KingOfTheDamned:
This thing you guys are doing is not how things are done. Nobody hates him we are all saying stop sitting on the fence and support the protest

We have protested by not voting for him. Let those that voted for him do their own protest now.

[quote author=mohims post=131011395]You must be high on pawpaw leaves. They won't achieve anything with their protest. Mark my words and quote me anywhere. Nigeria no be Kenya. The North have already disassociated themselves from it. The great Sheikh Yahaya Jingir has advised them not to partake in it. Just dey play.
Yahaya Jingir is like a demigod in the North. The protest is dead on arrival. Obi will NEVER rule this country because the North will NEVER support him. Without getting the required percentage in the North, how will he ever become president? An Igbo man can never be trusted

"Kano people don't help Nya miri/Igbo people organize this protest"

~Sheik Sani Yaya Jingir.

He paid northern Imams to tag the next protest Igbo protest.

Weaponizing 66 politics to retain power.

are still deceiving yourself. The issue is not about Igbo ruling Nigeria. Tribal bigots like you are the problem of this country.
People are dying of hunger, you are here talking of Igbo man. Does it show that your brain is okay.
The Igbos said they are not interested in any protest because they did not vote for Tinubu in the first place. Tribal bigots like you keep dragging them into your senseless talks.
Nigeria does not need to be Kenya. End SARS was not from Kenya. June 12 (if you have been born then) is not from Kenya.
No one even plan for a protest and no one stops it. It is something that will just start from no where. I have participated in many protests as a student of Unilag in the 90s. I was a year ahead of Sowore . Unilag students were behind all the June 12 protests that pushed IBB out. So we know how it is.
If you love Tinubu advice him to do the right thing. Igbos should not be your problem for now , there are bigger problems at hand. The hunger in the land does not know Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo.

mohims:
We have told them countless times that Nigeria no be Kenya. You want to topple a government by starting with a protest that has hidden objectives. Una go learn the hard way. You guys will see shege pro max SE. RIP to some of them in advance. May God console their families.
Your protest won't achieve any of your objectives, instead you'll die like chickens

Mr man go and sit if you don't know what to say. Your Yoruba people are the ones that will topple him. They are the ones you should send your RIP to. Stop living in self-deception.
Go and talk Tinubu matters with just 3 Yorubas in your neighborhood and hear what they will say. Sycophants everywhere.

Rubbish advice.
You have not advised Tinubu as an APC leader on how the masses are suffering.
Now that they are getting restive, you started playing ethnic card.
Your so called leaders of Lagos and you will be consumed when it starts. Advice yourself. Leave the Igbos alone. You and your so called sleeping leaders of Lagos are the endangered species as it is now and not the Igbos.
We warned them, they said he is their tribe and religious person.
Don't drag the Igbos into it. Advice your APC and your president.
And anyone who thinks that an average Yoruba person in the street of Lagos is happy with Tinubu is living in the fools paradise.
Just leave the Igbos out of the mess you people created for the country.

Image123:
You're free to run to your echo chambers to get the so called answers that deceive you. i answered you clearly by saying to be patient about FG policies or scrutinizing your own state government for faster impact. Governance is not magic. There's no "fast" way to removing the impact of subsidy removal and flotation.

Did you know that Gen Abacha increased the price of petrol from 80k to N11 and the economy did not turn upside down. Can you figure out how many percent increase was that.
Did you also know that Obj increased the price of the same petrol up six times during his reign . Again the economy did not turn upside.
Both GEJ and Buhari also increased fuel price without destroying the economy.
They all planned and consulted
The Agboro style of PBAT is the real problem. His body language says that he has nothing to offer.
Again if you know the difference between micro and macro policies, you will not be talking of state governments.
Give PBAT 20 years, nothing will change. It will only get worse. You cannot not give what you don't have.
So stop defending nonsense.

Image123:
Was the country doing well before May 29, 2023? No. Nothing was turned upside down. The thing that happened though was that fuel subsidy was removed and the currency floated. These are two things that people have been calling for for years but there was no one with the courage to do it, because of the implications like what we are currently experiencing. All the major candidates promised to do these teo things during election campaigns. Only ignorant people like you did not know that it will be this painful. Stop letting politicians decieve you about an easier way out.
Your state governors have the power to connect your life to good more easily. Ask them to do better in your state and local governments. They will touch you faster than FG. If you have patience, wait for FG instead.

You did not answer the questions I asked you. You are still taking nonsense. This why I prefer to be in Quora or Reddit, rather than Nairaland that is filled with sycophants and ethnic bigots.
Look at the nonsense you are saying.

Hopeless advice.
If we don't join the protest, it is because we saw the disaster ahead and warned our people. But tribalism and religion blinded them. Now the jungle is matured and everybody is feeling it.
Just yesterday, a Yoruba friend said that it is now that he understands why the Igbos did not support both Buhari and Tinubu.
I said Toh!

Hopeless advice.
If we don't join the protest, it is because we saw the disaster from afar and warned our people. But religion and tribalism blinded them. Now the jungle has matured and everybody is feeling it.
Just last week, a Yoruba friend of mine said that, it is now that he understands why the Igbos did not support both Buhari and Tinubu.
I said Toh.

jyz200:
Everybody blaming the president
Untill Nigeria start holding their state governor responsible
Untill you start holding your senator responsible
All your representatives responsible until will change
Imagine a big state like oyo state can't even feed herself, what has the Governor done to salvage the situation
All of them blaming the federal government

You think that you are making sense?
Give the exclusive list of powers to the States and then we shall hold them responsible.
The FG cannot hold exclusive powers over customs, immigration, currency, army, police and all macro indices and you exclude them to hold state governments accountable.
Did you understand how economy operates.

millionaireman:
Some groups in Nigeria survived the civil war when food blockade was used as instrument of war against Biafra.
Those Nigerian groups today must have developed thick skin against hunger.

Believe me, the situation was not like this during the civil war in the East. You know that God has a way of providing for his people. There were abundant supply of bush meats and vegetables. The land was also over fertile that crops multiple and mature in one month.

Image123:
Act fast, How? Rome was not built in a day, the president didn't promise to build Nigeria in a day either.
Increase funding and support for the healthcare and education sectors. Is it not during budgets that this is done? Were they not significantly increased in last year's budget? Have you heard about what is going on in the health sector, have you heard about student loans being rolled out? Have you heard about consumer credit? Have you heard about the different times grains and palliatives have been distributed (which is not a good way to solve problems from previous experience)? Have you heard about what is coming up in the petroluem sector, gas sector and the energy sectors? People think changing Nigeria is like starting a car engine, just turn the key already and we are in paradise. If anyone needs to act fast, i think it is the state governments.

You think that you are making sense. How long did it take your president to turn the country upside down. He did not even sit on that seat before he did it. And now you think that he needs 100 years to make one positive impact on the masses.
All the audio policies you mentioned, what are their impact on the masses, that's the relevant question.
Keep on playing your sycophants game until it will be late.
I hope that during election, you ask people to vote only for their state governments so that they will be the ones to hold responsible.
Just De play, a stitch in time saves mine.

MrPOTUS:
People hardly mock the elderly in this part of the world, an old man in distress will receive help from everyone around him.

But the case of BAT is different, we all know he's not fit and too old to be heading this country, but he still doesn't want to rest.

See how he's destroying d country with reckless abandon and causing massive hunger across the nation

So, he shouldn't expect public sympathy, but mockery from the public when he gets into distress.

Some people are even praying he dies

God have mercy on us o

REALITY! No love lost between us and our tormentors.

nolamicautos:
If Nigerians truly understood how the world views them, we would be compelled to hold our heads in shame and stay silent. The actions of some Nigerian youths and the government's shortcomings have severely tarnished our global reputation through rising incidents of fraud and other illegal activities. If this trend continues unchecked, it is only a matter of time before external forces take significant actions against us.

You are right. Na tribalism and religion cause am.

JagabanB:
So what are the positive changes in Kenya so far?
U all don't even know how to make comparisons.
Few weeks ago it was Nigerians praising Kenya and how Ruto is a great leader.

Is he not a great leader? Has your own president did anything since the people started complaining of hunger in this his administration?

Vinnie2000:
A statue is just a Representative of a Great Personality.
To remind us of the Person's Great Deeds.

In foreign countries, There are Statues of Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, Thierry Henry, etc.

It Does NOT mean such statues should be reverted or worshipped.

In Catholic church, It is Same. Statues are NOT be worshipped.

Just to remind us of Christ.

God said don't do it. So will you listen to God or foreign countries?

johnjose68:
This is a good news.
The i.pob miscreants will avoid the thread.

What is good about the news?

just De play.
E go rich everybody soon.

Emusan:
It took Argentina President less than 6 months who was sworn in in December to take the country inflation from 25.5℅ down to 4.5℅ without adding a single digit to the inflation.

Now, the report is that Argentina has experience the first week without inflation in 30years.

Yet see what you fake lovers of Nigeria are celebrating ordinary projection and if this same projection failed, you come with the different excuses.

It still surprises me that given the situation of things and the resources and powers of the government , Tinubu and his crew don't know what do to give hope to the people and bring this situation under control.
Everyone knows that, it is not about fiscal or monetary policies. Focus on Agriculture and security at this time to stabilize the economy , but nothing is happening.
Just talking of presidential fleets , costal road to nowhere vp's quarters and irrelevant projections. it is indeed a very pathetic and hopeless situation.

imam07:
is happening in your village too every minutes just dat your region dey cover up crimes of your brothers. Here we go expose those who do it. That is why u people can see it on media. South west here we live close to each other so is hard to commit crime and not be caught. Unlike the east that house are far away from each other. Rituals happening everywhere where so keep quiet like as if d same is not happening in your region

There is something called territorial division of labour. The South East is into drugs, counterfeiting and 419.
The North is into banditry, book Haram, religious fanaticism and killings.
South West is not dragging Skull mining, rituals , local 419 and swindling with anybody.

Wallade:
The Palestinians have been oppressed, harassed, humiliated, despised and discriminated by Israel for long.

The psychology and mentality of the average Palestinians has become toxic and wired against Israel due to the treatment over the years. The Palestinians have made mistakes and attacked a superior power in the person of Israel and they have been decimated. However, the mentality of hatred, anger and elimination towards Israel remains with them and perhaps will be transferred to future and younger generation.

This is not good for peace, league of nations
and international community. Someone or some people has/have to stop this killings and destruction of lives and properties.

The war between Israelites and Palestinians must be stopped with sustainable peace in focus. How?

The solution is an independent Palestinian nation as we have an independent Israel nation. The respect of international laws, ethics and understanding between the both nations in their relationship with themselves and other nations in the world.

You don't know the history of that region well. You said that Israel were the ones harassing the Palestinians.
The Palestinians occupied that land before the present Israel were resettled there from all over Europe in 1948. The Palestinians resisted the resettlement till this day. They started the war against Israel from the first day the first set of people landed.
The attack of 7 October by Hamas was not a mistake as you claim. it has been happening since 1948 and Israel always reacted they way they are doing now.
The Christians do not think that there will be an end to it or peace between them because the Bible prophecize these their hatred for each other.

RandomFellow:
I'm not a Tinubu supporter, but NLC are so unrealistic with their demands! Are they aware that increasing the minimum wage actually means increasing the salaries of everyone employed by the government? Where do they expect the federal government or even state governors to get such funds? Imagine the cleaner earning 30 is now earning 250k; what do you expect a supervisor earning 80k to start earning? 300k? Now, what will a deputy director earn? 500k?750? Director? Perm sec? Where will Naija get such kind of money to pay people that will still expect tips for them to do their jobs? Abeg make NLC go sidon🙄🙄🙄

Your statement and questions are baseless. Is Tinubu the first person to rule Nigeria?Or is it the first time you are hearing of minimum wage. The people follows their leader with the style he brings up. Since Tinubu choose to be reckless, everything other things will be reckless as well. Was Tinubu realistic when he started removing subsidy and floating Naira when he has not even taking the seat?
He has continued like that, his body language and actions so far showed that he does not care about the people. And you want Labour to be realistic?
Let Tinubu be realistic first. Even the countrys at war are not like Nigeria is now. So stop blaming the Labour union.

flokii:
Doyin Okupe wouldn't have done anything different.

Buhari removed fuel subsidy before handing over to PBAT.. subsidy paymemt wasn't in the budget for 2023 when Tinubu came in. The sore losers blaming PBAT over subsidy removal, especially those Northerners going on TV programs are only playing petty politics. PBAT being the smart politician that he is decided to echo "No more subsidy" in his swearing in speech to send clear message to those who might want to lobby for subsidy to be reintoduced for their own selfish gains.

Soon Nigerians will appreciate PBAT when some of our refineries become fully functional and we won't have to rely on import of petroleum products again.

With PBAT's drive in infrastructure and accountability in the solid minerals sector, Nigerians will soon start rejoicing. Those who know the man's brilliance when he was Lagos State Governor are at peace knowing Nigeria is in capable hands.

Man why do you keep defending nonsense? It still what the analogy is saying. Keep on driving infrastructure until you and the infrastructure will sink into the bottom, nonsense.

Wallade:
Newsflash, it is not up to Israel to decide the destiny of the Palestinians with respect to becoming a nation in the world.

It is up to the league of nations, the will eventually be a Palestine nation.

Mark my words today.

You and Israelites can fight it but you will not succeed.

The Palestinians missed it in 1948. At that point, UN proposed the two states solutions and even allocate a larger part of Jerusalem to them. They refused thinking that their Arab brothers would help them to flush out Israel. That did not happen. Israel turned the table against. As of today, they have been completely pushed out of Jerusalem.
They just exist in Gaza and some scattered settlement outside Jerusalem. Is that where they will form the State of Palestine. As far as America retain their veto power , there will be no state for the Palestinians. The Bible prophecize all these some 3000 years ago. Israel are God's people, no nation mess with them.

Wallade:
Just tell me how I am fooling myself and I want you to make sense since I don't make sense on the thread.

I am waiting to hear you ohhhhhh

Israel cannot allow Palestinians to be an independent state because they are terrorists. Their sole aim is to exterminate the Jews so get that clear. Your enemy is not your friend.
Now, you're talking of women and children. When Hamas and Hezebolla threw 1000 mlssels overnight to Israel, did they consider women and children?
So why do you want Israel to now consider women and children.
Note that in war every thing is fair and square. Tell Hamas not to start what they cannot finish.

bigpicture001:
There is a mix of everything...anger, appeal, history and arroagance and I love it

Expository!

The speech is faultless and a testimony that the Jews produce geniuses.

*A BREATHTAKING SPEECH BY ISRAEL'S REPRESENTATIVE, MIRIAM NOVAK AT THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.*

*Don't Miss A Word!*

For two thousand years we have lived among you, offering you our knowledge, discoveries and inventions.

At the UN Special General Assembly in New York, held at the request of the leaders of the European Union and the New Arab Bloc, the representative of Israel, Miriam Novak, spoke.

Standing at the podium, in front of the green marble wall of the main UN hall, Miriam Novak said into the microphone:

"Ladies and gentlemen! As you know, eighty years ago, Europe, led by Germany, carried out an ethnic purge: it exterminated almost all the Jews who lived there. French, Belgians, Dutch, Norwegians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians – all helped the fascists.

You killed at least six million Jews, including newborn babies. Each of them could have given the world children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so you can multiply the number of killed by four or five...

And now, when we are again plundered, beaten and killed in all your countries, and your courts release the murderers, you tell us that we have no right to defend ourselves?

We have no right to warn our enemies that we will respond to a new ethnic cleansing with an even more powerful strike?

Perhaps you can name another nation whose extermination is so fanatically sought by your new Iranian-led international community? And why?

For two thousand years, we have lived among you, offering you our knowledge, discoveries and inventions.

We have given you the alphabet, the Bible, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, the twelve apostles, Spinoza, Disraeli, Columbus, Newton, Nostradamus, Heine, Mendelssohn, Einstein, Singer, Eisenstein, Freud, Landau, Gershwin, Offenbach, Rubinstein, Saint-Saëns, Kafka, Lombroso, Montaigne, Mahler, Marcel Marceau, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Yehudi Menuhin, Stefan Zweig, Arthur Miller, Maya Plisetskaya, Stanley Kubrick, Irving Berlin, Edward Teller, Lion Feuchtwanger, Paul Newman, Robert Oppenheimer, Benny Goodman, Eugène Ionesco, Imre Kálmán, Marcel Proust, Marc Chagall, Barbra Streisand, Claude Lelouch, Steven Spielberg, Anouk Aimée, Leonard Bernstein, Norbert Wiener, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Andrew Lloyd Webber and thousands of other scientists and educators.

Imagine how many such geniuses could have been born from the millions of Jews killed by you, and then from their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!

But these unborn geniuses disappeared forever in crematoriums, burned synagogues, and mass graves.

So do you really think that your resolutions, boycotts and sanctions can bring us back to the gas chambers?

No, ladies and gentlemen! Having lived among you for two thousand years, we have had to adapt to you and learn not only your languages, but also some aspects of your psychology.

Otherwise, how would we have survived in Persia without Persian perfidy? In Spain without the Spanish cruelty? In Germany without German submission to discipline? In France without French avarice? In Poland without Polish vanity, and in Russia without the oaths and the Russian habit of court latrines, where one must squat and talk about one's spiritual greatness? — (Laughter in the room.)

"And that is why I will tell you frankly: yes, we are not angels. Among us there have been international crooks and gangsters, Lansky, Medoff and Epstein, thieves, looters, adventurers and even pedophiles.

But in all our common history, there has never been a Jewish Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. There have never been Jewish Josef Mengele and Erik Koch, Jewish Adolf Eichmann and Idi Amin, Jewish Andrei Chikatilo and Li Zicheng, Jewish Jeffrey Dahmer and Jean Bokassa, Jewish Fritz Haarmann and Ted Bundy, Jewish Nikolai Dzhumagaliev and Albert Fish.

We have never made necklaces with human ears, never scalped, never eaten human flesh, never made soap with human fat, never made lampshades with human skin, never made mattresses with women's hair, never burned people in religious temples, and never killed children in gas chambers. Instead, we created things that changed the world for the better.

Drip irrigation, seawater desalination, Intel processors and Centrino and Core Duo platforms, the world's smallest DNA computer and the world's first USB flash drive, nanowire and camera pill, multiple sclerosis drug and exoskeleton, Google Glass for the blind and baby breathing monitor, The radar that can see through walls, the holographic reality artificial intelligence synthesizer, and hundreds of other wonderful things.

Representing only 0.2% of the world's population, we have given the world 32% of the Nobel Prize winners. Yes, I forgot to tell you: we have never consumed and do not consume the blood of Christian infants to make matzah. Already in 1913, three Orthodox experts on Judaism proved this at the famous Beilis trial in Kiev.

In 1962, the Second Vatican Council lifted our guilt for the crucifixion of Christ, and in 2011, Pope Benedict XVI declared that "the Christian cannot be anti-Semitic, we have the same roots."

In 2019, his successor, Pope Francis I, said that "every Christian has a Jew in him" and that "one cannot be a true Christian without acknowledging one's Jewish roots."

In addition, the head of the global Catholic Church said that "the covenant between God and Jews continues to apply" and "that anti-Semitism includes not only attacks on Jews, but also criticism of Israel."

Finally, in June 2020, the Rev. John Hagee, the leader of American Evangelical Christians, published his "Appeal to the World," in which he said simply and clearly, "Why do we, eight million patriotic American Christians, support Israel? Because God is on Israel's side! If a Christian says he doesn't like Jews, then his false Christianity is very dubious. God says, "I will bless those who bless Israel! I will curse those who curse Israel!"

And now I want to ask the European delegates in this room: who do you think you are? Are you Christians or not? When you pray to Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the holy apostles, are you not praying to the Jews? And when you say that you carry the image of Christ in your heart, do you not admit that you carry a Jew in your soul?

Even if you are a hard-core atheist, your ancestors were Christians for two thousand years, and therefore, Judaism is in your blood – whether you like it or not!

So, ladies and gentlemen. If you insist on the international boycott of Israel because you continue to hate Jews and want the total extermination of Jews on earth, then be consistent – start with yourselves, do seppuku! It will be an honest ethnic purge.

And now, as we say here in America, I have news for you. Now, after the Christians, it is the turn of the Muslims to get rid of anti-Semitism.

Yes, it won't be easy, but just as the Almighty helped humanity get rid of the bubonic plague, anthrax, cholera, and coronavirus, He will help you get rid of anti-Semitism.

You ask: why? Why has the Almighty brought us back to Israel and forced you to give up your desire to destroy us? For He has to have a purpose, doesn't He?

I will give you my personal opinion. For according to His purpose, every nation is to bring to mankind what it does best.

The French - cooks and perfumers.

The English and the Russians - writers and poets.

Italians - artists and musicians.

The Germans - soldiers and philosophers.

And we Jews - geniuses.

Geniuses who, in all fields, are advancing humanity from barbarism and idolatry to culture, humanism and technical progress. This is our mission, which we have been accomplishing for two thousand years, despite everything!

So whether we have genetic, torsional, nuclear, tectonic, cosmic, or other defense weapons, that's none of your business! Whether you allow us to have defensive weapons or not, we don't care.

As one of the founders of our state, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, once said: "Whether you like us or not, we don't care, we arrived before you and we will leave after you."

gozmok1:
Last two years people were applauding and cheering these monsters when they were dismantling checkpoints, killing security men and other law enforcement agents. I kept shouting and telling our people, Ndígbo that a time will come when the chickens will come home to roost. When they no longer see police and army to kill, they'll kill us. Now is happening. Police and Army have retired to their barracks. They rarely patrol. That's why all sort of criminals are now on the lose in the South East.

Ndígbo should stop being hypocrites. We are hypocrites. When Army is ready to flush these nihilist people out, our people will start crying fowl saying that the military is killing our children. Whenever the military invade IPOB den, you'll see Ndígbo telling the Army to locate Boko Haram and leave IPOB alone. Are we not hypocrites?

I don't care what anyone would say about me. But you see truth? That's something I can never cover up. In the words of Immanuel Kant, "if the truth hurts them, let them die." I'll keep telling our people, Ndígbo the truth. I'll say the truth even at the point of death.

Mr. man you are very wrong. You people always generalized a person's opinion as the opinions of the whole tribe or state.
Your so called applauding or cheering by some persons has nothing to do with the Igbos.
Deviant individuals and protest groups are in every society. It is the duty of the government to control. Individuals have no power over them. Stop making excuses.

Godfullsam:
Tinubu

Atiku &

Obi .
None of these 3 can fix Nigeria. Don't be deceived.

Man forget that, Nigeria is very easy to fix. I mean within six months.

The difference in the two speeches are clear.
One is clear, concise, direct and with calls for actions.
The other is unclear, long, hopeless, Al content and uninspiring.
If it is not Panadol, it is not the same as Panadol. You cannot give what you don't have.
Charismatic and transformational leadership skills cannot be bought, it is either in you or not. You cannot claim.

Disconnected as usual.
This is not what Nigerians want to hear.
Nigerians want to hear how and when this war situation will end.
Any speech that does not answer these questions are just waste of time and effort.
This AI generated speech is a wasted effort.

Yeah, that's it.
The people who collects and care for such ladies and their babies in the South East are victimized and erroneously called baby factory by the Press without any investigation.
Why should we be worried?

You nailed it. They thought that they can do what they did to GEJ to Obi.
But for one shot, obedients always give them a 1000. Now they restort to calling Igbos and Obedients as the toxic ones forgetting what they did to GEJ.

If the ref said that it was a penalty, then it is. No other opinions are needed for whatever happened on the pitch.
I am highly disappointed that professional players still walk out on the match.
This has drawn Nigerian football 1000 steps backwards.
