∆ What exactly is tinubu plan? Let's analyze tinubu plan... Let's ignore his health issues, corruption and nepotism
What exactly is tinubu plan
Borrow to build infrastructure?
Pay 20k to millions of people? And what? I really want to know this tinubu plan that Buhari did not do and fail. We are paying more subsidies than we have ever paid, we are defineding the naira. What exactly is this plan

Dem don dey borrow to build infrastructure for Nigeria for the last 25 years of Nigeria's Democracy and do you know what? Nigeria still lacks basic infrastructure even as we speak. How come?

No clean water supply to homes
No sewage and water management system
No waste management system
No good schools and services
No Internet connectivity to homes and businesses
No electricity supply to homes and businesses
No real Healthcare system
Terribly poor road network systems
Rail system is still nothing to write home about
No decent passenger rail systems
Terrible prison facilities /system
Lack of decent police presence in communities around the country
....

What is Tinubu still borrowing money for again after the Trillions wey him don already borrow with nothing to show for it all?

↪“We have two security personnel working in the church; one was on duty while the other was off. When the protest began around 10:00 am, the hoodlums just diverted to the church, many of them in Keke Napep (tricycle), broke the door and windows and entered the church auditorium.

Protestors are not driving around in Keke Napeps though, so why blame the protestors for what seemed an organized operation?

Meanwhile, citizens have raised N1.8m for a protester, Ogwu Chijioke, who admitted he had been struggling to support his son’s ambition to become a programmer.
Chijioke, who participated in the demonstrations on August 1, shared his story with Channels Television at the Lekki Toll Gate.
In the interview, Chijioke lamented that despite his son’s talent in programming, he was unable to afford necessary resources like data and tuition fees.
The interview went viral on Saturday, drawing widespread sympathy and support on social media.

A big Shout out to all South Easterners who came out to protest in droves against Bad Governance! They stood up to their bullies whose presence were not noticed due to the large turnouts. Even Oro no show after their many disgraceful threats.

mikkamuert:
but doesn't he sell to foreigners also??

That's if they are buying to further refine it for themselves. 32 ppm is at least 3 times the acceptable standard in the EU where Dangote claims he sells his AGO and Jet fuel.

aminulive:
“In terms of quality, when we started, our quality was about six hundred to six fifty ppm, the ppm was one of the best in terms of quality at the time we started. But as of today, we are at 87 ppm. And you can take a sample on Monday. By Monday, we will be less than 50 ppm. By the beginning of August, we will be at 10 ppm.”
“In terms of quality, nobody can produce anything better than us. I just got the result from our official 5 minutes ago, we are now down to even 32 ppm,” – Aliko Dangote (Credits: Nairametrics)
In the heat of his bickering with oil sector regulators, Aliko Dangote, CEO of Dangote Refinery, claimed that the diesel fuel produced by his refinery had low sulphur content.

Wetin me i know be say U.S Standard na 15 ppm whereas Europe Standard na 10 ppm. So even the 32 ppm wey Dangote announce no fly at all.

∆ No,that is the reason people keep protesting.You sounded as if the masses are not making any efforts to hold their leaders accountable.

No! The masses are doing exactly what ought to be done. This is what our parents and their parents before them should have done and done it right. But because they choose to believe the many lies their so-called leaders and politicians fed to them, their children and children's children are paying dearly for it today and may continue to if this problem is not absolutely nipped once and for all.

My hope is that the death of those who went out to protest this time around would not be in vain; only the Nigerian people can decide that for them.

Ojiofor:
∆ Those that were shot dead by the military and police during ENDSARS protest came out to hold their government responsible only to be killed.
Today people are protesting against bad governance in a bid to hold their government resposnsible but the government have refused to be responsible.

So? Do you stop demanding change because the opposition fights back? I don't follow at all. Do you, for example know how many people died to buy the people their rights and freedoms they have today in America?

chiagozien:
The issue here is Igbos are not move by threats by cowards.

They should not be either. That is why I am particularly proud of those of them who freely protested across the country outside fo the South East this last 3 days. Why should a people cower when they have no real reason to do so?

Sweetphronesis:
According to the SA to Governor SanwoOlu, Mr Jubril Gawat, on Sunday August 4 2024, the Lagos protesters have dispersed from the venue. Ojota is clear on day 4 of the proposed 10 days of rage.

Rather, the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria folks announced they would take it to their churches and record the reactions of their pastors.

Ojiofor:
↪ Yet nobody was held responssible.What a country!

The ones to hold those in government responsible are the people though.

↪ Democracy is NOT a Government for the people by the thieves and the corrupt.
↪ Democracy is NOT a Government for the thieves by the thieves.
↪ Democracy is NOT a Government for the rich by the rich.
↪ Democracy is NOT a Government for the people by the rich.

Rather, Democracy is Government for the people by the people.

↪ Did you protest? And what positive change has your street noise-making brought? This is the time for real people to go inside and think up solutions, not jumping around to make empty noise and engage in wanton destruction like value-deficient low-living Africans that they are.

Well, according to my uncle who lives in the South East, they have been barred from roaming outdoors for over 4 years now. How has that exercise of going inside to think up solutions helped any of those in the South East? Prescribing a solution that has yielded nothing even after 4 whole years... a combined one year of inaction .... where does that take you?

Welcum:
↪There aren't more guns turned at people in SE than in your BokoHaramBandit-ravaged North where the protest is most popular. So, your argument has no wings to fly.

Guns that ransack and are in many cases perceived as killing villages indiscriminately in the Southeast, you wish for me to compare to guns in the North that have on several occasions been noted to have bailed merely at word that BokoHaram was in the area? Are you and those who reason like you trying to mess with me or something?

↪ Suit yourself, I've given you a piece of info you should make use of. Gat no time for banters

You pissed down my back and told me it was rain; what the fk?

InvertedHammer:
↪Have you ever seen a society that is homogenously rich in the same proportion? So by my statement you assumed that it is my opinion that everyone in the SE is Dangote?

Again, for you to read and properly digest this time around.

There are so many in the South East who do not have that lifeline from abroad to suckle from. So, try to be considerate; consider the plight of members of the same population who have no helpers to rescue them from the suffering that is Nigeria.

↪Some indigenes have asked Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to clarify details of the Lekki Free Trade Zone land sold to Aliko Dangote, owner of the Dangote Refinery. https://gazettengr.com/lagos-indigenes-write-sanwo-olu-demand-details-of-dangotes-100-million-land-purchase/

Dangote opened a can of worms on the Lagos State Government. 🤔
Kudos to the people of Lagos State for pursuing this issue. 😀😀😀😀😀

https://dailytrust.com/protest-police-begin-house-to-house-search-to-recover-loot-in-kano/

OP, how does one go about verifying the claims made since I have yet to see any other source for this except this particular news media. Given that earlier today, a police commissioner or official was caught disseminating pictures from previous years, we must make certain all claims made are related to this present protest.

Rossikk:
↪Paraphrasing an irate northerner:
''They incited our youths online to go around vandalizing the north.
We thought everybody was going to do the same in their own region. Only to see that as our cities BURNED in the north, with buildings and vehicles set ablaze, the rest of the country, especially the South East, was a picture of tranquility, silence and peace.
Leading us to wonder If we are in the same Nigeria as them. Or they reached a different agreement among themselves not to protest. If so, why didn't they tell us? It is most unfair.
Henceforth, count us out of future protests. We will wait to see that you are destroying your own side first, then maybe we will join later.
Shege barawo banza, all of you!''.

Bullsheeet!!!

MichaelSokoto:
↪Baba, I supported Buhari then in d hope dat he would help us put our refineries back in shape since Jonathan couldn't man up & do it... But immediately he announced dat he would support Dangote to build a refinery, dat there was no need to fix ours, dat was wen I realized dat we have all entered a bigger pot of soup! Immediately I started withdrawing my support from him! God 4give us! but still no regret removing GEJ!

The same Buhari supposedly spent $19 billion fixing those Nigerian refineries oo!

Buhari Spent Over $19bn Used For Dangote Refinery In Failed Bid To Revive Nigeria’s Refineries, Says Gov Sule

Ojiofor:
↪APC and Sanwo Olu said nobody died during Endsars protest.

They obviously lied since ECOWAS has convicted the Nigerian Government for all of that.

Pinkybush:
↪Though I'm not from the South east, I really recommend them for staying put, because when we all had the chance to right the wrong by voting capable hands to manage the affairs of Nigeria, some low life fools from north and south west did otherwise. It is better they are the ones protesting. It shows how stupid they are. 2027, they will still repeat the same foolishness and expect miracle to happen. Bunch of FOOLS

Let's stop this abeg!

The Nigerian constitution allows the Nigerian people to change their minds and take back their mandate; this is particularly useful in the case that they are no longer satisfied with the person they have given it to. So, please dead this nonsense about how people were warned and all of that. It is in the past. Now, Nigerians know they made a mistake and are now giving the man one last chance before they fire him. That is where we are now.

By the way, the argument had been that the man was not unanimously elected by the Nigerian people; the vote counts serve as evidence of this. So, I think it is unfair to blame any one person or group for Tinubu being in power. The man somehow rigged himself in, and one of the good things Nigerians are calling for is a complete abandonment of the 1999 Constitution to implement a new one voted for by the people that would contain checks and balances to ensure a Tinubu never happens to Nigerians again.

Kingri:
↪ Did any of them call you on phone to tell you that he or she is dieing of hunger? You sound stupid

Wait a second... are you seriously trying to argue right here and now that there is no hunger in the South Eastern States of Nigeria? Are you really trying to declare that the suffering and dying that is Nigeria today does not affect those in the South Eastern States?

Maxxim:
↪ It’s obvious that your knowledge are limited about how Nigerian politics work and the influence that tribal leaders and religious scholars, especially in the north, have over different groups. I'll leave you to it. Goodnight.

Your kind is so full of bullsheet abeg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

43Ronin:
Igbos have mentally disconnected from Nigeria that's why they did not protest. It happens when you have few wise people among a Congregation of fools. Frustrated by foolish decisions, the wise ones decide to have the fools bathe in their Tom foolery

The Yorubas, Hausas, and everyone else living in the same South East also mentally disconnected themselves from Nigeria, abi? I honestly don't know what you folks gain from telling yourselves these obviously bullsheet lies!

gaskiyamagana:
↪ You only postponed "Do me l do you" from other zone against your zone. When the time comes, then he who laughs last laugh best.

Which people for which zone come get time for that one when the primary concern of all those who are out there protesting is better government beginning right there where they live?

Maxxim:
↪ Stop contradicting yourself.
↪ If you think the causes of the current hunger protests in the north and south are aligned, you're just a naive political student. If you were paying attention, you'd have noticed the northern uproar started with the regionalism bill, which highlights the nepotism within each tribe in this country.

1. Are you certain you understand the meaning of the word contradiction at all? 🤔

2. LOL... so, what you are saying is that even though the many, mostly illiterate northerners who went out across the North, some from IDP camps in the zone, came out because they were considered about some regionalism bill? Kai! Some of you just dey pack bullsheet around like say na gold, I tell ya! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

kingsclass:
Residents of Southeast decisions not to participate in the ongoing protest is not influenced by Uzodinma or any other person,rather it will aggravate the insecurity in the area.The military men stationed in the Southeast will see it as an avenue to kill as many youths as they can,and tag them as IPOB terrorists that hijacked the protests.The Southeast is wiser this time.

The military is in the South East courtesy of the South East Governments declaring IPOB unwanted in the zone. So, how could you not say that Uzodinma is not a reason for this? Couple that with the presence of Simon Ekpa thugs in the region and people — Igbos and non-Igbos — living in the region have more than enough region to sit the protest out in fear.

Amucha:
↪ Are other tribes not living in the South East? They too can start the protest in the South East

How can they do that with your Government right there in the South East and Simon-Expa both threatening the lives of all those living in the region? Are their guns turned against only those of Igbo descent in the south East?

omooba05:
Igbos have taken over as the new betrayals in Nigeria

Lies! They were beaten into cowering both by their government and Simon Ekpa, those terrorizing the South East. Use your brain for a bit. In the South East, you also have Hausas, and Yorubas, among others who live among the people in the region. Ask yourself why they too did not come out yesterday. Certainly, you don't think they too are against the protest in Nigeria?

Welcum:
↪ To be honest, the paranoid attitude of other Nigerians towards Igbos is getting too hilariously ridiculous. One Yoruba woman even went viral for her narratives that some fellow Yorubas tagged her 'omo Ibo' without a single reason for the bizarre conclusion. ....SOURCE

Nonsense!

That same paranoid attitude did not stop Igbos living outside of the South East from rising up to protest all through yesterday and today but somehow it is enough of a reason for why the Igbos living comfortably in the South East chose not to protest. Rubbish! Look, at these many lies you feed yourselves do not help you or anyone else in that country called Nigeria. The moment you all begin to tell yourselves the truth is the moment you will be able to break away from the cage you continue to build around yourselves as a people and a nation. The same applies as far as every other tribe in Nigeria as it is since you all seem to be comfortably wallowing in all of your the many lies you have created around yourselves.

Elsueno:
Mehn..... Nigerians are freaking toast
They had a chance to bring the political elites on their knees & get what they want.
Instead, the Igbos are busy pretending that it has nothing to do with them.( These ones always suvk at political manuvares & always go ALL IN on what's highly likely to fail or put them in deeper SHYT as usual)
Yorubas as usual playing both sides, they have those who protest & those who worship tinibu as thier new found god.
Northern abok#s are just too cowardly & hungry to concentrate plus easily manipulated by their leaders.( Majority lack clear purpose & too afraid of their political elite

These divisive Nigerians are truly their own worst enemy!

Maxxim:
↪ What you know isn't fact, quote me with real fax/ data. Abeg no stress me

So, the President and his many senators who have come out to speak against the protest are not APC? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Abeg, make I waka pass, o'jare!
