In as much that i believe that Nigerians should protest against the removal of subsidy because it is a slap on the faces of Nigeria who haven't had it good since the beginning of this dispensation and it's also good to know that Kano is not missing in action but like someone said, would they have come out to protest had it been a northern president that was in power? I can't remember how many times northerners came out to protest the over fifty years of misrule headed by the northern oligarchy.

That tribal card has outlived its usefulness. Even Northerners are beginning to realise that their leaders have not done them any favours and that there is no tribalism when it comes to corruption. Nigerian masses are waking up at last and realising that their tribal leaders have been taken them for a ride since independence.

You can't see anything otherwise you would not have made your comment.  Worse still, you have refused to use your brain, just like your silly President 'Goofy' Goodluck, who promised to 'dialogue' over subsidy removal and broke that promise.  The same retardeen, is now asking to be trusted.   I think you should go have a 'dialogue' with him.  That should be interesting.

Leadership is not a popularity contest! it is about taking hard decisions. It is about paying hard prices now for the sake of tomorrow.

It has outlived it's usefulness because a northerner is not i power. Don't get me wrong i'm not saying there's anything wrong in them protesting, i just want to know how they will react if a northerner were to be in power.

What an ignorant ni99a. So people protesting cant take time out to pray? And what part of the world r U from where they do jumaat prayers @ night. U think U being funny but the jokes on U dumb@$$

Obviously u are a northerner,my post is not a slight nor meant to be one.but as you've come up here aggrieved and angered,go and take a cold lacasera to cool down.if u think insulting me will be a medium to vent off,then u're completely mistaken. don't get me mad,u won't like it.

People have often said that the Northerners are the most politically savvy of all.
Whether they would have come out to protest if the president were a northerner or not is not the issue. The issue is that they are suffering and standing up for what they believe in.

It sad that one cannot say the same for some other regions, the apathy is unbelievable. We've all been shouting 'Revolution' and now a chance has been created for us to protest and sit still but so many people are still talking without thinking deep.
What am I saying sef? Do you need to think deep before getting angry about this?
Nobody is asking you to bear cudgels and guns, YET.

good observation but then since this is the situation we're in now, lets assume they will act the same way

im a northerner, im not a nrortherner it doesnt matterand U'll never know. U sounded stupid and I pointed it out. the northerners have a saying that one covers up shame with madness no need to get mad U already are. good day

Those of you who have spent years on nairaland talking of how more educated and superior your tribes where compared to the Northerners, this here should be reason for you all to bow your heads in shame. Look at the mostly uneducated knowing to stand up, stand strong against what they consider injustice against them and their families.

I will be waiting for the educated illiterates out there come inform us of the number of Hausa's had to fly back to Nigeria for to get this crowd to gather -- to lead them-- for this cause.

Nice one, we are just doomed in Nigeria, people will come again one day and regret their decisions to back out from the protest just as they are regretting voting for the clueless.
Nigerians will always get their own type of government and the govt will always rape them dry knowing their gullibility!

Re: Kano Protest In Pictures
« #30 on: Today at 04:51:43 »

the resolve you all witness exhibited here for good civic duty is the same source stream from which Kanawa (Kano citizens) take resilience to jihad front. in a way, this is also jihad to them but i dont hear anyone criticising Islam now. We are educated in South but we lack depth and knowledge.

u are so so right

I am very impress with the residence of kano, i hope every other part of nigeria will show the same resolve and resilient visible in the pictures and join in the occupy nigeria so that we can redefine ourselve as a people and begin the process of self deliverances from the evil minority that had held this nation in the grip of darkness in all ramifications.

oxford:

Most of these pictures are fake!!!!! Large crowd in an open space with public address system and a podium look to me like some thing from a a sai Buhari campaign rallies! I have never seen any protest without placards!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oxford:

Most of the Buhari pre election rallies held only in the north are without posters, most of the almajiris and illiterate folks that attends dont even know why they were there

STFU man. I am in Kano right now and who cares whether dimwits like you believe this is true or fake? Nonsense!

I support fuel subsidy removal. I think dat most of them protesting are less educated on the issue or just doing so at d bidding of fuel-importers-cabal. We should know dat GEJ & his economic team mean well for dis country. No doubt, dis policy is excrutiating; especially on the transport sector. But, let us not forget d eg of China's patriotic sacrifices. The gains of subsidy removal, surely, will surpass d present pains. God bless Nigeria!

Hi there, i do not think we should bring ethnicity/tribalism into this. There is no two ways to saying whay is BAD is BAD. Fellow Nigerians, i think we have to be reasonable enough and talk senses into the ears of our leaders! All efforts of our "HEROS PAST" must not go in vain.

Babzilla:

Babzilla or what is it u ID yourself with,U are RUDE.but I'll let it be.

Personally I would discourage any person from SE to participate in the so called demonstration. The subsidy is affecting everybody but then it's their one Nigeria (NN/SW ) you people should clean up the mess you put Nigerians in since the creation of this joke call Nigeria.

On the other hand, in most places casualties are being counted in single digit, by the time the people of SE starts demonstrating FG will unleash her killing machines on my people (in the name of accidental discharge) and you will start reading about double digit casualty among the protestants. As the saying goes in my place "agbesi tuo otune omulu ako"

Can someone distribute guns to protesters so we can start our revolution already

@maximip, come and pic your own gun,distribution has started discretely which can you handle?AK47 or a GMPG?or an RPG or an Assault marine riffle.if you are man enough come out!!

If they had done these when people where been killed by boko haram then it would be nice not now mate.

Well, All I can say is that if God forbidding, these protests eventually turn into sectarian clashes, Nigerians should blame it on GEJ!

i already know kano people are people on their own words, look how they sleep like what egyptian did, most of them has said they will note leave the place until the demand are met, and agreement has been signed between muslim and christian, that why i choose kano as the best state in naija, everything come to their way they unite and fight it back, imagine when kano pillars playing at home morethan 30,000 fans attend, up kano people,

The best so far with the Nigerian flag

This is not the Nigerian flag my friend!

On a serious note, I hope this protest is not hijacked by pro-Boko Haram movements in Kano or worst still an infiltration of the sect can be a major blow to the protet.

Aluta continua!

Those photographs are gathering of dangerous citizens and non-citizens!!!

frosbel:
GOMBE, Nigeria (AP) — A pastor says gunmen have attacked a church in northeast Nigeria, killing at least three people and wounding others.
Johnson Jauro of the Deeper Life Church in Gombe, the capital of Gombe state, said the attack happened around 7 p.m. Thursday. Jauro said he heard gunfire everywhere and lost his wife in the assault on the church.

Police confirmed the attack happened in Gombe, but declined to offer any details.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

The assault came as northeast Nigeria has been facing attacks from a radical Muslim sect known as Boko Haram. It wants strict Shariah law to be implemented across Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below

im really worried about any form of protests in the northern part of nigeria,as most of those people there at the jubilee square do not know the reason why they have assembled and as usual they normally start with prayers with dangerous weapons either hidden in their pockets or stashed nearby to be distributed by same people who donate their local breads.someone said there was an old guy there.that old guy can wield the sword faster than u can blink.

So what is happening now?

@beaf. who ever you are. may god bless you, i've been telling whoever cares to listen and shouting it everywhere even on facebook that the only way to cure and save this country is through revolution. that is the only way, else we are just wasting our time.

I'd always said the only time Nigerians protest is when there is an indirect effect on their bellies.

Why was there no similar protest against the scourge of Boko Haram, Corruption and whatnot.

Nigeria face the main problem, Subsidy is gone and is for the good of NIGERIANS. Boko haram are killing innocent souls, protest against boko haram and leave fuel subsidy. Nigeria wake and stop chasing shadow
