↪Yeye gbajue president 😂 Student loans in a nation where graduates of more than a decade ago are still looking for jobs? Student loans, an initiative that its success depends on the students paying back the loans AFTER getting JOBS... where are the jobs? 😂 ..Where is the database for proper accountability? When we can't even maintain govt websites? Is this nigga for real?
It works in the US because they have a vibrant economy ready to absorb graduates immediately, even at that, its a heavy burden to American taxpayers! Running a successful student loan scheme is NO MEAN FEAT! Always putting the cart before the horse. Always making stupid populist decisions without critically thinking them through. Copying successful initiatives from saner climes WITHOUT COPYING WHAT MAKES THEM SUCCESSFUL IN THE FIRST PLACE! What a joke of a man! A man who has been thoroughly demystified otherwise he would have gone down in history as the BEST PRESIDENT NIGERIA NEVER HAD like AWO and MKO.. 😂
I never believed in my life I would see any person who would make Buhari look like a freaking genius! 🤦🏾‍♂️

No mind them! Imagine that! Student loans in a country where people wey graduate 20 years ago are yet to be gainfully employed. Many of those protesting out there are graduates from so many years ago, some of them are now fathers and watching their children go through the same old sheet. The yeye man dey look for way to basically turn already impoverished people into live organ donors for their creditors.

↪You share in his blood whether you accept it or not. Because you are among the people who goaded them on and on to this protest. Now you are mocking his religion Dear northerners see your life on Nairaland. The same people pushing you to protest have started mocking your religion. Once they've succeeded in setting the country alight, then they will do away with you guys and bare their real intentions as it has already started happening on twitter. They want to change 3 to 1.

Are you sure you are OK?

This is why it's good to have a president that knows what he is doing. Tinubu said he has confidence in his plans and I believe him. I have always known that he is not a clueless president like others. On Tinubu's mandate I stand. The hardships we see today we shall see them no more.

A President who uses bribery and corruption to coax people into not protesting against bad governance is not a good president. A president who uses force to manipulate his people's protest is not a good president. It does not matter what he thinks he knows.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Na wah! Tinubu dey talk faith, while some people still dey protest like say na their birthright.

It is their birthright as Nigerian citizens though.

Wisdomkosi:
↪ In an official video released by the State House on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, President Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties faced by Nigerians, admitting that the transition has been tougher than expected.
He attributed the hardship to an “avoidable lag” between the subsidy removal and the implementation of his administration’s plans.
However, President Tinubu reassured Nigerians that his policies would ultimately yield positive results.
[b]He said, “Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us and there’s no doubt that it is tough on us but I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture. All our good and helpful plans are in the works. More importantly, I know that they will work. Sadly, there was an avoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully on line.”
“I plead with you, please, have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your well-being. We will get out of this turbulence and due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.
“For example, we shall fulfill our promise to make education more affordable to all and provide loans to higher education students who may need them. No Nigerian students will have to abandon higher education system because of lack of money.
“Our commitment is to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of our people. On principle, we shall never falter, I assure you, my fellow countrymen and women, that we are exiting the darkness to enter a new and glorious dawn. Now, I must get back to work in order to make this vision come true.”[/b]
This is the second time President Tinubu has addressed the nation amid the ongoing protests and unrest. He previously addressed the nation in a national broadcast on Sunday, August 4, 2024.

I fully support the agitation for an end to bad governance across all of Nigeria, and I am particularly happy that the Northern States are not backing down at all. Enough is Enough abeg! No more audio promises that leave Nigerians always at the losing end. We saw this for 8 years of Buhari, and one year of Tinubu... that is over 9 years of Nigerians losing trillions of Naira to gain absolutely nothing.

..., the method will not work out and succeed..the politicians will make it not to work out and frustrate it

See, this is the problem I have with Nigerians. You have never in fact tried it before now but you are sure it won't work because your blood is against doing anything that might in fact work?

bitbillionaire:
That is how it should be. Nice one. I just hope Nigerian law empowers INEC to attend to this kind of request. If so, Nigerians need to start adopting this strategy if they truly want the best from their elected representatives.

What do you mean you hope Nigerian Law empowers INEC to attend to this kind of request?

kentokay71:
↪Mummy, seyi follow them protest, when they dey tell you pple to use sense you will not listen, now it has happen, who come lose?

I see, so protesters deserve to be shot and killed is basically what you are saying, even though clearly, your Army does not even agree with that since it is said to have compensated the boy's family for the killing?

Immune1:
↪In the coming months and with more refineries coming on stream, petrol should become more affordable. For the time being and in line with the glaring signals it's wisdom to plan and protect your pocket.

I see now that your job is to lie for a living so I will waka pass at this point!

chiiraq802:
↪You ain't even as happy as I am for what the Northern youths are doing up North, trust me.

Right from day 1 of the protest, I was stunned by the actions of the protesters in Kano who went straight to the Governor's office to deliver their demands to the governor. They are doing what ought to be done here!

SmartPolician:
INEC is a monumental failure. If recalls were feasible in Nigeria, many politicians wouldn't be misbehaving!

Stop being ridiculous! INEC is not to blame for people refusing to use the system to their advantage. The Nigerian people are solely to blame for that. That is why Rotimi Amaechi goes around the world telling people how the Nigerian people never act or stand up for their rights because they just do not have it in them to do so.

NeckingNgulping:
↪ Honestly, they seem to be more wise and knowledgeable. I'm beginning to give it up to them.

Imagine!

Omoluabi16:
Simple! There is a provision for recall In the constitution. Why do we not use it often?

Probably because when push comes to shove, most Nigerians are still just all noise and less action.

chiiraq802:
↪It's now they will act Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen have ravaged there villages for years, some of them don't even have villages again. lols. Ok ooo.... they should continue acting. Tinubu no kukuma get there time.

Must it all be done according to your own schedule? Come on!! We finally seem people doing what even our grandfathers and grandmothers, parents, and ancestors refused to do. Why come down on them for it?

zombieHUNTER:
This is the way to go. I expect every region to emulate this. except the South west, those lots are easy to manipulate by their politicians, They are here screaming Ronu and Igbo everyday on empty stomach

This is in fact the way to go if impeaching Tinubu is what the people really want.

CriminalTinubu:
When will Iragbiji indigenes recall Tinubu?

Have you recalled your own senators and reps?

Judolisco:
A politician somewhere is definitely behind it....

Even if, since this is coming at a time of protest, it is bound to serve to educate Nigerians of their own Constitution. Once you hand the people a weapon to use once and that weapon succeeds in their hands, chances are they will continue to use it.

chiiraq802:
As long as FG is not interested in that Recall process...it's just a waste of time.

Shut the Bleep up! The people are acting. Sit back and let Northerners teach you how democracy actually works!

Welcum:
Northerners are much more politically aware than Southerners. If Nigerians start doing this, those fat fools will sit up to their duties and stop rubber-stamping the executive for filthy gains.

I have been made to realize this this past couple of days.

dinomalaiye:
But why can't we adopt this method instead of this widespread protests?

Because the vast majority of Nigerians are ignorant of this method and even being told of it refuse to take the step forward out of cowardice!

System202:
Yobe Youths Petition INEC To Recall Their Representatives

This is what I love abeg!

↪The sad reality, the signals are very glaring and we must brace up.

Sad reality or a choice? There is a difference you know?

CityGate33:
My guy man is trying to back out

But he is right that he didn't organize the protest. The major organizer is hunger in the land. All others like him merely came in to support and rally other hungry people to protest against what is bad governance. Anyone who claims to have organized this protest is simply lying to you all.

↪This follows the army's admission of responsibility for the fatal shooting in Samaru, Zaria, Kaduna State in a statement on Wednesday.
The family of Ismail Mohammed, a 16-year-old boy killed by the Nigerian Army under President Bola Tinubu during the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests, has been compensated with N300,000.
This follows the army's admission of responsibility for the fatal shooting in Samaru, Zaria, Kaduna State in a statement on Wednesday.
According to X user Aliyu (@AliyuKwarbai) on Wednesday afternoon, Ismail Mohammed's family has been given N300,000 for life compensation.
“The father of 16 years old boy (Ismail), who was killed by the Nigerian Army under the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday, in Samaru Zaria, Kaduna state has received N300,000. N300,000 for life's compensation of life?” SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that tragedy struck in Kaduna State, as Nigerian soldiers fired live rounds to suppress #EndBadGovernance protests in Samaru community, killing two civilians and sparking widespread panic.

Na Ismail Jannah life dem weigh at Naira 300,000 so?

OMGosh! If say na Seyi Tinubu dem kill so, na Naira 300,000 dem go compensate Tinubu with? Nigerians are treated less than rats in their own country abeg, yet these people go dey form "Giant of Africa".

Clemzy31:
↪At this dire time of the nation's history, what the country needs are patriots, not ethnic or tribal champions. We need Nigerians who think Nigeria before their ethnic/tribal affiliations. We need leaders who are ready to subsume ethnic cleavages for national interest. We need leaders who are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder to salvage this Nation and restore her to the laudable dream of our founding fathers. Akpabio is a spectacular example of this national ideal. He is broad-minded, accommodating, receptive, sensitive and at home with every section of the country. Nigeria would not have asked for a better head of the Legislature at a time like this. Let us rally around him , support him and maximize his experience and leadership potential for national development.
Joe Peter is a public affairs analyst

Joe Peter, na Akpabio, the porky, who said he would be eating while the people who employed him should be out protesting is the one you wrote this epistle on behalf of. Shame no catch you?

Immune1:
↪So what's the way forward? The unfortunate Nigerian way of taking matters into your hands.
1) Prioritize vehicle maintenance to curb high fuel consumption.
2) Check the fuel you buy as quality varies as supply is erratic. As observed as an ordinary user, fuel quality varies for even different filling station branches of the same brand (petroleum marketer) and in some cases, a few bad supply batches are common for even stations with known good quality. So in summary be observant of how quickly fuel burns while driving and be flexible in your choices of filling stations.
3) Re-evaluate your mobility strategy to accommodate pooling, use of public transportation, change of vehicle and not having to move at all (embracing the remote culture where possible) by leveraging technology.
In conclusion and logically speaking, Nigeria has no business with high domestic energy prices and it will take deliberate leadership to unbundle the current fiasco.

In otherwords, Nigerians are to, yet again, source for solutions on their own to yet another problem that your government refuses to solve for the people. Kai!

Audio

APC Na audio government! Buhari also spent billions of Naira doing exactly the same thing and here we are today.
Buhari spent billions of dollars fixing Nigeria's refineries but here we are today
Buhari spent billions of Naira working on infrastructure development but here we are today with infrastructure still at zero!
Osinbanjo, Buhari's next man, spent billions of School programs but here we are today with nothing in the form of improvement as far as the education of Nigeria's children...
Buhari spent Billions on improving the health care system, particularly after COVID-19 revealed Nigeria lacked even that, but here we are today with nothing close to the improved health system hat was promised.
....

APC is a government of promises and lies!

Wife of a serving senator benefiting heavily from corruption is not expected to condemn our protests.
Go find ya husband old saggy prik old madam teenage bride. Next time learn to shutit

She is probably vying for the position of"Tinubu's wife's best friend" in Remi's next vegetable planting campaign video. So leave her alone! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

This is another example of the bad governance that Nigerians are calling for an end to.
