Awon omo rada rada..


Tell them to use the same energy or embrace the same ideology to protest against the rampant killing by unknown gun men.( l mean ipob terrorists )..so that investors can come to southeast .


A deserted region ..

If they protest you will say they want to burn Lagos.
Now they refuse to protest and you are still angry

What do you really want sef?

BigDawsNet:
The Eastern are not joining the protest?

The west and the North will protest

Eventually if prices of market and fuel comes down... make Eastern region no forget say dey will also enjoy the benefits

The east has protested already. They protested with their votes during the last election.

Let the Hausa and yorubas who voted the dullard go and protest.

We go dey give una moral support from home

sIfioksq:
Na wa o! This one no fit be the solution. Instead of burning down headquarters, why not channel that energy into constructive dialogue? APC dey try, but the hunger wey dey affect everywhere need collective effort to solve. Make we no lose sight of the bigger picture.

The only problem is that APC has no bigger picture anywhere.

All Tinubu knows is to tax citizens to death - same thing he did in Lagos for 8 years

goslowgoslow:
Oponu I told you that I won't respond again to a ghetto brought up and a dumbass like you.... continue with your lack of comprehension and animalistic attitude...Yes I am Mr I live in America! If he pain you go and die!
Ewu!

Yet you responded twice on the same thread. We are both in US if you reply 10 times I will fire back 20 times.

I don't suffer fools gladly

goslowgoslow:
Awon eyan eran oko Trump...awon aja igboro...oponu oloriburuku omo ale!

Agbaya Mr I live in the US
As old as you are you don't know the difference between organic crowd and genuine protesters.

Take your L and move on

goslowgoslow:
You are complete fool, a dumbass and an animal. You are ghetto and it is very obvious from your response.
To start with I never insulted you but you started insulting me, that shows how ghetto and illiterate you are.
Those facts you are talking about democrats pull them out yourself and paste them here or keep your ghetto life to yourself.
I don't give a damn about you or whatever you live. The idiot is asking me how long I have been living in the US lmao 😂🤣 okay this is my 27 years here and I live in Texas. If you want my number I will post it here, I don't care!
I never said political parties don't rent crowds what asked is for you to prove that democrats did it, initially you said democrats now it is all political parties, confused fellow. Mr Google!
Millions of Americans are out to there, they cannot work because of bad records but here is an idiot like you routing for a convicted felon to rule America. Shameless set of people...all of you will be disgraced come November. You ghetto raised fool!

You are clearly frustrated because you cannot refute one single fact I dropped here. I even gave you a sample URL to cure your prideful ignorance.

You are so ignorant and proud at thesame time - two terrible and destructive combinations to have in one single individual.

Next time come with open mind and don't address people you know nothing about with condescending tone.

And for the upteenth time get it into your thick olodo skull - there are hundreds of organizations in this US that offer services of paid protest/advocacy to political parties, rights organisations and pressure groups. And yes it's good business and they get patronage from political parties including the Democrat party. To argue otherwise after the evidence I've provided here make you very stupid, unable or unwilling to learn new information.

I will not apologize for saying the truth. Congratulations for disgracing you and your entire generation online Mr "I live in America" 🤣🤣🤣😜


So after hitting you repeatedly with facts that you can't deny, you finally agree that political parties rent crowd but you want me to prove to you that democratic party rent crowds as well 🤣🤣🤣

This nonsense reasoning is why dems will never win Texas in 100 years. Shout-out to Greg Abot the nemesis of sleepy Joe and kackling kamala

Awon eyan Beto Orouke
Ode!

victorDanladi:
No protest is happening in Igbo land.


They are all on social media cheering other people and their people in other states on while they kept there own region calm.


YORUBAS are big FOOLS!....BIG ONE!

What do you really want sef?

You people said that Igbos are the ones sponsoring protests. Igbo people said they are not interested in protest because they already protested by not voting for Tinubu during election.

Today every other region is protesting except Igbos who truly kept their word.

And now you are angry that they are not protesting. What exactly do you want?

Chinkoalhaji34:
E be like say dem no sabi say protest no dey solve anything.

All this wahala go just turn to another level of hardship, na so e dey always be.

Wetin go change? Nothing! Instead of protest, make we dey find solution wey go fit help everybody.

Oyo residents need to focus on how to survive this tough time, not join for protest wey no go carry dem anywhere.

Yet Tinubu and Buhari protested every month before 2015 election. If you think that the protest will achieve nothing then don't join. Let those who are protesting do it in peace

goslowgoslow:
I called your comment stupid not you right?....You are a complete animal! And you must be is in sane!....You dey live here?
How do you know that Democrats or even Republicans use or used that?
Because such a thing exist you just jump into conclusions. Educated illiterate!..
Dumb that doesn't even follow the news, the opinion polls that shows Kamala in the lead especially in battle ground states are also by rented crowd abi?
Prove to me that Democrats use that from time to time like you said. If you can't STFUP!
What do you understand about America from your village? I would have ignore your stupidity like the other guy did.

Again you are so stupid that you assume I don't live in US.

You have alot of wrong assumption which tells me how you think

Educate yourself. A simple Google search would have prevented you from displaying crass ignorance on the internet

When did you get to US and what city do you live in?? Yes democrats use paid protesters and it's a fact that I know. You can requests for their campaign finance spendings and you will see it there. All political parties, pressure groups, activists etc patronise these paid protesters and in fact this election season is their busiest. Facts have no respect for your emotions

trutharena:
This is a great initiative by the FG to make rice more accessible for the masses!

Ode how many bags did you buy?

goslowgoslow:
What a foolish comment.

You are stupid and naive if you think that every protest you see on TV is organic

There are hundreds of such organizations in the US that rent crowds to show up with placards at any event/rally/protest for a fee. The URL below is just one of hundreds
https://crowdsondemand.com/

You should educate yourself before taking jabs at what you don't understand

1stGenAmerican:
I wouldn’t waste my time believing or doing such foolishness.

Your believing it or not doesn't change the truth.

There are paid career protesters everywhere in the world especially in the US. Politicians engage them to protest on climate change, political issues, LGBTQ rights abortion etc

Odingo1:
Why not live alone and have peace, do the work by yourself if the person don’t have kids. Is that so hard.

Living alone in Nigeria of today is risky if you are rich

1stGenAmerican:
Lie. When we protest, nothing can stop us. If our protests were sponsored, we’d still be fighting for freedom. Don’t compare Americans to Nigerians, our rights are worth more than a few dollars—we can’t be bought. If the government tried to sell Americans commodities that were donated to the government, all hell would break loose.

Lol Americans have paid professional protesters that the dems use from time to time. I'd be surprised if you didn't know this before today.

Go and read the FBI report on the campus protests that happened recently in support of Hama's. Same with riots from George Floyd protest.

Yes this is campaign season and sponsored protests are everywhere. Next time you want to join a political protest find out from the organizers what they are paying

October 7 was a mistake. I told the stupid people jubilating here that day that Hamas will beg for death when Israel begins their long retaliation.

It's foolish to go pick a fight that can never win

Kobojunkieee:
Please stop right there!! Yahaya Bello's own profile shows that his incompetence in office goes as far back as 2015. Why in the world would you people reelect the same scum if not out of ignorance?

Same with Tinubu. Tinubu's only achievement is tax increase and use of touts to extort money, multiple taxation on market women, installation of iyaloja and all manner of shenanigans just to collect money and settle his cronies.

Tinubu owed teachers salary as governor and fought house of assembly and his deputy...to the extent that he changed deputy governor twice in case you don't know. Area boys were the owners of Lagos until Fashola government brought some normalcy.

So I wonder how old are people who keep shouting tinubu this tinubu that .... Either you are strangers in Lagos or you have selective amnesia

In any case I'm happy because he is doing exactly the same thing in Abuja. It's been increase tax, increase cost of living without anything to show for it. Y'all enjoy and keep defending rubbish.

This is year one. The next 7 years will be interesting to watch. Una go get sense!

Nefort:
I have never seen foreigners in Nigeria protesting about bad governance in their country.

That's because their country leaders have common sense policies unlike your leaders here whose only goal is to make life unbearable for citizens while rubbing it on your faces.

Your president said subsidy is gone which caused a panic and runaway inflation only for him to resume paying more subsidy while citizens buy the same subsidized fuel for x4 of the previous price.

How does that make sense to anybody who is not a paid party hack?

1stGenAmerican:
😀

Sponsored protesters just like Tinubus protesters who are protesting against a planned protest 🤣🤣

EdgeUp:
Cutting your nose to spite your face is dumb! Policies are made based on interests and facts, not emotions.
When you have sufficient leverage, you can choose to flex your muscle.


My point exactly! It is Nigerians that will suffer it (to and from). If there are no more direct flights to the UK, it is Nigerians that will need to pay extra to go to nearby countries to join connecting flights.

You pay for a service and get it. Yet, you say they are not giving you anything. Understand this, British airways DOES NOT need Nigeria to continue to be successful. UAE just lifted the ban on Nigerians after two years of extensive lobbying (begging), companies are leaving your country wilfully and in droves, airlines have suspended travelling the Nigerian route without flinching etc

Nigerians need to understand their current reality and drop the stupid pride and arrogance.

BA is not doing Nigeria a favour sir.

They were charging Nigerians exploitative air fare before air peace stepped in. One of the hallmarks of a strong leader is ability to take difficult decisions. Our currency was stronger than pounds at some points if not for our useless leaders. Do you know that Nigeria sent aid to UK as some point after independence?

Stop looking down on yourself. Respect must be demanded on the international stage. If you are percieve yourself as weak you will be treated as such.

Do you know how much money out people spend in UK every year? UK needs Nigeria as much as Nigeria need UK

Georgry:


During the campaign period last year anybody who dare to oppose Mr Peter Obi on any issue is quickly aggressively attacked by the Obidient mob, in fact they gave no body the right to make their own choice or ask questions of a man who was governor for 8 years, they just want you to join the moving train or you're gonna be canceled, he's been portrayed as a very clean, not corrupt and a messiah, when you dare ask about his past they just attack you and tag you an enemy of Nigeria, the Image they gave him doesn't suit any of the Nigerian politicians, dissent isn't allowed in their dictionary and to be very honest with you guys, if Peter Obi had won nobody will have the right to protest in Nigeria.

Just replace Peter obi with Tinubu and this your write-up will be 100% correct.

I love how time reveals all things. Tinubu has spent one year now everywhere scatter people no fit chop

successmatters:
There is nothing like protest peacefully in a country without security like Nigeria.

For one, the hungry people who have criminal intents will use the protest as opportunity to loot peoples businesses, Rob, kill, kidnap and rape. It might just turn to an exhibition of crime.

Secondly the rulers may throw in some paid thugs to attack the protesters, and it will turn to a fight, there are just too many likely outcomes that may escalate into big fights, retaliation and revenge killings.

Thirdly, what are Ijaws aiming to achieve as a people with the protest? Nothing. If they are hungry, will th3 government feed them or pay them money to feed themselves till the next 8 years?

Think

Think

Think

Don't allow yourself to be used by the devil for free.

To all of you saying that people should not protest I ask you what is the option?

Have people not complained enough? Did the government listen? Timubu removed subsidy from inauguration ground without any plan and his stupid supporter have been defending every wrong policy. You think Nigerians will keep quiet forever?

Nigerians are patient and long-suffering else this protest should have started from Tinunus inauguration day.

What is the option for an insensitive government that is telling people to endure hardship but keep feeding fat and looting the treasury and rubbing it in the citizens face?

EdgeUp:
Granted that the EFCC has more serious matters to look into like probing NNPC, tracking evil politicians, investigating all the transactions Emefiele had with Dangote etc... The law is still the law and EFCC are doing what the law has asked them to do. DO NOT deface our national symbols for fun

As for the dollarization of the economy, a law should be made to limit the amount of dollars (fx) any individual or company can hold in cash within the country. For example, if you are caught with any amount above say $100, you will be charged for money laundering and be made to forfeit thrice the amount in question with $1000 as the minimum fine (whichever is larger)


Everybody! As long as there is evidence

You know nothing John snow. Who types like this FGS. You will be worse than Tinubu if you become president. Shior

CyrusVI:
Didn't turn violent cause it took place mainly in the SW and the saboteurs couldn't do much

Plus, the protest had elites and highly ranked personalities who are peace-loving and sane

To put this in a better context, it had almost none-Eastern person at the forefront, the last that had one, EndSars, ended in turmoil

This is the most popular stupid take that stupid people have continued to propagate on nairaland. Endsars was not eastern or Western. Endsars started peacefully for 3 days until Lagos state government brought matchet and stock wielding tours in BRT busses to beat up protesters . We have the videos and pictures. After beating up protesters they faced the police and killed many of them then they started looting from street to street.

This lie has been told too many time despite videos available online. Does that narrative even make sense to you?

2012 occupy Nigeria protest was peaceful because Jonathan did not allow police and military to shoot protesters. Your lord and saviour is already threatening fire and brimstone just because youths want to protest.

How the protest turn out will be determined by how government handle it. If they start by shooting unarmed protesters it will just make the youths more angry.

Tinubu should be addressing Nigeria's and apologizing for the hardships that his clueless policies is inflicting on citizens instead of using police and military and tout to threaten them.

Keep supporting rubbish e go soon clear for your eye

Small nyash dey shake o

Keyamo, if you give British Airways Ilorin as you've suggested, it is still Nigerians that will suffer it.
Virtually all the states fly to Lagos but not all states fly to Ilorin. Put in another way, all airlines fly to Lagos (sometimes multiple times a day) but, not all airlines fly to Ilorin (for connecting flights) and terminal destination.


First, it is a travesty for you to compare British Airways (and its OneWorld alliance) with Airpeace and its leased planes.
Second, what other options are available?
Lastly, I stand by my initial position - Nigerians will suffer it more.

Can you compare the number of Nigerians seeking to travel to the UK against the number of Britons seeking to visit Nigeria?

Yes let Nigerians suffer it. I will also expel some of their diplomats if they don't yield. We behave like weaklings that is why we are not respected anywhere in the world

WeirdAlien:
Last I confirmed somewhere in the north was 7k for a big tuber.



First, you've forgotten how many villagers were killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Benue state - mainly yam farmers. Yam supply has greatly reduced.
Then you forgot how many farmers in northern Nigeria have to pay bandits millions of naira before planting and harvesting. Cost of yam (food) production in those places are in all-time high.
You also forgot the sudden rise in food transportation costs because of fuel subsidy removal.
Now you forget that those farmers would also buy other stuff from the same markets as other people, where inflation has increased all prices. Won't they survive??

If you're indeed a farmer, you would know these things.

Boss you have time to reply to so called "nairaland farmer"

APC supporters no get sense

Tjra:
No panic. Governments especially LASG is just worried about infiltrators.


Meanwhile

Lagos is the commercial nerve center of Nigeria and it will affect the government more if it is held here especially if we use alaba international market as the center of the protest, since Alaba is where the government gets huge taxes to finance Lagos.

From a protester

Was Lagos not the commercial centre when Tinubu and Buhari organized occupy Nigeria protest?

mach7:
What is oga JD saying?

I seriously get worried when some of our elders speak and says things that are outrightly false.

What wasn't bad under the military? Cost of living, economy? Security? I mean some of us are not kids or teenagers that you can twist history and deceive. Can he have freedom to speak under the military the way he speaks now? The way he constantly throw shades against the president and even before he became president?

Things are tough, that is very much true and constructive criticism of government is needed to keep the government on its toes. But what he is saying is wrong, fallacious and condemnable.

Comments like these are what sets some of out youths on edge, especially those who didn't experience the military. Is he alluding that going back to the military is better?

If not for emotional sentiments and the fact that our system of governance and accountability is just lacking, for such comments, he should be politely invited to explain himself.

But alas, he is an elite and the people he is talking about are people of his elitist class. So wetin be my own.

Chief I don't know which military regime was worse than what we are experiencing right now.

I'm ready to debate this with fact and figure. Just mention one military regime and let us compare.
Even abacha was better in terms of inflation, food price, foreign exchange and economy. Was there any military government where cost of living increased by over 400% in less than 9 months. Mention it please.

Make Una dey fear God na

Difrent:
You read me wrong

My concern is that the protest don't turn violent but if it does ,people like you should be bold enough to take responsibility.
Then after 10 days of protesting peacefully, everyone will go bank home and await the results of policies of the government.

If you and your sponsors think this protest will lead to change of government, then you are living in fools paradise

My previous comment was very clear. I am responsible for what I type. You are responsible for what you understand.

The purpose of Protest is to register citizens displeasure with government policies. Tinubu protested and Jonathan reduced fuel price -that was a win for ACN back in the day. I wonder why APC and their supporters suddenly think that protest is a bad thing. You telling the people not to protest is placing a gag on them.

First you call me chinedu and I told you I'm as Yoruba as they come and I will support citizens right to protest PEACEFULLY irrespective of who I voted for in the last election.

The security agencies will do their job unless if you also don't trust the security agencies under your darlings Tinubu government.

Let the people have their say!

Difrent:
Shame on you
The ENDSARS protesters that looted other peoples businesses are saints abi
I no blame you , will you say this if all your life investments went up in flames and you are not even apolitical
He should bear it as sacrifice abi?
So why isn't the deaths of ENDSARS protesters a sacrifice that its me a private citizen that should sacrifice for governments ineptitude.

Una dey think say na everybody no get sense like una

I like people who have enough IQ to stay on topic.
The protest will hold and it will be peaceful. That is my submission. Police and other security agencies will maintain law and order but citizens will express their right to peaceful protest.

You sound like you desperately want violence so that you can tell everyone "I said so"
You and your panic crew should rest. I believe the security agencies have learnt from endsars and they will ensure order

Difrent:
Shinedu is shifting the goal post again o

Is it only northerners now?

Shameless HYPOCRITE

I am not chinedu....again this shows you are a tribal bigot. I am Yoruba if you care to know. It is not all yorubas that are blind supporters of government inflicted hardship.

The military killed endsars protesters and denied it. If they have guts let them attempt the same thing in the North

IdeasYapayaski:
I am Yoruba, to be candid, Tinubu style of leadership will reduce Nigeria's population by untimely death borne out of hardship and frustration if he is allowed to continue unchecked.

Buhari removed the subsidy and handed government over to you and without checking the books, you said and subsidy is gone when you were sworn in. And as a leader, you could see that the ripples effect of the subsidy removal is destroying the economy and lives of your own people, and you're adamant!

The President acts like he doesn't care! Instead he is rolling out palliatives that he know in his heart will not get to the people, and for how long can he do that? Will the cost of palliatives not surpass the amount expended on subsidy in the long run?

What about foreign exchange rate? What moved it from N700 to N1,600? And you're asking investors to come in? Is like setting your House on fire and at the same asking people to let it for their business.

Food prices have so much sky rocketed that most families cannot afford to eat twice a day and you're still asking them to endure while you and your cabinet expend on private jet, bullet proof cars, and buying houses in Canada. And you know that the current situation of our country as at this time requires management of resources due to our debts portfolio.

To make matters worse, you are dragging leg on banning open grazing, and the herdsmen are recklessly entering into peoples farm at a dying time like this to still eat and destroy peoples farms! Is this a time for such nonsense?!

So in the best interest of this country,

1. Reduce the price of fuel to N300 per liter and the price of everything will automatically go down

2. Institutionalize and relaunch SURE-P Program (That program can industrialize Nigeria)

3. Ban open grazing, hang any herder that kills a farmer. Sentence any herder that graze on peoples farm to 21 years in prison. Enact the law!

4. Fence our porous borders ( Trump wasn't stupid with his border fencing program he was trying to protect the life of Americans and visitors)

5. Reduce loan interest rate to one digit. Anything above 9% is not encouraging.

Purely My Honest Opinion.

God bless you. I'm proud to have a Yoruba brother that is not infected with blind support for Tinubu.

Your comments are spot on!
