......answer my question nah, shey na Carnival dey happen in SW, especially in Lagos today?!

This man.. The conversation is this?
What is an effective way for people to show they are not happy and pressure government.
You have been against these protests because it is not peaceful.
I highlighted the fact that anti-government protests are never peaceful.
You said occupy Nigeria was peaceful.
I showed you different links to show it was not a peaceful protest.

Now you are asking me about Lagos protest again?

The original question is this, how do people express their anger while not carrying out anti-government protests.

What do you suggest?

larride:
Whether the people call the communication lamba or not is irrelevant, it's the government responsibility to fully communicate their intentions and policy to the people.

When Tinubu removed fuel subsidy and unified exchange rate, was the policy not clearly communicated? Let them keep the same energy on actions and policy they are doing to alleviate the suffering of the people.

I'm not arguing against effective communication.
But what makes it effective is the actions that proceed it.
If you are communicating and still increasing the suffering of people, the people stop caring about your communication.

Infact people (Nigerians) won't care about communication if life was good. That's the koko

larride:
Na English I use type bro, no be mandarin.

People have a right to protest and they should if they are dissatisfied with the government.

It doesn't change the fact that the best form of protest is through the ballot.

but history has shown that federal governments respond even faster to anti-government protests than the prospect of losing an election.

OasisX:


......you dug so tey you discover Vanguard unverified post, where you will reading according to source that heard from sources. LOL!

I guess no protest in Lagos today?! There were protests in Ibadan, Abeokut, Akure, Osogbo and Ekiti as well, hence no destruction of properties.

I have not seen any destruction in PH or Asaba or Warri as well. Only looting of Palliatives in Edo and I have no qualms with it.

Wetin yiu dey talk?
You gave example of occupy Nigeria as a peaceful protest.
There are numerous links to show that people died.
Properties were destroyed.
Or do you want to forgo the evidence of your eyes for the love you have for Tinubu?

liveLongNprospa:
More on the peaceful occupy Nigeria protests

Oasisx this is for you.
What do you have to say

larride:
There is anger and hunger in the land and the government that should communicate clearly what they are doing to stop the suffering of the people are either gaslighting them or dragging their feet.

The government need to sort out its comms team, 90% of them should be fired immediately. Even the little the government is doing, nobody is explaining them.

Ajuri has been nothing short of a disappointment. Dele Alake should be brought back to the ministry of information and Tolu reappointed as the President spokesperson.

What does communication do when the actions are still leading to suffering?
At what point do you think people will start calling the communication lamba?

larride:
The government can demonize protest as much as they like, it doesn't stop it from being a legit form of expressing the citizens disaffection.

As per your last question, the best form of protest in a democracy is through the ballot.

So you suggest people bear this for another 4yrs without any protest in between 😁 or with protests?

obainojazz:
So this your passionate campaign post no count
People like you, your silence most times is louder than what you say

This is practically love making😂

More on the peaceful occupy Nigeria protests

OasisX:


......how many lives were lost?! How many properties were destroyed?!

Oooops! What's your definition of peaceful protest Mr. Warper. LOL!

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-16518521.amp

This was in minna


2 people were killed in the protests.
More than a dozen were injured.
Know your history or use google

OasisX:


....bruh! Did you read my response at all?! Occupy Nigeria na what?! Carnival?! LOL!

Was occupy Nigeria a peaceful protest?
Was ojota not blocked.
Did it not cause traffic and stop people from easily accessing the road.
What happened in other states?
Was it a peaceful protest in those states too?


Unless your understanding of peaceful protest is warped bro

airmark:

Ok.

Now that we are both in agreement as to who you married.
I know how our interactions will be going forward.

larride:
No protest even end peacefully. There are some people just waiting for a little disobedience across board to start carrying out their own agenda.

That's why instead of the police warning people not to protest so it wont be hijacked, they should be making sure that the protest is carried out in a controlled manner where they can nip any violence in the mud immediately.

I agree.
So then what is the alternative seeing as anti-government protests are demonised.

What do you suggest is done that will also have the same effect and send the required message to a Federal Government that doesn't care.

OasisX:


............LOL! Easier to know those that start championing New Nigeria ish sha. Kindly help with JPEGs or HD of Destructions and Lootings during Occupy Nigeria Protest.

So you have no examples of such protest.

Meaning anti-government protests are not known to be a fun peaceful affair ba😁

OasisX:
......let me first correct you, I never comdemn Protest rather suing for peaceful protest. The records are there on this board, Oasis no dey delete past posts - Ọlọhun má mú mi, torí tani àti tani níwájú tani. LOL!

Protest is our fundamental right but destruction of properties is not, and I have said it many times here. Few folks have answered your question but let me help you out with it one more time.

2027 is less down 3yrs, vote him out. Whether you protest from now till tomorrow, PBAT ain't ready to backdown. Kindly watch yesterday World Press Conference by his Cabinet Members. He believes he is on the right track to fix Nigeria, he acknowledges the hardship and promises prosperity is close.

If PBAT eventually fails, God forbids, I will humbly campaign aggressively against his re-election. He has this term to fix Nigeria and I still have confidence he can do it.

Lmaooo mention the last time you saw a major anti-government protest that was peaceful in apc regime.
We can go back to PDP too.

Now what can we do as anti-government protests are violent?
What are the alternatives?

OasisX:
......what has Oasis done wrong again?! Make I kuku leave the platform for una bá?!

I'm surprised you'd say this.

Anyways let me ask you, since protests are bad like you have been showing us.

How should people voice their concerns that the government will feel the effect and act fast?

What do you suggest?
Consider that food inflation is currently approaching 50%.
Fuel is sold for an average price of 800.
Farmine in the northern part of the country and the rise in insecurity.

What do you suggest?

airmark:
I saw ecstacy in some people when destruction of properties happened.

Same way your wife was ecstatic about the destruction as an Igbo woman that she is.

Abi the ecstacy nor go round?

airmark:
Till now Donjazet hasn't told us why he wanted Obi dead in a plane crash, while he was Governor.

I am sure my wife doesn't possess such mindset. If you like believe.

What's my business with Donjazet in this issue.

I don't have to believe anything you say.
I am saying your wife is an Igbo woman who is evil like the ones you have issues with.
It's that simple.

As police Don arrest these hoodlums, let us hope the protest by the peaceful people isn't disturbed again.

I mean the people that protested against protest a few days ago didn't have hoodlums attack them.
Police should keep doing a good job

airmark:
You need evidence so that I will get thousands of bucks in my wallet?

Then allow me assume like you also assume about other igbo people.

airmark:
What will the evidence do if provided?

Atleast show us that your wife is different.
Seeing as you are an authority on good and bad igbos

airmark:
Not all Igbos are in support of Kanu and Ekpa. She is not in support of violence like those brainwashed ones.

Where is the evidence that she is not in support?
How do we know she's not in support?
What makes your igbo wife different?

airmark:


I stand where peace resides and not where them destructive Chinazas and Sodikis are.

And that is fine as that could be the instruction given to you.
But what I am sure is this.
You married an Igbo woman who has extended family in Nigeria.

Airmark you have not provided us with evidence that shows your wife and her family are different nau.

airmark:
Ekpa wasn't born abroad and was filled with hate towards Nigeria before travelling to Finland.

My wife was born in America and raised in a peace-loving family.

Your wife's family has ties to their extended family in Nigeria bro.
You married an Igbo woman and we are well aware of how close they are with extended family.

Or are you saying your wife is only igbo woman not in touch with her own family?

airmark:
She is not IPOB member and not gullible.

Not all Igbos are like you and Kanu, looking for violence up and down.

Nope.
You cannot say this.

How do we believe you without evidence?


You've made it clear she is abroad, she has family abroad.
Its even easier for her or her family to fund the Igbos you don't like afterall exchange rate favours this logic.
For example, Simon Ekpa is running things from far away Finland. So your wife and her family will definitely have ties to people back home.

So how do ronu people trust that you are not a double agent to feed the bad Igbos information.
You could have been turned against your people for all we know bro.

airmark:
We have bad people everywhere but my wife is not bad like your brothers here hailing looting and destruction of public properties. She was raised in a responsible family, with her dad and mum, more American than Obama.

Being abroad isn't a sign that she is different.
Simon Ekpa is in Finland.
So I'm surprised you think your own igbo is different from the igbo you don't trust.
Igbos are very communal so I am wondering how yours is different bro?

iamoyindamola:
You mean kanu members

Lmao.. The same people that share close ties to the individual he has at home.

It's honestly not out of place to think airmark is a deep cover agent sent by the Igbos to infiltrate the ronu camp😁

airmark:
I don't know I am not on ground to find out.

What I saw was your brothers saying they are proud of them looting and burning down a property, like it was done in Lagos during Endsars.

Interesting to think your wife has even more link to these brothers that you ascribe to me.
You are a traitor to have decided to cohabit with one of these people for the rest of your life.

How do we not know you are a double agent from the Igbos?

airmark:
And you see them loving and giving kudos to the Northern protesters here earlier.

They don't love Nigeria, they want it in ruins.

Lmaooo.. Don't you think this was caused by Igbos northern branch? 🤔

Another one😂😂
