Portable should sort out his life and allow someone else do what he chooses...!

Peaceful protest is the inalienable right of every citizen in a Democracy.

If protest no hungry you, lock up! Don't attack or discourage others interested in doing so.

Seems Northerners can't wait till August 1st...!

Revolution dey hungry them.

Maybe MTN has truly overstayed its welcome in Nigeria...!

Their cup don dey full!

If only Glo were not so unserious and poor!

There would have been massive boycott of that greedy South African Enterprise.

chimauk:
You are a fool.a big one at that.you mean,the government should continue siphoning the common wealth and make people hungry and poorer,while those who are sponsoring the protest should use the money to do what the government is meant to do.use your head

Okay... Let me just assume you didn't read my post well.

...It can't be that a graduate (I assume you are one) can't tell the difference between "Protests" and "Anti-protests".

So, I will advise you to breathe, calm down, read that paragraph again, and APOLOGISE!

Sigh... I can now see why FG is scared of nationwide protests.

I doubt any protest in Nigeria can ever truly be peaceful.

One way or the other, kasala must burst.

Pastorjohn2:
God works truly!

You people want to cause chaos and fire in this nation because you think tinubu is a magician that can remove 16 years of pdp corruption for 1 year in office?

Keep foolish yourself and your household!

See how stylishly sidestepped Buhari's own 8 years of irreparable disaster...!

Even when you know Buhari's 8 years were 5 times worse than PDP's 16 years...

But shame no gree you talk am, since Tinubu’s hand is in it too.

Anti-protests actions going on...!

Expect more of such bizarre antics.

What a country! What a Democracy!

Finally! Dem don settle this one.

Abeg, make Tinubu or one governor (maybe Sheriff of Delta) try remember Reno Omokri.

That's disrespectful coming from VDM... He should be more careful with his Choice of words.


Meanwhile, all the Billions being spent in the name of Anti-protests, won't such funds have been better spent solving some issues being raised by the protesters?!!


Everything this government is doing simply shows they lack direction, and are just desperate to hold on to power for their personal benefits.

They are simply telling the world that they are really guilty of what the protesters are protesting about.

More like...what's in it for me

Most Nigerians rely on a complex system of patronage to survive, which is dependent on (not always, but mainly) tribe and religion.

IN 1966, the five majors struck. Within 24 hours, everyone hailed them and called them heroes...even the North. Within a week, when the dust settled, the North realized that most of its leaders in the tripod leadership were gone.

The coupists were patriotic NIgerians who actied in the interests of their country, but the coup also wrecked the delicate patronage systems that existed at the time. That led to crisis, and eventually to war.

(Remember that the US removing Saddam was a good thing, they removed an oppresive leader, but they also removed a vital controller of some of the violent thugs and tendencies in the region. And they regreeted it. Same with Ghaddafi, removed a brutal dictator, but also removed a complicated system of checks and controls that kept the violence in the region down, and led to disastrous consequences).


The same thing is happending to day. That is why we can never have a unified people's revolution in Nigeria. Because at the end, there are too many delicate patronage systems that would be upset. That is why the people telling us not to protest now were saying the opposite in 2012, or the people who are now protesting were quiet in 2020, and 2012. Nigerians are in it to preserve their precious systems of patronage, and if things get tipped over, it means war.


And if we split Nigeria, the same thing is going to happen in the new countries. Plus we are not an industrial nation, so we don;t have enough jobs and money for everyone, and that is why those patronage systems have become too too important (IN AMerica, while they exist, a rich businessman is going to employ a guy from a poor background...if the guy has the skills he needs. He won't employ his nephew or his friend's son in that position so long as their skill set is not up to it).

It is not due to bigotry...in my opinion, we are not too bigoted. (I spent a large part of my life in the Muslim North and no one told me, as they did in Sudan to non muslims nentering the bus, that the slave knows its master. Yes, that's a crude bigoted slur used by some sudaneese against other sudaneese. With attitudes like this...). A Nigerian wants to preserve the system of patronage, because it is how he or she survives. It can be broken, but, as seen in the begining of the old Soviet Union and the PR CHINA, it means a prolonged period of crisis, and destruction before things get better...and no one wants that.

Well analysed!

Salewa97:
Hunger protest in Niger State? This is just another avenue for chaos.

When will we learn that protesting without a solid plan only leads to more suffering? Instead of channeling energy into destructive demonstrations, why not engage with the government and demand real change? Protests that turn violent only exacerbate the problem and put innocent lives at risk.

Nigerians should be wise enough to see that protests without purpose are a waste of time. Hunger isn't solved in the streets; it's solved in the boardrooms and through policies that uplift the people. Let's focus on constructive dialogue rather than chaos.

Constructive dialogue! Engage with the government!

Lol!

These only happen where actual democracy is practiced.

When was the last time we had a mere Presidential address or better still a Live Media chat?!!

You think these hungry people can dialogue or have meaningful discussions with the gods (yes, gods) they 'elected' into office?!!

If engaging with government and dialogues where common place in this country, would there be protests?!! Would your president take rash economic actions without consulting the people?!!

Are the yearning and welfare of the people factored in before actions are taken at the top?!!

Since protests calls started, we have had more words and actions from this same government than when they got into that office! Why?!!

Suddenly, we now have more military and police presence everywhere!
DSS is Suddenly all over the place!

Where have they been all these while that farmers and travelers have been maimed, kidnapped and killed all across the nation?

Please, learn to be objective and honest... Speak truth to power at least once in your life!

Nah... Fuel Subsidy can't be back (though it's still technically partially on).

What needs to be urgently addressed as a matter of emergency include:

1. Insecurity: this is the root cause of food shortage.

2. Food distribution

3. Industrialization

4. Corruption and Wastage


Mr. President needs to get off that high horse and come down to the level of Nigerians via the state and local government leaders.

overall90:
The answer is simple.
These idiots know very well that Obi won that election so any time they remember what should have been,they get delirious.

That's not smart at all.

The more attention and attacks against the man, the more they draw people to his side, especially in the face of their poor leadership.

The best response to the harshest critics is SUCCESS!

They should properly channel resources to improving the nation all round... Time is ticking out on them!

Peter Obi can't be the headache at this point... He isn't standing in the way of good governance.

Brendaniel:
You guys keep damaging the reputation of the south west and the Yorubas, thanks to Tinubu who dragged the Yoruba tribe into his politics...

Guy, leave this talk abeg!

When Buhari was in office, how well did the Northerners speak up against him?!!

The same people that always stood against any opposition to Buhari's poor leadership at every opportunity!

Almost every Nigerian is ethnically bigoted!

This obsession with Peter Obi is not normal at all...!

For someone you all claim is no threat politically since he came a distant 3rd, why the consistent focus on him?!!

The nation is on the brink of economic collapse, and a whole Presidential special adviser is obsessing over a mere "lightweight" policitician!

Just imagine he had succeeded...!

He would have added "Billionaire" to his name, and gone about chestbeating this coming Christmas.

These idiots are so desperate... They don't mind forfeiting their souls for money.

Max24:
Nah India Obidients they get their propaganda materials against Tinubu from now. Very pathetic ! Arise tv is no longer enough for them. Maybe next time they would go and be looking for anti-Tinubu news on Somalia tv. May we never labour in vain like the Obidients. Clowns !

You know... You can't hide behind Obidients forever.

You just can't keep using them as an excuse for every misstep and failure of those you support.

Wait... What about the men's team (Eaglets)?!!

Dem no qualify?!! SMH!

Yeah... The economy is recovering.

Recovery that started since 2015!

Haba!

The panic is seriously amusing...!

Like, did they think Nigerians will remain quiet in suffering forever?!!

Buhari testes the waters and collective limits for too long, but got a taste of the panic during Endsars.


I will never understand what made his successor think he can toe the same path without repercussions.

Sigh... What's left of this former Giant of Africa?!!

For nation that has never experienced war in over 5 decades, this is a monumental disgrace!


...And the worst part is... This is not even rock bottom yet.

CorrectionFLuid:
A country that has over 19000 airports. Imagine the number of planes. The more the flights, the higher the occurrence for any country.

Wow!!! That's serious o.

In a university?!! SMH!

These lecturers need to be put in their proper places.

Apart from Jonathan, Tinubu and Obasanjo, is there any other top politician in this nation that stayed true to his original party?!!

Sigh... Dem never kill everybody finish for that place?!!

This kind broad daylight genocide ehn...!

Can Netanyahu and the Jews live with the fallouts for many years to come?!! Na wa o!

Sigh...

Kobe Bryant and daughter
Herbert Wigwe
Several soldiers

...Now, this family!


What's going on with America's aviation sector?!!

How has Sleepy Joe not declared a state of emergency on that sector?!!

Mitsurugi:
I have never seen someone so foolish like this. He should at least read his manual. It's amazing Sowore has positioned himself. Adegboruwa is their lawyer yet na Igbo this Eastern that. If it's not madness I wonder what is

Manual?!! Hahaha ha!

Boss, you sure say manual dey this their online agbero work?!!

As usual I'm expecting that tribal mod to delete this while ignoring those above me

Time Registered: July 2024

Dem newly employ this one!

If you wish to succeed at this job of Ass licking, try to be better than your senior colleagues... Be more creative!

We all know this...!

Endsars was peaceful until Apc leaders decided to send thugs in uniform and mufti.

Their aim was to paint the protest bad and discredit the protesters.


All the time and resources being spent to demonise a legitimate protest would have been better spent preventing it, but Naija will always be Naija!

Slow country with slower clueless leaders.

What is surprising to me is that many of you are surprised!

Interesting...!

This hombre has killed and masterminded the deaths of more people than the Plague!


I will never understand how these cartel people sleep at night.

They are far worse than religious terrorists.

Sigh... RIP to her.

E come be like say na almost everyday we dey type "Rest In Peace" for this forum and social media.

Life expectancy just dey crash everyday for this Country.
