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!

helinues:
Eagles eyes on all of them .

Any gathering of more than 10 people, dispersed them or arrest them.

The missing senses must be located by force

Just like Jonathan arrested Tinubu and buhari for organising occupy Nigeria protest yeah?

Difrent:
And do you see any looting in any of those protests?
But the only protest una do, y'all was ordered to burn down Lagos and you did
So, Neve again

And who told you that there will be looting in a protest that is yet to hold? Did you travel into the future to see it or are you a prophet?

If the police have credible intelligence that protest will be hijacked what is the right thing to do?

Citizens protest are always peaceful. Even endsars protest was peaceful until government mobilised counter protest and paid area boys and tours to beat up legitimate protesters. We have the footage of DSS shipping area boys to central areas in Prado jeeps to beat up peaceful unarmed protesters

Y'all should rest with your negative mindset. I'm happy that those calling for this protest are northerners let the police kill any of them then you will know the real meaning of revolution

NyamiriSlayer:
Shebi nah their region dem one use has protest ground, so nobody cares... We don't care even if they burn their land to ashes

So why are you so afraid of the Igbos protesting in the east?

Image123:
Lolz. Who knows this fellow? Nobody. He probably wants to use protest to become popular and contest in the next elections.
Who goes asking a democratically elected president to scrap the Senate, sack the judiciary, become the judge of all the past presidents (except saint GEJ of course), and increase minimum wage by over 800% while bringing fuel price to 150naira per liter.
You need a brain if you're following such mad people.



FYI: Your emergency darling Dangote, who complained of not getting enough crude oil from FG, is currently selling crude oil. Refinery that is selling crude oil. Be playing there thinking anyone that speaks against FG is here to save you.

Why do you people type like you have 1kb memory? In case you can't remember or you were not yet born, tinubu protested against fuel subsidy removal in 2012 and insisted that fuel price should be 65/litre. He applied and got police protection to stage the "occupy Nigeria" protest which went on for weeks. During this time the economy was x100 better than what we have today by every index

So I find it hard to understand your logic of attacking people who want to protest the current hardship.

If Jonathan was still president today and Tinubu calls for a protest against hardship would you have typed the trash you wrote up there?

Hypocrites!!

Difrent:
We saw your hands of Esau all over the Kenyan protests
It was when President Ruto pointedly accuse Ford foundation of funding the protests that they reduced the tempo.

We dey wait for una for naija

Oga rest and leave Kenya alone.
We are not Kenya let the people protest it is their right. Everything is fucking expensive in a country where politicians loot without conscience.

Why is APC so afraid of protest? The same APC that rode to power on the back of monthly protest against Johnathan!! I don't recall Jonathan using military or police to threaten people back then.

Anybody still supporting this useless government is a fool

SarcasticWords:


Do not protest against the government.

Tinubu is working. Things are changing. Inflation is rapidly disappearing.
,
You people should be thankful.

The job of a president is not an easy one. Let us be patient and allow our president to adjust.

https://ainhypho.sirv.com/TROLL/jaja12.gif

Lol this sounds like pure sarcasm because Tinubu protested against Jonathan

helinues:
They should at least tell us what the Kenya protest they want to do copy copy about achieved

That was their initial narration of why we must protest in Nigeria. So if Kenya protest did not achieve anything, why then do we need to waste our time on a protest that won't achieve any meaningful things

The Kenyan protest achieved a reversal of Ruto antipeople policies - that's a win for the protesters and a loss for politicians.

Tinubu himself led many protests 2012-2014 and the clips are on the internet. What is he afraid of?

santaclaws:
I think Kamala is the best choice for US right now.

I would have loved a Trump presidency, but the fact is that most of his supporters are racists and white supremacists. If not for the idiotic LGBTQ views of some Democrats, the party would have been the best for America. Republicans are too focused on white agenda.

I still remember how Trump opposed Okonjo Iweala's WTO bid despite being an American citizen & the most qualified.

I don't understand this propaganda about Trump being a racist. What informed that view of yours? Is it from verifiable actions or you're just regurgitating what mainstream media said?

Tjra:
Nobody is scared of protest. Not even the President or the peasants on the streets.

All we want is peaceful protests. We know those behind this current one. There are recordings everywhere.

I learnt they've started entering night buses in preparation for their upcoming attacks.

They destroyed Southwest in 2020 and are planning season 2. NEVER AGAIN

Y'all are shutting your pants already

Tell the politicians you voted to reverse their stupid antipeople policies and nobody will think of protesting.

There is hunger in the land in case you don't know. Paint rubber of beans is 12k in a country that is this blessed. Our politicians are so irresponsible and we the citizens who are suffering don't want to tell them the truth.

I'm not even scare of planned protests, police can easily handle that.

What everyone should be scared 9f is unplanned organic protest which is inevitable if things continue to go bad like they've been since Tinubu made the mistake of removing subsidy and floating naira. Those two actions are a mistake but Tinubu and his online supporters are too proud or too ashamed to admit it

AntiChristian:
I hope all these agbayas supporting protests will live to bury their kids from the same protests they support!

So you actually support use of force by government including killing protesters? You should be ashamed of yourself.

How many people did Jonathan kill when this same Tinubu organized monthly protests in 2012

KingOfTheDamned:
But It's like the ibos aren't even interested in this protest? They aren't even talking about or trying to create awareness, even their Influencers are busy advertising goods instead of using their platform to talk about this protest
You all need to understand that What affects this nation affects all of us.
This attitude of ibos behaving a different nothing concerns us with Nigeria mentality is very wrong .

Nigeria has finally divided , and it is so unfortunate. This nation can't grow with this sort of division.

This is sad indeed

Igbos have no business with this protest. They warned Nigerians that Tinubu has nothing to offer and they followed it up by voting for Peter Obi.

Time truly tells. Now everybody eye don clear!

MeghaneMorgane:
Our response to cheating is that the cheated person will leave. We have discussed this. If I cheat, he will leave me and if he cheats, I will leave him. We don’t intend to sleep around to bring the other person to check. That is outside our boundaries.
We communicate a lot. It is when the other person refuses to change that they get the taste of their drug. So that they can understand better your grievances. Because sometimes it is hard for people to understand when they cannot relate. And we don’t do this from a bad place. We do it from a place of I want you to change.

Easy to say until one cheats and the other refuses to leave🤣🤣

Cabalgeneral:
The world beyond will support the first female America president, but with two conditions

The same world that did not support Hilary Clinton who is 10x better than Kamala? This not not a female president sentiment. Democrats have gone too liberal, too far left with their stupid policies on economy, border, regulations, climate change, late term abortion, LGBTQ.....it's crazy

Goodvibes007:
On Nairaland, you will think America loves Trump.
But in the USA which is real life, alot actually hate him lol.

If Nigerians could vote in US elections, Trump would have won before noon on election day.

Even Trump's only one victory to become president was via electoral votes, and not popular vote. Clinton won the popular vote by around 2,000,000.

You don't t understand jack about US politics. Democrats are shitting their pants right now. Kamala is worse than Biden. They might as well just hand trump the White House key tomorrow.

It's done. Democrats will lose and they know it

AmazingELixir:



Handiwork of ipob miscreants....they're now pushing everything to social media to galvanised support for the protest so they can use the opportunity to orchestrate their evil plans of break out the albino Nnamdi kanu from detention.

Why do you people type like you don't have brain?
Supporting Tinubu should not make you senseless na! Haba

The economy was 10x better in 2015 when Bihari and Tinubu were organising protests every month. What exactly is your problem? Allow those who want to protest to do so. It is their right and I'm happy that this is starting from thesame north that you people revere so much

CyrusVI:
Former U.S president Jimmy Carter himself brought the Green Card to our own WS

He's had more personal relationships with more U.S Presidents than u all combined can ever dream

WS has a IQ of over 145point. If u have a diff reasoning to him, I'm scared you are a dullard and that u prolly not smart

Soyinka is wrong on this one. Between trump and Tinubu that he supports who is better?

Everybody want to score a point by bashing trump but the more they bash and attack him the more popular he becomes.

The so-called danger to the world presided over a peaceful world, first president to never start any war, great economy and trade deals, no imposition of homosexuality and climate change nonsense on other countries.

Soyinka is talking rubbish on this one

Biden screwed it all up in less than 4 years!

LGBTQ thing wey una dey worry about no really mean anything to me.

4. Sex with blood relatives

It means a lot to the collective human race.
Life is not about you alone.

They are targeting children even before they reach a mature age to make their own decisions and that's what makes this evil

As a proud Nigerian, I believe that the FG has the best interest of our country at heart and will work towards a better Nigeria.

I pity you and your generation of you think that politicians are thinking about you

Lol. It did not hold me down. It propelled me. I paid off my student loan in one year.

Take the loan, graduate with good grades and get a job.

You are 0.0000001% of people who achieved this and it's probably because you got a high paying job immediately after school.

This is not the reality for most college educated Americans

LordGuru1:
Every wise Person prays for President of his/her Nation. He needs our Prayers so that he would succeed in making Nigeria great.

Lol all the prayers you prayed for past president did it make Nigeria better or worse.

I prefer the Kenyan kind of prayer that brings immediate answer

StreetFight:
You are right from your perspective, but when shall we implement it? We have been in it since Abacha's regime, how long will it take us to plan and prepare for it? Somebody just has to do it, if not the gang of thieves will keep on looking our treasury through Fuel Subsidy and FOREX.

But they are still looting it. So what did Tinubu achieve with all the hardships that he imposed on the nation?

Exousiang01:
CIS in Lekki has become a nightmare.
My kids attended school only monday, tuesday and friday last week. The school just sent a notification on their app saying SUVs have to use the main gate and saloon/sedans go through the Amore road entrance.
Unfortunately the flood is more as a result of climate change and Lagos is sitting on the coast.
Its only going to get worse.
Spending millions on school fee yet the flood wont let them into school.
Moving them back to the UK is might just be best for them now.
Cant be getting calls everyday about flood.
I no wan hear say shit happen

This is not climate change. This Is the result of indescriminate land reclamation along natural water route in the name of development and irresponsibility of government who should provide standard drainage.

I'm sick and tired of people blaming everything on "climate change"

AfeezShomorin:
These people calling for protest like what happened in Kenya think violence is the solution

Protest is not the solution yet Buhari and Tinubu organized protests every month during Jonathan regime.

Don't worry the solution is to keep voting APC. Come next election please collect 2 indomie and satchet omo and vote rubbish again. Na that indomie una go chop for the next 4 years.

I'm not sorry for Nigerians. The hardships is still doing press-up
