Governors are not the ones importing $24 billion barrel of oil, when there are refineries in the country


In 2022, the countries that had a largest trade value in imports than in exports of Refined Petroleum were Australia ($36.9B), Mexico ($36.8B), France ($24.7B), Nigeria ($19.7B), and Indonesia ($19.6B).

Tinubu knows that the protest will remove him form power.

After August 10, I will come back to ask you if your protests have removed Tinubu from government.

Theoarhics:
If kano and Edo join the protests go bloody ooo

Yeah, he go BLOODY, but for who? For the protesters or for the people in government?

BoldBrainz:
So it is my "Edikang Ikong" you're calling "Erikaiko"?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mek you no vex, na wetin im hear be dat.

Suddenly everyone will ill-gotten wealth in Nigeria, both from government and private establishments are jittery with the announcement of the oncoming protest. They are afraid of the rage of the downtrodden poor people.

I hope the masses will summon the courage to make the protest happen just like the Kenyans. This country needs to be shaken up.

Planned August 1 Protest: A hidden agenda by Igbos and ‘Obidients’
The planned protests being organized through the social media should be viewed beyond the surface. While it is true that the Nigerian economy is going through challenging times, due to many years of running a consumption-oriented economy, rather than a production-oriented economy, protests will not help fix the economy overnight. In fact, protests will worsen an already bad situation.
There is the not-so-well publicized angle to the End-SARS protests that I want to draw attention to. It is the ethnic angle to the destruction. I live at Lekki Phase1, on Adebayo Doherty street, off Admiralty road. During the EndSARS protest, virtually every business on my street, and adjoining streets were vandalized, except Igbo owned businesses. During a morning walk, my friend and I counted over 100 vandalized shops. Right in the middle of the street was a big branch of Ebeano supermarket, which was not touched, it was striking. All over Lekki area, shops were looted and destroyed, but Igbo businesses were spared. On Chevron drive, Atlantic Mall was vandalized, but the adjacent Ebeano supermarket was spared. On the Lekki expressway, virtually every supermarket was vandalized, including the popular Shoprite at Jakande and Shangotedo. Blenco supermarket, an Igbo-owned business with 4 branches between Lekki Phase 1 and Shangotedo had none of its stores vandalized.
All over Lagos, areas dominated by Igbo businesses were spared as wanton destruction ravaged the whole city. Computer village, Alaba market, Ladipo market did not witness any destruction, they were spared. The people who ransacked the Oba’s palace in Lagos were Igbo street traders.
After the protests, it was clear that to me that the Igbos had used their numerous street traders as foot soldiers to destroy businesses and livelihoods of non-Igbos in Lagos. And to destroy public infrastructure. The destruction was not random, it was selective and targeted. They hid under general protests to destroy non-Igbo businesses, in order to gain economic advantage.
The upcoming protests in August 2024 will not be different, if it is allowed to take place. Going by what I have seen on the social media, the same group of people, largely from the South East, are the planners of the protests. The same IPOB-aligned people, funded by IPOB will seek to cause maximum damage in Lagos and Abuja, targeting non-Igbo businesses and public/government infrastructure. Considering that one of their strong supporters Peter Obi suffered a major electoral loss, from which many of them have not recovered, it is likely that they will embark on a vengeance mission against other ethnic groups in Nigeria, for not supporting their own. Their attitude and agenda is to destroy the our country Nigeria if they cannot get the Presidency.
I am calling on all peoples of Nigeria, especially the youth from the South West and South South, not to fall for this ethnic Igbo agenda that they have covered up under the banner of general protests. Especially in Lagos, Tell the Igbo protesters to go to their home states to carry out their protests. Lagos and its lawful residents must not be allowed to be destroyed by ethnic Igbo warlords. We must not allow those who seek to destroy our Lagos at all costs to succeed. Our youth must resist being used to destroy our city.

I've listened to a lot of Kamala Harris' interviews and I'm afraid she might need a lot of mental evaluation.

Since you are the first to noticed this, you might be the best psychotherapist to do the evaluation. Why not give Kamala a call and schedule her for a visitation to your clinic.

TruthisOut:
This APC e-warriors really mean business. Any thread that shows the poor performance of APC, the way they will all jump on it to divert the discussion.

Major tactics are to insult Peter Obi, Obidients, Igbos and then call IPOB terrorist.

I believe they will send in the screenshots of their attacks to their pay masters to get paid. It is a vicious circle of poverty. As the hardship in the country increases, the e-warriors need to attack more to earn their peanuts. If not, hunger will finish them.

So my country men, when you see their replies, pray for them. They are trying to feed their families. No be clear eye.

We are doing it patroiticaly for free. But if you magnanimously like to pay us for this, we will gladly accept.

doncartel:
Atiku, we need 15 million of your supporters to join us on field for the protest. 25 million Obidients are already on ground coming from different geo-political zones. Kwankwaso has promised 5 million men while we have 4 ships of cutlasses and other weapons coming from China.

"4 ships of cutlasses and other weapons coming from China".

Remember to add Atiku amongst those whom your ragtag army will attack,because he is part of the Nigeria problems.

ifeco4:
I'm I surprised? Not a bit.

Why am I not surprised? Very simple, the world is connected via internet and what happens at your backward, is well known to those in other continent without your knowledge.
Why did I say this? In 2023 general elections, Lagos state and YORUBAS in general denied their brother because his mom is from a tribe they don't like their face. They Said he is not a Lagosian and by extension, not a Yoruba. They went further to say he should go and contest in Anambra or Abia state. And you think the whole world is not watching?

Your Vaughan was disqualified because he dishonoured and insulted his father's Yoruba lineage.

Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Lagos always leading the pack but Bayelsa, Lagos and Delta are the most annoying of the pack as their governors can't account or justify these huge allocations. All the governors are the next band of super corrupt looters after the FG using the instrumentality of the NGF starting from the 1999 set.

See them fighting against implementation and payment of the new minimum wage yet asking suffering citizens to continue to endure their stupendously opulence lifestyles is really nauseating.

Take Lagos State out of it. The state government is doing a lot to change the face of the mega city.

E choke oo... I already dey enjoy for Kigali. When Una finish am let me know make I come home

When we finish dealing with Tinubu, and start enjoying, stay in your Kigali forever.

Sorry sir, we will promote Christian-Christian ticket in the next election.

RealDaughter:
Very very , The truth is that the protest would be wild, weather planned peaceful or not,when hunger don turn the masses in beasts,God punish their father,Let them have in mind that anything that will bring the people out the street is going to be bloody, You can't release is hungry lion and expect it to act like a Lamb,their father,my Joy is that the Hatred most people are channeling to the Igbos God dey direct go else where,,Umu chineke go just cross leg dey shop pepe soup when this heavy rain go start..

Be on the streets on those 10 days to shake this government. Please don't hide, the more we are in the protest, the more the government will fear the Voice of the People.

kingbee90:
Peaceful protests is part of your constitutional rights in a democratic country like Nigeria especially if the Government is not meeting up to your expectations.

But Agbadorians who are enemies of Nigeria & against the protest want all Nigerians to :

-Keep suffering & smiling like them.
-Continue buying fuel close to 1k/Ltr.
-Hailing the Gov for destroying the economy
-Continue buying Garri @ 4k/paint rubber
-Buying a cup of Rice for N450 & almost 100k/Bag.
-Paying high electricity bill without steady power supply.
-Enjoy being kidnapped by Bandits & paying ransom.

Meanwhile, Tinubu protested:
* in the 2012 "Occupy Nigeria" protest when GEJ removed subsidy & fuel was less than N200/Ltr
*Bring Back Our Girls Protest.

Agbadorians are truly our enemies.

August 1-10 is your days to give it to Tinubu hot-hot on the streets. Hope you will be there, and will not hide in your room as a closet activist.

dkidd:
Tinubu put us for chokehold Una dey here dey debate about Kamala and Trump. Be like Una need more pressure till Una no fit breath

August 1-10 is Tinubu's gbas gbos days. Hope to see you there.

Kamala stands no chance against Trump.

Go and mark it down somewhere, Trump will win with a wide margin

Hian! That Hitler and Putin wannabe will win nada. Go write it down somewhere.

danvon:
Let the August 1st reach, I've bought popcorn I want to watch drama.

Some people are playing 'wait-and-see' politics.

You are required at the battle front on August 1-10, and not to sit down at home to monitor the protest actions.

Nigeria needs a little disorder for a reset of its governmental chicanery.

okuta007:
ya ma ma tow tow - go and di e 😂😂😂

You need psychiatric attention, quickly visit your favorite therapist.

There are a lot of weirdos in Tinubu's government speaking out of turn and embarrassing his administration. For example, Onanuga, this Uju and that Hausa man denigrating Dangote products. It seems Tinubu has lost control of his government, with criminals controlling every one of his prominent departments. He needs to wake up quickly and put a tight rein on his officials.

Tinubu government appears to be a government of criminals by the criminals. It is a shame if Uju's allegations are true.

okuta007:
I hav been voting somce 2004 idiot.. you think everyone here on nairaland is a low lofe iklegal immigrant like you? be deceiving yourself thinking everyone here is a failure like you - agbaya

You have been living in the US and have been voting there since 2004, which is 20 years ago, yet to write a simple correct grammar, you are finding it difficult, except to abuse and curse. So between me and you who is a low life and an agbaya?

Only foooools & bastaaards will ever vote anything APC in any part of Nigeria again!

Banza shégé!

FYI, APC just won all the LG Chairmanship and Councillorship positions in Ebonyi. Are you saying all the Igb0s that voted for them are "foooools & bastaaards"?
