Igbos shouldn't be part of it but give plenty plenty moral support especially financially.

don't worry, we will do the one we can, I know you don't want the protest to work but it is not your will...

Softmirror:
Thank you very much. Some are trying to be stubborn. I don't know wetin concern them.

We are not doing it because we love Tinubu, we are doing it for other reasons but we will moral support to those that will protest...

Softmirror:
Please no Igbos should take part in the protest.

We are not

Judolisco:
I stopped reading when u said, LG election is jst formalities... And u are calling nyesom wike a fraudulent person

I don't need to argue with you, do you know why ?

Time will reveal it to you, you can check my past posts on nairaland, just type brendaniel Tinubu and see if time is not revealing most things I said about him....

The LGA elections in Nigeria are all handpicked by the governors, there is nothing serious in it, it's just like appointment reason why the governors parties sweeps all the seats....

Judolisco:
which smaller position should he take? He should take smaller positions to learn how to steal money like other politicians arbi?

in terms of performance, there are few governors that beat wike, since 1999, you people were cool with wike until he declined supporting Peter obi.... For dis country to move forward, we need a result driven person like Wike... Every politician has their own downsides, like obi didn't conduct a single local government election until d end of his tenure, so that obiano could win.... So someone dat did not conduct local government elections is now talking about electoral reforms....

Local government election in Nigeria is just for formality, what is the difference with an LG caretaker and what these governors are calling election?

I will prefer I even save money and appoint care takers that I know will work for the people than doing election that some people will still rig their way in and cheat the people...

You talked about Sowore getting corrupt if he starts from a small office then you I don't think you even know what leadership traits are( sorry to say)....

If he can get corrupt from a smaller office, you think he will not get corrupt as president, have you heard the saying : he who is faithful in little will be faithful in much, some people don't just know how serious that statement is...

And I've seen you fall into that category, why I don't keep too many friends is because I study people from the little time I spend with them in the first meetings and I observe how the person handles the little thing around himself and things we may do together.

From there I'm already drawing my lines on the kind of friendship we will have.

This is not being judgmental, maybe that's just the way I am...

I don't know when you were born but over the years of my life I have learnt a lot when it comes to human beings and character, I'm not saying I might be 100 percent perfect in reading human beings and their character but I have seen a lot.

If you were old enough during Adams Oshiomhole as NLC president, you will wish he became president of Nigeria, I can tell you for a fact that no person fought the government the way Adams fought OBJ since 1999 till now...

He held the entire country down, he was fighting for the masses, it was so tough that some people were getting tired of the strikes, he insisted that he will keep fighting for the masses...

At the time I believe OBJ may have tried bribing him with billions which he rejected, the money did not move him, because OBJ was also very stubborn with his stand on his policies and always wanted to have his way...


Fast forward to when he became governor, what would have happened to a man who may have rejected billions to stand for the masses that later told a poor woman to go and die and look at what he has turned to today?

What happened?

Power

Power corrupted him, today look at him, there is none of Sowore's protest that is even quarter of that of Adams...

Personally I know Sowore may have rejected so many bribes to the tune of billions and if so I respect him for that, but power is different from money.

Another issue is management, does he really have good managerial skills?

It is not enough to just be an activist, Mugabe was also an activist who became president and ran down Zimbabwe and also became almost a life time president...

What happened?

Power

That's why I don't still trust Sowore, I'm not saying Peter Obi is a saint but compared to the major politicians right now, he is miles ahead of them ..

I see Peter Obi as a reversal from these trend APC has set....

He is not a saint but he is a break from the norm of what APC is doing and from there we can keep refining the leadership after him...

Let Sowore try a lower position, let us watch him and what he will do with power, if he is faithful there he will most likely be faithful for presidency...

As for Wike, please don't even bring him into the discussion, I've never really liked him, how do you guys see these type of politicians as people you can support?

I was busy shouting all over Nairaland that Tinubu is a worse tyrant than Buhari and a lot of you thought I was just being political, how you guys don't see it is what I still get surprised about...

I'm telling you and now that Wike is a worse tyrant than Tinubu, you think you've seen tyranny under Tinubu?

The man is a complete fraud, I'm still saying it here, the same way I talked about Tinubu, that's why they can work together, can't you guys see?

The problem with you guys is you guys don't know how to measure performance based on states and the resources the states have before the governors came in and what they left after office...

Wike is a complete fraud just like Tinubu, I tried explaining to someone here that kept on saying Tinubu did so much in Lagos, I explained the Lagos scam to him....

To People like Tinubu and Wike, politics comes first before governance, can't you guys see it?

States like Lagos and Port-harcort are highly invested states especially Lagos so if you compare the performance based on what they display as projects, you will be mislead....

It is like rating a driver the best because he is given a Ferrari to compete with others given Camry and Corolla in a car race because he won based on speed...

The problem here is Nigeria is not like a Ferrari, Nigeria is like a trailer, you don't need just speed, you need serious experience and patience, that is why Tinubu is failing at the federal level, same reason Fashola failed as minister, same reason, Cardoso, Wale Edun and co are failing too...

That's why I shout the Lagos scam, some of you don't really understand...

If Sowore can do even LG chairman for 4 years, let us see his handwork, If he does well, I'm telling you a lot of Nigerians will throw support for him.

donbrowser:
If you protest in South East, we will move out here in west. You cannot sit at home in your region and protest in ours.

It is you people's problem, so Igbos are now the ones controlling you people?

Ttalk:
SW doesn't take dictates from any region and we won't seek opinion or support of any region before embarking on peaceful protest as constitutional right of the people.

Moreso, we are not bigot and timid not to be able to chastised the government even if the occupier is from SW.

Pls swallow your opinion as it reoresent only you and not SW people.

SW will fully participate in the protest to demand accountability from NNPCL who has been dribbling the people. If you can't see that the agenda of the NNPCL is to undermine this government then you are still living in the Lala's city.

Nigerian will protest the widening gap between rich and the poor and demand the fulfilment of election promises of Tinubu's government

What we won't tolerate is the iinvasion of the fifth columnist who disguise to vandalise properties of SW region in the name of protest.

Even At this stage You don't still know Tinubu, you don't know who you are dealing with, as I was reading your comment I was just laughing...

Judolisco:
Sowore is the boldest opposition leader we have out there.....ive seen idiots saying he is working for the government, funny people.....

When u get in trouble you need sowore to fight for you, but when it's time to vote, he suddenly turns to a SUG president, someone said he doesn't have experience... And I asked him, experience in doing what? Stealing government funds?

If we want true change in dis country, then we either vote sowore or someone with strong hands like Wike

For you to even pick Wike speaks volume, it shows you've not still learnt...

Sowore should do a smaller position first let us see how he handles power....

May their souls rest in peace

Loveenthed:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One thing you should understand is blvcks are still far behind the world race and they will alway be behind. I don't see them catching up forever.

well, I don't believe all Africans are like that, and I believe we have some people even better than some of their people abroad in terms of leadership, Africa needs to unite though...

Happy birthday Sir...

DaddyCoool:
Name ONE politician, not only today but in Nigeria's history, whose supporters won't rig if they see the chance and it would make him win

El Rufai, he did it with LGA elections...

babasolution:
Looking at the picture of Gowon and BUHARI in London, you can easily tell all that is so wrong with Nigeria.It can be summarised as SLAVERY.

Two former rulers of Nigeria, both have ruled the longest ,both of them about 9 years.yet they can't spend a second in the country they ruled.They are permanently based in their slave MASTER country.These are old men that are like suckling babies,they can't live without whitemans sustenance. Pls in the name of God how can such a country be better or great.A country with babies as rulers, Just forget it,it's simply not happening.

Compare to SA,imagine their former president spending their retirement in Netherlands or Britain.

Nigeria should snap out of that notion that south Africa is white dependent. It's not true.

Nigeria is a million times more white dependent than SA.

Nigerias can't survive on earth without the whiteman, compare the japa rates of both countries.

Nigeria just no be am

Nigeria is just full of white dependent tribes thinking highly of themselves when in reality,they are nothing to write home about

Some of your statements are right but some are not...

DaddyCoool:
I'd just say Stalin was right (see below).
But truth is, we politicians all rig (or would rig if we could).

That's a lie, just because you are corrupt doesn't mean everyone is, you guys justify nonsense just to support nonsense by generalizing it....

Shawarmagirl:
FACTS. I know this is not the news some people want to hear but that's the truth.

All y'all hoping that one day Nigeria go better or change. Please stop dreaming and wake up. That one day you have been hoping and believing is the better Nigeria you are seeing now. Nigeria will keep going down and down even if Peter Obi, and all the powerful men of God become President nothing will change.

Kindly Japa for your mental health and children future.

Your talk is a pure lie, if we get in the right leaders there will be significant change and all politicians are not the same, Peter Obi will never perform like Tinubu, likewise Tinubu has not performed like OBJ.

I'm not calling anyone of them a saint but their performance can never be the same, if you know where OBJ met the country's economy when he took over and when he left office, he did better than most of his predecessors...

Though there was corruption in his government but he performed better than most presidents before and after him...

Why I supported Peter Obi was because I knew he was better than Buhari, but I didn't see Tinubi to be better than Buhari...

If anyone is looking for a saint in today's Nigeria political space it will be like looking for a pin in a desert of sand, I just tell people if you want Nigeria to get better, just elect a leader better than the previous one in every successive election.

That way the system will keep getting refined and the standard of governance will keep increasing with the bar raised higher and higher...

But what do we have, some people will support the worst among the worst and repeat it by picking a more worse person in the next election, why won't Nigeria be the way it is?

Leadership is a very serious business, sadly some Nigerians don't see it like that, they prefer tribal or religious dominance over good leadership.

Tinubu claims there is no money to subsidize for Nigerians but there is money to subsidize corruption and political luxury for him and his cronies in office...

It is well....

It is well...

triple996:
Everything about Anambra is always chaotic

Did you read the news or you just feel like talking off point?

Hmmmm

papyjaypaul:
Instead of Nigerians to support their own, they will play second fiddle to foreigners and foreign apps. Wasn't there Iroko sometime ago

Nigerians don't understand the power of their money. Now, Netflix is showing you who get power. You decided to give them your property, now they are behaving like property managers. Ntoooo

This is how our elites are proud of buying houses abroad, sending kids abroad, buying fx abroad, spending dollars. We never think of fixing home. We expect outsiders to love us more. That's foolishness. Let us supooer what is ours, stop lapping up to foreign things.

Well, not all Nigerians though...

Raf4:
.....bang your head on the wall 🧱

Is that what you do when you have nothing nothing to say?

DaddyCoool:
Controlling YOU, you mean. You the chest-beater! Small punk in far away Finland!!

killing your soldiers and police, he even posts the videos every time and Tinubu claims he is president...

DaddyCoool:
Killed by whom? Cowardly you?? Whom some guy in Finland is forcing to sit at home Mondays??!
🤣😂🤣😂😅🤣😂

and you are proud that a man from Finland is controlling a portion of the country your master Tinubu claims to be commander in chief of?

DaddyCoool:
To prove you you can't do shít, which they have proved

So when they are killed I hope you won't say otherwise?

Chetas81:
so you and Egyptian have same colour, you and Lebanese share same colour, the truth you know shall set you free, who changed your colour from black i will like to know

The colour doesn't matter, we are all Africans...

It is well...

The app is region based, even playstore is region based...

They earn more money like that and promote
most movies based on region...

DaddyCoool:
Soldiers are all over your East more than any other region. What have you done?? Except destroy your region and kill your people!

So what are the soldiers there for?

YorubaDemonswag:
Yes

.


It is well...

Chetas81:
also check their economy situation last 7 days, ON CNN BUSINESS NEWS, but you the black Africans, when can you live like Israel you love

We are not black Africans, we are Africans and things are changing for good in the continent
