Say No to protest protesters currently protesting against protest in Lagos 😂

Funny country.


No Governor is preaching against this kind of protest o.

flokii:
If Igbos are saying there won't be protest in South East.. then Yorubas have every right to say there won't be protest in Lagos and other Yoruba cities.

The era of deceit is over.

Lagos must not be burnt down a second time under guise of protest.

Congrats to Seyi Law

Youths in Lagos state on Monday, July 29, held a counter rally to say “no” to the planned August 1st nationwide protest.

Recall The Nation reported that some Nigerians were planning to protest against economic hardship in the country.

The demonstration, which is gaining traction on social media, has been scheduled to be held across all states of the federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, starting from August 1.

The youths who came from different locations converged on the Lagos Island area of the state to express their support for the Tinubu-led administration, while calling on other youths to “shun violent protest.”

Alluding to the 2020 #EndSARS protest that led to the destruction of property and loss of lives in the state, the youths frowned on its recurrence and would stop it from happening again.

Kushites:
Any ideas please?

I’m sick of going to church and seeing that white man face staring at me.

I don’t believe that God is white and that He has a white son that I’m supposed to worship.

I REFUSE to be brainwashed by the British.

Can any of you guys recommend a good traditional deity to follow, please?

Or if not, a good traditional priest who can direct me accordingly.

Much appreciated.

News have been flying around about Sowore's upcoming protest in August. Most of it have been people cautioning against it and there's also been a warning from the United Nation's Department of Safety and Security about potential HIJACKERS!

I LAUGHED when Tinubu and his allies begged Nigerians to be patient with him.

I was NOT surprised when security agencies, including the Nigerian Military, tried to intimidate the protesters that have not even gathered. Everybody knows the Nigerian Military have a HARD-ON for unarmed civilians.

I was ALL for the protests and waiting for Nigerians to deal with Tinubu and his SHITTY government. I looked forward to the protests. That is UNTIL I saw the list of demands.

If you have not seen the list of demands, look it up! It's a JOKE!

It's very OBVIOUS that a politician wrote it.

It reads like a manifesto for a political campaign. And much like a manifesto, it's completely UNREASONABLE and UNACHIEVABLE and merely meant to stir up the LARGEST number of people.

ANYONE who goes out for the protest and ends up getting shot to death would have died the death of a FOOL!

There is NO unity of direction. ZERO common goal! The demands sound like a list of things a jobless guy would bitch about in a beer parlour.

For context, here's a summary of what Sowore wants YOU to risk your life for:

1. Scrap the ENTIRE Constitution and introduce a new one just like that! Sounds to me like an idiot begging for Military Rule.

2. After scrapping the WHOLE constitution and being in DIRE need of a new one, IMMEDIATELY scrap the Senate, a body that is required to make laws in Nigeria.

Apart from being absolutely STUPID, these 2 points taken together have the potential to CAUSE a level of absolute CHAOS that Nigerians have never seen before.

But Sowore did NOT stop there. No, siree!

3. Pay a minimum wage of #250,000 which is just STUPID considering how devastating the following inflation would be for the Nigerian Economy. It gets even STUPIDER when you realise that the Labour Unions have agreed to a deal of #70,000 to be reviewed every 3 years.

4. Invest heavily in education and give grants and not loans to Nigerian (tertiary) students and aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria.

The 4th demand is the MOST reasonable demand on the list. Especially the second part. But the idea of giving grants, which is essentially FREE money, to 18-year olds to study sociology and mass communication still rubs me the wrong way.

A subsidized education targeted at students in school for courses related to CRITICAL sectors in Nigeria like Healthcare, Agriculture and IT would have been better.

5. Release Nnamdi Kanu, the founder of a TERRORIST organisation. A man who SINGLEHANDEDLY destablised an entire region. A man whose followers continue to impose a sit-at-home curfew on a whole region and MURDER anyone who fails to comply with their weekly lockdowns.

Kanu and his followers brought DOUBT upon the highest office in Nigeria by first claiming that the President was a CLONE and then changing the narrative that the President had been replaced by a body double.

If you think Kanu is not a MENACE that should never be allowed to step foot outside of a prison cell EVER, then you don't understand the extent of damage he can do.

The man successfully convinced HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, perhaps millions, of his followers that Buhari was cloned even though NO human being in history had ever been cloned at that point and even now.

Anything short of Kanu dying in prison would be a FAILURE of the Nigerian government.

6. Renationalise publicly owned enterprises sold to government officials and cronie. Makes sense to take back these institutions from the cronies they were sold to. Shame it got tossed among these demands.

7. Bring back fuel subsidy. This is a joke because despite Tinubu's bold announcement about subsidy removal, his government has paid OVER #8 TRILLION in fuel subsidy.

Sowore is willing to expend people's lives to fight for....NOTHING!

8. PROBE corrupt politicians. This is another joke. Everybody knows there are FEW politicians more corrupt than Tinubu himself. Asking Tinubu to probe corruption is like asking a blind man to help another blind man climb Mount Everest.

9. Restructure Nigeria. A sensible request that got lost in a sea of sheer STUPIDITY.

10. Make security agencies like police and Military stop harassing civilians. Scrap USELESS security agencies and TACKLE insecurity.

This is another sensible demand that is so LOADED it deserves it's own PROTEST. But here it is in faraway number 10.

11. Establish a Special Energy Fund immediately to drive massive, corruption-free power sector development.

Question for CONFUSED Sowore:

Is this before or after taking back the DISCOs from private investors?

12. Immediate Reconstitution of the Nigerian Electoral Body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks appointed to manipulate elections.

Sowore thinks he's sleek by slotting in a MAJORLY selfish goal in number 12. Sounds like dude's trying to form like he lost the Presidential election due to electoral manipulations.

In which case, he's a BIGGER clown than I thought.

Or which election was manipulated?

Nigeria has 20 APC governors, 13 PDP governors, APGA, LP and NNPP have 1 governor each.

Sounds to me the electoral manipulation is DONE by politicians and their parties and not INEC. Sowore needs to equips his party to manipulate elections and stop trying to waste people's lives to harass INEC.

13. Massive investment in public works and industrialisation will help employ Nigeria’s teeming youths.

Concerning that the youths whose lives Sowore wants to risk in his protests rank so LOW on his list of demands.

14. Massive shake-up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of judges and judicial officers that continue denying everyday citizens access to real justice.

Another good point that got lost in a sea of SHITTY demands.

Overall, the protest sounds like an expression of IMPOTENT outrage that is not really meant to achieve anything except maybe raise Sowore's political profile.

It's touching on so MANY subjects it's bound to yield ZERO results. Especially when you consider the fact that some of the demands are downright RIDICULOUS.

Sowore is NOT looking to achieve any viable result. He's just looking to TROLL Tinubu.

As such, it's up to you to decide whether you're willing to get shot and KILLED to achieve nothing in a protest organised by a Nigerian Politician.

Yoruba Muslims will still be dragging Igbos as the organizers 🤣🤣

TopNotchTrends:
VDM, Verydarkblackman has staged his own protest in Abuja. Remember that VDM has been a focal voice, liberating the oppressed and speaking about the ills of the nation irrespective of who is involved.

He has now staged his own protest before the official protest which will be held on August 1 2024. Appearing shirtless and holding a placard which reads "emi lo kan, is it your turn to suffer us...", he voices in displeasure in the current Government without uttering a word.

Well that’s between you and Atiku’s, If the north wants to sacrifice their leaders to please Igbos. Then so be it.
