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

Ritchiee:
We Igbos dont care because we didnt vote for him but we wail the most.

Rebelutionary:
I will choose to ignore the bigotry but you trying to change the fact that it still remains GOVERNMENT PROPERTY is befuddling! That's how some boys went to steal those huge panels on masts because it was FORMER NITEL OFFICE and presently not functional. REROUTED or not, it is insane to go build on property that isn't yours. Period!

The soldier lamented that they in the military are already tired of the bad government but they cannot come out and protest like civilians, stressing that civilians have the constitutional right and power to protest against bad government.

A Nigerian soldier, who did not disclose his identity has called on Nigerians to come out en masse and peacefully protest against bad governance in the country, assuring that no military officer would dare to shoot at peaceful protesters.



The soldier who made the call and gave the assurance in a voice note making the rounds on social media said that ahead of the planned nationwide protest in August against bad governance in Nigeria, the military has an undisclosed plan to protect the protesting civilians and that any military officer who dares to fire at the protesters will explain where he or she is from.

Assuring that soldiers will not shoot at protesters even if they are ordered to do so, the soldier said, “The security agents at where protesters are should protect them. The arms they are carrying are not to kill the protesters. All of us are tired.



“In this country now, civilians are even the ones that have a say. You civilians, you have the right to tell the government what you want but we in the military cannot do that. Anybody that is coming out to protest should come to protest peacefully.



“You don’t even know the plan we in the military have. Let us see any military man that will fire anybody who is just protesting against bad government. He will tell us where he is from.”



SaharaReporters had reported that Omoyele Sowore, the convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, unveiled a list of 15 critical demands from Nigerians as part of the upcoming 'Days of Rage' protest.



The protest, tagged #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, aims to address the country's governance challenges.




According to Sowore, a former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), the demands were compiled from inputs received from Nigerians participating in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria campaign.



The demands are directed at President Bola Tinubu's administration and are considered non-negotiable by the protesters.



The 'Days of Rage' protests, scheduled for late July to August 2024, have been preceded by the demands published by Sowore on his X account.



Reacting to the message of the military source on Thursday, Sowore said, “A military mind reset, this military guy is pleading with #DaysOfRage protesters, saying they are “tired” and that they won't carry out any order to shoot at protesters.”

There is an ongoing debate to make Anioma state the 6th state of the South East and the Ukwuani and Ika people have vehement opposed it, there is no doubt that Aniocha axis which is the Asaba area have so much in common with the Igbos across the Niger but the other two ethnic groups are simply not igbo judging by their history, cultural heritage and beliefs hence their stand.
They have nothing against the Igbos, they have being living together as Neighbors sharing similarities both in language and even culture however they are not Igbos.
Ned Nwoko and his supporters from the Antiocha axis cannot Lord over the other two which is like 2/3 majority.
Anioma greetings is not Kwenu but Uwaoma ni.

The demands come ahead of the planned 'Days of Rage' protests, scheduled to take place from late July to August 2024.

Omoyele Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow, has released a list of 14 demands from Nigerians to President Bola Tinubu's administration, aimed at addressing the country's governance challenges.

The demands, published on Sowore's social media account, are a result of inputs from Nigerians participating in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria campaign. The demands come ahead of the planned 'Days of Rage' protests, scheduled to take place from late July to August 2024.

He said, “So far, these are the commonest but fundamental demands from those who have responded to pursuing a general set of DEMANDs to #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria for the Days of Rage revolt scheduled for the end of July until August 2024.”

According to Sowore, the 14 demands are:

“1. Scrap the 1999 Constitution and replace it with a People-made CONSTITUTION for the Federal Republic of Nigeria through a Sovereign National Conference to be immediately followed by a National Referendum.

“2. Toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian Legislative System, keep the House of Representatives (HOR), and make lawmaking a part-time endeavour.

“3. Pay Nigerian Workers a minimum wage of nothing less than N250,000 monthly.

“4. Invest heavily in education and give Nigerian students grants, not loans. Aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria.

“5. Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and demilitarize the South East.

“6. Renationalise publicly owned enterprises sold to government officials and cronies.

“7. Reinstate a corruption-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.

“8. Probe past and present Nigerian leaders who have looted the treasury, recover their loot, and deposit it in a special account to fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

“9. Restructuring of Nigeria to accommodate Nigeria’s diversity, resource control, decentralisation and regional development.

“10. Reforms of Security Agencies to stop continuous human rights violations and duplication of security agencies and enhance the physical security of Nigerian citizens.

“11. Establish a Special Energy Fund immediately to drive massive, corruption-free power sector development.

“12. Immediate Reconstitution of the Nigerian Electoral Body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks appointed to manipulate elections.

“13. Massive investment in public works and industrialisation will help employ Nigeria’s teeming youths.

“14. Massive shake-up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of judges and judicial officers that continue denying everyday citizens access to real justice.”

Sowore has declared the 'Days of Rage' protests to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the 2019 #RevolutionNow demonstration. He is urging nationwide mobilisation and calling for people to join the movement.

Paraman:
This is unbelievable

If this is in Ibadan or Oshogbo, I know what some people will say

CyrusVI:
In Abia?? Really??
They should merge those SE states abeg

A guy up there wasnt even sure this could have been a place in Nigeria. This kinda news is one of the reasons we abuse Kenyas and Zimbos on International platform but here we are

Tflex01:
With the way you people beat chest online, especially when it happens elsewhere, I'm disappointed this is still happening in your land.

PaNnamdi:
Yes 200 million means 20 people

U are very intelligent clap for your self bro

EreluRoz:
Seun please caution your mods not to be allowing this type of topics on nairaland. No mods should let this hit front page. Mynd44 delete this please because there's no prove anywhere

Chill bros, I specifically mentioned mikano generators because it is regarded as a noiseless generator, those of us who doesn't mind the noise uses, single cylinder, 20kw Chinese generators, it only consumes 25litres for 16 hours, 25litres x 1150 gives 28750, solar is even cheaper, this government is a ripoff

LegendHero:
Jagaban dey burst my brain.

Now we just need to bring inflation down so the workers can smile well well

ebenholer:
Your choice of word was wrong cos I doubt if you as a person can slash your salary not to talk of your allowances in order to fight hunger in the nation. You should accept this as a welcome development instead of you castigating these folks

BabaAgba79:
Nothing they move una even if they all give their bodies to be burnt for you! Even if they die like Christian Jesus! You will still not believe!

Standing5:
25kg bags not 50kg.

CyrusVI:


Another proof that the Supreme court verdict on LG autonomy is a massive 3points for Democracy

If u arent happy about that. shame on u

jude79:
Your analysis is absolutely correct, a 20kva mikano generator consumes 60 litres in 16 hours, powering a combined power of around 13kw, running such factory, under band A, and consuming such power, will almost certainly top the generator
Nigerians would have ported to solar, since it is now the cheapest, but the problem is that the government had so impoverished Nigerians to the extent that they can't afford porting to solar, Nigerians earning power and affordability index had so much lowered that the #18000 minimum wage of Jonathan, the equivalent of #250000 of today is being denied them by the demonic apc government.

PaNnamdi:
I gave u an estimate if not the actual value of cost to power 200 million + homes in Nigeria and you are arguing blindly can you listing to yourself.

mrvitalis:
Does that mean it's right?

mrvitalis:
You think light is cheap? Lmao

Like is 105 per kWh ooh from zone B down

If you use 2kva that's 210 per our lol

mrvitalis:
Generator is cheaper na than having national grid

How is this concept difficult to understand

It is because we have millions of people who spend 20k and above on data that MTN can provide data for people who spend 200 a month

If all of us spend 200 MTN would fold

In Nigeria people who can spend 200k already have power 24/7

50 million can give u 24/7 light that's mere 30k dollars with solar

20k dollars can give you even but u have to manage it well

mrvitalis:
It's like depending on Nitel to give you power

MTN came because Nigerians where rich enough to buy them in substantial amount

For me to invest in power I need a concentration of Nigerians who can pay 200k per month for light

And we both know such places already have 247 like in Nigeria

mrvitalis:
He said the truth don't know why you Nigerians like lies no wonder u keep voting wrong people

Nigeria is too poor to have 24 hours electricity
