∆ It appears majority of Nigerians have mud in their heads in place of brain matter, and also are despicable cowards who prefer to poke fun at very serious issues that are jeopardizing their very existence.
This Tinubu government intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of "warfare" by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, constitutes a war crime in international law .

I am shocked that Nigerians, particularly the south have not boycotted Cattle meat and any other meat sold by the very same herders who are responsible for insecurity and decimation of farms across the country.

Caramia2020:
I pray that lizard n rat meat won't flood our market soon , this shege na shege banza.

You should be investigating those instead of continuing to feast on the same cattle that herders have used to end farms and lives all over the country. Nigerians across the nation ought to have boycotted their cattle and goats at this point in time.

OZIOGU1:
■Yea, conveying cows from north to south is very expensive

The damage the cattle and their herders inflict on your local agricultural industry as well as the many lives they are accused of taking along the way is not even more expensive a cost to pay all in order that you eat beef? Come one people's! Wake the fk up!

Creamypie:
I talk am say thing costly cos of produce checkpoints from local government to local government in south and east, but not in d north. We from southern parts of the country are wicked

Are the cattle herders who destroy farmlands in the south and even go as far as kill farmers less wicked? Una for south suppose don boycott their meat for a long time now. How even at the local level, there is no unity to be found amazes me. There are so many other options as far as sources of meat --- snails, pigs, sheep, chicken, etc. Why depend so much on the very same people who have been terrorizing your local agricultural industry? No be brain damage be that?

OZIOGU1:
One Peter Eteng from Odukpani LGA said cow dealers from the northern states have complained that they spend, at least, N500,000 as charges and bribes at checkpoints from the northern states through many other illegal checkpoints in the state before they can offload in local markets and sell to cow dealers in the state.
“High costs of fuel and importantly extortions and taxes at the innumerable checkpoints within Cross River State have added to the reasons why prices of cows have gone up astronomically in the last few years.
“You cannot expect these cow merchants to sell at a loss. Likewise, you will not expect local dealers after buying at huge costs from the merchants, to sell at reduced prices.
“Our state government should intervene by banning too many checkpoints in many parts of the state, especially those ones which are illegal.”
They also lamented that prices of species of goats have also gone up, depriving them of other sources of protein as a result.

Given the problem with Fulani herders damaging farmlands and disregarding the livelihoods of people across the nation, I think this is a good idea actually. People need to wean themselves off their cattle and goats to help decrease the problem abeg!

If say na for here, we go don boycott beef long time now, adopt and purchase meat from local sources instead.

johnnychuks:
You see country that is well organized, not Naija, opon that one police officer lost his both hand as he was trying to oppress the people as usual, not knowing that the land is against him. Kenya you guys did well.

Not well organized but well educated... Civic Education, that is.

blackboy:
In Nigeria make them kill even 50 govt no go change him decision when they know say no be by vote they win but rigging. Inec, police and judiciary Una well done

Nigerians can use the same INEC against them though.

richie240:

As far as bigotry, do not deceive yourself that Kenyans are no longer as divided as they were prior to the start of this protest. They still are but people found a way to pocket all of that in order to unite against the bill. That is what happened here.

richie240:
The bolded is the reason why a 'revolution'cannot work in nigeria. Ordinary endsars, Chinedu took night bus to Lagos to set it ablaze, not minding the fact that akwuzu Sarz is there in alaigbo. 'Revolution' can never work in nigeria again bcus some ppl have the spirit of Chukwuma Nzeogwu ingrained in them: "attack others but protect ours" even when they are all guilty of the same offence. Even u urself, u are already singling out Mc Oluomo as if their are no touts in ur region.

There was opposition, protestors hired by the government to stand against the reject-protestors. They eventually gave up!

skywalker240:
▶ Because majority of them don't even know these

We adopted Democracy but forgot to provide necessary Civic Education to the masses in Nigeria. LOok at how educated Kenyan children are of their place in a democracy, but see the average Nigerian has nearly no clue where his place and responsibility is in his own democracy. Mass education is necessary in this!

Akhee:
Base on their Constitution. If The president did not sign a bill and sent it back to the parliament. The bill becomes a law automatically after 21 days. So the people of Kenya should not be fooled by this news

What you wrote is hard to believe abeg! A president of a country rejects a bill yet it automatically becomes law? That makes no sense abeg!

Teeklef:
I agree with you,just wait till AK 47/Barretta is being pointed at you,You will then know the meaning of being alive .

You know shame at all. You just saw children stand and continue to fight in the face of Ak47s , yet this remains your comeback? Wow... Please continue holding on to your previous life as you continue to live in suffering. Make I jejely waka pass!

Teeklef:
■ Theory is different from practical bro. It is easier said than done.

What theory? It is reality that most of you will never even experience what it means to truly live. Fear of death when death is not only guaranteed you but also sure to come sooner than later because of the state of things in the country makes no sense.

Atlantis585:
CITIZENS WITH BALLS AND CLITS. NOT THE BUNCH OF PUSSEES CALLED NIGERIAN YOUTHS THAT ONLY COME TO NAIRALAND TO DISPLAY THEIR FOOLISHNESS AND TRIBALISM.

Nigerians generally lack Civil Education necessary to help them see things as they ought to.

BondRiv:
■ Are you on drugs? I never said there was a state constitution. That was your position. My posts are here. There is no point wasting my time with you. You are confused.

I am not here to waste my time abeg! Waka pass me!

BondRiv:
■ Obviously, you are a layman, so you won't understand the distinction in Nigeria. What I have stated is the position.

Get a grip already!
▶ State Constitution is same thing as State Law
▶ Section 7 & Section 8 in the National Constitution make fluid of the term guaranteed used; so it makes sense to examine the provisions made at the state Law to determine if, in fact, the State Constitution violates the National Constitution in this case.

If you are unable to provide the State Constitution to show that it is in fact against the National Constitution, you are wasting our time here.

BondRiv:
■ States have laws not constitution. There is only one constitution.

Na the same thing

con·sti·tu·tion

1. a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged to be governed.

Every State in Nigeria has one and in that is the law by which the State Governor came about this idea of an LG Caretaker. Seeing it and comparing that contained to that in the National Constitution is what I am saying needs to happen here.

BondRiv:
■ There is no state constitution. Get that simple fact into your head. The constitution cannot give powers that will undermine it. Any law contravening it is void. Simple.

I am sorry, what?

Typically state constitutions address a wide array of issues deemed by the states to be of sufficient importance to be included in the constitution rather than in an ordinary statute. Often modeled after the federal Constitution, they outline the structure of the state government and typically establish a bill of rights, an executive branch headed by a governor (and often one or more other officials, such as a lieutenant governor and state attorney general), a state legislature, and state courts, including a state supreme court (a few states have two high courts, one for civil cases, the other for criminal cases). They also provide general governmental framework for what each branch is supposed to do and how it should go about doing it.

You don't know states have constitutions and make and sign laws of their own?

BondRiv:
∆ There is only one constitution in Nigeria. Perhaps you mean law. It doesn't matter because any law made in conflict with the constitution is null and void. The Nigerian constitution does not recognize caretaker chairmen.

There is a National Constitution that supersedes all other, yes. But the National Constitution, section 8 in particular, which kind of undermines the guaranteed claim used in section 7. So, definitely, the State Constitution needs to be examined in this case.

Cheapgadget:
∆ Not as much as Nigerians, if you don’t know Kenyans don’t argue what you don’t know plz

Oh, it is now about how much. Make una bow head in shame abeg! This protest was started by children who were able to rise above all the division that had kept the generations before them docile for longest. Instead of realizing division is meaningless, you still dey push am as the most important of all things. Na waoo!

BondRiv:
Nigerian governors. Smh. Look at the people talking about the constitution. These are the same people violating it with the appointment of illegal caretaker chairmen. Clowns.

Have You ever read the River's State Constitution to determine it in fact unconstitutional?

GiZcorp:
■ You just said the people won, you didn't say the dead won... They lost everything down to their very life...

The dead have nothing to desire or fight for anymore; they are dead. The living will continue to desire and fight and hence need to win.

flyinnizam:
who die don die.

The dead have no regrets or losses. Na the living dey carry their life for head as if say by doing just that they can keep death at bay. Look at Nigerians! Many have been dying like chickens for so long, and things only continue to get worse, yet they fear death more than anything.

MrIcredible:
Lol...Kid

Well, the kids lead the way in Kenya and now they will suffer less than Nigerians because of it.

anonimi:
∆ The challenge is to get a critical mass of the masses to understand what is at stake and push resolutely for their goals.
Is this what the Jews did to have a king, starting with Saul

Critical mass at the local/voting level will equally work.

Donchieli:
Results my people
Nigerians did u see, results of resilience and determination
Hope u Nigerians can learn from this, sacrifice must be made, but for 9ja we tend to let the sacrifice go in vain

I just learned 500 were killed during Endsars, yet people let that all go for nothing.

Bliztzer:
∆ Nigerian govt go even kill more

They killed the Kenyans but that spurred these killls to push forward to ensure the deaths were not in vain and i am sure they will work to find justice for all those who were lost.

Cheapgadget:
Kenyans are united, Nigerians are dividend and that's the difference period

Kenyans have the same ethic and religious division you find in Nigeria so what are you talking about?

Tabletuner:
∆ So 22 people had to sacrifice their lives for the bill not to be signed into law?

So it would have been a lot better if the 22 along with over 40% of Kenyans seeing their lives reduced to abject poverty by the very bill? Make Una dey use una head abeg!

Truthsandtrusts:
∆ Can you die for your country,lol... Nigeria fear fear

My country? The country I currently live and vote in, abi?

Omalicious1:
Better!!!! But I know IMF isn't happy about this decision.

IMF has absolutely no fault in the problems of Africa. Your corrupt politician and leaders as well as the zombies they lead are to blame for it all..

Staywithbina:
I don’t think it’s victory yet ,people didn’t need to die for you to listen to your citizens ,in my own opinion they should even hit harder and make them pay for the dead ones if not people won’t be taken serious next time

Definitely! I believe that Kenyans should not go back on their initial plan to recall all those who voted in favor of the bill in parliament.
