↪ especially here in imo state Is now that I believe that insecurity and unrest is caused by Government.
Just a day to protest imo state became a town of gunshot the military and police shooting carelessly who are they shooting at no one it is just to scare people not to protest tomorrow

Thank you for confirming what I had been saying all day long which is that those in the South East did not come out because they feared their government or the terrorist groups in the area would target them. And something tells me that that Senator Benjamin dude and the governors in the zone must have planned all those scare tactics too. For the man to come out in public to basically threaten that the Igbos would be killed off for nothing if they came out means he probably had an idea of what was in store.

Notasyouthink:
↪How do you know that south Easterners living outside of SE joined the protest?
↪Besides, what I said is nothing but the truth.

I spent the whole entire day watching protest video after protest video and I saw a lot of them introduce themselves and their state of origin as well when speaking. One particular guy from Anambra with his friend from Benue spoke in a video of ho they had to accept a Naira 5000 bribe from some people who approached them to protest against the protest. "They were hungry,", they said, but they refused to carry the cardboard because they did not agree with the, "No protest" agenda they were paid to support. Several others said the same thing.

2. There is no truth to any of what you claimed at all since there is no time in the post-war Nigerian record that the Igbo tribe has been targeted for elimination by the military.

Cajal:
↪ Oyo wey 23rd of the land mass na arable land. Dey protest hunger

You forgot to mention that many of their farmers have been butchered by herders and crops destroyed by Cattle. If Northerners who have more land than Oyo, are protesting for the same reason, why can't Oyo?

papyjaypaul, please inform me when you create the thread, so I can help load it up with searched-up facts from my end.

papyjaypaul:
...

I think you should create an entirely new thread on the subject so as to educate others on this fact abeg! Most of us don't even know this at all. I was not tuned into Nigeria myself during the EndSars so all I have at the bits and pieces I have been able to pull together from here and there from my investigation of the event.

#EndBadGovernance Protest in Numbers
Day 1 ...copied

Source, please!

edogu:
I think we owe this man an apology.

Rubbish! The man was part of those who helped create the current condition in Nigeria and should be brought to answer for it when his turn to be investigated comes! PDP, APC, and every other group that contributed to fking up the Nigerian Democracy, all need to be queried and made to answer to the Nigerian people, without exception!

JUST IN: Security agencies have uncovered Senator sponsoring #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest – Wike https://punchng.com/just-in-security-agencies-have-uncovered-senator-sponsoring-endbadgovernance-protest-wike/?amp

Given the pushback against the people yesterday, Wike already knows what is coming. The people intend to come back today, and my hope is they at least find him still in Abuja probably showing his true colors like the weasel he really is.

wiseoneking:
I though no body was killed. Isi akpu

Are you some sort of imbe—cile?

Birniwa:
At least no less than 10 unarmed protesters were killed by his stup!d boys. He didn't even bother to mention that in his yeye statement but was quick to say that one police man was killed. Hidiot IGP, protest must continue until the FG finds a reason to do what's right.

I believe the claim that a policeman was killed was a lie! The picture of a police man who looked more like he was playing dead on the floor was posted at 7:46 AM yesterday morning on twitter, long before protesters arrived to begin their protest. Imagine the wickedness!

sIfioksq:
The real protest should be about unity and progress, not just sentiments. Let's focus on how to move Nigeria forward rather than tearing down our leaders. Tinubu's government has the potential to bring about the change we need if we support constructive dialogue and collaboration. Let's channel our energies into building a better Nigeria together.

You cannot fill a bucket using a basket. These criminals in office are proven baskets, and they are responsible for the lack of progress in Nigeria in the last 25 years. The baskets need to be emptied of all they have stolen and made examples of so that future baskets would know to steer clear of Nigerian politics.

Nigeria does not need leaders; the people are all the power that is needed in this democracy. What Nigeria needs are servants of the people who are willing and able to do whatever is necessary to help move the people forward, one policy at a time.

Sheerbliss:
If we really want change in governance, we should not blame TUNUBU alone. The Governors and the LGA Chairmen must be included in this. Oftentimes we blame the president alone but forgot that the money are shared between the Federal , State and LGA. Now allocation has increased by 40-80% depending on States. We leave the LGA and Governors and focus on the Federal government. Some of us are supporting the Governors but carry placards to demonstrate against the Federal government. Is that not foolishness?

This fact is not lost on the protestors as it is why protestors in Kano and Kaduna went straight, on day one, to their Government house while people in some other states attempted their LGA offices. Let's hope that over the next coming days, others will go for the Government House, and LGA(non-violently of course), as well as the State House of Assembly, Courts, and maybe eventually police stations.

Sheerbliss:
What is the Governor and LGA Chairmen in your State doing? Are they not part of those sharing Nigeria revenue?
Can you be bold to tell your Governors to leave. Hold your Governor accountable, then I will know you are serious. For now you are just catching fun and deceiving yourself

Kano, Jigsaw and I believe Kaduna did that yesterday. The other states will likely do same in coming days. So relax!

Mccollins042:
∆ Yet it doesn't make Igbos as lazy and unproductive as the yaribas

Says who? How does any of what I said connect to the conclusion you reached there?

Diligence:
Add States Governors of Niger & Borno States & FCT Minister, add their names & let's send them to these bodies: US, EU Embassies...UN, ICJ for the killing of, unleashing of unprovoked violence against Nigerians..

Additionally, if we could get the names of the dead — pictures, profiles, and more— out there to help sensitize the Nigerian people on why these killings should not be condoned. So many Nigerians have lost their humanity out there no thanks to the bigotry and hatred spewed at them by the religious and political class over the years. A lot of people don't even reason that these people were murdered by their government, all for standing up for their right to protest.

DJInfluence:
How the death of your fellow humans is funny that you are laughing is beyond me. We have lost all humanity. Irrespective of what led to their death, we should be condemning this act in unison. Nothing justifies the killing of our citizens especially when unarmed period! Imagine people liking what you are saying too. Am really shocked at what we have become.

Some Nigerians are just too far gone, it seems!

Mace0lane:
↪In you delusion after Tinubu go you think a Pandora criminal like Peter Obi will then come ba ?!

Was Obi the only other candidate even on the 2023 ballot when you voted? Even Sowore, whose name was on that list would have done a lot better than Tinubu, who like his predecessor, has spent billions with absolutely nothing to show for it except more suffering and uncertainly for the Nigerian people.

Tinubu must go if Nigeria is to have a chance to wake up in this generation from this 25-year coma marred in corruption and incompetence. Otherwise, it will be another, maybe 50 years, before it gets a chance at it.

↪ Stop fooling yourself. Can budget be run without approval of Senate? Yes or no?

I see you are merely trying to argue foolishly, so I will leave you to it! 🤔

forgiveness:
∆ Can there be budget without the approval of Senate? It's a yes or no answer.
We don't need Google.

Clearly, you need Google here since you obviously do not understand how your own government works..

forgiveness:
∆ Dude! Do you think budget can be made without the final approval of Senate? Menh!!!! Education is poor in this country.

Again, Please use Google to find out and learn what a Bill is and how it becomes Law before you continue so you can be better informed about how your Government works this protest period. I promise you that the knowledge will come in handy in the next couple of days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

forgiveness:
∆ Are you a novice? Reverse what has been passed by the national assembly? Menh!!!! You no..m

What was passed by the National assembly? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

∆ Igbo matter no let you sleep. Keep vigil.

Lagospedia,is that you abi na your brother?

abbeyfel:
Do you have proof the money isn't his?

Proof to me that the money is his! Show us records of this man maybe running a lucrative company or something from where he sources the funds to purchase such a lavish lifestyle at least. I am waiting!

It is for this reason I am all for the complete scrapping of the current House of Reps and Senate, and the return to the old part-time parliamentary system where members had to keep their own day jobs and only earned a small allowance—next to nothing—from their gig in Government. Nigeria can no longer afford this current foolishness and all those who have greedily had their hands on the people's money need to be made to vomit it all back out.

MIKOLOWISKA:
↪so you want the thugs to continue being violent to the protesters. And how will govt separate the 2. You cannot win this particular game. New strategy is required. I'm not saying ppl should not do something. I'm saying this particular one will not work. Peace VS violence. Violence wins every time. Need another tactic cos this ain't it

Do you stay indoors after dark, do you lock yourself in your house because you are afraid that you would be mistaken as one of the violent criminals out there by the cops or something? I don't understand or follow your reasoning at all.

Santalpharay:
↪Has anybody come to beg you money for food from the south East because of sit at home?. We decided to play the spectators regarding this protest. Regarding the Monday sit at home, some people actually said that if forced them to take a break from business induced stress because of too much busy running around for money and they forget to slow down, rest, and reflect on their health. One guy who is actually wealthy has let his family know that they don't wake him up on this special sleep on Mondays. Summary, south Easterners always use the stones thrown at them to build castle.

Nonsense!

leisuretym:
↪The Bobo Chicago should go back to Lagos and continue his owo mi da business, Nigeria is too fragile to impose excessive taxes on the populace while you and your goons dine with luxury spoons, Akpabio is not fit anywhere in governance, he should have retired to joke factory after serving as a governor in Akwa Ibom, it's expensive insensitive jokes in the Senate are salt on injuries, plus international disgrace to the entire federation

I am afraid that cannot be the case anymore since Nigeria is near broke and would need to depend on just that, taxing the people, to pay for its government. Your politicians have, in the last 25 years of your democracy, succeeded in siphoning much of what Nigeria has to spend, away into their pockets; all this was done while the people watched on by the way, ignoring warning after warning of what was to come if nothing happened.

obaidan:
Ideally yes. But sadly the Nigerian leaders are just a reflection of the Nigerian masses too. What may happen is that the government will flash some bread and some protesters will be like, e dun do na, the man dun dey answer small, lets give him time. An average Nigerian will stand for their pocket and that is why the oppressors will always be steps ahead, the aggrieved can be bought for a morsel of food.
Very soon palliatives will roll out now and the noise will disappear

The Government already tried bribing the people with food and cash, particular in the North, and we all see how that didn't work at all. So, here's hoping they have indeed reached the end of their rope and are ready to do whatever it takes to take back power..

Palinz:

Stop lying, you twats! The picture you posted was taken in November of 2022

obaidan:
Why do people even think protest will work. You think ur oppressors do not know they are oppressing you, so it is u speaking up and protesting that will make ur oppressor have a renewed mind. No one negotiates his freedom his captor and gets real freedom. See d independence that was given to Nigeria. Once it is via negotiation, u are only renegotiating the terms of your bondage.
If you guys are not going to chase these oppressors away violently, just forget it.

The protests are there to help build up momentum— the critical mass—necessary for the eventual chasing of criminals out of office.
