In a surprise move, politicians from the South East, South South, and Northern regions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are reportedly joining forces to pressure President Bola Tinubu not to contest the 2027 presidential election. Instead, they want Tinubu to pave the way for a South East member of the APC to become the party's presidential candidate.

This development is seen as a significant shift in the party's dynamics, as it brings together politicians from different regions to advocate for a common goal. The move is also likely to spark intense debate within the party, as Tinubu's supporters may resist the idea of him stepping aside.

The South East region has long felt marginalized in Nigeria's political landscape, and this move is seen as an opportunity for the region to produce a presidential candidate. With the APC's internal politics heating up, it remains to be seen how Tinubu will respond to this pressure and what implications this will have for the party's future.

Wasted effort by jobless people. If the government gives them 2k now they will now dance and praise the government

That's a rather dismissive and cynical view. It's understandable that you might be skeptical about the effectiveness of protests, but to imply that protesters are only motivated by financial gain is unfair.

Protesters are often driven by a desire to bring about positive change and to hold those in power accountable. They may be advocating for policies that benefit the broader population, rather than just personal financial gain.

It's also important to recognize that protests can be an important part of a functioning democracy. They provide a way for citizens to express their opinions and to bring attention to important issues.

Rather than dismissing protesters as "jobless" or assuming they can be bought off with a small amount of money, perhaps we should be listening to their concerns and engaging in constructive dialogue. What do you think is driving the protests against the fuel price hike?

Blackfire:
We go flog una tire and still increase the fuel price...



Poor people with entitlement mentality


Disturbing the govt,

Paid protesters by ipob and fulani elrufai

That's a concerning perspective. It sounds like you're dismissing the legitimate concerns of people who are struggling to make ends meet due to the fuel price hike.

The right to peaceful protest is a fundamental human right, and it's essential to respect people's freedom to express their opinions and dissent.

Labeling protesters as "poor people with entitlement mentality" or implying that they're being paid by external forces is unfair and dismissive. Many Nigerians are genuinely concerned about the impact of the fuel price hike on their livelihoods and are exercising their right to protest.

Rather than trying to frustrate or discredit protesters, perhaps we should focus on addressing the underlying issues driving the protests.
What are your thoughts on the fuel price hike and its impact on Nigerians?

Dreal1247:
Does protest work in Nigeria? And I hope the mobilizers are not seeking for an opportunity for personal settlement with the protesting masses. Nigerians are becoming more manipulative as a result of the present economic realities resulting from poor government policies of Tinubu and cohorts.

I understand your concerns, but protests can be an effective way to bring about change in Nigeria. While it's true that some individuals may try to exploit protests for personal gain, many Nigerians are genuinely seeking to bring about positive change. Let's focus on supporting peaceful protests and demanding accountability from our leaders, rather than dismissing the efforts of those who are seeking to create a better Nigeria for all.

A lawsuit seeking to compel the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Bola Tinubu is set to be heard by the Federal High Court in Abuja on March 4, 2025. The suit, filed by Attorney Olukoya Ogungbeje, alleges that the government's handling of the #Hunger protests constitutes gross misconduct, a constitutional ground for impeachment.

The impeachment suit has sparked intense debate, with some Nigerians expressing support for the move, citing concerns over the government's performance. Others, however, have questioned the timing and motivations behind the suit, with some arguing that it is a politically motivated attempt to destabilize the government.

As the legal process unfolds, many are watching with bated breath to see how the court will rule on the preliminary objections raised by the President and the Attorney General. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the future of Tinubu's administration and the country as a whole.


Constitutional Grounds for Impeachment: The lawsuit hinges on the allegation that the government's handling of the #Hunger protests constitutes gross misconduct. If the court agrees, it could set a precedent for future impeachment proceedings.

Separation of Powers: The case raises questions about the limits of executive power and the role of the judiciary in holding elected officials accountable.

Political Stability: The outcome of the case could have significant implications for the stability of the government and the country as a whole.

The people of Lagos State have expressed their discontent with the Tinubu family's grip on power, particularly with Bola Tinubu's perceived role in rigging the 2023 presidential and governorship elections. Many Lagos residents are still bitter about Tinubu's boastful claim that it was his turn to become president, regardless of the people's vote.

This sentiment has led to a significant shift in support towards Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party candidate, who is seen as a more suitable and indigenous choice for the governorship position. In contrast, Seyi Tinubu, Bola Tinubu's son, is viewed as an outsider, with many arguing that he should contest for the governorship of Osun State, where his father hails from.

The situation is further complicated by questions of indigeneity. Many Lagosians argue that Seyi Tinubu, whose father hails from Osun State, should seek office there instead. In contrast, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, whose father is a Lagosian, is seen by many as a far more suitable candidate – a true son of the soil, if you will. This argument resonates deeply with the indigenous population, who feel a sense of ownership and pride in their city.

The anger extends beyond the presidential election. The handling of the #EndSARS protests, resulting in numerous deaths and detentions, has further eroded public trust in the current governor, Sanwo-Olu. This confluence of events has created a potent cocktail of frustration, making Seyi Tinubu, Bola Tinubu's son, a deeply unpopular choice for the next governor. In fact, you could say his candidacy is about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party.


The sentiment overwhelmingly favors Rhodes-Vivour for the 2027 election. Residents are actively strategizing to ensure a fair election, determined to prevent any repeat of perceived electoral malfeasance. Preparing to pull out all the stops, employing every conceivable tactic to ensure their preferred candidate prevails. The upcoming election promises to be a fascinating, and potentially volatile, chapter in Lagos's political history. It's a David-and-Goliath scenario, with the people of Lagos seemingly poised to challenge the established political order. Whether they succeed remains to be seen.

JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST PROSTITUTION IN NIGERIA 2025


Abuja, Nigeria - January 2025

The Nigerian government, in collaboration with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society groups, has launched a nationwide campaign to combat prostitution in the country.

The initiative, tagged "Nigeria Against Prostitution" (NAP), aims to raise awareness about the dangers of prostitution, provide support for victims, and bring perpetrators to justice.

According to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), prostitution is a significant problem in Nigeria, with thousands of women and children forced into sex work every year.

"Prostitution is a form of modern-day slavery, and it's time we take a stand against it," said Julie Okah-Donli, Director-General of NAPTIP. "We urge all Nigerians to join us in this fight against prostitution and human trafficking."

The NAP campaign will involve a series of activities, including:

- Public awareness campaigns to educate Nigerians about the dangers of prostitution
- Training programs for law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders
- Provision of support services for victims of prostitution, including counseling, shelter, and vocational training
- Collaboration with international organizations to combat human trafficking

The government has also announced plans to strengthen laws and policies against prostitution, including increasing penalties for offenders and providing protection for victims.

"We are committed to making Nigeria a safe and prosperous country for all citizens, and we will not tolerate any form of exploitation or abuse," said a government spokesperson.

To join the fight against prostitution in Nigeria, members of the public can:

- Follow the NAP campaign on social media using the hashtag #NigeriaAgainstProstitution
- Report cases of prostitution or human trafficking to NAPTIP or other authorities
- Support organizations providing services to victims of prostitution
- Participate in public awareness campaigns and events

3. Keeping a brothel or allowing premises to be used as a brothel (Section 225).

State Laws
1. Northern States: The Penal Code (Northern States) Federal Provisions Act prohibits prostitution and prescribes penalties for offenders.
2. Lagos State: The Lagos State Prohibition of Prostitution Law prohibits prostitution and brothel-keeping in the state.

Sharia Law
In states that adopt Sharia law (e.g., Kano, Sokoto), prostitution is prohibited and punishable under Islamic law.

1. Imprisonment for up to 2-5 years.
2. Fines ranging from ₦50,000 to ₦500,000.

You are the one that is unserious about the whole thread because your tribalistic habit would not let you hide your dishonesty towards the southeasterners in public.

Stop foaming in the mouth. I only asked questions.

If the south east votes can't fill a basket and they are not interested in building any bridges, how then can they win the presidency?

Explain to us logically

Hypocrite
You are wasting your time, if you think I will answer your bigotry tribalistic silly question.

Noise maker.

helinues:


Director, with which votes? The one that can't fill a basket.. Hahaha

And relying on building bridges might be too late as the cement is now cost too build a new bridge..

You tribalistic bigotry hypocrite yoruba like talking carelessly, you always talk without thinking.

The 2023 Nigerian presidential election has left a sour taste in the mouths of many southeasterners, who claim that Bola Tinubu forcefully took the presidency, disregarding the region's turn to produce the next leader. This perceived injustice has sparked widespread outrage and calls for restructuring.

According to Edwin Clark, convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), the southeastern region has been marginalized and excluded from key positions of power. Clark pointed out that Tinubu's administration has appointed 10 Yorubas as ministers from the southwest, while only five ministers were appointed from the southeast.

The election results from the southeast, south-south, and north have been cited as evidence of the region's dissatisfaction with Tinubu's presidency. Many southeasterners feel that their complains were ignored, and that Tinubu's boastful claims of it being "his turn" to become president were a clear indication of his disregard for the region's aspirations.

The controversy has reignited calls for restructuring and greater autonomy for Nigeria's regions. Clark has urged Tinubu to implement the 2014 National Conference Report, which recommends greater decentralization of power and resources.

As the debate rages on, southeasterners continue to demand justice and equality in Nigeria's political landscape. Will Tinubu's administration listen to their concerns, or will the region's dissatisfaction continue to simmer? Only time will tell.

Tinubu is a certified failure as his presidency has been marked by soaring prices of essential commodities like fuel, kerosene, diesel, gas, food, and transportation, causing untold hardship to Nigerians. The latest fuel price hike, which saw prices skyrocket from ₦198 to ₦1,030 per liter in just 18 months, is a stark reminder of his administration's ineptitude.

Furthermore, many believe that Tinubu's ascension to the presidency was unjust, as he allegedly "forcefully took" the position meant for the South Eastern region in the 2023 general presidential election. His boastful claims that it was "his turn" to become president, regardless of the people's vote, have only added fuel to the fire.

The South Eastern people are now demanding justice, vowing to "forcefully take back" the presidency from Tinubu in 2025 or seek his impeachment. They insist that they will not be silenced or ignored, and that justice must be served, regardless of the opinions of other groups.
