[quote author=boljay80 post=131089974][/quote]You still haven't shown me any evidence of massacre by the Nigerian soldiers during GEJ's administration. Deploying soldiers is totally different from Deploying soldiers to massacre.

Show any video evidence of soldiers shooting innocent protesters during GEJ's reign.

The main point I am making remains that the Tinubu-backed Buhari regime started firing live ammunition and massacring innocent protesters around the Lekki tollgate area. This fact cannot be wished away.

raskymonojendor:
Tinubu and others protested peacefully.
EndSars started peacefully until IPOB hijacked it.

So you mean to convince me that those peaceful protesters at Lekki tollgate who were singing peacefully while the army opened fire, were IPOB members?

How come none of the Lekki tollgate protesters had guns?
Also how come there was no ESN around that time, as ESN only came into being some many months after the Lekki tollgate massacre.

You think you can fool people. Bear in mind that I have never been a suporter of Nnamdi Kanu, as I believe he does not have what it takes to lead any movement.

Google it and you will see that the Lekki tollgate massacre precipitated the mayhem that followed.
Before the massacre by the Tinubu-supported Buhari regime, the protests were largely peaceful.

TimeManager:
Yes, he did. Army killed people during the protest, including a young boy. Yet, the opposition did not go destroying public assets and looting stores.

-Kiss the truth!

Show us evidence of GEJ sending in the military to massacre people, and you are here giving me a hearsay of one little boy that died.

Show us evidence of massacre. We need to see blood-stained Nigerian flags, the venues were those soldiers were deployed to kill Tinubu's protesters.
We also need you to explain why Onanuga claimed that their protest was successful, even though you now say that people were killed. TDoes it mean Tinubu and his asslickers don't consider the little boy's death as something worth raising as an issue?

Obviously a fake press release as there is no source.

Tinubu is very desperate

Whoever told him Igbos even listen to Ohanaeze.

It's just that Igbos have chosen not to lead any protests for the moment.

TimeManager:
When opposition protested against GEJ, show us any public assets that was burnt down like you did during ENDSARS.

-Kiss the truth!

When Tinubu instigated those protests against GEJ, show us evidence of GEJ sending in the military to massacre Tinubu's protesters.

You tend to forget that the Lekki tollgate massacre caused people to retaliate by damaging properties, which I don't support btw.

Pepper dem

The drug dealer nepotistic president has no idea what to do to salvage the nation economically.

Their usual anti-Igbo diatribe doesn't seem to be working again. Of course there will be very painful consequences for those tribalistic comments in due course. God is dealing with Tinubu's criminal government.

sIfioksq:
While it's easy to point fingers, we should give Tinubu a chance to implement his vision for Nigeria. Change takes time, and with unity, we can overcome our challenges together. Let's focus on constructive dialogue rather than division.

Which unity? The same Tinubu whose minions have been instigating anti-Igbo hatred for a few years now.

Even though Igbos are not a part of the coming protest, Tinubu should not expect any sympathy from the Igbos.

Tinubu has been influential in Nigeria's federal government for more than 9 years and counting.

People no longer have any patience to dash him. He was relying on his usual anti-Igbo rhetorics to use to hypnotise Nigerians yet again, but that technique seems to have failed woefully. Hunger knows how to reset brains.

Dsimmer:
What map exactly? What's even Igbo? Bini and Igala gave the name Igbo to the Ibo who are known as Uzibwo before Bini and Igala gave the name Ibo or Igbo to the Uzibwo slaves under them.

Anyways, Yoruba know their territory , even as the old map depict it. Ibo boundary is in the East. If the people who say they've got ancestral link with the Bini don't want to go with the Ibo, how is it Yoruba's business?Sink that into your criminal brain to begin with.

As a matter of fact, everyone hardly knew each other, even as the old map depicts. Until the British came to draw everyone into Nigeria. Fact is Nigeria is an ethnographic country, a fact which the British noted! Also, regionalism was the best highlight of the country and anyone who says he wants the best for the country must return it to the best highlight of the country which is regionalism system.

Your gaslighting is not working.

Regionalism should not be a part of the demands. Even if it is, it shouldn't be a show stopper.
There will be no breathing space for Tinubu. No cunning ways to discourage the northerners from embarking in their planned protests.

And by the way, thank God Anioma people now want their own state. Igbos may even have to expel the Olukumi people back to their Yoruba people, as Igbos need every peace of land within the Igbo territory

Dsimmer:
Dey play.

If it's not a protest for the return of regionalism, then no idiot has a right to protest unless it's a protest for the return of regionalism which was the best highlight of the country.

Useless idiots with ulterior motives. Which protest exactly? The only protest should be for the return of regionalism!

There will be no protest for regionalism, especially after we saw the map one Yoruba elder drew whereby he ceded Igbo territories to other zones. It will never fly in Igboland.

The northerners planning these protests should just concentrate on the hunger and current hardship in Nigeria. Tinubu's people want to throw in the regionalism line to discourage northerners from going ahead with their protests.

Cunny man die, cunny man bury am

Goodvibes007:
This is what you did with EndSars, you are now hiding under the Obidient movement banner this time around.

When Mefor made the post below, he was Nnamdi Kanu's deputy.

Your blackmail is not working.

If you want you can send out one million anti-Igbo placards. The organisers of the protest are marshalling out their demands. Your drug-dealer certificate-forging president needs to respond in a way that will not flush him out of power.

One thing is for certain, Igbos will not help him out. We go just siddon look, or come after Tinubu if he tries to go after Peter Obi.

Goodvibes007:
They are Obidients. That is one of two pictures they created and are sharing all over their Twitter profiles and spaces. The ibos make up the majority of the Obidients as well.

They are hoping to use the foolish protest to dislodge the president. Mumu people.

nwokem you lack what it takes to blackmail Igbos.

The organisers of the protest are already telling you guys that any killings will result in the protests seeking Tinubu's removal as the president.

Igbos have already told you all publicly that we will not join the protest, even though we agree with the points raised by the protesters.

You better go and warn your drug-dealing agbado master. Time for gra-gra is over. This is time to lead the nation right.

Tsarbomba:
We the SS are warming up for the peaceful protest. Hunger and bad leadership knows no region. Enough is Enough.!
#EndBadGovernance

Helinues will not be happy to read this

blacknp:
Another very lame excuse from a simple minded thing, Mr attaché by force you must be referring to Jonathan Ebele Goodluck Azikiwe aka “JEGA” abi?

Yes

The man from Bayelsa.

And by the way, are you not seeking for the Igbos to attache by force to an incompetent drug-dealer of a president from the SW? Someone who actively undermined the only ever SS president of Nigeria

blacknp:
Very lame excuse from a simple minded thing.

Obviously Igbo pains mean nothing to you.

All you want is Igbo support for Ronu perceived enemies. That will never happen.
Igbos remember how ronus betrayed the only ever SS/Ijaw president of Nigeria. We will never forget that. We already know how you guys operate.

blacknp:
Just so happens that some disgruntled Southerners from the East are supporting their masters in the North against their southern brothers from the West.

The southern brothers from the west that have been destroying Igbo properties in Lagos and preventing Igbos from casting their constitutionally-guaranteed votes in Lagos.

Tochitee:
Who does not know that before?? Only people that are not sensitive.they do everything to distract you that the five plots of land will not take part in any protest,but they will everly reveal their unintelligent/ evil intentions on line. Thank God,they are unintelligent anyway,we will always exploit that!They already released the list of people they have marked to be assasinated! Let me warned you ipob,s,if you think that this is ‘end sars era,you need to go back to your sleep! Yorubas will do everything to protect Lagos! We know what you habour for Lagos! We will avenged the rubbish you tried during end sars!

You can bleat all you like, northerners are still going on with their planned protest on the 1st of August.

Hunger is in the land, and your usual anti-Igbo propaganda cannot stop the hunger pangs troubling a hungry northerner.

Blackmails don't work at this point in time. Let Emilokan improve the economy drastically within the next few days, otherwise the ordinary norherner will be out in the streets to protest.

Lovenorth:
So Igbos are afraid of blame? . Go ahead and blame us to see if we care. Majority are not afraid of blame. And look, we have already achieved the aim of the protest by the actions of the president for the last two days but the protest must continue unless the president call us for a meaningful dialogue which he must do before the date

Do you know how many Igbos were killed because of ENDSARS?

Do you know that hundreds of Igbos were killed in Obigbo Rivers state, because of ENDSARS.

You are obviously not aware. Oh so you think Igbos are talking about just vocal blaming.

The Nigerian army was sent in to kill hundreds of Igbos, and when this was happening, all the other ethnic groups that took part in the ENDSARS protest kept quiet.
Some of them even went ahead to blame Igbos for ENDSARS. Some of those Igbos are still languishing in unknown military detention centres.

Lovenorth:
Good one, we don't need their presence in the protest, we have the number to achieve our goal without the participation of the minority. We voted for Tinubu single handedly without Igbos so we don't need them now. Tinubu knows that if the North blacklist him he automatically lost his chances in the next election. You didn't vote for him so your boycotting the protest is inconsquential

From what you wrote above it is clear you are not very intelligent.

That Igbos will not be taking part in the protest, does not mean that Igbos don't want to take part in it.

Our history has taught us some bitter lessons, which is why a lot of Igbos have chosen not to be a part of it.

Even the tone of your message above, suggests you would be one of those people who will turn around to blame Igbos for the protest, if Igbos were to be a part of the protest.
So Igbos are making a very good decision not to be a part of it.

valentineuwakwe:
Are the igbos in the north and west not suffering too from this economic hardship? Why must we tribalised a simple protest meant to sent a message to the government about there bad policies?
I wept for this country!

All these protests start off with good intentions, until they all decide to gang up against the Igbos.

Remember the 1966 coup started with good intentions

Remember ENDSARS.

Of course, every Igbo man supports the argument and points of the protesters, and would have been part of the protest, but we have to take a peek from history, and properly imbibe how Igbos have been treated in the aftermath of these protests and revolutions.

But rest assured that Igbos will never support Tinubu. He is the worst president ever, in the history of Nigeria. Igbos will most definitely not be part of any counter-protest in support of Tinubu.

But let those who have sworn that an Igbo man will never be the president of the country, take the lead in this protest. They shouldn't only be seeking Igbo cooperation when it comes to protests, but will rather elect a drug-dealer as their president, instead of a competent Igbo man.

What we are experiencing now is a consequence of their gang-up nepotism against Ndigbo in 2023.

By the way, this Ohanaeze Youth Council let by Isiguzoro is a Tinubu-supporting fringe faction of Ohanaeze. Igbos not officially taking part in the protest should not be misconstrued as Igbos having regard for Isiguzoro's 419 of an Ohanaeze faction.

JAMO84:
Who cares, go and tell your people to stop crying all over social media.

On twitter and elsewhere, for every one Igbo person supporting the upcoming protests, there are 10 Yorubas supporting it and about 13 northerners supporting it.

So Igbo people are largely not going to play any part in it. Igbos may however, be dragged into the protests/revolution, if the Lagos state government tries nonsense against the Igbos, during that protest.

JAMO84:
When this hardship began, Yoruba where the first to call out the President, we where the first to stage a protest in Ibadan. While we were doing that, some people were mocking us with bottles of beer and ishiewu, they said we were the only hungry tribe in Nigeria shouting Ebin pawa. Now we said we don't want to protest anymore, they're accusing us of tribalism. I wonder what they want from us. We protest, they said it's because we are poor, we don't protest, we are tribalists.

The region that claim to be 99% billionaires are the ones pushing this protest on all social media platforms. I wonder why billionaires are worried about inflation.

You can try all the reverse psychology that you like, Igbos are not joining your protest.

Igbos didn't join in the hunger protests of a few months ago. Igbos will also not be joining this planned protest.

pazienza:
I don't think the government are interested in such.
Tinubu want to rule and pack his money in peace.
Ndiigbo should stay clear.
Simply hiring private security agents, police and military to protect the markets will get the job done in my humble opinion.
Let's stop the paranoid attitude.
Tinubu need the markets doing well and remitting enough tax for him to recoup his investments into Nigerian politics.
Why should he want to destroy the market if we don't start joining the stupid protest?

It doesn't make sense nwannem.

A government that demolished LANDMARK and countless other Igbo business interests, may be more interested in their Lagos political hegemony than the tax remittances the government are getting from business establishments.

Well let us hope the Lagos state government will not disturb the hornet's nest, as things could spiral. Ordinarily, one should expect governments to protest business interests are they are a huge source of income for the state, but we are living in weird times.

pazienza:
Nah.
Igbos on no account should be part of the protest.
The market associations should organise themselves and hire both police, military and private security agents to protect themselves and their wares during the protests.
They should expect their shops to be targeted for looting by the impoverished hungry masses and should prepare ahead of that.
But on no account should it be said that Igbos were involved in that stupid senseless and brainless protest, that will be a big joke.

When miscreants are involved, hiring both police and private security agents will be enough to handle the situation.

But when a state government is involved, hiring the military and security agents will usually not be enough. The government can easily shut down the market or even demolish the market just to spite Igbos, who are not even involved in the protest, and there is nothing the security agents will be able to do about it.

The best response in such a situation is to become a part of their problem by Igbos outside Igboland, joining the protest in their tens of millions.

LifestyleTonite:
After you guys have successfully incited the whole nation via your social media insults and rants, you now want to step aside and watch them burn their region. You forgot that your brothers have shops in Southwest. Once riot breaks out during the protest, those shops are usually the first target of louts and thugs.

At the moment, Lagos State Government is silent. That silence is very loud to reasonable people. You don't know what they are planning against those who want to hide under the canopy of protest to wreck havoc.

Igbos will not join in the protest and should not join in the protest.

However, if the Lagos state government tries to display bravado by targeting Igbo interests in Lagos, during the almost-nationwide protests, this may be the cue that will get Igbos to participate fully in the protest.

Around January and February during the Hunger protests, Igbos clearly said they wouldn't be a part of it, and they kept to that.
In this upcoming protest, Igbos are saying they won't be a part of it, however if Igbos feel targeted, even though they are not a part of the protest........ Let me not finish this statement. Just count your teeth with your tongue.

Ojiofor:
Oba of Lagoon dey fear protesters might target him again.He still dey look for his staff of office.

ShinnBet:
Their best location outside their SE is Abuja .

Why ?

Because in Abuja they won't face any clampdown .

If they try it anywhere outside their SE, especially in the SW and SS it will bounce back on them.

Nwokem, SW is alone. Stop trying to rope in SS into your coven.

The same SS you people worked hard to ensure that the first ever Nigerian president from the SS, never got a second term.

Keep the SS out of your mouth. That's obviously why your evil elders planned to add Ohaji-Egbema in Imo state, that currently has up to 90% of Nigeria's gas reserves, to the SS, so you can exploit it. It will never happen ma nigga

WINON1:
In 2014 when a bag of rice 20k, bag of cement 3k, exchange rate Nk270 to 1 dollar, fuel N160 per litre, you people were uncomfortable and mount on the street in protest. Labeling Goodluck Jonathan incompetent

Today we have 400% in increase in the price of things, the same people are asking Nigerians not to protest. Thank God for the social media, it is exposing their hypocrisy.

In 2014, petrol was less than N100 per litre. It climbed to around N145 per litre maybe in the second year of Buhari's presidency.

In 2014 the exchange rate was around N200 to one dollar. The exchange rate crash after a few months of Buhari's presidency.

In 2014 cement was about N2,500

In 2014 a bag of rice was less than 10k

Why do you pick Tinubu as the imaginary victim?

Because he is an INEC imaginary president

Lagos state houses the most important market in Nigeria
If Onitsha drops off the surface of the earth Nigeria will not notice

If Onitsha drops off the surface of the earth, Lagos will immediately notice.
It will affect Lagos so drastically that Lagos may go into permanent decline

busybiz:
It could be true but no data from any institution just something that has been bandied all over the place?
To my mind,I think ships usually are birthed in Lagos,mostly bringing goods to Nigeria.
I think it is more probable to say that Balogun Market is the largest in Nigeria just like some people have claimed in my screenshot.
Or maybe no one knows the biggest market in Nigeria?

When 70% of all the shipped cargoes that come into Nigeria, head to Onitsha, tell me what it is that Balogun sells, because I am pretty certain that the remaining 30% are not sent to Balogun market. In fact I can even make an intelligent guess that Balogun does not even consume up to 10% of the remainder cargoes.

busybiz:
Everybody is saying that their market is the biggest and largest.
Which one exactly is the largest in Africa?

Nwokem, Onitsha accounts for 70% of shipped cargoes arriving in Lagos.
I bet Balogun market probably accounts for about 4 containers per day

Merkato is an OPEN-AIR market, and even at that, I am sure the volume of trade in that market is not up to 5% of what happens in Onitsha, otherwise the ethnic group that owns that market would have been one of the richest ethnic groups in Africa.

Onitsha is their daddy
