If a simple straight case like this can drag on for this long, then where's the hope in the country? Where's the justice? where's the dream?— Dammie (@ojedammie) December 21, 2019
The fact that I'm still twitting about #FarukVsShoprite thing keeps breaking my heart.
Where do we get our JUSTICE? Nigeria Do Better 😢
Rather than justice for all, we are evolving into a system of justice for those who can afford it. We have company's, many organizations and banks, that are not only too big to fail, but too big to be held accountable.#FarukVsShoprite— 🔥LUK 🔥 S 🔥 (@OLUKOSOremo) December 21, 2019
It's so disrespectful when your intellectual property is being put to use without compensations, appreciation or any form of recognition.#FarukVsShoprite— Chief Dreay👨💻👨🔧 (@Sir_darmy) December 21, 2019
What sort of nation are we in?— ọmọ iya olukọ. (@oluwa_paparazzi) December 21, 2019
What sort of people are you?
When Injustice is done, there should be revolt on the city.
If there's no revolt,
It were better that city should perish before the night falls#FarukVsShoprite
Peaceful protest at the public complaints commission by the masses, we have to keep fighting to get that justice we deserve, Faruq deserves one against Shoprite too.#FarukVsShoprite pic.twitter.com/I1h8ie9zMY— Okechukwu Michael Barth (@OBarth_official) December 21, 2019
