↪I am balanced but amazed at how some Southerners, if they are not evil and cynically calculative, are praising the North whose latest actions only shows that the people of the North needs help and rescuing urgently from their own Northern oppressors/slavers and not Tinubu.
Shehu Sani and many balanced Northerners condemned what happend and they made it clear North came out of this protest with no credit whatsoever.
Any non-Northerner therefore telling the North currently they are more politically aware than others, when the world see a show of shame and cynical exploitation of human beings Northern leaders have dehumanised, is lying to them or seeking to use the region for their own agenda. This point I make is same that sincere, intelligent and well-meaning Northerners themselves are making over the protest.

The members of the House of Representatives have yet to implement their resolution to slash their salaries by 50 per cent for the next six months.
The federal lawmakers made the resolution on July 18 and it was expected to reflect in their salaries for the month of July but the spokesman for the House of Representatives, Rotimi Akin, blamed bureaucracy for the delayed implementation.
“The House of Representatives remains committed to the resolution passed on July 18, which mandates a 50 per cent reduction in the salaries of honourable members for the period from July to December 2024.
“We acknowledge and regret that this resolution was not implemented by the bureaucracy as intended for the month of July.”The lawmakers had made the promise while deliberating on a motion, seeking to forestall the nationwide hunger protest, which began on August 1.

OGUN YOUTH ASSEMBLY Ogun State Government's ₦10,000 Recruitment Fee Raises Questions About Job Accessibility
The Ogun State Government's recent decision to charge a ₦10,000 fee for civil service job application forms is deeply concerning. This practice, which has resurfaced from a similar situation in 2021, raises questions about the accessibility and fairness of the recruitment process. It is crucial for a government to consider the impact of such policies on its citizens, especially in times of economic difficulty.
In line with global developmental standard practices, equitable access to opportunities is a fundamental aspect of human development. By imposing a fee, the government inadvertently creates a barrier for many qualified individuals who may already be struggling financially. This approach contrasts with the ideals of inclusive governance, which should focus on removing obstacles to employment rather than introducing additional financial challenges.

For Nigerians to achieve genuine progress from this nationwide protest, here is a list of a 3 point workable agenda that Nigerians should demand for during the protest based on order of implementation….
AGENDA 1: Remove Tinubu as president either through willful resignation or forced impeachment, followed by a total dissolution of the current bloated government
AGENDA 2: Establish a caretaker interim smaller government setup with a mandate of 2 maximum of 18 months to implement the points listed below.

Barely few hours to the proposed nationwide protest against economic hardship, Youth Party has asked the Federal government to focus more on governance, alleviate the suffering of Nigerian.

∆ What you keep posting has nothing to do with the governments measures designed to protect you and the rest of them society.
You are free to protest, but you are not free to roam around disrupting daily activities of other people, business and social activities.
Your rights doesn't supercede the rights of other people.
The government by duty must protect the rights of others while protecting yours.

The Federal Government has raised fresh security concern ahead of the planned nationwide protest scheduled to commence on August 1, 2024.
In a statement on Wednesday, the government expressed concern that bandits and insurgents may hijack the much-anticipated demonstrations.
The Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, while briefing journalists and media executives at the Radio House in Abuja on Wednesday, noted that rather than protest, Nigerians should engage the government through another means to ensure the current administration delivers on its campaign promises.
“Government is weary of the dangers associated with protests that are vulnerable to being highjacked by bandits, insurgents and other criminals.
Rather, we request that dialogue should be advanced, and we remain open to such,” Akume said, insisting that protest is not the solution to the challenges, which the President Bola Tinubu-led administration is working to solve....

Assuming you are correct, you should know that you still need to go to court to challenge today's ruling. I’m sure that anyone considering your appeal will remember the last un-designated protest that resulted in the burning and destruction of courthouses and its subsequent impact on their working conditions before repairs were made.

■ You are right kobojunkie, go and quote ECOWAS court ruling to DSS whilst they are drop kicking you into one of their special hospitality suites. People are saying Protest sensibly, you are here talking about constitution and court rulings.
I am sure once they hear your Texan drawl (or whoever you are in US) quoting grammar, they would immediately unpour you and go and hide behind their mummys.

■ Not all, they're only advised not to. No one has the right to tell any citizen not to protest, it's their right. If you don't want to protest please keep that to yourself and allow others to exercise their right. When they come online begging for alms we snob them but we don't known the pains some people are going through just to survive the present hardship

■ It's a valid court ruling; if you disagree, you can take it to court. I support protests but we must ensure they don't lead to chaos, violence, or damage to public or private property.

I believe the courts acted appropriately in this case, as long as there are designated protest areas, given the legitimate concerns about potential riots or violence.

Great.. the same law they are claiming gave them right to protest is same law (court) restricting their activities..
Next is to arrest and prosecute anybody caught blocking roads or disturbing public peace in the State.
