Planned Nationwide Protest, Who Are The Conveners? by MORNDEW(m): 10:52am On Jan 28, 2017
PLANNED NATIONWIDE PROTEST, WHO ARE THE CONVENERS?

I saw a message of a nationwide protest against the federal government and the current economic downturn in the country. I tried to read through the reasons for the protest and I got confused the more. I am one person who has always advocated for a total overhaul of our political system, institutions of goverment and agencies. I 've even advocated for us to vote people with credible antecedents and integrity into political office.

But in life we must question whatever we do as a people. The planned protest on the 5th of February 2017, who are the conveners of it? What is the modus operandi? What has prompted it? Who are the sponsors and what exactly are we protesting for or against? This must be spelt out to avoid it been hijacked by politicians, hoodlums and even the current secessionist criers. What are the things that should be demanded by the would be protesters? Regime change? Slashing of National Assembly members allowances and salaries? Slashing of all Government officials salaries? Speedy expedition of court cases? Putting a stop to unecessary politicking, halt of the current self sustenance policies? Or what exactly? I read from the article of the said protest that why has kerosene gone from #50 to #400. And one would ask, when was kerosene #50 per litre in Nigeria? What is the level of grasp of economic political and socio-economic situation by those behind the protest or is this another case of some group of people deceived by politicians to further heat up the already flaming polity and further frustrate Nigerians. Or another case of some youths who sat down in their room to formulate anything and broadcast it without any meaningful reasons behind it. Like the bathe with salt to cure Ebola years ago.

I learnt legendary musicians like 2face, has indicated interest in the protest but further comments from him reveals that he is not the convener but just retweeted the message. Those behind the protest must be bold to come out and brief the people about the upcoming protest and give it credibility. If not Nigerians should be weary of those who are only thinking of their pocket and need to fulfil their pledge to their sponsors. Nigerians mind what you Protest against or for.

Many are not happy. But the question is, who is bringing you out to protest? Or you don't ask questions?

We believe it is TIME we STOP COMPLAINING AND CREATE SOLUTIONS.

We CAN all create SOLUTIONS that would help Nigeria's DEVELOPMENT PACE.
Create a NEW NIGERIA within NIGERIA. We need a platform. An interactive one.
Between the Government and the citizens. We need NEW URBAN CULTURES.
The way we all go to Church 3 times a week, we use the same ginger to BUILD A NEW NIGERIA and a patriotic people.

I am building a platform called #iAbuja alias The Abuja Eye.......Coming Soon.

Everyone is invited to join the invention process of iAbuja o! You are welcome

What has Nigerian goverment ever done for you?You provide your own light,security,water,tar the road in your neighbourhood and even buy your own transformer.
There is no such thing as democracy or any semblance of governance in the country. Whats is being practised in Nigeria is LOOTOCRACY.This protest is simply to let those thieves in power know power lies with the people.

Tho what extent did you ask these questions during the occupy Nigeria, part 1? Hypocrisy is a bad disease. Different strokes for different folks? That kerosene was never 50 naira? For real? So, there is no hike in kerosene price? Are you from the moon? So, buying a mudu of garri for 400 is not worth a protest? Suffering and smiling, eye service specialists
