I am not impressed with the way this country is been adminitered of late. However, this intended protest will not and cannot solve the problems, in fact it will compound more problems.

No government,I repeat no government in the world have ever turn around the economy of a battered country like Nigeria in 2 years. It took Obama close to four years to turn around America s economy after recession.
Nigerias economy depends solely over 70% on crude oil export, the price of crude has crashed from average $100 to average $40 dollars in the two years this government is in power. Not forgetting that daily export has also plummet thanks to the militant blowing up pipelines. Under this condition only diversification can help the economy and this takes time. Therefore,protest from now till next year, 15 years of misrule can never be remedied in 2 days.

lol, tell a lie long enough and you would believe it to be true.

In my opinion, an online petition will have no effect at all. On the 1st of January 2012, subsidy was removed and fuel price was increased from N65 to N140 or thereabout. We protested and the govt was forced to reduce the price. If a protest could work then, it can work now. It is not a crime to cry out when the suffering becomes unbearable. The responsibility of the police is to ensure no breakdown of law and order on that day. Not to stop the right of citizens to associate.

Not in this country. Protest won't work. Enough fps on nairaland on that day. There can be a petition online where we all sign. People are putting finishing touches to spoiling that day. I know what I'm saying

MakeADifference:
Don't worry about the tear gas since you're not going to protest. Prophets of doom. If one drop of blood is shed on that day, APC will see that there are 165 million Nigerians that didn't vote for them.

Esteemed ladies and gentlemen of this great forum. This is a thread to gauge the general feeling of the hardworking, tax paying, responsible citizens of our country. Kindly state your own take on the planned protest scheduled for the 6th of February nationwide. State whether or not you believe a protest should be held on the said date and why.

This is my own take.
I work hard everyday to make a living for myself and my family. I pay my taxes to the government of this nation. I fulfil my obligations by obeying all the rules and regulations of this country.

Meanwhile,
Government officials and politicians who are meant to serve me put their needs and desires first before mine. Politicize issues of the economy and security while i now work harder, earn less and spend more to survive. Everyday i am at greater risk of losing my job because of the rapidly decaying economic situation. In all honesty, i have never had it this bad as a Nigerian (i don't even want to start listing the current prices of commodities).

I support the protest against the government of the day because i think enough is enough. Is it a crime to be a citizen of this country?
(Note: I am not protesting against any political party!)

Let me have your own take on this issue with reasons. Please let's have a decent conversation

Lalasticlala kindly assist to move this debate to the promised land?

seguno2:


If protests won't work, how do you describe what happened in 2012 against fuel subsidy removal?
If protests won't work, please explain how online petition will work?
Our minds are made up.
We, the youths of our country, are tired of being called leaders of tomorrow while they steal our inheritance and deprive us of electricity, roads and jobs.
Together, we say- #EnoughisEnough.

tonardo:
No No No No No No No No No No...
Why,?
1. Why not protest when PMB hike the fuel price, why now?
2. It's too dangerous, because this government don't care..
And Lagos state commissioner of police has threaten...
3. Why will i protest when we saw the hardship coming, we embrace it now we are complaining..
4. That protest wouldn't be peaceful,,. Innocent soul shall be lost
5. And i know there won't be meat pie and coke, like the at ojota.
Occupy Nigeria.
