Demonstrators, mostly students dressed in black, gathered outside the government headquarters.
More than 1,000 protesters blocked Hong Kong police headquarters into the night Friday, while others took over major streets as the tumult over the city's future showed no signs of abating.
The protest comes after the government refused to meet the demands of demonstrators who have marched in their millions to oppose a bill that would allow extraditions to the Chinese mainland

This people that know their value and pressure their government to do good for the good of their people
Nigeria can never be like this because of tribalism and religious bigotry especially on the part of the northerners. The northerners are the number one problem of this country. Their people are mostly archaic and unprogressives. They have been mentally caged by their elites and it will take years for them to wise up.
If we must progress there's a need for restructuring or disintegration. Let north live the way they want and grow in their own pace. Their population and their leaders is affecting all of us
A biafran country or odudwa country has what it takes to protest against its government. But collectively as Nigerians its just a waste of time
These ones are balling o, they even wear exotic gas masks!! If it was Nigeria Na bloodbath o!!
The next day news headlines be like over 350 killed and 400 injured during police and protesters face off!
71 policemen injured 25 unaccounted for!!!![[Image: cheesy.png]](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png)
