what our leaders should be doing and saying . Change before you enter Bus , change of attitude , change of Government , change of doing business as usual . Ordinary Nigerians know what we need to have Peace and move forward . The Ruling Crooks dont and dont care .b

real mike Tyson

The legislature are the main champion of this free fight for all because of money Lagos state House of Assembly during Gov.Tinubu regime had free for all fight throwing chairs and table on each other as if they are purely Ekitti State bush farmers, then down to Abuja national Assembly during the (national cake cutting)sharing of furniture allowance (OBJ regime).Lastly House of rep. Dimeji bankole and Melaye so why blaming those guys fighting for change all the people mentioned above fought because of change.

lesson 101

The government should make lower denomination notes avalaible

Great shots!

Cannot stop laughing. it's all for fun. In Lagos we do shakara. Fighting only burst out occasionally but the talking and yabbis is loud and empty.

hmmmm

...sorry, you cant even spell modern..

Suffering and Smiling

..a hungry man is an angry man...

Time To Sit Up

In the erra of a wind of change blowing all over the world some idiotic commentators on this forum see issues only from their tribal periscope as opposed to a rational well thought out point of argument. My advice to these block heads is to sit up shut up before they are left behind in their make belief world.

ROFOROFO!

Suffering and smiling.Make una no laugh o.Poverty dey make person loose im sense o.No be dem eye o!

Change palaver

I can see an igbo man (in white) blowing a yoruba man (in red) while a hausa man act as umpire.Edo woman tearing rag with unidentified nigerian.

Street Fighting

This is illiteracy. So these infections had spread from Lagos to Abuja, the morden capital?

FRUSTRATION!

PEOPLE ARE JUST TOTALLY FRUSTRATED.I have been living here for just over 2 years after an abscence of 30 years + and must admit i have been to a police station thrice this year(2011).i have had 3 different cases to deal with and i was the complainant every single time.A good friend of mine who relocated about the same time as myself was murdered in his own house last week.
In the course of my business, i get spiritual threats on a regular basis from both my competitors and middlemen.what i do for a living is completely legitimate but my attitude to money and work is different from my rivals,hence the threats. Nigeria is a tough place to live in.
My advice to folk in the diaspora who are thinking of relocating,TRUST NOBODY IN NIGERIA.Even you relations will do you in.Every Nigerian dreams of easy money,they all want to be billionaires overnight.

SR....thanks jare..a needed

SR....thanks jare..a needed break from the daily doze of corruptionmania in th naija system..

"there can never be peace in Nigeria until everyone comes forward to a bus stop with their own change"

In the UK too much change may even turnout to be your problem....but well said, we are dying to come back to Naija!

"there can never be peace in Nigeria until everyone comes forward to a bus stop with their own change"

my pipu una dey hear the words of the wise man?

Why does the fight have to do

Why does the fight have to do with anything with Government. I think we just blame the govt at everything we see. I understand the govt has not lived up to its expectations. Bu give me a break. Its your personal problem if you want to fight and that says a lot of you personally not the govt

u nor get sense

U just D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣γ̲̣̣ open ur big mouth, D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣γ̲̣̣ talk rubbish
