■ Protest for what?? Why the protest?? Please no one should disturb the country. We have not hit rock bottom. Until then. Tinubu till 2031. After him, we will vote another ethnic bigot from North until the country hits rock bottom. Then it will auto reverse. Army and police should use any protester for a shooting practice. Let Ebin pawad everyone.

Be sure to make sure to vote Uzodimma and all of the other political touts in the South East into office as well until 2031.

I said the obvious truth, Peter Obi is a visionary leader

A visionary leader who did nothing tangible in Anambra during the same years that Fashola was in Lagos blazing trails? A visionary leader who for 7 years illegally shackled the LGs in the state and probably criminally dipped his hands into an account meant only for the LGs in his state? A man who stifled development at the LG level by his carelessness? You claim youths had at least 10 million in their accounts during his tenure, and I ask where was that money sourced from.

iramure:
Honestly I so much love Peter Obi for always providing solutions to all our challenges. I could remember how he invested heavily in youths in Anambra back them such that no any young person had less than 10 million in his/her account. As a young governor than also, he invested all the state money in beer company for the youths also,. What a good leader Obi is!

How much are you paid to do this?

Chikel20000:
the topic is not about d problem we have.....

Uzodimma is a problem, is he not?

He had an opportunity to show us all this talk no action in his 8 years in Anambra alas all we saw is his investment in Hero beer.

Same can be said of pretty much every one of your politicians in Nigeria. It seems politicians are all the same in Nigeria.

KingLennon:
■ But that can't change the truth. He's saying nothing but the truth. Well, we have to finish the remaining 7 years on ground before....

Of course, politicians sometimes say the right things even as they continue to do the wrong things. By the way, finish what remaining 7 years? Last, I checked there is no reason why you should allow the man even continue till the next year so why are you giving him 7 years?

Melagros:
COMRADES, this is nothing but the truth from a patriotic leader! But unfortunately, Tinubu, Buhari and the entire APC family both online and offline don't know this fact because they don't know what patriotism is

Patriotic leader who handcuffed LG Government during his tenure as governor of Anambra State? Come on now!

FYI. Just so you know, the Local Government was never meant to report to or answer to the Governor but to the National and State House of Assembly.

Chikel20000:
what are u saying?

I am saying Tinubu is not the only problem there is. Tackle the problems you have at home at least.

■ Imo state people are used to bad government from time immemorial.They should continue to enjoy it.

That same can be said of all people in Nigeria, mind you. However, the power to change what seems the norm is, yes, in the hands of the people of each state.

Dis man no go die well walahi

Stop deceiving yourselves! If you do nothing, he and his entire family go die well well(do party sef) while the people go continue to dey die for gutter.

■ So, who now want to protest now

Protest what exactly? Face your front first. Clean up your house first. Have you gotten rid of your incompetent Local Government chairman? Have you removed your state senators and reps who make rulings that are against you at the local level? Have you demanded the impeachment of your governor who has been embezzling funds meant for you and your children? You dey shout, "protest protest," but without a good idea or plan in place, for what? So you can say you went out to make noise? Abegi!

■ While I agree that people of the southeast should not join any protest, it would not be because a serial fraudster and thief like Uzodinma said so. His blackmail, gaslighting and outright lies I are DOA. Where are their children?, where are yours, hope?. Can the withdraw this bastard's security details for 5 minutes?. Ekwensu

People don't need to protest Tinubu or the National Assembly to have their criminal LGs and Governors removed. The people can instead come together to do a recall of Senators who refuse to, for instance, grant them their request for the impeachment of the governor. People can do this as many times as they need to get results.

Uzodinnma and other criminals in power like him at the State and local Government levels should be removed.

Twoclans:
For the first time in my life I agree with Hope Nobody in the south east or from south east extraction should protest,I concur .

Will you at least protest right there in Imo State to have Uzodimma and his cronies at the Local Government and State level removed from office for all of the crimes they have committed against the Imo people? You don't need to remove Tinubu. I wouldn't advice anyone to. But at least do something about Uzodimma and the other dirty politicians and their cronnies.

eteebanky1:
But Igbos are the ones clamouring for protest

Stop spreading this nonsense!

NothingDoMe:
Smart. I suggest that the North and Southwest regions take the lead in organizing the protest.
The South-South and Southeast regions will provide moral support online. May God be with you. 🙏

Nonsense! You do you! No dey mind other people and how dem go do their own.

SouthEast politicians are the current bane of people in the southeast, this Uzodinmma included.

Philipponzaghi:
Na wa o, so na protest we go dey join, no worry, we go just dey watch.

Cleanse your home first. Uzodinma and his many local touts in office need to be removed and prosecuted. You don't need to join a protest to do that. Call for his impeachment and prosecution and use the opportunity to cleanse the old criminals from office.

bruse212:
WHAT HAS HE DONE IN IMO STATE. CAN'T HE SEE WHAT ALEX OTTI IS DOING IN ABIA STATE.

Stop deceiving yourself! All these politicians are the same. Why is Alex Otti illegally interfering in the functions and funds of the LG in his state, acts that contravene the Constitution?

mcbreeze:
This your statement will encourage us to join protest.

Why? Abegi! You never even clean your house na to go clean the market you want to go? Uzodinma and all the other criminal politicians in the Southeast need to go first. The people should do the needful already. Clean out the local politicians and cleanse the South East from the root.

Chikel20000:
The advice....don't protest is just enough....saying d government of Tinubu is our government is a big fat lie

You don't need to worry about Tinubu at this point since the politicians there at the LG and state problems are the immediate problem of most, even in the East.

IduNaOba:
For once we agree with hopeless uzodinjo. Tinubu till 2031

Will you at least protest right there in Imo State to have Uzodimma and his cronies at the Local Government and State level removed from office for all of the crimes they have committed against the Imo people at least? You don't need to remove Tinubu, but at least do something about Uzodimma.

Nastrademus:
Rewarding corruption is the best legacy of the cocaine sniffer turned chief agbero of Nigeria

The Nigerian people have tacitly been rewarding corruption for the last 25 years by refusing to engage their government and the many officials in the system. Are the people any better than the "cocaine sniffer" in this?

alphaNomega:
probably, she might be the next state governor or senate president

If that is what te people want, of course!

■ I was talking of divine repercussions not human...

Who told you that there are these "divine" repercussions though? Was it not the same bunch of liars that lied to you regarding the God of Israel that did so?

REALretep:
■ The bolded above is a definition used to deceive the gullible (sorry i mean no offence). Even the West promulgating democracy don't practice it as it is done here because they know the limitations of such a system. It can be hijacked by one person or a group of powerful persons which we are already witnessing.
■ We must change our governance and political structure to something that works for us. We can't keep practicing the current doomed structure. Nigerians are great people just like other humans in other parts of the world. The whites whom you worship (sorry I mean no offence) have done far worse things than we have. But they came to their senses to create a workable governance and political structure for themselves.
■ I pray a time comes when we too will come to our senses to replicate same.

1. So, the Kenyan children putting to practice that same definition today are gullible? Wow... you Nigerians are a special breed.

2. In the last 63 years alone, Nigerians have doomed the Regional, Military, and now Democratic structures. Yes, the people blamed the system each time and never fought to keep any before now. So tell us, what special structure will cause you and others who think as you do to want to wake the fk up and actually engage your own government?

3. Exactly! You do nothing to change things but pray that some magical occurrence will come and make it all good for you. It is beyond me how many of you think.

Michaeltreasure:
∆ Wow! That means there's no repercussions for our actions then, since mankind is out of control...

Repercussions such as? You have your human laws and your justice systems, don't you. What else are you expecting?

Nemere2020:
The state’s NLC Chairman, Ogbonnaya Okoro, had alleged that the state government is currently paying N20,100 while workers in the Local Governments receive N18,000 as minimum wage.
However, the governor said that records available to him showed the state is paying N30,000 minimum wage.
Addressing the press on Sunday, July 14, 2024, Okoro warned the state government that failure to adhere to and implement the Memorandum of Understanding, reached at the meeting by July 28, 2024, “no other notice will be given to the government than to proceed on an indefinite strike.”

Alex Otti is one of the Govenors who have been illegally dipping into LG funds and controlling affairs at LG levels. So, what do the people really expect?

Reloadedisraelp:
and yet efcc have no case with him..... weda u like it or not .....Peter obi remains ur nightmare including ur agbodo party APC

The EFCC has no case against the over 20 Governors currently implicated in dipping into LG funds. Does that mean that all 20-something Governors are innocent and should be allowed to continue their crime against Nigerians?

Make una dey use una head abeg!

Kelklein:
■ These are enough evidence why the so called SIEC should be scrapped.. the National Assembly should ensure this.. the governors have overabused the electoral body. Same thing they would do to State Police if given.
I'm not sure the Voter turnout in this election was upto 10%.. because everyone already knows what the Governor would do.. oppositions in some local government don't even bother wasting their time to field any candidate. The only way to stop this nonsensical unpatriotic greedy autocratic attitude of the governors is to get INEC to conduct the local government polls.. they would really be an independent body and more parties would field candidates ensuring a smooth democratic run of the process. At least much better than this current charade.
Nigerian governors just need to take it easy...

Stop blaming the structure when the problem is in fact the people. Let's assume PDP did in fact rig themselves into winning all 25, was it not the people of the state that they used in accomplishing exactly that? And are you trying to tell us that there aren't those from outside of those circles who are aware of what happened? Why do they not call for immediate remove of those rigged in? Why do they do nothing but wail instead?

Blue3k:
If the states or federal government are not keeping track of the population regularly, is the FAAC Allocation ever correct?

There was no census conducted in 2023, thanks to Buhari making sure of that, and no one has said anything about it since then. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MIKOLOWISKA:
which governors will agree to scrap their states

It is not up to the governors but the people whether states should be scrapped or not.

REALretep:
The truth remains that one can't be doing the same thing while expecting a desired change.
The current Nigerian structure is not working...it is doomed

When, in the history of Nigeria, was the "structure" ever not doomed? You lot are notorious for blaming the structure instead of blaming the Nigerian people who refuse to "stone" the criminals who steal and destroy their future. The structure has nothing to do with the problem which is instead the people; the Nigerian people are zombies!

Democracy is a government for the people by the people. The people of Nigeria are, by design of the system, meant to be seated right in the driver's seat of their government. (Elected officials are meant to be backseaters in a democracy since they work for the people after all.) However, what we have is a situation where the people have instead taken to sitting way in the back seat while expecting the situation to magically run in their favor. They have become wailers pretending they are victims when they are instead at the foundation of the problem.
