Planned Protests: Suspend BBNaija - Human Rights Advocate by bolabizzle

See stupidity.





Maybe government should suspend internet too since it is very distracting. Suspend mobile masts, as well, arguing that many, including security personnel, watch BB online.


Nigeria youth are not ready for revolutionary change, they remain immature and mislead by the West.

drmuchin:
The horse in Nigeria cost of arms should be replaced with SNAIL

Which might be apt since all Nigerians seem to think of these days is food.

Good job, but that won't stop the coming protest

After the protests will there be feasts ?

Gistmedia10:
A young Nigerian entrepreneur is grappling with profound distress after thieves ransacked his yet-to-launch gadget shop, stealing goods worth millions of naira and causing extensive damage. This unfortunate event has left the aspiring business owner devastated.

In a video posted online, the entrepreneur, visibly heartbroken, expressed his anguish by saying, "The shop I'm yet to launch, see what thieves did. What man did to man." The footage reveals the severity of the damage, showcasing broken walls and dismantled burglar-proof installations, highlighting the thoroughness with which the thieves executed their plan.

The shop, which was set to offer a variety of high-tech gadgets, had its shelves emptied by the burglars who made away with valuable items, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices. This significant loss has been a major setback for the young entrepreneur who had high hopes for his new business venture.


What a wicked world!

My Cobo's worth:

Firstly, though worthless, he has our sympathy. Hope he doesn't give up.

Secondly, we probably need a better insurance industry in Nigeria.

Thirdly isn't this like a tale of a nation's citizen? In the same Nigeria economic climate, one youth has the gumshoe, forbearance, courage, and drive to set up a business, while another youth has only mouth to complain about what government is not doing for him. Civil society does not like the first type of Nigerian, who is business minded and a striver, this is evident in civil society never making this type of Nigerian the object of international recognition, example and concerns. Civil society likes the second type of Nigerian, evident in elevating this type of Nigerian's endless complaints about suffering and what government is not doing for him, internationally right across social media. It is also arguable that due to the support that the second type of Nigerian receives, both in Nigeria and internationally, is why he may go out to rob and destroy the nascent business of the first type of Nigerian, embolden by focus on economic climate. The uselessness and deviancy of character possessed by the second type of Nigerian will be lost by civil society wailing and using his acts as a weapon against government, claiming that his criminality was caused by economic hardship everyone should blame on government.

Industrious Nigerian Youth Express Shock After Seeing How People Practice Farming In Asia

She may be shocked too if she studies how they eat. My Jamaican girlfriend is always outraged when she hears Nigerians complaining of hunger. She believe that what Nigerians seem to consider small meal is like a feast in many parts of the world. She dose not believe that people elsewhere don't have access to food only that they don't eat as heftily and lavishly as Nigerians. I point out that she is influenced by Nigeria online cooks and restaurant owners showcasing Nigeria foods. In addition, I point out that Nigerians reference of Hunger may be metaphoric; that is, hunger as a symbol of paucity of life chances, development and hope.

Part 2

Recall the following incident quoted bellow:

Call to boycott Black hair stores after woman is assaulted

Unnamed Black woman was filmed being manhandled around hair store
CALLS HAVE been growing to boycott Black hair care stores not owned by Black people in the wake of a woman who was filmed being “assaulted”. 

The shocking footage was shared to social media yesterday (11th September) which shows an unnamed woman who allegedly went to the store to refund hair extensions at a hair shop on Rye Lane, Peckham.

It was claimed her request was refused and she was seen being dragged in the store by a South Asian man who had his hand around her neck and her arms pinned behind her.
The distressed woman cries out for others to look and for someone to record the chaos.

She repeatedly shouted: “Call the police, call the police! Call the f***king police! Call the f***king police…This man just strangled me, this man just strangled me. Get the f**k off me.” 
The 31-year-old woman was allegedly attempting to to steal items before the altercation, the police said.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of assault and later bailed pending further enquiries.
The footage was circulated widely on social media including by Black femicide charity, For Black Women UK and Sistah Space. Hundreds are calling for the unnamed man to be arrested and charged.

The incident, which took place at Peckham Hair and Cosmetics, is understood to be a South Asian-owned store selling mainly hair and beauty products catered towards Black women. 
CCTV footage of before and after the incident is understood to have been captured. 

Kanye Kawasaki, a Black historian, addressed the uproar on his social media and encouraged Black people to start buying their hair products from Black-owned retailers instead.
“Long term we need to practise economic justice, starting with boycotting that shop until the person in question is reprimanded. Further to that, we have had our own experiences in these ‘Afro’ hair shops; being followed from aisle to aisle, bad service etc. 

Sometimes it feels as though Nigerians in "All" fields abroad are targeted in an overall international drive aimed at disempowering Black People. Certain criminal enterprises have international economic implications beyond the common man's simple moral understanding of crime and deviancy. A sizeable proportion of my persona pie chart is Observation. I am a Watcher. Over the years, I have observed Nigerian businesses in the part of UK that I reside systemically taken down by the exploitation of health and safety regulations not applied to the business of other communities. Often black people from other communities are used in sting/ under cover operations against Nigerian businesses.

Part 1

Masqueraders had better be careful they're not eaten by youths this coming protest.

Black Youths disrespecting culture, no doubt, psychologically influenced by imagined white people's negative view of our culture and not in the least troubled by the inherent stupidity and weakness of viewing your worth through the prism of others.

If you're too stupid to understand the value of respecting your culture, or and not wise enough to see that dialogue is the best way of resolving aspects of your primordial culture for which you're unsatisfied, then you're not a reliable person for interest groups to thrust responsibility upon for national change through nation wide protests.


This is part of my reasons for distrusting any protests in Nigeria sold as Youth lead.

Only minor highway blocking inconvenience, these people were sentenced 4 to 5 years in prison by UK Judge. Imagine what UK would hand down if protestors had ripped up asphalt , smashed cars and killed and ate highway police officers.


Sorry, but I cant get over the fact Nigeria youths killed police men, cooked and eat them during End Sars protest.

This was even posted online boastfully!

Environmental activists sentenced to harsh prison terms over mere UK highway protest.

Five activists of the Just Stop Oil environmental campaign have been handed prison sentences for their involvement in organizing protests that blocked a major London highway in 2022, PA media reported, sparking a wave of criticism from climate advocates.

‘Just Stop Oil’ co-founder Roger Hallam, 58, Daniel Shaw, 38, Louise Lancaster, 58, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, 35, and Cressida Gethin, 22, agreed to cause disruption to traffic by having protesters climb onto gantries over the M25 highway that encircles London for four successive days in November 2022, Judge Christopher Hehir said at the sentencing hearing at a court in the British capital on Thursday, according to the UK news agency.

Hallam was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment while the remaining four defendants were each handed four years in prison each.

Foolish man stepping on foreign toes.

UAE, for instance, exports refined petroleum products to Nigeria and enjoys robing Nigerians noses in humiliation in Dubai. In real terms, UAE barley has any power over Nigeria commensurate with the level of humiliation they perpetuate over Nigerians in Dubai and because of Dubai. Yet the tiny thing they can boast about, which is refined petroleum they export to Nigeria, Dangote wants to deprive them. What will UAE have over Nigeria, should Dangote Refinery supplant thire product? The only other leverage they have is the desperation of Nigeria's Muslim Elites love of being seen in Dubai.

Since the youths are in the need of a protest demand, maybe they should protest in demand for the resignation of NNPC top hierarchy + NMDPRA boss, Farouk Ahmed, if such a thing is possible.

I'm surprised people now believe in patronising made in Nigeria diesel when last year they hated made in Nigeria rice, poultry and all sorts. You all shouted, open Benin Republic border, wailing that patronising indigenous Nigeria products was overrated. You couched government attempts at closing border in order to encourage indigenous product as merely anti eastern merchants practices in disguise.

You all didn't like Nigeria rice, foreign rice sweet pass, remember?

Hypocrites!

I believe in record keeping.

This entire situation exemplifies why I oppose Nigeria moving towards a "One Africa" model. Here you have Nigeria youths preparing for major protests across Nigeria because Kenyans are protesting in Kenya. This suggests that if Cameroonians were to burn down Cameroon in protest against Biya's dictatorship, Nigerian youths might respond similarly by burning down Nigeria.


Tired of thinking, or no longer capable of it, we are going to pretend that in line with African American dreams of one Africa, Wakanda, all Africans are the same, think the same, are bedeviled by same issues. We are going to conveniently forget that Africa is home to the most diverse human populations on earth and settle for externally created stereotypes of us as mere unremarkable Africans with "corrupt, pot-belly, leaders " and "stupid oppressed citizenry"

nairalanda1:


SO, we should all keep quiet and look as NIgeria continues to have bad leaders, because your side is in power?

Better stop supporting sides. The leaders of the side you support and the leaders of the side they support are laughing at both of you.

As long as a nation practices multi party politics, there will always be "bad leaders". If or when Obi leads Nigeria, the opposition will ensure millions of Nigerians see him as a Bad Leader, regardless of what he does for Nigeria. Millions of America see Biden as a bad leader.

Jappa mentality highlights the problem with immigration and why the Irish, British, Polish, South Africa and so on dislike immigrants. Among other issues, immigrants change the character of a Nation. Shortly, Immigrants make a nation unrecognisable onto itself.

Example:

Once, Nigerians were a thrifty, industrious, self reliant people. Nigerians looked with exasperation and disgust at other Africans that always seemed to complain and moan for handouts from the Western world. The French were highly fascinated with Nigeria, they couldn't understand why Nigerians were so hardworking, inventive and self reliant while thire French West Africans seemed so indolent and lazy by comparison.

One day,Nigeria invented Nollywood. Nigeria movies spread throughout Africa, revealing Nigeria's landscape. Images of Nigeria looking relatively affluent in comparison to thire countries, drew Africans from all over West Africa to Nigeria through open borders. With these foreigners came other attitudes such as moaning, complaining and a need to blame something else for thire problems instead of solving those problems by hard work, thrift and self employment. Over time the mentality of Nigerians became like that of the rest of Africa. Nigerians became a people that loved readymade. Europe and the West are readymade nations. Nigerians became lovers of becoming employed by the readymade business of others instead of business creators and self employment. Jappa to other people's readymade nations became a thing of pride and boasting to Nigerians.

Africa happened to Nigeria, infected Nigerians with the lazy attitude. Some Nigerians with the new African attitudes, in addition to those Africans that earlier on gained Nigeria passport and identity, on traveling abroad are likeliest to want to rely on benefits and social security, thus gaining the resentment of indigenes of those nations.

Hardship protest, is that it? How does protest bring about end of Hardship?

Kenya:
Tax protest - yeah that could work. Institute tax= mass protest= withdraw tax.

Nigeria:
Mass Hardship protest = what?
How do you withdraw hardship?

Hardship is not only relative, complex interconnected actions, locally and internationally plays a role in bringing about "hardship". And due to the relative nature of the experience of Hardship , sooner or later Political bias will be used to undermine the argument for "hardship" in a multi party democratic state.

Africans are schoolboys like. This whole thing has a sort of inevitability about it due to endless repetition of sound bites such as revolution. A insubstantial self-fulfilling action caused by simply talking too much about something.

Granted Asylum from Nigeria ?
Is this a thing? Bokoharam? Kidnappings? Asylum due to what?

Schools, education system is outdated. A revolution in education is needed. I have given a great deal of thought to what form Nigeria's education system should take. Apart from being tied to international examination boards, Nigeria could depart from current education system and lead the world by plotting a new path.

What's the planned protests over ? Food? Insecurity? Police brutality? Housing? Power supply? Fuel? Government? Ruling Party; taxation; head of state; minimum wage; the constitution, potholes; public transport; unemployment ?

Protesting against the following: "All" ; All + Everything ; Corruption ; Bad governance ; Poverty ; Head of state, is an exercise in futility and actually an exhibition in rank amateurism if not mischief making opportunism.

Confusing I mean, hastily announcing an end to a sanitation drive program, to the delight of the residents, only makes sense in some sort of Pig's Republic where Porky the pig is keen to alay the fears of the pen that no one is going to deprive them of thire swill.

Nigeria was once like UK wants to be in terms of food, see snippets and links below. Most people in cities and towns grew fruits like banana, plantains, oranges, mangoes in thire backyard or had places, similar to allotments, where they could go and grow more involved stuff like yams, cassava, sweet potato etc. People had at least chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, goats and so on. What happened to Nigerians Who turned us from Nigerians into Black People. Black People are stupid humans useful only as consumers of products made by others. Job seekers instead of self employed and business oriented.







UK could grow 40% of its fruit and veg in towns and cities, cutting dependence on imports, study says
If all urban green spaces were used they could support eight times the country’s current fruit and vegetable production, scientists say.


There is “huge untapped capacity” for Britain to grow far more of its own fruit and vegetables in underutilised urban areas, without turning more of the countryside into agricultural land, a new study suggests.

Using green urban space in towns and cities, people in the UK could grow almost 40 per cent of the fruit and vegetables we consume, the study said.


As the last frost approaches and food security is in the spotlight, former allotment holder RICHARD BROWNING asks: Can you really grow your own food and feed your family?

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-8323703/Can-grow-food-feed-family.html




Grow your own food revolution plans to seed unused land
• Ministers consider temporary allotments scheme
• Fruit and veg plots part of strategy to cut reliance on imports

The government plans to launch a "grow your own" revolution by encouraging people to set up temporary allotments or community gardens on land awaiting development or other permanent use.

It aims to develop a "meanwhile" lease to formalise such arrangements between landowners and voluntary groups and is considering establishing a "land bank" to broker better links and ensure plots are not left idle.

Ministers believe the move could foster community spirit and skills as well as improve physical and mental health.

I'm speculating here informed by things I've read over the years so not indisputable facts. But it seems Muslims from all over West Africa are citizens of Nigeria or rather national borders mean nothing to them since, effectively, Islam is a country. Obviously Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, UAE and so on do not accept this. As a practicing or none practicing Muslim, you need passport, visa and the requisite documentation to travel to Saudi Arabia, UAE and so on. Practicing Islam does not make you a citizen of Saudi Arabia for instance. As a Muslim from Burkina Fasso, Mali Niger Republic or Chad, you're not going to enjoy a future life as a citizen of Saudi Arabia's Line City simply by virtue of being a Muslim. Same applies to Nigeria in principle; meaning, you're not a Nigeria citizen simply because you practice Islam or Christianity. Nigeria is not a nation called Islam or Jesu to which entire Islam or Christianity practicing persons of the world belong.

Unfortunately, since Nigeria is not well organised, entire West Africa Muslims benefit from treating Nigeria as birthright. The poorest are able to wonder into Nigeria through our unprotected borders , settle vagrantly in the North. Same applies to militants from the Sahel region down to Niger, Chad and Cameroon. They enter Nigeria, eventually learn the geography by dint of Some that have settled earlier as well as from Nigerians too. It's a mixed bag. Migrating to Abuja or targeting wherever they want in Nigeria for kidnapping, terrorism, stealing or living isn't difficult.


Nigeria needs to get to grips with border control. If we are unable to invest the sums needed to control our borders then we have to implement security measures throughout our cities aimed at enabling the security services to at least apprehend the relevant miscreants in the event of failure to prevent thire actions.

Death seems to follow Trump.

Two heart attack victims and 5 more at the Capitol Hill invasion. Now we have two more: the death of the fireman plus the assassin.

There have been other deaths too, at some of his other rallies or in connection with his political antics but not sure, will look into it....

A quick ChatGpt query revealed that in addition to the 5 Capitol Hill deaths, the following deaths occured:



ChatGpt: In the aftermath of the riot, there were additional suicides among law enforcement officers who responded to the event, though these deaths are not counted among the direct casualties of the riot itself:

Howard Liebengood: A Capitol Police officer who died by suicide on January 9, 2021.

Jeffrey Smith: A Metropolitan Police Department officer who died by suicide on January 15, 2021.

Kyle DeFreytag: Another Metropolitan Police Department officer, who died by suicide in July 2021.

Gunther Hashida: A Metropolitan Police Department officer, who died by suicide in July 2021.




. Fucking thing reads like a script from the Omen movie.



.....seems a couple of old people also died at his 2021 rally meetings, attributed to COVID.

The Lagos State Government has entered a Joint Venture agreement with CIG Motors Company Limited to deploy 5,000 new smart taxis under the LAGRIDE e-hailing scheme in a major step towards modernising the state’s public transportation.
This $260 million investment is set to transform the transport landscape of Lagos, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced yesterday.
The agreement, supervised by Governor Sanwo-Olu, involves IBILE Holdings Limited, a State-owned corporation, partnering with CIG Motors to add brand-new vehicles to the LAGRIDE fleet.
Initially, 2,000 vehicles will be delivered, with the remainder arriving in phases. Among these, 1,000 will be electric vehicles, underscoring Lagos’ commitment to reducing fossil fuel dependence and lowering its carbon footprint.
“This investment deal will further enhance efficiency and elevate smart mobility in the e-hailing sector.
“These vehicles will be tailor-made for Lagos terrain, operating on low carbon emissions, with improved technological interaction and energy transition,” said Sanwo-Olu.
The LAGRIDE initiative, launched in 2022 with 1,000 new cars and mini SUVs, has provided commuters with better transportation options. The latest investment aims to build on this success, extending services and improving the overall quality of public transit in Lagos.
Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasised that the new fleet would be a significant step towards achieving an integrated urban transit system, offering a sustainable alternative to outdated vehicles.
“This is a transportation solution that we are developing to meet all our citizens’ needs to commute safely and comfortably within the metropolis,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu also highlighted the broader impact of the partnership, which includes carpooling, chauffeur services, and tech-driven logistics services. He urged other private players in the transportation sector to initiate similar schemes to enhance mobility in Lagos.
“We will be seeing improvements in operation, advancements in technology, and a significant reduction in carbon footprint.
This demonstrates our commitment to energy transition towards sustainable energy sources.” Sanwo-Olu noted
Commissioner for Transportation, Seun Osiyemi, stated that the deal would help LAGRIDE meet the increasing demand and improve customer satisfaction while boosting fintech support solutions.
He added that the initiative would create jobs and bolster the local economy by enhancing transportation accessibility.
“This is an investment in modern and sustainable transport solutions, in furtherance of the State Government’s efforts to actualize a safer, cleaner, faster, and digitally equipped transportation system under the THEMES Agenda,” Osiyemi said.

The Managing Director of IBILE Holdings Limited, Tobi Lawal, highlighted the benefits of the collaboration, including enhanced transportation infrastructure and boosted tourism, which will improve the State’s aesthetics and efficiency.
Also, the Managing Director of CIG Motor Company Limited, Chief Diana Chen, affirmed its commitment to its partnership with Lagos State.
“Whatever we promised, we delivered. We are committed to helping Nigeria raise its GDP and economic growth. We will make LAGRIDE a Lagos’ pride,” she stated. Lagos, auto firm sign pact 5,000 ‘Smart Taxis’ rollout
