I know he's working for apc since the day Kanu was kidnapped.

For him to believe oppressing and even going as far as putting his own people at risk makes him somehow better than those he pretends he is up against speaks volumes about that.

Yankee101:
The signs of an oppressor These ones go worse pass Nigerian government if they ever get power
Who oppresses their own people and think they’re hurting others? Na madness now Na Igbo business men wey dey outside Igbo land dey oppose Biafra pass. Go and check

Exactly!

realmindz:
■ You are speaking from your very assumptions. There is no evidence to back up this claim that FG is sponsoring any group of people to incite violence anywhere. If you have an evidence we don't know, please make it public

No evidence,I see! So you are telling us that the numerous video evidence available in public space of your politicians hiring and paying off Special advisers, online touts, and even protest disrupters are not evidence enough? OK!

snapshot:
This is what happens in a country without a government

A Kakistocracy😂😂😂😂😂

GreenCovering:
■ Ah! ah!! Lol. You blamed the FG, blamed the supreme court, blamed the state governors and also blamed the populace all in a single post to register a point in support of, erm, God knows whom? Na wa o. Wetin we no go read for NL?

Do I instead blame The West, Bill Gates, and maybe even Israel?

realmindz:
■ I was just trying to understand the situation, I have been hearing some people accuse Simon Ekpa working with FG to destabilize the east. Unfortunately, all the people cheering him on Facebook and Twitter are 100% the same people you are saying are being destabilized. you can verify this yourself, I mean all his supporters are from the East, and the foot soldiers fighting on his behalf are all easterners as well. Before you blame FG, why don't you look inward, and accept the fact that you are being sabotaged by your own people?

● The people paid off by the FG to destabilize and manipulate all attempts at revolt against Tinubu in the South West, are they not people from the South West and do they not have supporters equally from the South West?
● Those paid off by the FG to destabilize and manipulate the people in the North, are they not equally people from the North and do they not have supporters from the North?

Why is it far-fetched to believe that the same FG also pays off some of those destabilizing and manipulating affairs in the South East?

"Hundreds of people are currently gathered at the PHRC entrance, preventing workers from doing their jobs and vowing that the refinery restart will not proceed,” the source said." ------ sounds like from a Banana Republic.

Disband the Police force before the excuse of civilians preventing entrance to a govt refinery.

Why are the people protesting the work at the refinery? Is that not something reasonable people would want to know?

Beremx:
his followers are on his Twitter page. They don't know he's been sponsored to destabilize the SE. They're blinded by ignorance and tomfoolery.

The situation in Nigeria has rendered so many without the ability to critically reason their existence and situation. Imagine supporting a man who is comfortably sitting off in somewhere Finland —maybe raising his family there too. All this while he sets terrorists up to impede the freedoms and rights of his people back in Nigeria where all the people have known is suffering. Many have been severely damaged by all of the problems of Nigeria.

coolitempa:
■ You can say what you like. Mazi Simon Ekpa has our support. We dare you to come out on those days. Our leader must be respected and obeyed. We ibos demand the lockdown.

Has your support in what exactly? He is your leader who has helped cripple movements and impede on the rights of his people in the South East? Wake the fk up!

realmindz:
■ Please explain how, I don’t understand how FG is working with Simon Ekpa. His supporters on Twitter are the eastern people.

A man uses his terrorist group to terrorize South Easterners impeding their freedom of movement and expression, yet you think that because many of his supporters are Easterners, he must not be working for the FG? Are the Uzodinmas, and other political class in the South East who pillage, kidnap, and destroy the lives of their constituents every chance they get equally working on behalf of the South Easterners?

AlaafinOfOyo:
For once,I support Ekpa. We don't need protest in SE. Let those who rigged Tinubu in do the protests in the North and SW.

So, you agree that South Easterners would not be allowed to individually decide their own part and future. Rather, terrorists like Ekpa and his gang should force the people to abide by his private delusions instead. What is wrong with you people?

Okoroawusa:
■ And as educated as you are you believed that? Beremx, idi nma ipia 12 n'ike

It is easier and better to believe that than to believe Simon Ekpa has the interest of the South East in mind.

Okoroawusa:
■ Is it FG that's planning the protest?

The right of the people to protest is entrenched in your Constitution. You destabilize things when you shackle the people there by keeping them from freely exercising their rights. That is what Simon Ekpa is doing by insisting he would lock down the SE with his terrorist gangs.

Beremx:
Oloriburuku, he's locking down SE exactly when there want to be protest. Werey is definitely working with FG to destabilize Igbo land. Foolish man

Very very foolish boy and foolish people in the South East who listen to and agree with him. This boy is sitting fat and fresh back in Finland yet with the audacity to command their lives in warzone-line South East Nigeria. I can't understand this.

Mazisimonekpa:
Mazi Simon Ekpa Prime Minister

Imagine this nonsense! People struggling in Nigeria taking orders from a man who is sitting comfortably in his home in Finland. No be brain-damage be that?

■ According to an insider, presently, there is also an ongoing blockade at the entrance of the refinery preventing work from commencing. “Hundreds of people are currently gathered at the PHRC entrance, preventing workers from doing their jobs and vowing that the refinery restart will not proceed,” the source said.
■ On December 21, 2023, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited announced the completion of the mechanical rehabilitation on a section of the Port Harcourt refinery. Mele Kyari, group chief executive officer (GCEO) of NNPC, had said the refinery would begin production by the end of March, but this has not happened.
TheCable had reported on July 9 that the presidency expressed concerns over the NNPC’s failure to deliver critical projects including the Port Harcourt refinery. But Heineken Lokpobiri, minister of state for petroleum resources (oil), said such projects often take time, adding that the refinery is at its final rehabilitation stage.
On July 15, the national oil company said the Port Harcourt refinery would begin operations in early August.

Why are the 100s of people gathered in front of the refinery? What are their grievances?

2. Check their bank accounts and homes for reasons why the refinery project has been delayed.

“We reiterate the Lagos State Government’s Zero-Tolerance Policy for all forms of domestic and sexual violence and reaffirm our dedication to protecting the rights and dignity of all survivors, ” [/b]she said.
Ladenegan-Oginni appealed to the public to report any case of domestic and sexual violence to its toll-free line at 08000-333-333 or via direct message on its social media platforms @lagosdsva.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) had earlier reported that the senior officer allegedly defiled the teenager at the Area H Command, Ogudu.
[b]The girl was sexually assaulted while trying to recover her phone which was stolen by some suspected criminals.
The officer, who offered to help the girl retrieve her phone, tricked her to the station on the pretext that the phone had been recovered and the thief arrested.

Has the police officer been arrested and charged with her rape or are we just talking for the sake of talking?

Ddeliverer007:
I’ve heard so much about this protest. It’s more like the apocalypse. But nobody is saying when it’s starting. When is it starting??

Before you go out to protest, know your rights as a Nigerian.

Everyone has the following human rights:
■ Freedom of Expression and Assembly: Everyone has the right to carry their opinion to the streets. People have the right to organize peaceful protests and demonstrate free from intimidation, unnecessary or excessive force, and the threat of prosecution and detention
■ Protection of the Right to Freedom of Assembly: Law enforcement must facilitate and not restrict a peaceful public assembly. Where a minority tries to turn a peaceful assembly into a violent one, law enforcement should protect the peaceful protestors and not use the violent acts of a few as a pretext to restrict or impede the exercise of the fundamental rights of a majority.
■ Freedom from Excessive Use of Force: In the policing of non-violent protests, police must avoid the use of force. If it is unavoidable (for example to defend themselves or the public from an imminent risk of serious injury or death) they must use the minimum amount of force necessary. The type of equipment used to disperse crowds such as rubber bullets, tear gas, and stun grenades can result in serious injury and even death and can only be used when necessary, proportional, and lawful.
■ Right to Medical Assistance: If you are injured you have a right to medical assistance without delay.
■ Freedom from Arbitrary Arrest and Detention: If you are arrested you have a right to be told of the reason for your arrest, you also have the right promptly after your arrest to have access to a lawyer and to your family. No person under any form of detention may be subject to torture, or to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.
■ Right to Complain: If your rights have been violated you have a right to file a complaint and to be provided information on how to do so. All violations of human rights by the police or other law enforcement personnel must be investigated fully, promptly, and independently

President Tinubu is about to secure a loan of 150bn dollars which about 222,000,000,000,000 naira(two hundred and twenty two trillion naira at current naira rate).Do you think Nigeria would be transformed for a better with this massive loan tinubu is about to collect soon? Share your views

Have any of the other loans that Nigeria has obtained in the last 25 years "transformed" Nigeria?

In a democracy, loans do not transform the Nation. People do. The Nigerian people have been sleeping at the wheel of their democracy; Nothing done without the people's conscious involvement can transform the nation.

Sanwo-Olu promised a similar package to corp members in his state this week. Where is this money all coming from now? How is the state suddenly able to afford this but not able to pay its workers above minimum wage?

∆ Does it make sense for people like you to seek to maintain the Status Quo (albeit an illegality) simple because your IMAGINATION suggests to YOU and ONLY YOU and your co-travellers that the SUPREME COURT OF THE LAND may be introducing another illegality.
What makes you think you’re wiser than the Supreme Court Justices?

Use your brain abeg!

If someone is in stack violation of the law, the common sense thing that should happen is for that person to be arrested and prosecuted for thoze illegal acts -- in this case he would need to be impeached first. The fact that I continue to point out the illegallity of the actions of the Governors means I expect common sense to come next. Use your brain. And please stop responding if you are going to continue projecting.

raskymonojendor:
But the same so called protesters in Kenya are busy looting. I have seen a couple of videos of looters I Kenya hiding under the guise of protesting. The protesters are no different from the politician. They are just waiting for their own opportunity to grab power.

I don't understand the reason behind this comment of yours?

By the way, there have also been reports of actual protesters engaging and arresting many of those who came out to loot stores. You should look those stories online up. According to reports, the touts where organized tugs from politicians sent out to disturb the protests. Among them are police men in union who were captured on camera stealing TV sets and other items from stores during the protests.

membranus:
∆ Those who knew the constitution and the Law better than you have given their judgement and decisions, and these stands until and if another constitution is fabricated for the country.
So therefore, your ranting and vituperation here is like the scratching of an ant on the ground, it serves no purpose.
When your governor was looting and flexing with what should be used to develop your LGA, there was no whimper from you. But when someone who want to develop your local community fought to rectify this anomaly and bring development to your village, instead of you applauding him, but because he defeated your candidate in the last election, you are here castigating him. Is that not witchcraft?

That statement in bold ---- the belief that they know your laws and everything else better than you do ---explains why your political class have been able to deceive you all into falling for the same scams from the same set of crooks for the 25 years now. they will continue to do so until you wake your brains the fk up!

shinealight:
∆ Your comment in bold is nothing but balderdash!
Talking about Section 162, are you claiming to be more knowledgeable or wiser than the Supreme Court Justices?
If you realise that the State Governors have been bearing down on the LG Administrations and stealing funds meant for them, shouldn’t we rejoice that someone with balls has introduced legislation to clip their wings and allow the LGs to breathe?
∆ Why must you wish for the status quo to remain merely because you think the FG wants more power….more power to do what exactly? Your reasoning is totally illogical and ridiculous!

Try to adequately reason the content of a post before responding.

What you refer to as the status quo has been of illegal acts, violations of section 162 by your Governors for almost 25 years now that have been largely ignored by a population mostly ignorant of the details of their own Law. Now, to solve that illegality, rather than insist on the Law, your Supreme Court which is tasked with upholding the Constitution completely ignores it altogether to insist on another illegallity. How can that favor the people when the ones who continue to benefit are instead your politicians?

■ You can't lead a revolution but you can ask for it right? Those who did in Kenya were not expecting others to do it on their behalf and gaslighting people on social media. Keep typing in your comfort zone and expect others to deliver revolution on your behalf.

See the level of reasoning of this one abeg! Abeg waka pass me with this what amounts to ringworm mentality!

Nukilia:
Politicians are jittery... The end is near

They are definitely paying off touts to further distract the Nigerian people from the important issues before them even today. And the sad reality is all the money being spent on these touts is stolen from the Nigerian people by these twats and scammers in office.

helinues:
Now which of your own words are applicable to the word racist you used in this case? Did you comprehend what you quote sha

Look at this numbskull asking an obviously stewpid question!

santaclaws:
■ Oya lead the protest na... You sit in your comfort zone, typing on a forum thinking that's how to start a revolution. Leave your comfort zone and start a protest, then I will take you seriously. Na mouth una get!

Who lead the Kenyan kids in Kenya into protest? Na me? Nonsense!
