Thailand protesters manage to oust fraudulent government. Can that ever happen in Nigeria
"Thai anti-government protesters have agreed to end their occupation of Bangkok's airports, allowing thousands of stranded tourists to leave.

Passenger flights from the main international airport could resume as soon as 4 December, say correspondents.

Protests had shut down Thailand's two main airports for more than a week.

The deal follows a court ruling that forced Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat to step down over election fraud and disbanded his governing party. " (BBC)

nigerians are hypocrites, wicked beings, carwords and blood thirsty beasts; they cant learn anything from what happened in Thailand.
They are simply used to regression, anything evil wets their appetite.

Everybody wants a protest but nobody wants the gun throttling Nigeria police to shoot him,
Remember the NLC and other protest that people were shot.
Wat do u think will happen if they see us comin to eject them from aso rock and other govt houses?

@Poster, good post and good suggestion!! United we stand!!! But to unite, we need to educate the people on why we need to put aside our squabbles for the good of the future.

@poster.
Hello.
Do you know why you can't oust a government in Nigeria even when we all know that they are dirt corrupt?
Because the FG undertand the power behind mass protest and the far reaching effect it can have on any situation and the offshots which this very effective way of showing disaffection can bring.

THE POLICE PUBLIC ORDER ACT.
This draconian act that exist for the sole purpose of stiffling opposition to unpopular government policies.
How many us know that before any protest can be carried out;police permission must be obtained,that is the police must know why one is protesting and for what purpose.should this protest border on any thing that will bring the government trouble relating to any action that government had recently taken,no permission will be given.
This means that the government will not be troubled even if the governed are not happy with her.
In Summary we, the governed must bend the FG to our will by making her take an other look at the police public order act in order to make amendment that will enable us to protest peacefully any time we feel we have been wronged by the people supposedly elected to SERVE US.
Do note that the present police public order act was an invention popular with the military juntas of the recent past.for us to be free to express ourselves this maddening act must be scraped to the dustbin and sulphur poured on it.

Hello.
Nigerians must wake up and learn,

Hello.
Nigerians must wake up and see:that the future could be,

Hello.
Shaped by the actions we as a people take or choose not to take now,for the sake of ourselves and generations to come,we certainly don't want them asking questions like;where were you guys when the rest of the world is doing what they did to get to where they are?

There are lessons to be learnt alright but not in the direction you think.

For one, there will be new elections, and Shinawatra's party will win again,
because he has overwhelming support in the rural areas. Just like Northerners
have an inherent advantage because of their seeming numerical advantage.

If these ''enlightened'' protesters want change, they should carve up a nation
out of the present Thailand that excludes these rural dwellers(almajiris).

I bet I dont want this type of democracy. These elites overthrow anyone who does not do their bidding. Thai is more unstable than Nigeria. I think they  have had 3 prime ministers since 2006. They did not like Thaksin and co , but they cannot  win election in order to legislate over a simple minority. Democracy is at its peak when a simply majority won on ballots legistlates over  a minority that lost. They are no holding the govt to rasom, yet they cannot convince rural dwelers to  vote for them in order to become a majority party.
Imagine if democrats could hold Bush's  govt down because it did not agree with his policies. We have to be cautious about this type of  democracy. Let law take its course, they defiled court orders that went against them and wanted the govt to obey court orders that favour their agitation.

guy make u no go protest where mad people wear uniform as security agents o. b/c after much protest, when people don die finish, oga dem go settle a few guys from the protest, that one go end. those wey die will get mass burial. kaput.

what nigeria needs is a revolution. unplanned, spontaneous but co-ordinated attack on the status quo. then even the police that they will send to quell the violence will join the revolution. succesful revolutions have always been a masses-vs-elite issue. that cant happen now in dear nigeria b/c the ignorant masses are still busy killing themselves.

the same you?? roflmao!!!

Its surprising that a country where citizens find it easy to shed blood for religion at the slightest provocation or "local government elections" would find it difficult to uproot these pilfering illiterates looting us dry.

I believe if the foreign media got involved (BBC, CNN and the likes) I'm sure the government would not do anything as stupid as shooting everyone."But if you dont try you dont know".

easy for a lot of people on here,including diasporans to call for thailand style protest while they are eating macdonalds abroad,papaet igers if you ask me,

thailand is an unstable country, more coups than nigeria. not exactly a good model. it's army is involved in politics too. seems familiar?
