You will be cursed if you lie on me that i support whom i don't support! I don't support terrorism whether USA, Boko haram, IPOB, IDF, etc.

Is blasphemy/Apostasy killing not in your Bible?

Watianoengineer:
I regret voting this government honestly. Feeding and running the home is extremely difficult. I'm thinking of running away from my wife and children.


This regime did not favor me and my Family

LegendHero:
Yes, he is a politician and he’s protesting because his interest is about making sure PDP collapse.

Why do you think opposition politician protest in every country of the world?

emkz:
While the article looks like PR for the government, I think the protests failed for the following reasons:

(1) Nigerians are still reeling from the outcome of the August protests where people's homes were bungled, personal properties were destroyed, including people's cars; destroying common public properties like street lights and public utilities; and people called for regime change and asked for Russian intervention. It must also be included, those who died and whose names have never been known or photographs released, with the protest leaders showing no regard for their families.

(2) Historically, successful protests were organic, not mechanical as the Nigerian #FearlessInOctober. You do not give dates for protests. You just hit the streets. The immediate cause of the Arab Spring was a Tunisian Mohamed Bouazizi setting himself on fire when the wares he sold to sustain himself were seized.

(3) General suspicion of one of the protest leaders, who is seen to using the protest to express his grievances for coming 9th in the 2023 elections with less than 15,000 votes, as the people of his own home state did not reckon with him.

(4) Protest fatigue. People are generally tired of hitting the streets as they have realized protests are easily hijacked and the motives of protest leaders are insincere. For example, some of the arrowheads of the #EndSARS protests suddenly transmuted to treasurers of politicial parties where they squandered donated funds without proper accounting; became emergency activists, living la vida loca, and so on. One of them who claimed to be a lawyer to the August protesters used it to promote his legal business and suddenly started representing some people eben though he lacked cognate legal experience. For example, he filed a bail application for one VDM, but got a lawyer from Falana and Falana Chambers to argue the bail application: why couldn't the pseudo-social crusader argue the bail application himself? Talk about contracr scam, where politicians collect contracts, collect their share without doing anything and give the contract to someone else to execute.

(5) Some of the arrowheads of the August protest stayed away from the October protests. They were probably shortchanged in the funds one of them received and realized they were being used to promote someone else's pecuniary interest.

(6) People are too weak, they are suffering too much to have the strength to join any protest.

I made several comments on the October protests as I envisaged the protests would flop:

October 1st, 2024


September 30th, 2024

It flopped majorly because of apathy. People know protest won’t solve the structural problem.

Also, protest in Nigeria is never genuine, it is an avenue for some people to become rich, blackmail the government, get paid behind, and lead frustrated youths to the street without any plan.

Check the October protest demands, most of them are impossible to execute even in 3 years. How can you demand almost 50 things in a protest.

AntiChristian:
Chai!

We have limited police personnel! If for instance, 200 policemen is sent to Imo and 500 is sent to Zamfara State. Imo state will still be better secured than Zamfara! This is so because Imo will be having one Policeman manning each 28km while Zamfara is having 80km secured by each policeman!

And don't compare developed countries as we are not at their level yet!

Tayorshd87:
Breaking up will only lead to another Russia and Ukraine was in the future and nothing will change to better instead we will all start from the beginning 😢

Think before u talk or find our more reasons why Ukraine and Russia are still having issues till date

AntiChristian:
If i don't support them then may you be cursed!
Say Aamen please!





Those places are smaller and few people can occupy them! Zamfara alone is almost the entire South East. Go and learn!

AntiChristian:
God punish all terrorists in the world!

vanbonattel:
This is why food is costly.

The president they foisted on Nigeria cannot even utter a wimp about it. The army and repentant terrorists are being sent down south to continue the carnage, and some foul mouthed miscreants will be blaming Amotekun and IPOB.

AntiChristian:
Hmm!

Tayorshd87:
You are an example of failure already because this season people are still buying houses and buying cars but u are here waiting for government to perform magic whereas d government of the so call US and UK too can't do anything to curb the hardship ..

Nigerian youths like u always don't know how to embrace d truth but all d best Sha

We are in d mess together

rentAcock:
I've said it before and I will say it again. Even if Fuel hits N5000/litre or dollar reach N5000/$, I will never give up on this country. Sometimes things have to get worse before getting better due to the implementation of radical but much needed policies. We suffer now so our children can have a better future. Pushing the can down the road just to appease the populace hasn't worked and the buck stops here.

It's painful but fleeing abroad is never the solution. Everyone likes to complain of bad governance this, corruption that, but how many of you have tried to bring about positive changes in your daily lives to curtail corruption? I still see people skipping the lines at the bank after bribing the security guard or some bank worker so they can be seen before others. I still see people bribing airport staff just so they won't search their bags and things like that.

Most of these politicians were once ordinary citizens like you and I and they also decried bad governance and corruption only to continue in the same path when they got elected. This is the reason I don't have any party loyalty nor do I listen to wailing Nigerians because you are all the same like the elected officials. If we want to see this country turn around, we all need to play our part. Stop participating or promoting corruption at your current level in life, then encourage your family members and friends to do the same. Our problems will not magically disappear, it has to start at the grassroot where we all make an effort to change the culture of corruption so that with time, maybe all our collective efforts will yield positive results. Until then, we should not complain because 99% of you will be just as bad if elected today.

I doubt any estate there could be worth 250million dollars. How many acres are we speaking of here.

edungene7:
Good morning please what is your source for the stat i need it many thanks

Simeonee111:
States challenging this is a good course, for a nation like Nigeria, the fact that a body like ICPC of EFCC which are under control of the presidency and higher powers can investigate anyone they have interest in, is of great concern.
If you're not politically aligned, they can send them after you. Look at the likes of tinubu himself, akapbio, orji uzor kalu who were once efcc customers ruling us today. Decentralizing power is what's best for us

SmartPolician:
$250m! That's 0.4 trillion naira

The way these people throw numbers around would make you wonder if they are actually talking about USD or defunct Zimbabwean dollars

kedeojo:
You are politically sound cos I told a friend just some weeks ago regarding Edo election. If Wike and Fubara don't settle which I don't pray for and Wike relationship with Tinubu is still intact, then bye bye for second term for Fubara. Currently Wike still control the structure of the pdp in the state. Wike has started romancing with a formidable Ijaw politician, senator Magnus Abe, who is a staunch supporter of Tinubu and he was the campaign director in rivers before the Apc presidential primaries. He only decamped to Sdp when he fell out with Ameachi for last year governorship election but declare his supporters to vote Tinubu for president. Wike, Ameachi and Abe were good friends before they fallout. Ameachi choose Wike as chief of staff and Magnus Abe was SSG. When Ameachi nominate Wike as minister, Abe went to the Senate. Ameachi and Wike both betrayed Abe in different occasions to be governor. 2027 might just be his turn cos Wike has reconcile with him now. Emotional people will not agree with you but that is what it is. Tinubu is not Buhari cos he his a pure party man to the core. Wike has been appointing his strong political foot soldiers from rivers in Tinubu's government.

That is it.
This is why we said Dangote refinery must not fail.

Once others see that a sizeable investment like Dangote will succeed foreigners will have confidence to invest as well.

The prolific author, however, express the belief that it is unwise for anyone to advocate for a return to the regional system of government, which he described as the "Berlin strategy," which allows one ethnic group to be joined to another whose culture and language they don't share.

He argued that to get it right, Nigerians must retrace their steps to the structures that existed before the artificial amalgamation of the various ethnic groups into Nigeria.

"The structure is natural because the territories are there, and everybody knows the area of their ethnic groups," he said. "We should allow self-governance on that basis rather than using the Berlin strategy to cut those ethnic groups and join one piece with another group somewhere else whose culture they don't share."
