kingemaker: "I kept quiet for a while because in 2015 i warned this nation, vehemently, consistently, because i saw the dangers ahead and you can tell. The most gruesome season in the history of the nation is the last 5 years where lives have no value, wanton killings here and there." What does this mean??
Stop playing the ostrich. The problems of this country didn't start 5yrs ago. If jonathan was so good buhari would never have won the 2015 election. So pls don't hide behinde endsars protest to champion your political bias. Nigeria lost its way a long long time ago and all of us are a big part of the problem, not just buhari.
King44: in order words make those political offices very unattractive
Death for looters
Power must be checked without lobby,
That's never going to happen because the people to make such laws are the ones benefitting from it. And besides 90% of youth are praying to enter there and chop their own.
Like I said the change must start from the people. Not protesting against something u secretly wish u are the one benefitting from
So it's not buhari again Una don de get sense small small That how wicked wike tried to stop the protest and when he was resisted he began to blame buhari.
Please where is our Minister for Information, Lai Muhammad. We have not heard from him since the beginning of this protest, #Endsars. He should come and perform is functions lest he should not be paid salary for the month of October.
Before now, we know how this particular minister is always coming out to defend the government and pounce on the citizens.
Please we need to knew where he is cos my concern is that I want to be sure he is safe. ��
ThatFairGuy1: This is not the Restructuring we clamoured for. NONSENSICAL
THE 7-POINT DEMANDS Concerned Nigerian started this petition to Nigerian government and 1 other We recognize that this moment is the culmination of decades of dissatisfaction over the decay and corruption of our dear country, Nigeria. We find the unhealthy haste to fashion a unit termed “SWAT” to be a misrepresentation of the 5for5 demand. It is not enough. This protest is beyond #EndSARS, #EndSWAT, #EndPoliceBrutality. This movement is for the soul of Nigeria. We are demanding a systemic overhaul of governance and institutional reforms as the barest minimum. We are better than what obtains presently; we demand progress. We are not vain agitators. We are clear-eyed youths and professionals in our respective fields who are tired of the way and manner our dear country has been run aground by successive administrations. We cannot idly stand by whilst our future and that of our children are mortgaged. Below is the updated 7-point demand that concerned citizens are asking from the government. 1. INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS (SECURITY) That the 5-point demand to release arrested protesters, compensate families of victims, investigate and prosecute all reports of misconduct, proscribe SARS and review the welfare of police be implemented immediately. However, we believe the systemic rot in the police is widespread across Government institutions. Therefore, we urgently demand an immediate Institutional reform across all federal government institutions, agencies and parastatals, especially focused on national security. Focus will be on improved welfare and terms of service for the police, military and all law enforcement agencies, provide body worn cameras for operation, refurbished housing, health, academic and pre- and post-retirement life insurance policy for the rank-and-file personnel. Also reforms on adherence to the laws guiding discipline and prosecution of erring service men this should be aimed at extinguishing all notions of impunity. 2) COST OF GOVERNANCE We have watched over the years the waste associated with governing Nigeria. We have noted the duplication and unprofessionalism in the civil service and across all strata. We demand an urgent budgetary framework with 50% capital expenditure and 50% recurrent expenditure in all appropriation bill. We demand a drastic reduction in the cost of governance. We also demand that the national assembly, be first by streamlined into a unicameral legislative and be further stripped down to become a part time job. The huge salaries and benefits accorded them by the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) should be reduced to the barest minimum. 3) CONSTITUTION REFORMS There had been several constitutional reviews where youths were obviously absent. Whether by omission or commission or both, the time has come for an informed and progressive participation by the youths. The Nigerian constitution as it exists presently does not serve all Nigerians. A more robust and engaged constitution designed and approved by all Nigerians will serve the nation. We demand an urgent referendum within 90 days to begin the line-by-line review, reconstruction and upgrade of the extant constitution to be more functional for a 21st Century nation. The selection process for this referendum will have 50% young people under 60 nominated by their peers in a transparent, judicious and fair process. We demand that credence be given to terms of citizenship over indigeneship and state of residence over state of origin. 4) EDUCATION REFORMS · One in every five of the world's out-of-school children is a Nigerian child. About 13.2 million Nigerian children aged 5-14 years are not in school. The impact of this numbers will be felt for generations. · We demand that a state of emergency is declared in the education sector and demand increase in the budgetary allocation to educational sector by 50% and to double again within the next 24 months. This funds will be used to drive the education sector to provide affordable quality education to all citizens. · A certain percentage of this allocation should be devoted to granting scholarship to outstanding Nigerians without recourse to the tribe, religious or sex. · We demand a systemic overhaul in our curriculum and method of teaching to upgrade to a digital experience. · We demand that teachers should be incentivized to attract the best brains and should be standardized and professionalized. · We demand that the parent of any child not in primary school will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. · We demand that there be an Annual independent external Audit of Fund allocation and project execution: from Government approval to disbursement across the ministry, which would further be used to publish at least an abridged Financial statement available digitally to ensure transparency. 5) HEALTH REFORMS · We demand that a state of emergency is declared in the health sector and demand increase in the budgetary allocation to health sector by 50% · We demand mandatory health insurance for the vulnerable population in our society as NHIS is not doing enough to serve all Nigerians. · We demand that adequate provision be put in place to protect the rights and privileges of physically challenged citizens in Nigeria. · We demand urgent attention to mental health and a fund to set aside to create more professionals. · We demand proper implementation of the National Health Act of 2014, including the Basic Health Care Provision Fund). · We demand that there be an Annual independent external Audit of Fund allocation and project execution: from Government approval to disbursement across the ministry, which would further be used to publish at least an abridged Financial statement available digitally to ensure transparency. 6) YOUTH AFFAIRS REFORM We have noted the giant strides made by Gen Z and Millennials across the globe. Many multi-billion corporations where founded by both generations. In Nigeria, it is extremely difficult for such to occur. The enabling environment viz-a-viz investors and lenders confidence, stable interest rate and manageable inflation are deficit in our dear nation. · We demand that a state of emergency be declared in the ministry of Youths and Sports, Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of National Planning. We demand that this should be adequately funded, sports academy should be revamped. · We demand the creation of the Youth development funds dedicated to growing the creative industries and agriculture. · We demand the creation of the Youth development funds dedicated to growing the creative industries and agriculture. · We demand that the Not-Too-Young to run bill should be expanded to include–50% inclusion of youth under 40 in every cabinet in government. · We demand that the youth inclusion be monitored by the FCC as they currently monitor state inclusion and the NCDMB and other stakeholders partake in this action to protect our future. 7) PUBLIC OFFICE REFORMS · We demand code of conduct reforms for all elected public office holders to have themselves and their children use public schools and public hospitals ONLY. Violation of which is immediate impeachment and recall. · We demand immediate removal of immunity clause from public office holders to make them answerable to investigations at all times when and where necessary. · We demand immediate resignation of every public officer found guilty of any forms of crimes and corruption they should step aside during investigation also. · Implementation of full digitization of the judicial process, prison decongestion reforms, with reforms drawn from past projects like the Uwais Report, Keyamo’s ministerial screening address, strict time limits to determination of industries litigations, etc.
All these are well and good in fantasy land. But very unimplementable. All these fantastic things u are writing are dependent on only one thing:oil. Nigeria produces nothing and earns nothing except via oil. Most youths rather spend years submitting cv than look within and become entrepreneurs. Who will pay for your health and education sector improvement
In my opinion, governance is only one half of the problem. Attitudinal change is the other half. 90% of the people protesting will do even worse if given a chance
bluecircle470: I support you tho but let’s ask ourselves, the allocation they’ve been collecting including th IGR, what have they done with it? Are they using it judiciously? The governors and traditional rulers should be held responsible for this deficiency
episio1: I see that you're a very unserious unreliable individual. You're not to be taken seriously.
Read that comment well before u quote rubbish. Even a blind bat can see that was a joke. U must be very jobless to be searching for hours for my comments. Smh
Kilowaggz: oga we know we would probably resume next year, afterall next year has a whole 12 months to consider, what we are talking about is notification..and we know it could come in this year and resumption would still be next year..so if you want to speculate,try to be more specific..dont cast a small net in a might ocean..

Daguccizgreat: We understand that the Muslim world hates him because of his firm resolve to stop terrorism and you're one them. You will have to gnash your teeth again for another 4years because he has won already.
Daguccizgreat: Folks like you always find a way to castigate others no matter how they try to be good. Obama destroyed America and that's the mess Trump has been trying to clean up
Obiobidgbo14: A fool at 40 is an irredeemable fool .Other regions have used us and dump us when it matters most.They have accused OUR BROTHER region o f SE of land grabbering, self centered, greedy etc but today we hv known WHO is greedy, land grabbers , oil thieves. I am 42 yrs now, in many occasions whenever a person from SS is being attacked whether in the north,,West even overseas people of SE will stand to defend us. It was Goodluck Jonathan's case that helped many of us to understand the writing on the wall. We will never again hate the people that care for us, people that speak same or similar language with us because people are somewhere parading liars in other to use us to achieve their selfish desire.We now know who is OUR brothers.
