Three days after some youths staged protest at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu in solidarity with the embattled minister of aviation, Stella Oduah, fresh indications have emerged that the protest was allegedly sponsored by the ministry.

Contrary to the claims that the protesters were Igbo Youths, a source told DailyPost that they were students of the Institute of Management and Technology, IMT, Enugu.

According to the source, trouble started when the organizers refused to pay the students the agreed amount.

One of the protesters who spoke under anonymity told our correspondent that they were initially promised N10, 000 each, adding that “after the protest, they took us to the Enugu Press Centre, where we were given only N4,000.





“This was quite against the earlier agreement we reached. They shortchanged us so much and we are not happy about that”.

Further investigations by DailyPost showed that a particular non-governmental organization based in Enugu was earlier allegedly approached by one of the minister’s aide to organize the protest with the sum of N1.5 million but the director declined.

It was gathered that a prominent media worker based in the South-East later accepted to organize the “fake protest.

“He went to the IMT, got some students and had a deal with them. The students didn’t even know why they were at the airport, neither could their supposed leader say the platform under which they were protesting.

“Somebody had to whisper Igbo Youths from behind”, the source added

Emeka: If you no collect me, I go collect and it's just to hold a placard in front of your face and pose for photoshots and video coverage for few minutes and daz all.

Okoli: 4k no be here o... Make we go collect am.

And the story continues.............

lakhadimar: Look at the Nigerian youth selling their future for pittance

That in mind they don't even know what is happening in there surroundings after they blame other people for their ignorance. If you want to use them for blood money at that point the gods will accept my sacrifice at that point. Can you imagine someone just calls you and you just joined them without asking what for. That's how the police put people in prison for no reason.

Am going to investigate

i nearly mak first 2 coment sha...@ thread no blame de guys o de wia inspired wit money

*sigh...

Those who forget the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them, wake up Nigerian.

So they rented the crowd and were paid four thousand naira each.
This is serious
I weep for our future leader

This woman is just bent on remaining in office at all cost? Well, whom the gods want to kill they first make mad! We are watching and waiting! Qui sera sera(what will be will be) pronto!

Sigh!!!! I give up then...

when I read or hear things like this I am moved to tears for the 'leaders of tomorrow'.See them selling their souls and those of generations unborn for peanuts.....that was how I read in the papers that some idiots who tagged themselves as 'youth leaders' from one place in the east like that released a statement saying that Stella should be left alone...these are the same hypocrites who would be shouting corruption when it doesn't favour them....I am being forced to conclude that we wont stop reasoning upside down in this nation

Poverty

chinekemeee,The same way T A supporters came to FUTO in 2012 to carry Abia state students for their bursary,only for them to reach the government house and discover that they came to campaign for T A orji with a promise of #10,000. each.they were later given #1000
idiots.

can't stop laughing! i know sensible people will not come out and support her
Madam oduah middle name na scandal

they Sold Their Birth Right just for 4k very bad

Corrupt practices to cover another.

Shameless leaders.

How can you blame Stella for this when even our president has been using market women protests against ASUU.

Disappointing

Osanobua...! I knw no right thinking person would do that for free..
If I'm approached for this kind of deal, I would gladly accept, then xpose them anonymously.

The guys still got something for their effort, Nlders are doing it free of charge..

slim fit :

we lost the value of live in our nigeria of today

When leaders of tomorrow can sell their conscience and trade their future for money just to satisfy today, you don't need a seer to tell you that Nigeria is in a big time mess.

is it true

Poverty, corruption and covetousness has reduced the country to nothing. Shame on the organizers and the student despite being educated, took to the airport to protest claiming they don't know the reason.

Wonderful.

How is this news?

Who does not know that every "gathering" in Nigeria comes with a fee attached?

4K for 3 hours of "noise" is a pretty good sum when compared to the country's minimum wage.

I believe this woman is one of the key brain behind the 40-laptop crew idea. The way internet warriors, paid protesters and paid pressmen have sponteaneously jumped to her defense

Na Today

How much was paid to the E-sycophants ooooo? If jobless youth can take 4k.

Our level of morality and responsibility to our creator has been beclouded by tribalism religious sentiments and love of money.
