KEVIND:
The best lesson is the sad conversation btw a Northerner and a Yoruba man:

North: This tinubu is by far the most useless Fresident to walk the face of za earth. We must destabilize his presidency. He must go. We will protest and riot till he leaves office.

Yoruba man: The igbos are gaslighting the north. The igbos are tribalistic. The igbos must go.

North: Are you saying we are incapable of thinking for ourselves? Is that an insult? Are you useless? Are you cursed? Are you Yorubas trying to insult us??

Yoruba: Obi will never be President. Igbos must leave our region. We cannot allow igbos to come to our region.

North: undecided undecided undecided undecided

Yoruba: Igbos are wicked. They are tribalistic. Igbos are the problem. Igbos are petty. Igbos are this; igbos are that..

North: We are not igbos. Why do you keep mentioning igbos? We are talking about the useless President that has made life unbearable for everyone of us. He must go!!

Yoruba: You see Nnamdi Kanu, he must die in Prison. That man is a very wicked man. He must perish in hell.

North: But we kill your people. Why don’t you ever insult us? We killed your obas, we oppress you, we insult you, we do all these things to you. Why don’t you ever speak against us??

Yoruba: We know all you do, we see all you do but IPOB is evil. Obidients are the worse! Obi must never be President. Igbos must die. Igbos must go. Igbos must perish.

North: lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed undecided undecided undecided

Igbos: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I refuse to be a coward!!!

atiku4President:
Farooq likes writing big grammar. Who is he talking to? Ordinary Nigerians or university professors? He will likely be a bad leader if given the opportunity to rule like those he constantly criticises because he has refused to subsidise his grammar to appeal to the common man on the street.

It is no longer news that the protesters have publicized several demands and have not met to converge on what they want. Let us look at some of the demands.

(1) Scrapping of the 1999 constitution and replacement with a people-made constitution
If the constitution is scrapped, what would Nigeria be governed with? If they need a people-made constitution, where is their own manuscript for that constitution? Do they think a constitution is something that is just written like a homework?

This specific demand is a call for an interim government, and possibly military rule. Once the constitution is suspended, Tinubu ceases to be president because his powers as president are legitimized by the constituion.

(2) Toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian legislative system
There is no where, there is no constitution that gives President Tinubu or anyone the powers to scrap a part of any arm of government. This can only be done by the military. This specific demand also calls for military rule. The other demand to make legislative work part-time would require a constitutional amendment. Tinubu does not have the powers to make that amendment by fiat.

(3) Increase minimum wage of Nigerian workers to 250,000 naira monthly
This is something the president can do. Unfortunately, how many governors have been able to pay 30,000 naira monthly? How many can even pay 70,000 monthly, with the Gombe State governor already saying he won't be able to afford it? Thise who work in the public sector enjoy a lot of allowances, and lucrative trainings abroad and travelling. The salary is just what it is. There is a government agency that even gives all cadres of workers fuel allowance. Unfortunately, many states civil service won't be able to afford this. So 250,000 across board might not be accomplished and the president cannot be responsible for paying states' civil servants.

(4) Invest heavily in education and give students grants, not loans and compulsory education across Nigeria
Some public universities institute scholarships for bright students as far back as 20 years ago. Some universities take over the fees of students on track to first class. Many states have bursaries with which they support students. Agencies like TETFUND? NDDC and PTDF have consistently funded students within and outside Nigeria. I won't support giving grants to dullards. Let everyone win grants on merit as it has always been.

The protesters may not know that agencies like UBEC had tried to tackle the issue of compulsory education, but even after FG releases money, some states fail to pay their counterpart funding. fPresident Jonathan built some almajiri schools; what is the state of the schools today? In my view, each state can decide to deal with the problem of free and compulsory education on their own.

(5) Unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, demilitarization of the southeast and release and compensation of EndSARS protesters
Nnamdi Kanu's case is in court, why not allow the process to be seen to the end? As for demilitarization of the southeast, similar calls were made by Borno elders to former president Jonathan as they claimed the military was killing their children. Jonathan asked Borno elders to guarantee him they'd ensure an end to terrorism in their domain. They refused to assure him. It is the military that has ensured things have not become worse than they are right now.

As for unconditional release and compensation for all EndSARS protesters, are the protesters aware that some of those who claimed to be EndSARS protesters looted public properties and businesses? Are they calling for their release as well? In my view, those who committed crimes must be punished.

(6) Renationalize public enterprises sold to government officials and cronies
Would be nice to know the specific public enterprises and the government officials who purchased them. I am sure the protesters are not aware of OPL 245 and the Malabu scandal that has ruined Nigeria's chances of making good money from that lucrative oil well? Even if the assets were sold corruptly, it cannot be retrieved by fiat. There is a process that can drag for many years. Only the military or an autocrat can reverse things like this.

(7) Reinitiation of a corrupt-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.
This makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the same Nigerians will abuse the subsidy regime. Even the bags of rice that were donated, no matter how paltry; didn't some people attempt to rebag the rice to sell?

(8.) Probing the past and present Nigerian leaders who looted the treasury, recovering the loot and putting the funds in a special account to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure
In other words, Nigeria should spend years on litigation. How about block loopholes so that no one can loot again?

(9) Restructuring Nigeria to accommodate diversity, resource control decentralization and regional autonomy
This makes sense. Unfortunately, people from Mars will not be in charge of the regions. Look at NDDC that failed the Niger Delta people. Restructuring Nigeria will require a constitutional amendement and Tinubu cannot do it by fiat.

(10) End banditry and terrorism and violent crimes
Why was this not point number 1? This is something the president can and must do. Everyone must work with him on this. The parents of the bandits, kidnappers and terrorists must give up their children; the rogue businessmen, religious leaders and local politicians must give up their businesses and report their footsoldiers to the authorities. The era of "he must not kill our people" must stop. Terrorism has destroyed the peace in most states and must be dealt with decisively.

(11) Estabishing a special energy fund to drive investments in the power sector
Didn't Buhari sign a bill into law to allow states generate their own electricity? How many states have taken advantage of it? Didn't Nigeria also secure an energy development bank for Africa to be headquarted in Abuja recently to identify and develop Africa's energy sources? Of course, Nigeria will take advantage of this.

(12) Reconstitution of Nigeria's electoral body to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks
We have heard so much accusation of the INEC chairman being bribed and thereby compromising the election. How much was he given? How was the money paid? In which account was it deposited? We need to be careful the way we throw accusations to soil people's names.

(13) Massive investment in public works and industrialization to eploy Nigerians
Many among the youth publicly opposed the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway and sided with Landmark, despite his properties not adversely affected. We must all agree on what we want as a people.

(14) Massive shake up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generation of judges
Historically, the Nigerian Judicial Commission has destroyed many judges implicated for corruption. There was one hearing an elections petitions case and received a donation for his father's funeral from the defendant's lawyer, who was a SAN. They fired the judge and had the lawyer derobed of his SAN. Many judges have had their promotion stunted and dismissed. Because of the way the judiciary is, these things are not always in the press.

(15) Disapora voting
This is needed.

Dancebreaker:
Nobody gaslighted nobody.

There are for more poor people/almajiri hit by Tinubu's arrogantly bad policies in the North.

An average Igbo can survive on one decent meal a day and you won't hear pim. They are resourceful and resilient.
So, they are not protesting.

They know that if the join, SW and North will use them to settle.

zeuss:
Noise of a raving psychopath......for more than 1 months igbo shouted it that they will not be a part of any protest. Infact they love Tinubu's government.
The north is masking it's plan to make the country ungovernable for tinubu by blaming igbo for what they designed.

Goodvibes007:
She, Charlie boy, and the Agulu fraud. Birds of the same feather.

They gaslighted the north, and those ones looted and destroyed their own infrastructure, and she declares that Nigeria is already winning.

When state governors in the North are declaring curfews, how is Nigeria winning?

When IPOB are still on a murderous rampage in the SE, how is Nigeria winning?
