Yet the same north watched Buhari for 8 good wasted yrs. The north looked away while Buhari govt introduced this hardship since 2015. Instead of reacting, the northern elites were so quiet because Buhari is from there.
In 2020 during the endears protest that saw the killing of innocent Nigerians, Buhari was the one who ordered the military to invade law abiding citizens of this country for doing what was tgeir constitutional right, how many northerners joined the protest against Sara brutality?
Now, this particular protest is gaining traction from the northern part of the country bcoz the President is from the south and not them. They wish is them again after uninterrupted 8yrs.
The north can't accept patient from rotation of same turned they already enjoyed theirs
savenaijatoday: Sometimes I wonder the type of country we want to build with envy, hate and tribal foolishness. Maybe that's how to build a united prosperous nation. You know my people are very learned. North is already perfecting their anti-Tinubu protest but they're searching for one protester in the southeast to blame. Is this weakness or courage? I don't know when we will learn.
Nigerians don't need ur Igbo to protest before their grievance can be felt by the govt, our only plea to ur Igbo folks is not to hijack our peaceful protest over hunger for their election lost anger.
Bookhub: We may become another sudan or somalia if care is not taken,non state actors may hijack the protest for their own selfish objectives ,if Nigeria disintegrates because of this protest tinubu and his cohorts are to be blamed because the masses are suffering you are busy buyng presidential jets creating useless offices making the rich richer and the poor poorer insulting the intelligence of Nigerians here we may go the way of Soviet Union an unworkable nation.
Oga shut up! Can't people protest in peace without you reading unnecessary meaning to it.
Disintegration has nothing to do with protest by citizens to their govt unless u have ulterior movitives which can either interpret u're trying to hijack the protest to suits ur primordia agenda.
TheRareGem1: The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has asked the organisers of the proposed August 1 nationwide protest to rescind their decision, noting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is acutely aware of the current plights of Nigerians and that he is working tirelessly and meticulously to resolve them.
He said what is required is for Nigerians to stand united, embracing a strong sense of patriotism and national pride, with firm support for the president as he leads the nation through this transformative period.
Tunji-Ojo, in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja, noted that the nation’s journey in about 64 years of independence has never been easy, but through collective resilience and patriotism, significant strides could be made
The statement read in part: “Sixty-four years after attaining sovereign status, our beloved nation has consciously strived towards the realisation of a better Nigeria.
“We stand at a pivotal moment in our history, where acknowledging our achievements and recognising the surmountable challenges ahead is essential
It is in this spirit of reflection and resolve that I find solace—and consider it a profound blessing—that we have a president who is bold, audacious, and tenacious enough to face these difficulties
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated unparalleled boldness and tenacity in confronting and addressing the longstanding issues that plague our nation
His unwavering commitment to overcoming these challenges is evident in every action he takes. President Tinubu is acutely aware of the current plights of Nigerians, and he is working tirelessly and meticulously to resolve them
In these times of both challenge and opportunity, it is imperative that we, the people of Nigeria, come together with renewed vigour and unwavering support for President Tinubu’s administration.
“Our nation’s journey has never been easy, but it is through our collective resilience and patriotism that we have made significant strides
He is not just a leader; he is a symbol of our collective aspirations for a prosperous and equitable Nigeria.
“Now, more than ever, we must rally behind President Tinubu’s vision for our country. His administration is dedicated to creating lasting solutions that will uplift every Nigerian, ensuring that our future is one of hope, opportunity, and justice.
“Let us renew our commitment to this noble cause, knowing that together we can overcome any obstacle and achieve the Nigeria of our dreams.
“As we embark on this journey, let us remember that the strength of our nation lies in our unity and our unwavering belief in a brighter future. President Tinubu is leading us with courage and determination, and with our support, there is no challenge we cannot surmount.
“Let us stand together, Nigeria, and renew our pledge to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he works diligently to build a better, stronger, and more prosperous Nigeria for all,” he stated
“We call upon every Nigerian to stand united, embracing a strong sense of patriotism and national pride. Our support and commitment are crucial as President Tinubu leads us through this transformative period
Decades of challenges can't be addressed in a single term of 4yrs except when a leader careless what becomes of his subjects.
The foundation is faulty, the constitution isn't a people centered and so many ills but it's always comfortable to address it where it hardened the common man.
The sacrifice should start from the top where national assembly show by example by reducing its overhead and her expenditure.
We don't need unicameral legislation, it should be bi-camera or at best a part term basis. What do we need two chambers for when we can try to cut-cost and reduce unnecessary spending on politicians
Every average Nigerian want to become a politician because is the only way to escape poverty.
jesusjnr2020: Madman Rejects Offering After Preach To Crowd, Says "Give It To The Poor"
It was astonishing to see a mad man preaching the true Gospel of Jesus that is lacking in most churches today, including giving alms to the poor and needy.
Adewale1603: I swear. What if the complainant is lying. They would now remove money from the recepitent account back to him. How do people even make mistakes of sending money to wrong accounts numbers, like you didn't confirm and check the account number you input and the account name, it should bring out, even if the account number were wrong, at least you should know by the account name, it brings out, how do people still make mistakes baffles me.
Mistakes know no bounds. Sometimes, rushing while engaging in a multi task may be a cause because it has happened to me before but the question I asked myself was, how did I send it without confirming the name but it is what it is...the mistake happened after all.
SisterRamota: Reverse is the case here. It is Obi that dumped him. Kenneth is a hungry political jobber.
Oga shut up!
Obi isn't the Messiah you're selling to people and the people have witnessed his hypocrite and deceit.
Obi is a chronic liar who is worse compare to any Nigerian politician, instead of voting obi I would rather go back to sleep.
Obi is a sheep in wolve skin, only pretending to be a liberal so he can wrestle power at the center but little did he know that his past antecedents gave him up.
His off guide slip of recent is a testimony to his personality and how eroded his ideologies.
He's not a man of integrity as claim in the media or perceived.
Nigerians have seen him more than he imagined and they have realized the search for their Messiah continues in earnest and definitely not Peter who can easily sell them to highest bidder as he did his home state (Anambra)
Obakoolex: Chaiiiiiiiiiii Kenneth you cannot withstand Obidients heat
What heat?
Really are u sure about ur heat against a man who knows the truth but who was the arrowhead months back, who bare ur all against all odds in support of Peter Obi and his obidients guns?
SadiqBabaSani: Let the protest organizers release a proposal for the said scraping of the constitution.
Sowore is the one who put that there.
Sowore is snake,
Hunger protest is the main cause of action,
Corruption must be dealt with.
All those accused of corruption must forfeit their loot to the government
The right thing to demand first is national conference where referendum to set aside the constitution can be done and the president will agree to step aside and an interim govt install who will over see the need draft constitution and organize a new election that produces a president.
They claimed they're the developer of the state but it's Cristal clear now what they're doing in Lagos, trying to turn out state to where they left and can't return back to but we will never allow you
Roving1: Tompolo Appeals To Nigerians To Shelve Proposed Protest
The Chairman of Tanita Security Services Nigeria Limited and the Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), has appealed to those behind the planned August 1st to 10th, 2024nationwide protest to shelve it in the interest of the nation and people
In a press statement on Friday, August 26th, 2024, the Tanita boss, while adding his voice to all-meaning Nigerians, including traditional rulers, on call to shelve the proposed hardship protest, admitted that hunger and hardship exist in the country.
But he quickly pointed out that hunger and hardship never started today, saying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was working hard to revamp the economy with well-thought-out policies and programmes. These addressed the issues of the economy and security, which are the basis of other problems in the country.
“I am aware of Mr. President’s efforts to get things right in the country, and thing...
Tompolo this Oòni that all are busy begging Nigerians against protesting over hardship and all of them are saying one thing at a time that the youth should shelve planned protest on August 1st.
Since Tinubu took over the mantle, our hardship has triggered from 1 paint of garri to beans and rice including common biscuits are all sparked and price out of market.
Nobody can afford ordinary garri again and the inflation is multiple digits one never since history.
How many house can afford again 3 daily square meal?
Salewa97: Na wa o! This is the kind of commitment we need in our politics.
Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah is showing true leadership by supporting APC in Anambra. That N71 million donation is not just money; it’s a clear sign that he believes in the vision of our great party.
Let others take note, because APC is the party to beat! With such dedication, we are definitely moving forward and making Anambra a stronger state. Let’s keep pushing for progress!
And in another news we heard Ifeanyi died in London just after this very news but I don't know how true is the news.
Nobody want Tinubu resignation, all we ask for is to make things affordable the hardship is too much. If some unscrupulous individual want to use our hardship protest to address their personal grievance they should use other alternative available to them.
Don't hijack our peaceful protest and our demands are legitimate as citizens of Nigeria in a democratic settings.
Any group or individual disguising as protester just to hijack our protest should stay clear we warn
Later they will disagree with upcoming generations that they never visited Lagos to study her developmental ideologies same way Binin are trying to distort history with their ancestors to Ile-ifẹ
E be like sey can dey mad...do they understand the hell we have seen in the last one yr of this scam govt?
Starting from Buhari in 2015 all we were being told was to be patient things would be better, that tough decision needs to be taken for things to get better but what do we end up with for 8yrs? It's hardship.
Imagine going through such tough and difficult times. I lose my business in Abuja due to bad decisions of Buhari govt because of it I returned to lagos since I couldn't meet up in Abuja.
hammer567: CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YORUBA MEN ARE SHOUTING IGBO OVER A PLANNED PROTEST THAT VIRTUALLY ALL IGBO ORGANISATIONS HAVE DENOUNCE ANY INVOLVEMENT FROM OHANAEZE TO IPOB AND IGBO GOVERNORS.
WHEN YORUBA DID NATIONWIDE PROTEST AGAINST GEJ, DID THEY SEE ANYBODY SHOUTING YORUBA?
THIS IGBO LINE IS NOW OFFICIALLY DEAD, E NO DEY WORK AGAIN, COME WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
PEOPLE ARE TIRED AND U HAVE OFFICIALLY KILLED AND OVER FLOGGED IT.
I'm not against any Nigerian protesting against hunger but why are the igbos taking beyond necessary?
Igbos is a major problem, at least allow people to do their protest in peace after all u said the hardship didn't concerna you that u're living fine but why are u the one in the forefront and using the worse placard which is now generating clamp down on the protest
They will deceive poor masses into applying for vacancies they have already filled through the backdoor .
God bless you!
Since NNPC was founded how many vacancies have they advertised and successfully employed ordinary Nigerians into it's fold?
They practically give out the slots to themselves and families as part of quota system.
Tye senators and reps u kill urself to vote are the ones taking everything which should ordinarily be ur benefit. They send their children abroad to study just to come back and take over NNPC or Nigeria port authority jobs while ur own children are here roaming the streets
This is a man who protested against military junta and a purported Democrat is clamping down on legitimate protests over hardship Nigerians are going through.
What a time to be alive!
Tinubu is scared right now and peeing in his panties
