If you've got fams like this you just don't know what God has done for you

You cannot have a family like this if you’re not like this. God doesn’t do this kinda things for us. It’s as it is.
If you’re like this, there’s a good chance that most members of your family will be like this.

englishmart:
Before I collect money from my siblings, I need to write a 450-word proposal. That doesn't even guarantee anything.
In this life, pray to have caring people around.

Tax collector…why not pray to be a caring person yourself.

Throwback:
I hope you will vote Sowore as you have seconded his manifesto?

Or how do you explain that over 22million Nigerians voted for Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi, all of whom promised to remove oil subsidy?

Meanwhile, the candidate who promised not to remove oil subsidy only got over 14,000 votes in all of Nigeria.

Removing oil subsidy is the goal, but you cannot do it at the detriment of the people. That’s why it isn’t an easy thing to do. But Tinubu made it look so easy because of his lack of compassion.
I can tell you that floating the Naira didn’t really affect the people, so that one is an ok policy, but it will take a super heartless person to remove oil subsidy at the time Tinubu did.
It’s like throwing away the bath water and baby. It was absolutely thoughtless.

Skooltynz:
The trick is simple whenever any uprising want to take place in Nigeria just blame the igbos for it it will always works.

You are looking for someone to insult the Igbos so that you will scream ‘tribalism’.
I don’t know what you enjoy in that.

EyeCumInPiss:
Nonsense! If there was not this level of hardship orchestrated primarily by Tinubu's removal of subsidy, there wouldn't have been protests.


The bolded is fallacy.
Going by INEC results, when you add all the votes for Atiku, Obi and other parties, they are far more than Tinubu's votes.
Infact only 36.6% voted for Tinubu while remaining 63.4% didn't vote for him and that represents people who did not want him to be president.

Nobody is talking about this enough. This is exactly the selfishness that has never happened in Nigeria before that made Tinubu and APC won the presidency.
I’m the most serious advocate of anti-Tinubu, but he won the election free and fair.
We go wise next time.

saddler:
Dem go say na igbo man do this thing

Go away with all this Igbo talk.
And I was thinking the Yorubas wer the tribal bigots.
Una nor dey tire. Anytime the Yoruba people keep quiet about this tribal thing, you people will just find a way to wake them up. Do you enjoy it?
Any small thing, Igbo this, Igbo that. We are discussing Nigeria here pls. Make una carry una Igbo and Yoruba fight somewhere else.

phantom:
😂 Just watch the ronu bastards rush here like the sewer rats they are to scream "igbo" in 5...4...3....2...1...

Okay just imagine. I’ve been blasting the Yoruba people since not knowing that you guys are the ones instigating them on this tribalism. Do you enjoy it?

Racoon:
Their hatred, bigotry, resentment and skewed narrative against the igbo man have been their morbid fear, dread and obsession from antiquity.

Imagine the voltrics of the likes of Bayo Onanuga, MC Oluomo, efulefu Joe Igbokwe, Lauretta Onochie, and all the mummified zombie miscreants in desperately trying in futility to turn the #endbadgovernanceinNigeria protests as an Igbo affair?

Oga you rest for this Igbo matter now, haba.
I understand that there are some few tribalistic Yoruba people that are tickling you with their tribalism talk, but it is not as bad as you are making it seem.
All your post na just Igbo this and that.
This is Nigeria we’re talking about, not Igbo.

Obiedun:
Your personal lord Obi will never be president.

I say amen to this. Although it doesn’t stop Tinubu from being the most useless president ever.

Don’t you see what they are doing to the internet since yesterday.
What exactly did we do to deserve someone like Tinubu. Out of fear of Tinubu winning, I campaigned and voted for Atiku and Tinubu still won.
I always knew that man is a devil since that incident that removed Gov Ambode.
When I saw he was coming in 2021, I knew we are in trouble.

franchasng:
Northerners think say na only them get useless leaders, we Southerners go show una pepper


You gave us a failed clueless Buhari, we don return am with Tinubu una come de make noise.


Una gave us Hajia Sadiku weh Thief trillions in 8 years, we gave u Northerners wotowoto with Betta Edu weh collect billions in few weeks


Una carry Hopeless Uzodinma install am by force as Governor for Imo state to scatter Imo state, we don return Emir Sanusi and Emir Bayero together make them burn down Kano state, una think say una get sense ba



Una carry wasted Ahmed Lawan give us as Senate President, we don give una Godswill Akpabio aka Akpamgbo



Nobody get monopoly of stupid people, we all have our own

We Southerners nor support you on this one abeg. This one don pass revenge mission.
You cannot be revenging someone and killing yourself in the process.
We prefer the useless Buhari to this devil of a president.

trutharena:
These children should be in school, not blocking roads and causing chaos. It's sad to see them being used as tools for protests; the real agenda is lost on them.

You’re saying the right thing, but not from their POV.
Someone was saying that the mentality of those who have eaten for the past 100days is different from those who hardly see food to eat in that period.
You just made their point.
A hungry person only has one problem.
You just saw things the same way the useless government do.

TemplarLandry:
Great HelluPee actress.


You claim to be hungry, yet your grip on your mobile phone is akagum-strong.


She deserves an Oscar (horse car).

No.., she should throw away the mobile phone because an idiot is president.

Engrjamjam:
IPOBS and battling each other is like 5&6!

They hate each other just the way failed Obi hates Soludo.

All Obidients are looters!

Hiding and looting in Kaduna and Kano.

lol..and I used to take all this kind of comments seriously before 😂

sIfioksq:
What a sight to behold! A woman with an empty pot joining the protest in Ojota. This is what we call a grand show of desperation.

While some are genuinely hungry for change, others are merely hungry for attention. The empty pot is a perfect metaphor for the empty promises these protests bring.

Instead of uniting to build, we are busy parading our woes for the world to see. When will we learn that no amount of noise will fill those pots if the leaders remain deaf to our cries?

After exploring every civil means possible, this appears to be a last resort.
When you keep filling a cup with water and undermining its volume capacity, it will overflow.

ALTERNATEID:
Eeyah! But Peter Obi the delusional winner of the 2023 election and the man who made him win with a single tweet congratulated him first o without getting a response. So, when is he calling our Gbajue Twitter president?

You should be happy Peter Obi contested in the election. It would’ve been a straight forward victory for Atiku.
I said ‘you’ as if you’re benefiting anything from this current useless president.

ifytrik:
I don't understand what this people mean by we can not pay 70 thousand naira minimum wage, is it that the institution managed by this workers are unproductive or what? If yes then why run an institution that is not productive? Just for employment sake? The main reason people choose private school over government school today is not because their are no learned teachers in government schools, as a matter of fact their are more qualified teachers in government schools than private, the problem is, this government schools just like any other government institution in the country are not properly managed, most government school teachers only attend classes once or twice in a week, same with headmasters and principals, who will punish the teachers for not attending classes? Is it the principal that's also at home? Or the Education ministry workers that are also at home? The problem of Nigeria is nobody is ready to carry out his duty, majority of the so-called workers that are clamouring for minimum wage increase are not doing their work.
To solve this problems once and forever, any political office holder that is underperforming should be voted out, any voter that collect bribe before casting his or her vote should be giving one hundred strokes of cain, any institution that is not productive should be scrapped and workers that are not performing their duties properly should be laid of.

This is the main thought entering my head when I hear ‘pay salary’ and ‘minimum wage’.
It almost look like our government workers are getting compensation for being Nigerians and not salary for doing an actual result-oriented job.

DeLaRue:
I am in a South West state for an assignment.

There is zero talk of protests here. People are mostly not interested.

I think there's more protest talk going on online that in the real world.

Abuja, and some states will have a few protests here and there, but in many states, it will be mostly business as usual.

People underestimate how much an average citizen fear the ruthlessness of Nigerian police and the armed forces in a riot scenario.

You might say it would be a peaceful protest, but once you gather with strangers you know nothing about, you'll not have a say in whether things remain peaceful or riotous.

All you need for things to go from good to bad is just one protester throwing a stone or object that lands on a Police man that draws blood. Another exasperated police may, in that instant, fire a live bullet, and in the process down one or 2 protesters. Then all hell breaks loose, in a flash.

It is not worth it. Stay away.

Unfortunately for some people, it is actually worth it. It is the last resort.
You may not see it that way. But there’s nothing you can do to stop a person from fighting for their lives.

Women 😳

Smartcitizen:
Hmmmm!


IF JONATHAN WAS THE PRESIDENT,


JUST IMAGINE WHAT MANY YORUBA PEOPLE WILL BE DOING HERE NOW.


FEAR YORUBA PEOPLE FOR NIGERIA TO WORK.

😎😎😎😎😎😎

Stop this useless tribalistic talk. It’s not helping.
Alot of Yoruba activists and non Igbos are playing an instrumental role in this protest.

A handful of Yoruba celebs are supporting this useless government and that’s totally normal. It doesn’t mean every Yoruba is supporting them.
It’s only natural that some indigenous persons cannot see beyond tribe. It happens everywhere. Even among Igbos.
The ratio of Igbos that voted for Obi is greater than the average Yoruba votes that Tinubu got.
For Gods sake, stop this stupid tribalistic talk.
You will not die if you ignore any Yoruba person initiating it.
Lets focus on getting this people towards hearing us.

CilicMarin:
No pictures, No video... Perhaps a handful of misguided elements trying to justify their pay.

Daily Trust and Sahara Reporters are working overtime to incite Nigerians to protest...but unfortunately it is not working at all...

Do you know what’s funny.
People don’t need Daily Trust or Sahara Reporters to tell them they are hungry.
The protest is 100% spontaneous and there’s no other choice.

Faiththatworks:
NNPCL is mad and crazy. Whoever gave this suggestions about NNPCL being an offtaker is just trying with another format to bring back subsidy.
NNPCL is the worst government organisation In the last 10 years, I'm not a tribalistic man but I believe those Hausa and Fulani people have totally failed at NNPCL.
Asiwaju must use his nepotistic tendencies in cleansing the clueless and parasitic Fulani and Hausa elements in that organization.
How can the clueless Fulani and Hausa elements in that organization still be in charge eight months after they told us the Port-Harcourt Refinery will start working,how they are still employed really baffles me.
I believe there's a simple solution to cheap fuel in Nigeria, especially from Dangote Refinery.
Instead of the parasitic element in NNPCL paying for subsidy on Refined fuel,they should subsidize the crude oil.
No Kobo should be paid to Dangote in the form of subsidizing refined products,let the NNPCL and the dirty cabal in the organization give Dangote the local crude production at a discounted rate and fix the price of Refined products but the thieves in NNPCL will never go that route.
If Asiwaju doesn't sack these criminals in NNPCL then I believe he's a direct benefit of the economic crime they are commiting against their

All this time, you think Tinubu doesn’t know this.
Dangote refinery is going to reveal alot of underground stuff going on here. Just watch.

Salewa97:
These two are just playing to the gallery.

While Obi is busy trying to prove he's still relevant, Otti is simply trying to ride the wave of popularity. Both of them will end up achieving nothing significant.

Obi's protest will be another flop, just like his presidential ambition. When will he learn that shouting on the streets doesn't equate to real change?

If he spent half the energy he uses for protests on actual governance when he had the chance, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess. Protesting won't change the fact that he lost the election.

Peter Obi losing the Presidential elections has nothing to do with what people are protesting for.
What is really enough for those of you defending this useless government? A piece of yam that was sold for 600naira last year is going for 6-7k now. If that is normal to you, then you shouldn’t be among the living.

princepeter566:
Vote tinubu..
Get tinubu...
Enjoy tinubu....
We warned them but, they were concerned about Peter obi

Why did you bring Obi’s name in there when he wasn’t even the runner-up?
Tinubu’s concern was Atiku and Obi made it easy for him.
I warned during the last poll that the best chance to get Tinubu out is to vote massively for Atiku. Any other thought will continue to end in wishful thinking.
Also, Obidients, being logical without insulting people won’t kill you. Try it.

manuelkel:
Oga go sit down, I go slap that lecturer go panel defend myself .

People with such mind do not make mouth on a faceless forum. They are usually quiet.
If we check well, you may be one thin broom that doesn’t even cough where your mates are talking.

successmatters:
Ok, thank you, I am leaving.

Protest and get arrested as suspect for all the people killed and goods looted, na police cell you go stay till Tinubu completes his 8 years.

People locked during endsars are still in prison.

I just left

Do you even have sense at all?
How can you arrest someone that is protesting?
What kind of people support Tinubu sef?🤦‍♂️

kcprince:
If Nigerians can unite , we can hold these people to be accountable .

Let us assume NLC allowed tribalism to divide them, I can tell you they wouldn’t have even be able to negotiate 40k minimum wage.But with unity they negotiated 70k

Look at ASUU. Government succeeded in registering another academic union thereby reducing the influence of ASUU and till today they cannot get their demand.

I would like to appeal to our Yoruba brothers to take it easy with this tribalism because last last it will consume all of us while the politicians will be laughing. By the way politicians are united and have no tribalism among themselves.

I’m not Yoruba o, if anything at all, I’m closer to Igbos than them. I hear Ibo a bit because I schooled at UNIZIK, but this your message should be delivered to Igbos.
That ‘us against the world mentality’ is always making Igbos feel oppressed and so, tend to unknowingly unite to fight against every tribe in Nigeria, which is not even possible.
That unity is destroying the chances of a good man like Obi and it is upsetting me.
Shun tribalism because some few Yorubas are enjoying this battle and using it to turn other sensible Yorubas against Igbos.
I’ve told you guys. Ignore any tribalistic statement or action from the few idiots from the South West and they will stop using it to their advantage.
Nobody can shame you with what you’re not ashamed of.

Iamgrey5:
Do you realize majority of comments made on this thread didn't condemned the Kogi state government or those in charge of distribution of the palliative


Majority of the comments made are simply political/Tribal statements to condemn Tinubu.

Anyone wondering what the August protest is all about?

But this is also a problem na.
The fact that you can’t see that the root of this issue traces back to FG is a very big problem on its own.
The palliatives were donated and disbursed by FG. They should be responsible enough to deliver it through the right channels.
When a group of thieves are leading a country, even if the head does something incorruptible, the act will most certainly be delivered as that of a thief.

Goodvibes007:
That's the Obidient Flagman.

There were discussions in Obidient vawulence space for some to start the protest and not wait for the 1st of August, so that it does not fail due to oppositions to the protest springing up.

Obidient Flagman heed the call. Goodluck to him.

Omo see reasoning. U get brain o.

shizzleStar:
it's Igbo not ibo

So it's igbos that have been telling people "go to your region and protest"? Abi that one is not tribalism??

FOOL

Well I won’t insult you. But try to be sensitive to this things. Shun tribalism.

SensetionalGoal:
This is happening in the north yet helinues is fixated on propagating ethnic propaganda against south east

Helinues will rather insult Igbo than to face the north people who are openly calling for protest you won't hear pim from the likes of yerimo foools

Abeg leave this Igbo talk jare. You people are the ones instigating this tribalism talk.
We are talking about protest, you don put Ibo for the matter. Una nor dey taya!

JealousCobra:
..


If the story were the opposite u would have been the chief executioner

Unfortunately for you, I won’t.
Tribalism is bad for a country like Nigeria.
Igbos are actually the ones that awoke the other major tribes to tribalism with their
‘us against the world mentality’.
It is the reason why we have an incompetent man as president today.
