Did we not tell everyone before the protest Started?
They were desperately scheming and looking for Lekki Massacre hoax 2.0 but Lagos was not available to them this time so they are blaming Abuja and Kano instead
Thank God Almighty , Wike is in Abuja to reset the heads of anyone trying nonsense
UN is too busy dealing with Ukraine and Gaza
Next they will be crying for CNN, Al Jazeera BBC and Sky
You want the Yorubas you love to hate to still come and support you,or the same northerners you claim you gaslighted and deceived into the protest to still come out and support you. First step to secede from Nigeria is to first relocate your people back to your enclaves in your numbers,then recall your lawmakers and reps to your enclave. But if ibos still continue loading themselves inside buses like okirika clothes and head down south then nobody will take you clowns serious.
What makes you think they cannot do it by themselves?
Every time it is someone teleguiding them. Russia forces are in Niger after Niger chased the West. Northern Nigeria is close to Niger and they know how fast Niger economy is growing now.
IMF and World Bank policies have been blamed for the hardship so its no brainer for Northerners to prefer Russia than the West
madridguy: I believe someone has told them that Russia will intervene if the protest continues for days. I hope they wave Hezbullah and Hamas flag tomorrow too.
We will trend it for Igbos to ignore and unfollow Reno. That would do the trick.
Throwback: You are asking a people that talk too much to keep quiet?
I think your real intention is to stop the civilized embarrassment that a much smarter and informed Reno Omokri inflicts on those who throng his page in hopes that they can outsmart him with their persecution complex.
The way Reno Omokri disposes of his haters with factual information, is enough reason to call an August meeting to forestall further tribal embarrassment.
You can't judge people based on what you think its in their mind.
This lagospedia guy is among a larger ronu gang that has been trying to incite violence against Igbos. I have been seeing their comments on Twitter.
There are a lot of Igbos in Lagos so any escalation could lead to serious violence so the ronu terrorists need to be stopped
OnlineTeacher: But this one doesn't reflect the mindset of d average ignoman? Did ndigbos not remind whoever cares to listen that t "lagos is a no man's land"?
So he hasn't said what the average ignoman had said b4.
You're making a mistake if you think the Igbos have a collective agenda to be president and as such should worship the hen because we wanna eat eggs? No!
We told you to vote Obi, not because he is Igbo but because we considered him the best among the three leading candidates. If you remove Obi and put Uzodinma, we would have said vote for Atiku because if the choice is btw Tinubu, Atiku and Uzodinma, Atiku will perform better economically in our judgement.
So Igbos have no collective agenda of presidency at all cost but for good governance. We have long known that an incompetent president negatively affects all including his people
The consciousness of the SE youths needs to change and that is what I'm trying to point out.
Relationships take time to build. You don't wait till election year to start building the relationship you need to win election and that is what the SE people have been doing since 1970 and it cannot work.
Yes, what happened in the past has happened and the past cannot be changed. But the future desired can be achieved from the things done today.
SW people understand this that's why they align with the north in many things, religion inclusive, and always deploy their propaganda machinery to prevent any unity between SE and north
That Lagospedia username seemed like a govt account even though its not.
Secondly, he is part of a larger ronu gangs fanning hatred against Igbos on Twitter. He had it coming
OnlineTeacher: Oh, now una remember say he's just one person, but when lagospedia drive rough with his mouth didn't u pack all Yorubas together as one with his statement?
When we told you guys to vote wisely, did you listen?
Electorate: Whenever the country or her people are facing challenges, a leader will address the people on national tv, that is leadership...even a notorious military dictator will come on national tv to address the people e.g Abacha with his signature "fellow Nigerians" opening speech.
Why haven't President Tinubu come out from hiding to address the people he is serving, is he happy with the current state of the nation? Does he even care about the people?
The moment the people realize the leader they look unto for solutions to their problems shows no empathy they become more angry and agitated.
madridguy: They talked down on you and expect you not to respond. People love dundee, someone they will use as a rag that won't complain. They want you to use your tongue to clean their injury with no complain.
The day you speak up, you're labelled a tribalistic someone.
If your intention is noble, you won't amplify this divisive post from this guy. You're helping to propagate it and bring more hatred towards Igbos.
You're just a mischievous fellow.
As for the f00lish guy that wrote that nonsense, he is speaking his personal opinion. Good thing he is not an elected Igbo leader so Igbos can't take responsibility for his opinions
You have shamelessly shifted the goalpost. I told you long before the protests started that Yorubas will protest because I'm in those twitter spaces and Yorubas who spoke there said they must protest but you keep saying go back to SE even though I'm not from SE.
Now that Yorubas are protesting, you're saying its the lessons of endsars being applied. Ofcourse, it will be applied because we told you guys it'll be peaceful but you were the ones talking of violence.
How far with political oro? How far with the anti-protest protesters that were paid?
Few online paper tigers claiming to be speaking for Yorubas. Ronu indeed!
helinues: Peaceful protest is entirely different from destructive protest.
Una end SARS tactics couldn't work again this time around as we prepared so early
The consciousness of the SE youths is that the North and SW deliberately vote in incompetent and corrupt leaders against sound judgement probably to spite them
So, when the consequences for voting f00lishly manifest, you don't expect them to put their neck on the line esp if you'll turn around to blame them.
However, Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria!
LandMann: Those protesting today are doing so because the problems they're protesting against affects EVERY Nigerian.
I understand that government propaganda agents successful played the tribal card to dissuade Igbos in southeast of Nigeria from joining the protest because they know that the southeast has innovative ways to escalate the protest quickly to make sure the demands of the protesters are achieved.
Unfortunately, this strategy will backfire in the long-term, and it's only the politicians in southeast who are benefiting from Nigeria's current arrangement that will benefit from whatever outcome this protest leads to.
A time will come when the southeast will need the support of other regions to actualise their goal. I'm 100% sure that when that time comes, reference will be made to this era and how the southeast youths refused to support the youths of other regions to demand for an end to bad governance in Nigeria.
Consequently, the southeast will be left to perpetually fight alone.
The solution is to use social media to show support for the protests and make such support clear and visible.
If possible, defy the call by the wicked and selfish politicians in the southeast and come out to protest in solidarity with the rest of Nigeria.
Protest in your southeast states peacefully and show it to the world.
Don't listen to your politicians who have been silent while Nnamdi Kanu continues to rot in jail but the same agitator from southwest Sunday Igboho is walking free.
Don't listen to your politicians who have been part and parcel of the existing political structure in Nigeria that impoverishes people and spreads hopelessness.
Join other Nigerian youths to show the world that Igbos also want an endtobadgovernance in Nigeria
Wherever you see posts mocking those protesting today, don't join the poster in mocking the protesters. In fact, condemn the post and the poster openly and make it known that Igbos 100% support this protest and want positive change in Nigeria.
Remember, government propaganda agents may use fake Igbo identity to spread posts mocking those protesting today to make it seem Igbos are happy that others are suffering and complaining.
That is why you must counter the government propaganda agents anywhere you see their posts.
Most of them hide under fake names and identities to spread their propaganda and misinformation.
Don't allow them win. Keep doing your best to counter them. History will always remember you
Yorubas are protesting in Lagos. Stop living in denial.
madridguy: If you are a Yoruba reading this, remember if you join them to scatter your region, they will go back to their region and from there they will laughing at you.
Don't allow anyone to vandalize your state, guide it with all your life. Their target is Lagos, don't fall for their tricks. Before you act, remember the son of whom you are.
They have tried all possible ways to send foreign investors away from SW, please and please don't listen to them. They are only there to instigate you, cheer you up to take arms against your own people while they keep their own.
Don't be surprised if it's a devilish agbadorian who's disguised himself as an innocent northerner saying this.
Most Northerners will tell you that hunger, not the Igbos, was the cause of this protest. Their people are hungry and Tinubu and his selfish policies are at the root cause of it.
This is just another attempt by agbadorians to scapegoat the Igbos to cover their master's ineptitude. It's dead on arrival.
They really don't know what they're about to cause .
''They incited our youths online to go around vandalizing the north.
We thought everybody was going to do the same in their own region. Only to see that as our cities BURNED in the north, with buildings and vehicles set ablaze, the rest of the country, especially the South East, was a picture of tranquility, silence and peace.
Leading us to wonder If we are in the same Nigeria as them. Or they reached a different agreement among themselves not to protest. If so, why didn't they tell us? It is most unfair.
Henceforth, count us out of future protests. We will wait to see that you are destroying your own side first, then maybe we will join later.
Sickening mentality and this is why people will continue to see you as a 4th class citizen. You're always on Nairaland, fighting everybody and saying the protest must go on yet y'all intention was to gaslight others to protest while you lock your shops and hide under the beds, then come online to stoke more fire. Without ibos, people protested, all you did was to come online wanking over the attendant chaos that happened, yet you saying people can't protest without the ibos. Nobody needed the ibos for protest, ibos have never been at the epic center of any major protest in history. People are only calling out your hypocrisy since y'all were on all online platforms, Tv, radio, instigating the protests, screaming both night and day yet hiding when it mattered the most.
Instead of us being in Nigeria and walking on egg shells because we don't wanna be blamed for anything, then lets get out of Nigeria as a matter of urgency.
The reason why this protest is loosing steam is because Igbos did not participate. While I get it that Igbo hate unites Nigerians, we cannot continue to live like a conquered people!
Good to know you decoded I am mad at you. I don't have anything to lose neither any member of my family if this turns political like it has been brewing since last week, but there is no igbo diasporian that want igbos at home to join the protest. E get why. The why is what people like you who are so fast to lay their cards on the table don't know. Allow the elders, politicians and those that matters in the scheme of things to navigate this thing. You don't have classified information more than them and that's why they urge all igbos to stay calm. End SARS and election violence will just be an eye opener. One mistake and you will see igbos annihilated like rodents.
helinues: Oh dear, I slept like a baby yesterday night. By every possible means, we avoided any forms of destructive protest across the 6 states in South West.
Because Igbos are not protesting? When I tell people Igbos lead Nigeria by influence, they'd argue.
The East might join after 2-3days
burp18: Things are bad and everyone knows things are bad. There was a need for this protest to hold but not in the manner at which it is going on currently. It's really very glaring to all and sunder the North is the only one losing more in this crisis. The ones who instigated this protest, the people pulling the strings have decided to go numb. Even a not very smart person would have seen this from the onset.
This is not a protest I reiterate; THIS IS NOT A PROTEST
It was barely even 8am in the morning yet and the said protesters(criminals) are already on a destruction spree. Looting and vandalizing public properties and attacking security personnels is not the way to go.
Why block major roads thereby inconveniencing other road users from going about their daily lives? Same freedom you were given to protest is the same freedom you decided to deprive other road users.
The police needs to act and they need to act fast. Any gathering of 20 people or more should be dispersed using the maximum force necessary. An example needs to be set because Nigerians are stubborn people.
Security agencies must not fall these gimmicks of these gathering of criminals in the name of a protest. The goal was clear from the onset. Obstruct, Destroy and to Provoke our police and into retaliating.
Take your protests to your Presidents, Your governors and all your elected representatives at all levels.
