North is on fire

..while south has been peaceful so far

This protest is like the opposite version of #EndSARS

That's to tell you that this country is divided.

Smartjeezy01:
People should leave Tinubu alone and face all this greedy governors and senators because they are the problem of this country. This dead brain senators, reps and governor has turned Nigeria into family affairs by i don't care attitude. Let's start from the grassroot to deal with all these bunches of rulers. Ministers are also not left out because some of them don't know anything about their portfolios. We should chase them around and stoned them.
#africawakeup
#Nigeriayouthswakeup

You really believed that you have made sense, right? Leave the man who removed the last subsidy on fuel which is petrol as that of kerosene and diesel was already removed and petrol jumped from 180 naira to 800 naira?
Let's leave Tinubu who floated naira and it jumped from 400 naira to 1500, 1600 naira?
The man who has authority to order opening of land borders food importation as bandits, terrorists and herdsmen have stopped the farmers from farming?

ElSudani:
The pot on top of an alcoholic drink says it all. I guess it is better to get drunk than to buy food with the little you have.
What an inspiring message.
It shows the lack of direction of the whole charade.

We got a name for you: armchair critics

Ola9ja23:
Now that many useless youths have died, we are waiting for Sowore threats that Tinubu would be good responsible

Sowore is in London and his land soldiers are dying in Nigeria 😁😁😁😁🤪🤪🤪🤪😁😁😁

Sowore done cash out 😁😁😁🤪🤪😁😁😁

Where is Aishat Yesuf? She no come out to protest?

Sowore can't feel or experience what they're passing through since you already admitted that he's not in Nigeria. They don't take orders from him but from hunger

Ezeama400:
Why is Tinubu killing the same people that voted for him..?

I thought soldiers don't kill in the north but only in south east?

Danisaint112:
From the look of things, this is likely going to play out. With the way they have been holding meeting with Military chiefs and using military presence to instill fear in the mind of Nigerians.

One place I am certain it will turn a disaster if someone get shot, is the core North. Those Abokis, bike riders & Almajiris don't hear sorry.

I believe soldiers there would respect themselves like they have always been doing over there but flex their military muslcle in the South as usual.

One of the many reasons no South East states will participate in the protest. We have eaten blame, accused wrongly and died for Nigeria enough.

Let those who feel the need to protest or feel it's the solution to Nigeria's problem do the protest. Yes you all have our full support. Perhaps, APC might listen and start getting things right.

Continue swimming in your pool of ignorance. No be the same North we saw the video clip of summary executions of suspects and slaughtering of men by the large grave under the instruction of the Nigerian military. I'm sure you just don't want to believe that a lot of atrocities are going on in the troubled areas of the north

nairalanda1:
Look, it does not matter who wins the election. At the end of the day, the new governments do nothing about hospital funding...because doing something means increasing hospital fees, and or increasing taxes...and that loses votes.

So, all government does is renovate a few hoospitals, build some new ones, talk about PHC, and at the end of the day, ..hand over the problem to the incoming government

Rinse and repeat.

So, what do doctors do faced with bad salaries and bad equipment...they jakpa.

At least they don't end up being faced with a patient who died because we did not have x equipment.

Nigeria is a poor country. If we want to make more money, we have to find ways to raise prices, and as a result people suffer. SO, we refuse to face the problem.

APC or PDP.

And Lord knows, it annoys me greatly.

You can mock me now.

This is what I'm talking about, useful submissions. I like this better.

CodeTemplar:
that's cause someone printed money like confetti.

No, they don't print money monthly or all the time. Nigerian government revenue has doubled under Tinubu. And raising the percentage of ways and means bills doesn't necessarily means printing more money like your are insinuating here. Many commenters have explained it that it also means raising the set borrowing limit.

Babaibeji2020:
You still remain an idiota,stop clowning and answer emphatically how DSS investigations makes you hate police...ode!
A thief isn't comfortable with any security outfit......DSS is now NPF....
You speak about malnutrition 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .....the way you type and your grammatical blunders tells it all....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go hit the streets for the protest,it's good for you 👍

That guy is stupid and annoying. And if anything happens to him or his family members tomorrow, it is still the same police or DSS their mumu family will complain to. There is breakthrough in this particular incident and that's exactly what we just read here: the breakthrough! I don't understand why he's still displaying madness at this point the case is half solved

RighteousDemon:
Animals like you that can’t spin a common convo and think out of the box for once are the reasons the politicians put this country on overdrive. I trust you don’t have a DSTV at home and your only means to enlightenment is that android phone your sister bought for you with proceeds of oloshoism.

Thinking out of the box is not one your strong suits, you might want to disagree. Someone thinking out of the box would have asked himself a vital question of: how did DSS discover where the victim was buried but you are too dull to think about that. What baffles me most about your stupidity is why would any sane person would be calling DSS agents handling the case liars in defence of the domestic staff that you don't know or know what they're capable of. Hanging yourself would be better for our society, people like you shouldn't be allowed to reproduce

pimplucious:
Are there not way these domestics staffs can be vetted? Their atrocities is getting crazy

They have killed many important people in the society from judges to prof to millionaires and kidnapped their employers' kids for trafficking

Anguldi:
His kids paid 30M to the kidnappers. That's why am kicking against domestic staffs

Kicking against in what sense? That they're not involved or what? Would it be the first time or the last time such things would happen? Do you even know these domestic staff or their criminal tendencies? Hehe!

Anguldi:
Your mind dey there. Pay the relative well, I know a live in relative earning 100k

And if they are not still satisfied? Do you think a prof can afford to pay a relative or domestic staff 100k? And compare 100k to 30 million naira, won't someone with collecting 100k and have a criminal mindset go for 30 million naira deal even if it is offered by devil? My point is that you guys should stop defending people that you don't know or know nothing them.

RighteousDemon:
Just pin it on the nobody since they can’t run forensic investigations...

I know say e go pain you and you go wan quote me but I Dey my house come beat me.

I don’t trust the 9ja police. A suspect is all they need. I’ve been thru these traumas and I hate them for not doing thorough investigation.

And if e still Dey pain you, I Dey house

Mumu is your first name. How did DSS discover the shallow grave if someone or some people involved in the criminal act didn't lead them there? Your dying brain should have told you that some people are already singing. And the forensic investigation is just to know how he was killed, not to know who killed him, Dumbo

CodeTemplar:
Printing of cash means the govt has no other means and is a very bad sign. Nigeria is broke. Lol

Broke indeed . How much did they share June ending? How much are going to share July ending? The last time I checked, their allocation has doubled under Tinubu. Are they now going to share what they were sharing under Buhari? I'm asking you because we just like to allow these people to lie to us.
Nigeria is broke but it doesn’t prevent them from buying SUVs that's worth 150 million naira per one. Broke but doesn't affect their millions monthly and quarterly take home pay plus phantom constituency projects.

I thought they were all complaining about the ones Emefiele and Buhari incurred which they're now settling. Now, they too want to raise the borrowing bar on top subsidy removal. Birds of a feather, clowns

LegendHero:
Lol, before, the governors were shielded from the insult and only Tinubu took the blame of minimum wage.

Now that FG will start paying it, the governor will start receiving their own barrage of insults coz e sure me say 40% of the states won’t be able to pay that 70k.

I am even surprised Gombe is paying 30k, Abia can only muster 18k so Gombe still senior one state.

Lol. Like their successive governors including the incumbent no dey steal billions

He said President Tinubu had no choice but to announce the subsidy removal, as the National Assembly was not inaugurated at the time of his swearing-in and there was no provision for petrol subsidy in the 2023 budget beyond June.

Lol. See lie! Buhari is their fall guy. As if the rest of us are illiterates and ignorant. Buhari's subsidy covered month of June but Tinubu removed subsidy on May 29th. No be madness be dat.
If Tinubu had waited till June ending, the new national assembly came in with him the same May 29th or 30th, wouldn't he have included subsidy in the supplementary budget he sent to them? Liar!
This thief is now collecting times 2 of what his state was receiving before, yet he's still crying. The same crying and wailing that won't prevent him from stealing billions of naira at the of the day.

nairalanda1:
Unfortunately...they did vote them again. And still no plan to fix the medical sector other than to attempt to stop doctors doing the Saudi route last year.

But the thing has been on for decades. Even if we voted Obi today, tomorrow more doctors would jakpa. If we voted Atiku , same story. The issue is that the government is too scared to do either of

1. Allowing hospitals to charge fees....that means more expensive rates...and that does not win votes

2. Widening the tax base, and raising the tax to gdp ratio....that does not do anything for the tax base either.

Last year, Lagos budgeted 161 billion naira...or 97 Million dollars for health care. Lagos that has a lot of government hospitals. By comparison, the NY metro area hospital Beth Israel lost 150 million dollars in one year.

So Lagos spent less money on health care than one single NY hospital lost in one year.

Yet, you giuys and the agbado people vote for people who tell you they will build road and build this and give you free money. You won't vote for the person that tells you the truth about where we are, and what we need to make it better, because una wan chop money.

Those who we voted for and those who you voted for, what's the difference between them?

What do we expect when leaders are paying themselves millions of naira monthly and stealing billions too but refuse to pay those who matter most, the hardworking people? This is the result

wellmax:
One day it will be your turn.

Accept Jesus today.

Lol. One day, it was Jesus turn too. Why should we accept him?

AmiableMosquito:
The President is doing a lot but the media needs to amplify the efforts of the Presidency.

Let me use this opportunity to introduce you all to the Citizens' Assembly. This is an initiative of the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagements (North Central). The Citizens' Assembly is a platform created to bring the government closer to the people. It aims to bridge the disconnect between the government and the people.

Let the government know your immediate concerns in your community through the Citizens Assembly and these issues will be escalated to the highest authorities for swift resolution.

Together, let's co-create the society we desire.

God bless Nigeria

The media? Lol. Masses don't need any media to tell them that government is working, they will feel it if indeed govt is working. All the things mentioned above are nothing but window dressing.
Centers where rice will be sold 40k per bag, like seriously? Don't go to such centres or allow your family members to go, some people might not come back home alive as a result of stampede knowing that such centers will be disorganised.
He needs to come up with practical steps to reverse ever rising prices of food, both short term and long term solutions. Land borders are still locked, naira is still losing value against hard currencies daily because an import dependent economy like ours is floating her currency. Bandits, terrorists and herdsmen are still killing and chasing farmers away. Budgets for agriculture still remains the lowest of all the sectors' budgets. Fuels prices are still rising daily, kerosene is a forbidden item for 99.9% of the homes. Electricity has joined too.
People need to see changes, not hear it through media propaganda

Sonnobax15:

Animal...... instead of the bush cow to kukuma stay there and serve his jail terms in the U.k,at least he'll be fed well there. .... Unlike Nigerian prisons,if hand venture touch am here,na otilor be him name for the rest of his life

See as I'm even talking as if our Nigerian police can apprehend him . The same set of wereys who have been taking forever to catch a huge thief like Yahaya Bello

After his release in fifteen years time, he won't have any life again, he will be done for. His name will be put in Public Record for Sexual Offenders. I don't even think he will ever be employed again. He made the best decision. UK authorities should liaise with the Nigeria authorities to track him down and bring him to justice

Putinofrussia:
Functional refineries? Yes and they are on course.
Subsidy back? No.

On course since 1999. Some people will never wake up to reality.

Subsidy thieves'messenger spotted?
Nigerians have overcome.

Instead of Nigeria govt to deal with those who are benefiting from subsidy scam and plug the loopholes, they decided to take away the only things that made our economy fairly stable and goods and services affordable and give it to themselves in form of mega allocations.

DevilsEqual:


This is a kinda Govt that listens to the pleas of the public

FG has taken multiple steps towards ease the hardship in the one week

Multiple policies and reforms to ensure the people have reasons to smile again

God Bless PBAT

If u arent smart enough to rejoice when it matters, dont tag me. I no dey follow wail

Lol. These are what we called window dressing approaches. Tinubu knows what Nigerians want and what he can do and how to do it to make living easier for the masses if he's ready.
The high fuels prices, the floating of naira, shutting of land borders, almost zero yearly allocations for agriculture, fuels import, too much pay for the politicians, etc should be addressed if he's sincere

Zonefree:
This Peller boy, is he a musician or comedian? What's his talent? Why do Nigerians love to make stupid people famous?

Amotolongbo:
the same question I have been asking.
I realise I am not the only one asking myself what is so special about the boy and what he does

May be the way does it. Ever wonder about that?

JagabanB:
I'm still waiting for you to bring the data to back ur claims that "most farmers in Nigeria can't access their farms".
This post has not justified ur outrageous claim.
Bring data to back it up.

Someone said most farmers, he didn't say 90% or 70% and you're asking for data, that's pettiness.
Did you see 102 communities? That's data and figures for you. And if that doesn't move you, I wonder what will

JagabanB

saintbillion:
No. I'm advocating for justice.

Justice for gunmen? Terrorists sympathizer.

How many times them done kill bandits?

The last time I heard, Nigerian army are pampering bandits and terrorists in the north. Mumu

saintbillion:
Why kill them? Why not capture them alive or catch them red handed? Why split blood and waste bullets in this Tinubu economy? Well let me go and print my own placards for the August protest. We move. MrCork is back to protest too, whom am I?

You're not only an illiterate but also ignorant. You want them to catch gunmen alive? By using juju or what? People that died in crossfire! Some people just don't have sense.

vengertime:
Nigerian security bastards will never admit that they have casualties on their own side if you don't snap them pictures while they lay on the ground like goats.

How are we sure they're not Fulani herdsmen trying to kidnap abians and also Agbado people trying to destabilise Abia State. My people let's wake up these people are evil

Awon Chuck Norris

This is how you described people who are laying down their lives to protect you and your poor family? Something is definitely wrong with you upstair

allthingsgood:
Upside down how Nation building is not only for leaders sir. Everybody has a part to play. You can be corrupt while u expect your leaders to be saint. The leaders are a reflection of the people. Thats why protesting is silly and a waste of time.

The leaders have every resources they need at their disposal to lead us right. They have authority and power to make laws and implement it, to punish the citizens who are doing wrong things like stealing, looting or killing.
It is the duty of leaders to set example and punish erring citizens. There are bad citizens in USA, UK and Canada that we're running to but their leaders wouldn't allow them to have free reigns. Why do our people adjust and comply when they get there?
But in Nigeria, how do you expect a corrupt president, govs, lawmakers and judges to punish corrupt career officials or contractors.
You don't seem to get it at all. You are advocating for bottom-up approach while what we need is top-down approach

Gerrard59:
I am shocked that you complain of high food prices and Fulani incessant brutal butchering of farmers across Northern Nigeria. You see, this is the result of being mute when Buhari empowered his marauding brothers to slaughter farmers during his first tenure. You people keep quiet because of 2023, and now you are complaining.

You are lying! The issue of herdsmen and farmers predates Buhari's administration, just that people hoped and expected him to find lasting solution which didn't happen. He even proposed some solutions but suspicious and lack of trust wouldn't allow southerners to welcome the proposals.
Having said that, the issues of herders vs farmers crisis concerning food security have now been compounded by terrorists and bandits.
