nope,he used wisdom.the truth still remains the rally is 2faces's initiative,he started it.it is a lot more dangerous for him to participate being a public figure.i feel he has done his part by raising and organizing the rally.the rest is left to you and i.

Stop protesting for symptoms... Protest for the real real reason the symptoms show...

.. We need to understand what recession is and how we got here and and how we can get out....


My idea is simple until government revenue is above 30 trillion per day (and mostly through tax) we won't be able to develop....

I hear governors collecting billions as security votes u don't care because the money is not from ur pocket....

We need to tax more.. Its not fair 10% of people own 90% of our wealth... And the only way to redistribute this is through taxing
Tax more to loot more, we are in deep S H I T, obasanjo spent 16 billion us dollars on power, we did not see any meaningful changes in power, what we need is restructuring IMO

Not true. Even if they collect 100 trillion per day. If there are no sound structures and systems in place, that money will be looted and go into private pockets as is currently the case. Money is not Nigeria's problem, its distribution is.

My little neighbor came over to me yesterday and asked that I helped with his home work. The homework was about "HERO".

So the question read.. " MENTION SOME PRESENT DAY NIGERIAN HEROS"

I cracked my head thinking...and it dawned on me that we don't even have Heros. All those who are in top positions do nothing worthy of emulation. All those who seemed to be different went into politics and became vagabonds in power.

The Heros of today just may be all those protesters who are risking their lives coming out to speak against this injustice, nepotism, corruption etc.

Ok.
But a hero mustn't necessarily be living.
Same way Martin Luther king, Abraham Lincoln & Nelson Mandela are heros till tomorrow

It wasnt about 2face, its about our country

besides, 2face was seriously threatened, if you watched the video...you could see that guy was practically shaking, you could feel the horror and unrest through his eyes...his eyelids were wet, lets not talk about the look on his face

even the video proved it was edited with cut and join scenes....apparently the poor guy broke out in tears at some point

pray for him and bless him for starting this in the first place,

we only started from where he stopped...lets give it to him

@ Omudia11, I agree with him.
That's true! She sacrificed her life and took practical steps to protect so many others from dying.
Our politicians do not qualify in any way to be called heroes.

Re: "I Stand With Nigeria" Protest Begins In Lagos (Photos) by Nobody: 9:51am On Feb 06, 2017
They should have done this thing during the weekend.

People will not leave office for a protest that might not improve anything in Nigeria and will most definitely get them fired and deprive them of their source of livelihood.

It should have been done on a sunday and turnout would have been far more than this, whether police presence is there or not.

This was a very bad way to start a protest in Nigeria, assuming they did the protest on sunday and there was improvement in the lives of Nigerians afterwards, they can easily organise more protests during working days and many people will actually forget work to partake because they know the protest would yield results.
