Odin13:oh that is a shocker, I was expecting your usual gibberish about Yoruba this, Yoruba that. ![]() Seems you have been overwhelmed with logic which is a rarity for you because you hardly understand logic ![]() |
RoyalUc:Yes and the prices of Petrol was reduced back then. Purely political but the goals was achievable Please can you list the demands from the August protest and tell me which is achievable? |
RoyalUc:No union will join the protest. How do hell do you want to reach the government? The demands are silly and not achievable Have you read the demands of the so called protest? |
Odin13:Total gibberish as usual, you never disappoint. ![]() Ok let me explain to you in simple terms; This thread is about indigenous people preference to vote for an Edo lady(a stranger) who respects their culture over a supposed indigenous person who despise his own culture. Hope that helped ![]() |
RoyalUc:The protest was largely peaceful and coordinated with unions to have a meaning. The goal was to bring the prices of crude oil down temporarily, which was achieved. Whereas we saw how Endsars didn't end even when government ended SARS. You can always protest in your region, we don't support disorganized protest in the South West. |
Odin13:So @ emboldened is not a bigoted statement. So Yorubas was written on those hanging outside? |
Odin13:Toyin Abraham is from Edo state. My "non bigoted" friend. |
RoyalUc:Was it outside the South west region or Abuja? Was it in Kano, Kogi or Enugu? |
babasolution:if you are willing to research, you will get adequate information. |
babasolution:You are the one that shouldn't allow your obvious prejudice towards Yorubas to cloud your judgment and research. We learn everyday and I have taught you something about Lagos state today. |
babasolution:You have no idea of what you talking about. Everyone knows Apapa town founded by Oyos. The indigenous people of the Area are aware. |
babasolution:OYO used port in Ajase, Port Novo in Benin Republic and Apapa in Lagos https://tankterminals.com/news/the-story-of-the-amazing-apara-oshodi-oworonshoki-ojota-expressway/
|
babasolution:You are the one that needs to read more about Lagos sir.. Even Bini had a port for trading in lagos and Oyo also had a port for trading in Lagos. |
Beremx:Yes, I thought you will just type other words condemning Tinubu on a thread that has nothing to do with him. |
babasolution:Lagos was not viable but it's one of few cities or state in Nigeria that Adopted a name European traders gave to it. Lagos has been viable since before the beginning of slave trade long before the British thought of coming to Africa.. |
Beremx:Really? Is this thread about Tinubu, Open boders or the corruption in Kogi state? Why do they have local elections to pick Governors or State legislature in the state when the president will still be blamed for their inability to deliver good governance in Kogi state? In case you are not aware, the diversion of public funds or material things meant to develop kogi state is the fault of local elected officials in Kogi state. |
Beremx:Is there an Agency meant to safeguard Nigeria against corrupt practice? Isn't that the responsibility of the citizens to report to such Agency? Or why do we have State and Local elected officials when only the president is responsible for everything in the country? |
babasolution:Lagos was separate from South and Northern regions Lagos colony was later joined with Southern Nigeria in 1906 or so. Lagos had been a business district for nearly 200 years before it was joined with Southern Nigeria. However, under the military the other parts of Lagos was forcefully made Lagos like Ikeja business district etc.. Nonetheless, Lagos is not the capital of Nigeria anymore, Focus on Abuja.. |
babasolution:He donated his money to his political party. See you not being a tribal bigot. |
Any tribe can decide to sulk just because people pointed out the hypocrisy of protesting in Lagos state to end SARS in 2021. The total hold up of economic activities in Lagos by so called protesters. The destruction of Lagos infrastructure Yet, Lagos state government had no capacity to End SARS. Abuja was barely touched throughout the ENDSARS protest. |
Any ethnic group can take their protest to their state of origin. Abi doesn't your state need good governance too Abuja is also there for those wishing to take the protest to the federal government Lagos is no longer the federal capital territory.. Except you can tell me your state is being administered properly. |
Do you realize majority of comments made on this thread didn't condemned the Kogi state government or those in charge of distribution of the palliative Majority of the comments made are simply political/Tribal statements to condemn Tinubu. Anyone wondering what the August protest is all about? |
Occupy Nigeria protest was about the price of petrol. The increment was done in a new year period Labor union and Trade union joined It's different from protest that has no head or tails If protest couldn't have held from last year till when new minimum wage was negotiated, then what exactly is this protest about? |
EmeeNaka:If it's a political protest, why aren't the biggest beneficiaries of a change in political leadership leading the protest? I mean political opposition? Why do they want innocent citizens to do their dirty work for them? |
Cindypresh:Yes and Swat was born doing exactly the same thing. |
EmeeNaka:So it's a political motivated protest? |
Cindypresh:Protest is not protest if it achieved nothing at a very large cost like Endsars. It is pointless. |
ibechris:Alright time will tell. In the next two weeks, if innocent Nigerians die and prices simply go up because of disruption in distribution and production line, then you people urging on a meaningless protest should be considered the most stupid people in Africa.. |
Cindypresh:Please remember that was a protest that was against increase in petroleum prices The protest was immediate and it was joined by both the Labor union and Trade union. This protest is useless and pointless because the labour union already negotiated a new minimum wage just last week. The trade union were also involved in the negotiations. So what exactly is going to be the theme of this protest? Nothing meaningful. |
I said something similar in other thread. Some people who don't know what they want quoted me. The Oyibo man says "you shouldn't try the same thing and expect a different result" During Endsars no labor union or Trade union joined the protest. Hence, Government revenue was not tempered with. The protesters had to result to illegal disruptions to get through to the Government. The government end up treating them like political opposition and came hard on them through various illegal means. Innocent people died Families lost breadwinners Government infrastructure was destroyed Businesses loss millions However, police continue their corrupt practice with impunity, government officials continue to steal public funds etc.. What was achieved?, nothing! |
Protest should happen in places they feel they need it in Nigeria. I understand the current inflation is bad and that can make people want to do irrational things We in the Southwest don't see a need for a protest People will rather not vote Tinubu in the next election if the economy don't turn around by the next election. That's going to be our protest. People from other ethnic groups need to take their protest to their regions not only just Lagos. |
BrodaBenad:What Area view is this? |
