Too early to celebrate... the seat of power is not evenninnthe south west...don't forget that.

All an ambitious millitary man need is evidence that the president is not popular across Nigeria especially in the North...this protest has given him enough evidence!

Sergio103:
Do you know there's a possibility of great pogrom against Yorubas up north?

Have you thought deep to that?

Not a false alarm.....but rather than posting rubbish, better call your people up north to return home or be very careful.

Abokis were killed today. The president is a Yoruba man
Abokis no dey reason like me and you, if care is not taken......hmm

As for them touching any Igbo, a mad group that will match thier craziness is patiently waiting in the east already

National Chairman of Abia State Elders Consultative Forum, Archbishop Professor Princewilll Ariwodor, has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to honourablly quit if he had no solution to the crumbling Nigerian economy.

I See Myself As Beautiful And Well Dressed, I Don't Look At The Mirror So I Won't Have Negative....0:15 / 1:07
keep watching

The cleric who was recently elected the world President of International College and Council of Bishops and Apostles, ICCOBA, in Dublin, spoke with Vanguard in the wake of the nationwide protest against hunger and bad governance.

He argued that the President should not have made himself available to lead the country if he knew he had no solution to the challenges plaguing the nation particularly the hardship created by his anti-people policies.

Professor Ariwodor cautioned Government against any attempt to scare citizens from holding peaceful protest, describing such as an ambush against democracy.

He described the precarious economic situation in the country, and called for urgent action to revamp it.

“We have never experienced this level of decay in the economic management of this country. Other leaders were in one way or the other better than the current Government.

” Tinubu should resign if he is unable to fix the economy. The Nigeria economy was far better before he took over. Buhari handed over to him a better economy which he has now destroyed.

” But his allies and psychopaths don’t tell him the truth. Nigerians are suffering, there is no pretense.”


Archbishop Ariwodor warned against use of force to suppress the nationwide protest, insisting that Nigerians have right to peaceful protest.


“Nigerians are hungry and have the constitutional right to express their grievances through peaceful protest.

” The people are not violent, so, why will you apply force against peaceful protesters?

” Why will you flog people and ask them not to cry? You are flogging the nation and shouldn’t ask the people not to cry.

” Government should listen to public opinions. Pressure groups, provided they are not violent, make Governments to sit up. “


The Abia Elders Consultative Forum helmsman, also warned against any attempt to arrest the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, for speaking truth to power.

He said that Obi should not be persecuted for constructively criticising the Tinubu-led administration over its poor management of the economy.

Archbishop Ariwodor declared support for Obi and other Nigerians who had criticised the bad policies of Government, or declared support for peaceful protest.

” Abia elders solidly stand behind Obi. And if anybody attempts to arrest him, we will all march to Abuja, and they should get ready to slaughter all of us there. If anybody touches him for speaking the truth, the person should be ready to kill all of us.

” I spoke with Obasanjo and I agree with his advice to Tinubu that peaceful protesters should not be touched. This is democracy. I totally endorse the position of the former President in the statement he had issued.”

The cleric disagreed with those calling for the shelving of the nationwide protest, accusing them of deceiving the President for personal gains.

“We want to dissociate ourselves with the advice of Igbo leaders who found themselves in position of authority, and do not see the level of suffering of the Nigerian masses as a result of bad governance.

” Why will you want people to keep quiet and remain in the House when a cup of beans is N600 and two cups of garri N500?”

He, however, advised the protesters not to go violent but express their grievances within the ambit of the law.

SITUATION REPORTS: 1/08/2024: In some of the areas we just visited which includes hospital road, st Michaels road, Pound road and jubilee road all in ABA, there is total calmness as Young guys are only seen playing football along the road.

Roadside business operators are very active running their businesses within any issues.

Dear Mr IPOB President Peter Obi. The word "Deteriorated" is kinda understatement; the appropriate epithet to describe current state of Nigeria is yet to enter the dictionary.

See nah: The current illegitimate president said: "He doesn't believe in One Nigeria.

BAT in 2023 charged his cronies to SNATCH ballot Box & Run with it .

BAT gained admission into Chicago with certificate of a school not in existent.

BAY has drug issues & his actual identity & background is unknown!

Buhari spent over N300 billion Naira for electronic voting just like South Africa just showed the world how it is done. Mahmoud Yakubu, BAT & some politicians stole The People's Mandate. They turned off Electronic device, rigged the elections, drastically reduced Mr Peter Obi's results, used thugs to maim, stab & kill people, they also snatched & burnt people's votes in 2023! Their attack dogs threatened people who would not vote BAT NOT to show up. In so-called centre of excellence, Oro was declared on an election day! Money changed hands & The Judiciary turned blind eyes & seared conscience & miscarried justice!

Dear Mr Peter Obi, Nigeria is worse than a jungle!

We hope that come 2027, the last straw won't break the Carmel's back ultimately!

I Will Never Turn My Back on You – President Tinubu Tells Nigerians, Speaks on Economic Reforms | #Politicsnigeria

President Bola Tinubu has vowed never to turn his back on Nigerians.

He also urged Nigerians to bear the pains of economic reforms, saying the measures are necessary to put the nation on a sound economic footing.

He made the disclosure on Wednesday in a national broadcast marking the 25th anniversary of Nigeria’s democracy.

Tinubu said, “As we continue to reform the economy, I shall always listen to the people and will never turn my back on you.”

President Tinubu also addressed the recent negotiations with organized labour on a new national minimum wage, stating that the government has negotiated in good faith and will soon send an executive bill to the National Assembly to enshrine the agreed-upon wage for the next five years or less.

He said it is important to have both political and economic democracy, urging the nation to continue working towards a brighter future.

The president acknowledged the economic difficulties faced by the country and the need for reforms to create a stronger foundation for growth.

He added, “In the end, our national greatness will not be achieved by travelling the easy road. It can only be achieved by taking the right one.

“The words of the American President Franklin Roosevelt certainly ring true:

“ There are many ways of going forward. But only one way of standing still”!

“We dare not slumber lest the good things awaiting our immediate future pass us by. We dare not plant our feet in idle standstill in the middle of the intersection of hope and despair.

“We know the proper way forward and we shall take it!

“The initial rays of a brighter tomorrow now appear on the early horizon. An abundant future and our capacity to achieve that future lie within our reach. Democracy and the institutions it begets offer to take us to our profound destination.

“Let us board this progressive train together. Together, let us move Nigeria forward.

“Let’s continue to keep the fire of democracy burning. Let’s keep the torch lit for generations to come.”

Everlastingson:
The Abacha regime you now call evil was far better than the present Tinubu's. At least your father fed well then. You can't even afford garri today. Hungry Bateria.

Essence20:
And how evil was Abacha regime to compare to Tinubu regime

tishbite43:
Buhari was part of Abacha's regime
Tinubu asked Abacha to make him number 2 in Lagos then thereby throwing Abiola under the bus. You can ask Kola.
Babagana Kingibe was part of Abacha's regime
Bagudu was part of Abacha's regime
So, what do have to say
Yoruba hypocrite

Essence20:
And who's in the right position to speak about democracy.
Emilokan abi

CrossRhodes:
As ports administrator what direct influence did he have on human rights abuse that year?
