it's federal government project

Where's the FG project in the other states? Did you see the incentives for students? Did you see the arrangement and planning?

Goodvibes007:
And that's Niger State ooo. It's not like oil rich Bayelsa or Delta state.

Imagine. Bayelsa is such a consistent disappointment.

Well done. Is this not a governor? Is Soludo not a governor? Is Sanwo olu not a governor? Where are most of the other governors? Why are they virtually sleeping on the money?

These ones are the ones that really need to be peacefully protested against. The bulk of them are lazy, visionless and selfish. What are they doing, they can't even pay minimum wage?

Better, a stitch in time saves nine. It's better to monitor and control foolish children than start going from one prison to another looking for them there. Money wey you suppose take buy rice for house, you go dey use am for bail.

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children.

Believeintruth:
Like how they use loud speaker to warn a particular tribe not to come out and vote if they are not voting their party
Is it not true?

Who are they? Did your party win or not? Stay in one lane, you can't claim at the same time that you won and that you were not allowed to vote. Choose one lie na.

He should have paid for your mum's life. Too bad Jesus is useIess.

He did, He died for the whole world. He died to give you abundant life.

Some people think it can only be achieved through protest and killing of political enemies.

1. did you waste your time when you said this?


2. if this is the case, why was tinubu advocating for protests and revolution against jonathan?

Your lot can't protest without blocking major roads.
Save Nigeria Group protests in 2010, people marched from Archbishop Vining Ikeja to Alausa, giving space to vehicles going about their businesses.
Ocuupy Nigeria protest was powered and led by intellectuals and intellectualism, not social media hoodlums chasing clouts and claiming we don't have leaders.
Tinubu stood by his protest, organized it and controlled it. Who's going to do that today? Obi lamba is currently suing people or threatening to, hiding behind keypad like the coward he is.
Get something productive doing with your life if you've run out of ideas.

is this a worldwide universal fact?

how did protests destabilize sudan, kenya, libya and bangladesh?

The internet is not down, do your research. i can't waste effort on you.

that is not what I asked you.

Gen Z. It's the same violent behavior here once we don't support their own candidates. They don't understand basic democracy.
Parenting and media have failed this generation.

I understand. its usually like that when you realise you can no longer defend your one sided falsehood.

lexy2014:
is this failure of government not worth protesting over?

https://www.nairaland.com/8163805/bandits-block-abuja-lokoja-road-travelers

No it's not. Your protest doesn't stop insecurity but increases it. Who'll be responsible for all the people that you harass, maim and harm because they don't join your protest? Who's responsible for the economic loss and businesses destroyed and looted in your protest?

Snowx:
Having read what you just written..all I can ask is the motive of defending this clueless government..I can fathome any reason why a sane person should support this administration if not personal interest or useless ethnic sentiment

Because Nigeria is my country, i can't sit back or only pray while political losers drag us back. i cherish Nigeria's peace.

Snowx:
...Fuel price return to its original price of atleast 150naira
... reduce import duty( sea freight)
...Reduce insecurity
...power sector improvement
... food scarcity which the major cause is insecurity
.. stop selective probing by Government
...the worst of it is insecurity

I can count on and on

First, the most of your demands bother on insecurity. A protest will trigger insecurity further and on a nationwide scale. How do we deal with the insecurity caused by your protests, any ideas?
Government already suspended import duties on food, this is better than your demand for reduction.
https://punchng.com/fg-suspends-food-imports-duty-partners-states-on-farming/

Food scarcity does not get solved by protests, they only increase as there will be additional inflation caused by the protests. The federal government has released tons of grains, fetilizer and cash to help with farming. They have decided to open the borders to allow importation of food so that there can be supply and reduced costs. You don't need protests for that. When you sow/plant, you have to wait for harvest, protests don't make harvests come quicker. Go and ask your state government what they are doing to help and your fellow citizens who hoard goods and increase prices to whatever they want when they want.

The power sector has actually improved. In fact, some of us were skeptical at first and saying that it is because of the raining season, but it seems it's actually different this time. Aside that, the FG 2023 Electricity Bill was signed into Law to end federal monopoly in the power sector and empower states and the private sector to generate, distribute and transmit power. It takes years to see changes in that, it's not an akara joint or iceblock business that is been set up. Protests and the vandalism that will follow will only slow down the pace of the work if not scare away intending investors.

i don't understand selected probing and how exactly it helps anybody or needs protests and wanton destruction to achieve.

As for pump price of 150naira per litre. How do you want that to be done? Do you want the marketers to buy it at gun point for free so that it can be sold for 150, or there's a magic word like shouting "Open Sesame" and the price will come down? Help explain the logical possibility of this.

Skye123:
I'm sorry, what do you mean by "it's to be paid from May, April, June and July"

The new salary structure for FG workers starts from April, so they'll be paid in arrears too.

kingxsamz:
Did your deàd mother forget to pay yours?

Lolz, Jesus paid it all. It'll amaze you.

Snowx:
Wao!! The protest is without real motive haha..let your conscience judge you chaa..people are facing serious hardship now compared to that 2012 when they protested for their own personal interest..Pure personal interest..the subsidy they protested against its removal was now claimed to be removed by them which was pure lies..

i know and understand that there is hardship caused by different factors like the removal of fuel subsidy and floatation of the naira.
Okay, in clearer terms, what are your demands, that's what i mean by motives. What do you want or hope to gain from the protest?

lexy2014:

Oh my goodness, i can't waste my time any further.

RepoMan007:
That is because police infiltrated it in their attempt to look invincible.
We saw how drivers in suits drove thugs to protest locations and derailed the endsars protest in Abuja. Ipob or Obi or Obidients behind that also?

So in this new protests, do you guarantee that there will be no repeat of such allegations?

RepoMan007:
has kenya not reversed the evil tax hike?
Bangladesh has suspended the useless veteran job quota. Is SARS active today?

Just say you dont want it because of your selfish political interests.

It seems this one doesn't know what is happening in Kenya and Bangledesh. Get data and find out. Is police and security agency brutality over in Nigeria? Or don't you understand the request/demands of the protest? Do you know what was lost yet?

kingxsamz:
You wish. At least I get mama wey fit run. 😂
Since your mama kpai you don dey cry over other people own. 😜 Sorry, it's not my fault.

Don't make mummy run dear, she's not done running to pay your fees.

Lezzlie:
in your desperate albeit shameless quest to discredit all forms of protest whether they be legitimate, peaceful or not, you're breathlessly trying to discredit what the whole world witnessed when NLC shit down this country for 48 hrs.

Shame is the ability to judge yourself before others do. It's an indicator pointing the standard or lack thereof of one's self cleansing morality.
Bro, shame is conscience
And you don't have any.

i did not deny NLC's strike, like you said we all saw it(they broke down the NA gate which was probably built back using Akpabio and Tinubu's salary ). i said it was senseless and needless.

Nteogwuija:
Lol, so the FG just decided to increase minimum wage out of dust?

Omoh, you people sef.

What is dust? The FG removed fuel subsidy, floated the naira and promised to increase wages, provide "palliatives", CNG, grains for agriculture etc. Almost everything i mentioned have been done or are being done. It's all less than a year ago if you are current with what is happening around you and not just living in the echo chambers of the elction loser followers.

crossbreedwears:
Bros, let's be realistic. What can 70k reallt do for a family of 1 or a single person? And we have a lot of graduates earning below 70k. What the government needs to do is find a way to reduce inflation by 50% then people will smile again. The cost of food stuffs is something else. 70k cannot buy a big of rice. In fact it cannot buy half bag or rice and half bag of beans

70k minimum wage is for a level 1 staff of the FG, which virtually doesn't exist. Most lowest level staff of the FG will be from maybe level 4 which should translate to about 110k basic salary apart from allowances. Graduates are not low level staff. i agree that the government should work on reducing inflation. However, that doesn't just work by a decree, it takes time in a democracy.

RepoMan007:
No, they make the useless leaders who are insensitive to suffering of the masses sit up and act better.

Give 5 examples of such instances, thanks.

Kennitrust:
increase minimum wage for all hungry Nigerian or for civil servants?


Protest, you die
You don't protest, you will still die

So keeeepqwwyitt

You don't have to die, nor do you need to kill others because you are dying if you are so intent on dying.

lexy2014:
what is there to be learnt from sudan, libya, bangladesh and kenya?

That protests don't solve problems, instead, they disstabilize the country.

RepoMan007:
hunger can unify the masses. Keep seeing one section of the country.
The frustration of Buhari will be visited upon Tinubu by buhari people. If it doesnt happen this August, which is time of highest food prices, then it will likely repeat itself next year.

A myrmidon spotted.

Nteogwuija:
But if Labour hadn't gone on strike, tell urself the truth, do you think that increase would have been implemented?

The truth is clear, FG had it in plan. They even budgeted for it and said that they will start it from April. They said they were going for about double of salaries. ALL that has now happened. Everything is not by gragra. Student loan, 30,000 addition that they have been collecting, it was all planned regardless of gragra.

Lezzlie:
FG on its own after consultation increases minimum wage, why then did the NLC and TUC go on strike?

Are you typing from Nigeria or from Gaza?

NLC and TLC went on a useless strike that achieved nothing, fact. The government had promised to increase salaries from the onset, they were the ones that brought up issue of living wage, they were the ones that added 30,000 to salaries on ther own will. i remember in December, they said that minimum wage will start in April. They have done exactly as planned.

https://punchng.com/new-wage-begins-april-fg-votes-n24tn-for-salaries/

All these things happened without protests, violence, looting and loss of lives. That is the point.
