OPINION : Four Reasons You Should Think Before Joining The Nationwide Protest

By Wisdom Nwedene

Ahead of the planned nationwide protest scheduled to kick off on August 1st, 2024, I strongly believe that Nigerian Youth should think twice before joining the protest.

Though, there are genuine reasons for the protest but I have four strong reasons which made me to believe that this protest is not in the best interest of the country at the moment.

Below are my reasons

1. The organisers Of The Protest Are Faceless Individuals : It's crystal clear that those organising this protest are not known till now. I recommend that this type of protest should have leaders that should be calling the shots in case things go wrong. In a protest where everyone is a leader, many things can happen. The organisers should be at the forefront, leading the protesters and controlling the crowd so that things won't go wrong.

2. Thugs Can Hijack The Protest: It's very difficult to organise a peaceful protest in a country battling with bandits, criminals, hoodlums and expect things to go fine.

3. It's Still Early To Judge Tinubu’s Government : I still believe that it's too early to judge Tinubu’s Administration by leading this type of heavy protest against him. Despite that his policies are too harsh, Tinubu still needs time to address issues and bad policies of previous administrations.

4 All of us can still remember what happened during the EndSARS protest. Many lives were lost and property worth billions of Naira destroyed. How sure are we that this Nationwide won't degenerate to what happened during EndSARS protest? I think we should think twice. We can't afford to lose more lives and our national assets destroyed again just like what is happening in Kenya.

You have a good point with 1 and 2, but 3 and 4 indicate that you’re just one of the people in support of this useless government and your reasons are not in the best interest of the people. So no.

mrvitalis:
I just laugh at you guys supporting tinubu no wam

North would take over after 8 years and their president would make things worse too and they would defend it

Then minimum wage would be 25 dollars a month

No wahala it's all politics to u guys

The idiots think Tinubu is going to be there forever.

Paraman:
So far he's unleashing the rage in Ondo town, Akure or at his village in Ondo state, it's fine

Odẽ. Is Ondo State the only place in Nigeria?

Hushpuppy20:
If them born una well come out and protest, I will keep saying my own, the only moment you can show your strength is through your vote...firstly dethrone all their council chairman and councillors which means you are sending a message ahead of 2027.

If dem born you well, come out to say this nonsense on the 1st of August.
Be warned and schooled that the enemies of progress are not more than the people.

JASONjnr:
Falana should tell ibos to go to the east to protest.... Let everyone go back to their states of origin to protest.....

Let everyone go back to their state of origin to cry for bad governance.

Lagos is not Nigeria.

What kind of foolish statement is this?
People are not allowed to protest in any other country except Nigeria. Lagos is in Nigeria. The protest is on bad governance of Nigeria as a nation.

Goodvibes007:
They should call their Indigenes back to there states of origin. We don't want anarchist Obidient from Abia like the below in the SW 👇

The protest is mainly presidential not state. Please try to use your head.
Whether Ondo, Imo, Edo, Nassarawa, Nigeria is one and the focus of this movement is to prevent the current administration from burning it to the ground.

AdolfHitlerxXx:


Tinubu has done 1 year. He has 7 to go.

Wailers have fundamental rights to cry. Wouldnt shorten his tenure by a second though.

Even though I didn’t vote for him, this chaos is serving a very good purpose.
But if you’re not earning in dollars and you’re cheering this President on, the very least of your case is idiotic.
So personally, I want Tinubu to stay on for another 8years.

vanitybutiwanti:
He has pulled it off already, sorry bro

The fact that you people are supporting Wike in trying to run the state after his tenure had expired, explains your delusions and I can bet that you also voted for Tinubu.
God will disgrace all of you for aiding dubious criminals to leadership.

RodgersAkpafu:
I'm a man
whose name am I suppose to answer kwanu

Answer your wife’s name sir.
Why am I even calling you sir.

RodgersAkpafu:
she is not
she is answering her papa name
which btw is the way it is supposed to be

Okay no problem, keep answering your father’s name.

efighter:
It’s a new beginning, unfortunately if and when she gets there, she may propose laws to be making men to change their surnames to their wives’ maiden names after wedding

How can she do that when she’s answering her husband’s last name?

kingbee90:

My good people of Edo state. In all you do, never vote any candidate coming under the platform of the APC.

It will end in premium tears.

Na Edo suppose dey give you this advice.
APC is a forbidden party here in Edo State.

SmartPolician:
Although every Tom, Dick and Harry ought to earn a minimum wage, some employers would argue that if they have live-in maids whom they feed (considering how expensive foodstuff is now) and provide shelter for, they don't necessarily have to pay them 70k per month.

Anyways, I am more interested in state governors and LGA Chinamen paying the minimum wage - everything is expensive now. Any executive office holder who cannot pay it should resign.

Food and shelter are considered incentives. The employer is not obligated to provide those. The obligation is to pay 70k or more per month.
Besides, most of the employers providing shelter for maids are only doing so to keep them more than normal working hours.

Artscollection:
The worst thing about buhari n tinubu is that they don't care if their own mother is going to die as long as they are in aso rock and That's why they where never an option.

You are the only person that has said the main thing about these guys.
I always tell people that a leader without empathy is worse than a corrupt leader.

John505050:
The man is not like you Sir

And me sir. He’s definitely not like me too.

Ebigwei007:
no am not, he is part of the reason cement is nt cheap

The reason why cement and other products of value are not cheap is the floating of naira, introduced by the dumbest president we will ever see.

CyrusVI:
Guy rest!!!
Thats like 12years ago and most of these men are older now

U actually want them keep dfoing this to impress u


Dem Macaroni and Falz wey dey impress u sef, u no still hail them

U no because of them stop to dey cancel their tribe. No one owes u anything

U should’ve stopped at ‘they are older, more sensible and know better now’.
With the way things are now, it will be very unreasonable to say that people should not be upset.

senatordave1:
This is highly childish of you to call massive defection as noise.this manner of defection is unprecedented.you obviously don't know politics.you are losing key members of your team and you say it's just noise? Do you know more than asue,obaseki and fintiri that are lamenting about the defections? Are you aware that obaseki summoned an emergency meeting yesterday night to address the defections?

How dare you call 60k margin of victory barely against a sitting senator? Oshiomhole not only won the senate but all the 6 lgas,he delivered tinubu in Edo north and all the reps.obaseki lost his unit,ward and LGA.obaseki winning margin in 2020 was 70k.apc is winning this

I want to save this quote till September 22 and prove who the dumb quan is.

senatordave1:
Lol,if the people hate APC,why are they all defecting to APC?
The sitting governor cannot rig when he doesn't have federal power.the places he can rig are urban areas and it is very hard.apc and lp are very strong here.it is even APC that has the whole north to rig

The defections you are hearing is just usual noise we hear during election period.
The average Edo/Delta man dislikes APC.
Federal cannot possess any power in rigging State elections. Saying this alone shows how naive you are.
APC’s fate lies in the hands of Oshiomhole who barely won his Senatorial district. This will end like Omo-Agege in Delta State guber elections, so go and rest.

naturalman:
Tinubu will show this man shege pro Max.......when Port Harcourt refinery starts working, the price of PMS will be made cheaper in order to frustrate dangote refinery

Unfortunately, you need to be smart to make the price of PMS cheap.

senatordave1:
Distant win where? Even obaseki didn't have a distant win.cant you smell the victory of APC

Lemme school you.
Edo State do not want to hear the party ’APC’, Tinubu has made that even worse. So if the election is free and fair, LP might even top APC.
If the election is rigged, no one can do it better than the sitting governor.
APC has no place in Edo State.

yarimo:
Is like even the PDP governoship candidate want to withdraw from the race 🤣🤣 edo no be Lagos

If you need a template, refer to the Bayelsa State gubernatorial poll.
You are very far from Edo State and absolutely know nothing.
PDP will have a distant win.
APC second and
LP third.

Save this somewhere.

yarimo:
According to majority of voters in edo state, INEC should just declare APC candidate winner as governor elect of edo state. just to avoid wasting of time and resources in that election. PDP, labour party and other political candidates already know that election is for APC candidate

Slowpoke, your eye go clear.

helinues:
Resign your position as a senator so that you can face the opposition work fully

If those who didn't benefits close to 20% of what you have been benefiting for decades and they did not die, nothing would happen to you if you are being sidelined this time.

He wants to be forming holy now..Where was he all through Buhari's 8 years?

Radarada

Why are you asking that question?
Buhari’s 8years was not this bad.
Things are three times as expensive since Buhari and you expect him to keep quiet.

Jayhome24:
Yes, it is only obi and obidients opposing this govt like a bittered idiots and that isxwhy they will constantly be receiving axe on their heads from me.

Atiku opposed thi govt but in a matured manner that is how a sensible opposition should play and not like obidient idiots opposition style by threatening, death wishes on people children, insulting all elders of our land across board, insulting traditional stools and our referred monarch, bullying, harrassing, intimidating, terrorism, disrespectful etc we will NOT sit and watch them go on like that ok so f u c k obi and fu-ck obidints very seriously.

Those of us that supported Atiku dislike obidients more.
If Obi had done the right thing by remaining in PDP and rallying with Atiku, Tinubu would have lost and we will not be experiencing this slippery slope.
I know you’re a Tinubu supporter, but imagine if this past one year continue in the next 7years, what do you think will become of Nigeria.
My point is, venting out your anger on obidients is not really necessary, now that we have an elephant in the room. You’re only making them popular and truth be told, APC won because of them.
Let’s call it what it is. Tinubu cannot do the job.
If APC can present another credible person say Osibanjo, I don’t care to know his tribe.
I will be their number 1 supporter.

Yusman316:
Kevin De Bruyne of Belgium was actually born in Burundi

Stop lying to make your point. At least, not now that there’s internet.
His mother was born by Belgian parents in Burundi. His father is Belgian and KDB was born in Drongin, Belgium.
This story absolutely corroborate my point.
If Burundi was a successful European nation and Belgium, a shit-hole African country, KDB would probably be playing for Burundi.
This☝️is exactly Bukayo Saka’s story.

Jayhome24:
Let's wait for obi and obidients morons they will soon be here with their empty skulls throwing banters and forget Rtd General Aziza a Niger Delta vibrant soldier was murdered during our own brother Gej through set-up-to-kill Helicoper crash for simply criticising Gej and PDP then saying "Boko Haram are PDP".

The Nigeria self made Osu's called obidients will be here soon like a slowpoke foaming from their anus with no critical thinking ability.

When a leader is messing up, it is only normal for criticism to come, especially from strong opposition.
By the way, who’s Obi and Obidient slowpoke?😂
Are Obidients the only ones opposing this useless government?
I don’t understand this constant abuse and bantering of Obi and his followers. The man did not even come second in the last election.
I didn’t even support him to win, but he was my second choice.
No sane person will vote or support Tinubu unless they are directly benefiting from him.

optm:
some white players in these other countries have different roots from the country they represent but it really doesn't matter to you. You are probably more concerned about the colour than their country of origin. Those black players are citizens of the country they represent and they are no less of a citizen than any other white individual.

Name any white player with either father or mother not born in these countries.
Do you easily see Asians playing for any of these nations.
If not that Africans are selfish and have no single integrity.
If these countries open their doors for individuals to enlist and represent them, there will be no one left in Africa.

luminouz:
I think you are very mád!!

I bet you can’t stand in front of me and say this rubbish. You can only type insults as a coward.

optm:
you feel you are a different specie of human because of just colour? If i should bring the blood of a black skinned man and that of a white, would you be able to diffrentiate them? If i bring the heart of a white guy and that of of white guy, would you be able to identify which is whose?

My intention is not to create disunity amongst humans.
Everything I said is geared towards preserving the purpose of a National team competition.
There should be a difference between club football competitions and national team competitions.
The Spanish team is gradually turning into France.
Very soon, you’ll be watching the Euros and think it is AFCON.
If Nico Williams was born in Syria, he’ll be playing for Ghana.
