Red badges on the arm is for the military police ie the disciplinary arm of the police force to curtail the activities of the over zealous police men.
It's shameful that some lance corporal abuse this by tying rags on their arm. This is an abuse of force uniform and shows the level of illiteracy in our police force.

If only these protesters could channel all that energy into something productive.
Maybe they should ask Peter Obi for tips on how to run away from responsibility. Na wah!
Peter Obi really showed you Shege banza. Up till now, you haven't come off him. Obviously, that man won the election but corruption didn't allow the will of the people. This is the ripple effect of the wickedness sown on the land.
We all saw how Tinubu bought his way to the office.
TimeManager:
We knew from the begining that the protest was tainted with a political agenda sponsored by election losers. All of you will continue to lose.
Chinkoalhaji34:
You see, some people just thrive on negativity.
If you want to lose hope, go and listen to Peter Obi's endless ramblings about change without a plan.
Tinubu is at least trying to steer the ship, while others are just adrift in a sea of complaints. What has Verydarkman achieved besides spreading gloom?
yarimo:
another criminal detected 🤣 do anyhow and see anyhow. Nonsense
Well, I am well brought up and I know it's only a child raised on the street/ a child with some sort of mental disorder would insult anyone without any reason.

Wake Up, Southeast Nigeria: Silence Isn't Golden When the Country is Sinking
Since the protests began, I've been down in Southeast Nigeria, working and keeping a close eye on the deafening silence from the region.
During a chat with one of the traders, he nonchalantly remarked that the rising cost of commodities didn't bother him—he simply sold at the price he bought. I didn't find that comment amusing at all; it was like watching someone proudly declare they had no idea how basic economics worked. So, I threw in a curveball: "Can you compare the level of patronage?" He went silent, probably regretting his earlier confidence.
Our country is like a sinking ship, and it's going to take all hands on deck to keep it afloat. Whether we like it or not, we're all under the same Nigerian umbrella, and any policy made affects each of us. Demanding a better Nigeria is a cause that excludes no one.
Hats off to those in the Southwest, South, and North who are protesting. Many of them voted for Tinubu, and I'm glad they're now willing to hold him able instead of blindly cheering his useless policies.
But to my friends in the Southeast: now is not the time to stay silent. Even if the average South Easterner dreams of Biafra, the leaders representing this region have sold out, making the APC more popular here than anywhere else in the South. In their power quest, Southeast leaders are flocking to the APC en masse.
I urge everyone, regardless of tribe, language, or religion, to come out and demand a better Nigeria. There's a lot at stake.

Your point was so clear. One thing you should also understand is that Igbos were targeted on this protest especially in Lagos where war drums against the Igbos have been loudest since the emergence of this government.
The end Sars protest was used against the Igbos despite all tribes, dukes and sundry participated in that match against police brutality.
The Igbos warned against this government, but other regions felt it's "emilokon" by fire by force which was prominent in Lagos as well.
This government as well instead of addressing National issues at hand did not do justice to the Igbos as the presidential spokesperson wanted to turn the "hunger protest" to "tribal war."
This is same reason he kept finding ways to rope PO and any perceived opposition to be behind the protest.
Sincerely, the Igbos have sacrificed enough blood for this Country since inception and that's why it seemed their hearts is hardened now than ever before.
Please, anyone, region, religion, tribe, or group that feel dissatisfied about this government have all the rights to protest and if others feel otherwise ist the glaring issues, it's absolutely their choice.
Atleast, no one would say that Igbos destroyed their homes, businesses, or region in this protest.
#protest wisely!

....As if Peter Obi have the good intention of the country at heart ....A person who refuse to comment about activities and violence of IPOB. Terrorists group in the east but can quick response to the happening in other states ....How far as he solve the wanton killing and incessant sit at Home order in his region but can quickly speak about the violence in other region....this is pretentious. and hypocrisy or the highest order ....
President Tinubu. Knows how to solve the issue , he doesn't need his adulterated. Counsel or advice whose intention is to collapse the government ...
Peter OBI who cannot not solve Labour party internal crisis has suddenly become a professional national conflict resolution adviser to the government on national crisis .....what an irony!!!!
You're a very deep bittered soul. There's nothing wrong in any sense in what this man said for crying out loud. You disgusts me sometimes.
….Archbishop to Tinubu: Resign if you can’t fix Nigeria’s economy
By Steve Oko, Chimaobi Nwaiwu & Chinedu Adonu
All markets, stores and artisans’ shops in Nnewi, the industrial town of Anambra and Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra State, opened for business as traders and youths shunned the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest that started yesterday across the country.
As usual, as early as 6:30 am, commercial buses and tricycle movements were noticeable on the roads and streets in Nnewi and Onitsha, conveying traders and artisans to their respective markets, stores and shops in the towns.
Ndigbo had severally made their opposition known on the planned protests or 10 days of rage that started yesterday.
Anambra State markets’ leaderships have assured that none of the markets would be shut down during the #EndBadGovernance protest ongoing across the country.
There was normalcy in Onitsha and Nnewi, both commercial hubs of the state and other environs with filling stations and banks opened and transporters hustling for their daily bread.
To douse the tension already generated by the protest, particularly among the traders and customers, Innocent Ezeoha, Chairman of Onitsha Main Market said the Igbo are not part of it.
“You can see that the shops are open for business and traders and customers going about peacefully.
Clouts chaser. Where did they mentioned Obi in the above write-up?
Nairaland seems to be promoting nonsense that only creates division among Nigerians.
