This people that know their value and pressure their government to do good for the good of their people Nigeria can never be like this because of tribalism and religious bigotry especially on the part of the northerners. The northerners are the number one problem of this country. Their people are mostly archaic and unprogressives. They have been mentally caged by their elites and it will take years for them to wise up. If we must progress there's a need for restructuring or disintegration. Let north live the way they want and grow in their own pace. Their population and their leaders is affecting all of us A biafran country or odudwa country has what it takes to protest against its government. But collectively as Nigerians its just a waste of time 123 Likes 10 Shares |

The rally comes after weeks of unprecedented anti-government protests that have drawn millions and anger over police using tear gas and rubber bullets to clear crowds. Riot police stand guard as protesters set up barricades nearby outside Hong Kong's Legislative Council building. 1 Like
