₦airaland Forum

I purposely posted nothing during the start of the protest less the usual online miscreants wail that we are stoking riots.... However I must sympathize with the dead and congratulate the living. The path to a successful country whether as one Nigeria or as bits of independent States, is usually costly.... For one, known cl@wns like BAT (Buhari and Asiwaju) has no place in such society. I especially congratulate the Igbos for staying aside while the people who bore the brunt of Asiwaju Govt hit the streets.

What I realized from the past few days are really humbling:
1. Asiwaju is a little better than an ediat. He's totally oblivious of what the situation are!
2. He's totally disconnected with realities.
3. He thinks every Nigerian is like the Lagos urchins he share rice without stew and they clap for him.
4. He has no clue the resolve of the northern Turks to make him an OTP.
5. His only hope of clinging to power (Southern Solidarity) is gone! He has only MC Oluomo and crew on his sides. Even his cultist friend is thoroughly ashamed of him now.
6. He will be probed and disgraced if he insists on staying more than needed.
7. His friends the usual cowards who get attacked by the north, but chose to call the Igbos would desert him like they deserted GEJ.

The shocking parts of what is playing out is Asiwaju thinks every Nigerian is like those miscreants who line up his Bourdillion home asking for Amala and gbegiri..... That infact when you throw them bags of rice as palliatives they will forget their sorrows and let him be! Too bad, there are refined, absolutely educated NIGERIANS who are ashamed to beg for food or stand in the queue to get rice without stew..... I remembered years back when I first came to Europe and things were tight because of I was trying to settle....and a friend, told me to join him to go to the city council to eat free meals with no strings attached, I know I how feel when I saw healthy men and women standing on the line to pick what they want. It was so distasteful and I went back, better resolved to work harder. And G-d blessed me.

Now, back to Asiwaju. NIGERIANS do not need rice palliatives. All they need is a working society, and if you cannot deliver this little tasks, get the fvck out of there, or you will be fvcked in there!

Post Asiwaju!
All it takes to get the food industry working is simple!
1. Get Master planners to draw a security corridor for food growing.
2. Use the more than 2 million Nigerians doing NYsc year to groom Agriculture clutter towns and villages under the security corridor.
3. Create a semi independent Value Chain for offtakers.
4. Mandate all Govt ministries to serve local meals for breakfast and lunch and take it from their salaries, this will first create the demand before the public make the difference...

Yes, I be Igbo, we get sense no be small!

Bigkoko ~ Discover Africa with us!

Now i know why Asiwaju hurriedly begged the US judge for more time, using "Irreversible damage" alibi to escape the US.... moooo Asiwaju fit shit for body upon hearing this news!

Focus on the essence of the post... If you have problem with late ifeanyi Uba, or those tauting him, go create a post for it. herer, we talk real issues regarding those alive, not the dead! the Dead, can no longer speak for themselves, let that resonant on you!

IgweOfNnewi:
Bitter grievingory Obi people are bereaved monkeys

Focus on the msg, not the tautrums. The Igbos has a way of making themselves heard, which might include any of the following, throwing jabs, raising their voices, or physically making gestures which might intimidate the other person, and make them feel thretened. So focus more on the msg...at least this is an online forum. No body go beat anyone online

Thank you

Star boy ` Osibanjo and Ogbeni, two trusted and close confidants who knew asiwaju more than anyone else told everyone that Asiwaju is a little better than an ediat....now see!

Akanbi lule pii.
Yemi Osinbajo, Ruaf Aregbesola, Babafemi Ojodu are vindicated.
Beside money bag politics and evil devices, Asiwaaju is empty.

Did you also remember when the Igbos told you Asiwaju mean no good, and is even a worse version of Buhari, Mr. Remember Did you??

Ikaeniyan0:
I remember when some Igbos were claiming Tinubu will never become the president

Even the anti-protest protest he suffer go, them never still pay am anything!

SisterJolade:
Are you from Jalingo? Hurry up ok.

Hahhahahaha....geng geng...... the real mobilizers of the protests has revealed their identities. So that old cl@wn assisting Asiwaju on media should shut his mouth, those online miscreants here should redirect their focus to the north. but alas, they will still find a way to smuggle PO & Igbos into this! Some of these people are cursed sha!

Good riddiance to a bad rubbish! If Iran can not protect their own president, na one stinking terrorist them go fit protect?

Hahahahahhahah.....oye Naka, you go find evidence tire till bulaba get chased out of there!

I laugh at your comment. It starks of foolishly mixed with a hopeless expectation. I am surprised that you lots have found a way to say it originate from the Igbos..... Allies ko, lillies ni!

helinues:
Northerners can never threaten South West people. They are long time allies.

May be some disgruntled northerners who have been sidelined from the scheme of things but the real northerners are solidly behind his excellency president Tinubu hence so many planned protest was withdrawn which was an order from Northern stakeholders

All those Northerners who have been visiting Buhari, na sense baba Bubu dey follow them talk as request from the presidency. When last have you seen any of them attacking this government?

Even Dangote issue recently, Arewa had to call him to order not to tow that lane

Nothing is wrong with blacks as a whole, just that some chronically vseless, old lazy Never-do-well ediat, like the old werey above.....keep making the world think blacks are clowns!!!!

Imagine an old man better off playing draft or learning carpentry so fixated on supporting bad leadership! Tufiakwaaaaaa this kind evil, bad belly old clown! Only someone filled with legions of demon is capable of sustaining such wicked charater..

Imagine the old fool was tauting protesters yesterday that they hsve protested against protesters.....when the poor women they decieved into coming out for a bag of rice were not paid....

It's such a shame you haven't the simplest clue your post and comment provoke others.... Not bad, I don't expect you to know.

Whether I'm busy isn't non of your business, and off course I can afford to lazy off compare to those who must support trash before they eat! See the difference? Lol..... It pays to work hard, have a job or skills that would put food on your table. An advise I took seriously!

Least you Begin your normal accusations of chest beating..... You can have a bit of these please, not much but it's balanced!

You can report for all you want, after the ban more sushi for dinner!

Bitterness is reserved for those possessed with legions of demons making them support bad leadership!

Those without means if livelihood are those too conscious about ban. Our life revolves more outside nairaland.

You're invited to dinner bruhnnn! Choose the one you want!

helinues:
Why do you always come online with the intention of provoking others for no sensible reason

Are you even too busy to reflect on your activities on this forum?

People who are living a good life would never have time for others not to talk about attacking others because of just politics.

You got banned with your bigkokorep account for attacking me, you still want to embark on the same journey with this moniker

Stop being bitter on my mentions. It's for your own sanity

Mhmmmmm..... It appears the northerners have seen light and wants to the strength of their votes, voice and protest with Asiwaju!

This iconic slogan was allegedly pushed forward by a son of former governor of Kaduna State....

OTP roughly translates to One Time President!

These women are understandable....

Can you believe that there's one agbalagba hyping Asiwaju up & down because he was promised a whooping 800M naira loan by APC?

A lot of these rhesus monkeys supporting Asiwaju were promised one foolish thing or the other.

That's why the most vseless old fool here on nairaland has the audacity to taunt protesters protesting unjustified policies that left them hungry!!

As Oro festival no work na to use Efcc.....mtchewww.

No be Egbon Ola again? Person wey dey fear Bello naim wan probe protesters account?
Abeg talk better thing Biko!

Thank you my dear Werey.
Firstly both those who voted Buhari and Tinubu are mad! As it's clear that despite the yearly hundreds of millions Buhari received from state coffers, he did not have any business or investment befitting a former coupist. Same with the clown 🤡 in Aso Rock!

As for those taking orders from the short engine in Finland, you no Sabi them? Go tell them Biko and stop behaving like people wey he madness newly start!

Sit at home? Na your house them Siddon for or na your business them close? Their decision to shut up their hustle doesn't have a national dimension. You don't pay tax to them neither do you pay their rents Biko. So as renowned Asiwaju miscreants like callinius decides to be jobless and spend all his time on nairaland, how is that our business?

Maybe you are intentionally mischievous, stewpid or both. Those who loot oba of Lagos palace na who?

The 18k of 2015 is more valuable than the 70k of today. You fit no understand because you fit still dey chop maami food.

As for PO....we Igbos have a proverb that says a good product sells itself!

Enjoy your misery dear, no be me cause am!

Ttalk:
If those supporting Asiwaju are mad what do you call those who believed Buhari was cloned?

What do you call those who take orders from Ekpa in faraway Finland

What do you call those who sit at home every Monday

What do you call those who committed arson by burning government properties during endsars protest.

What do you call those who ignore a government who pays 18k wage but are raging at the one paying it's workers 70k

What do you call yourself who supports the Agulu failure in a small state like Anambra?

Mehnnnn so none of these rhesus monkeys mention PO?

Maybe them Dem sleep Sha.... after free cash shouting Jagaban at the protest against protesters protesting unjustified policies that left them hungry!

Where that old vseless ediat wey no wan work or use he life do better thing?

This should be the best.....

Jflex07:
Avoid this jobless guy with his various meaningless threads.

"We" "Us"...... Na so madness take meet you for old age?

This nairaland resident, who know you? Even flies no send about your seriously!

Person wey dey protest against protesters protesting unjustified policies, that one na person?

In case you no know, demons wey don take free lodge for your mind pass 200 roman legions

helinues:
Show us the blood crying before we can take you seriously

I'm beginning to believe what someone said earlier, that infact 99% of those supporting Asiwaju are mad, once mad and might soon be mad!

Na Asiwaju be president, naim be cinc, yet una expect poor fishermen to do Asiwaju work!

Tufiakwaaaa! That moment even you realize Asiwaju na vseless president

It's a lost cause! This lone voice of reason can not form the needed Critical Mass....

As is, NIGERIA is gone! Wait until a more vseless ediat become president. We complain about Buhari kwo... Asiwaju proved to be more vseless. Wait till another equally or more vseless fellow get in....

For now. Make Dem elite enjoy.....the younger ones will pay the price!

The Planned Days Of Rage Protest; Conspiracy Of Yoruba Elites And Demonization Of Igbos

I am a proud Yoruba man representing the ‘Fadeyi Constituency’ of life in Nigeria (my catchphrase for all the powerless and opportunity-less in a land blessed with so much), and I was very happy to finally read a poignant piece from a much-respected Yoruba man like Babafemi Badejo, who broke ranks with many Yoruba elites to speak the truth to our brother Yoruba in power.

Thank God for the few true Omoluabi Yorubas remaining, like Babafemi Badejo (a former UN Representative), who show that there are still a few Yoruba elites left who can see the developing dark clouds over our nation with frankness and call it what it is, instead of joining many of their elite ethnic brothers and sisters in throwing the Igbos under the bus for everything about the reaction of suffering Nigerians to the unbearable pain our whole nation is going through, regardless of tribe and clime.

I have observed that these days, many of us Yorubas, now that we are in power, seem so blinded by our love for our tribe and ethnic region, buoyed up by our previously hidden hatred for the Igbos, that we now automatically adopt the position to blame the Igbos or Peter Obi first for anything that happens in Nigeria today that is against the status quo. Many Yoruba elites do not seem to notice or care that the Igbos are not in power, and Peter Obi, the so-called ‘Igbo leader,’ has not even taken the posture of being the leader of the opposition other than speaking out occasionally against unacceptable policies of this government as is his right. As far as they are concerned, the Igbos are the demons behind every ill wind they feel, even if it is a result of the direct actions of a government that is going nowhere fast despite its cast of very smart Yoruba elites.

Truth be told, after listening to and watching some of the most cerebral Yoruba leaders I know throw reason to the wind in their collective disdain for Igbos, I was beginning to think that there must be a conspiracy among Yoruba elites to play the ostrich over the underperforming administration of Tinubu that has left most Nigerians in more poverty and hopelessness.

Rather than speaking truth to power, most Yoruba elites, who were very vocal against GEJ’s failures and Buhari’s backward-moving government, have now chosen to hide under the banner of ethnic jingoism by always blaming one tribe (especially the Igbos) while ignoring the dissatisfaction among Yorubas with the current status quo. All of a sudden, it is unpatriotic to demonstrate against the rising cost of living, and all we hear now is, “if the Igbos want to demonstrate, let them go to their land,” as if all Igbos have had an ethnic meeting and declared they want to come down and burn down Lagos, Ibadan, and maybe my Ijebu Mushin too.

It’s just all weird to me.

Take this planned Days of Rage Protest, for instance. We can all see that many high-profile Nigerians, including well-known Yoruba men like Sowore, Babatunde Gbadamosi, and Adeyanju, are behind this protest, along with some Igbos and Hausas. However, many of my Yoruba elites have taken the default position that it is only the Igbos planning it against their own Yoruba man, President Tinubu. They have chosen to believe their own lies that the only objective of this planned protest is for Igbos to burn down the properties of Yorubas in Lagos, even when it is their own fellow Yoruba men who have carried this planned protest in their heads! This is most unfortunate.

Listening to many prominent Yoruba leaders, one might get the impression that only the Igbos are planning to demonstrate and that they intend to burn down Lagos or Ibadan out of envy for what the Yorubas have achieved.

Frankly, I think it’s disgusting for some of our elders who know better to take that position. I cannot believe I am now hearing previously violent NADECO members, who even detonated bombs during their own fight for democracy, speak with a straight face that anyone who protests will go home in a body bag. Ha!

Truth is, if we want to condemn a potentially violent demonstration, let’s all condemn it regardless of which tribe we assume is leading it. And to be perfectly clear, I personally condemn the planned Days of Rage protest in the strongest terms. I condemn it not because I oppose demonstrating against this government (I believe we should all protest against Tinubu’s government to let him know how bad things are and make the leaders do right by us, as is allowed in any democracy), but I condemn it because of the connotations of violence evoked by the themes “Days of Rage” and “Revolution Now” unfortunately adopted by the organizers.

I cannot support a protest with the theme to do rage or to bring everything down, no matter how strongly I believe this government should get a taste of its own protest medicine. That’s why I am not supporting it, but I am also all for the idea of protests. 100%.

Only a naive person would assume that anything called ‘Days of Rage’ or ‘Revolution Now’ (an organization run by a known Yoruba man campaigning for the release of a murderous insurrectionist like Nnamdi Kanu) will be peaceful. The protest’s name alone evokes chaos, and no responsible patriot should support it.

That’s why I am not for Days of Rage, but I do believe that citizens have a right to protest peacefully, and they should protest peacefully against the current government. It has brought us nothing but economic hardship while they build N20 billion houses and increase their fleet of private jets and drive around in N200 million naira cars paid for by the resources of the people! Yes, we should peacefully protest a situation of runaway inflation and mass unemployment and mass hunger in the land! I am just not for any Days of Rage or Revolution Now since they may cause more deaths and violence by their mere characterization through their slogans.

However, for any of my Yoruba brothers and sisters to divert attention from the catalysts of disaffection that gave rise to this planned protest by playing the tribal blame game is unacceptable to me.

Yoruba leaders who claim only the Igbos are planning to demonstrate hypocritically downplay the fact that their own Yoruba sons and brothers are prominent in organizing this protest. Sowore is very visible; he coined the phrase ‘Day of Rage,’ organized Twitter meetings to decide on demands, and published those demands, including the release of Kanu.

Yet, it’s the Igbos who want to take Tinubu down? What a laugh.

Make no mistake: there are indeed many reasons to protest in this nation right now. GEJ did not put us through 50% of what we are enduring now before the same Tinubu called Nigerians to the streets to discredit Jonathan’s government and ultimately cost him his second term.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. It’s supposed to be a democratic right to protest, but now our so-called democratic Yoruba leaders are threatening death to anyone who dares to protest. They are rolling out sacred traditional institutions to intimidate citizens by doing 15 days of Oro—a period longer than ever before.

Let’s be clear: while the chosen name for the planned protest is unfortunate, the organizers have not committed any violence yet. They have not attacked anyone and have not stated any violent intentions. They asked for safe passage and a place to demonstrate, but our Yoruba elites consider it insulting that they are asking for permission to use public places or even for water (which, while ridiculous, shows they want to come in peace). You can’t just shut down a planned demonstration out of fear of violence.

Sure, we had violence in the past with EndSARS, but everyone forgets that the violent aftermath was caused by the violent shooting of protesters in the first place. If the government didn’t shoot youthful protesters who had been peacefully protesting for two weeks, maybe we would not have had the mindless violence that followed.

We cannot overcompensate for previous violent protests by saying nobody can protest now that Yorubas are in power.

I am most unhappy about this and will keep saying so. I am embarrassed by the number of prominent Yorubas who have become murderous defenders of an underperforming government just because it’s one of their own.

I am hearing SANs and State elders threatening instant death and shonpono against demonstrators, and I shudder.

What’s going on, you all? Is your love for Tinubu so strong that you refuse to see the reality in which most Nigerians live? Are you so committed to defending the unacceptable status quo that you are ready to throw all Igbos under the bus just to keep others oppressed? Are your own children and relatives not suffering under the hardship imposed by a man who promised us deliverance? If people want to demonstrate, should you not be encouraging them while urging them to be non-violent?

My name is Ope Banwo, the Mayor Of Fadeyi and while I am very proud of my Yoruba heritage as a double prince from Ikala, in Ijebu Imushin, I am most unhappy at the embers of ethnicism being fanned across the country against other tribes, especially to the igbos.
