samuelansa6: They did not die because of the protest break, they were all 100 level students traveling back home to meet with their families and friends after finishing their exams.
The management of the university, in a circular, had ordered the closure of the institution for two weeks beginning from 30th July to 12th August, ahead of the nationwide protest slated to commence on 1st August.
It is sad that since the documentary she made, things did not change much during her lifetime. The Buhari who just entered back then when the documentary was published came back and left with no change. Things only got worse. She died at a critical time as the country is about to protest hardship in the land.The title of the documentary is a strong reflection of Nigeria today, those people who abuse japarians should watch it and find out why people are giving up. In that documentary, you will see why Nigerians started japa in the late 70s.
The company's HR should have a way of handling this, except they did not do their job or they allowed Ogas at the top to shut them. I always tell people ethics is all theory until you show yourself in action. Human nature is political and people are afraid of actions. If you carry am for head and dem sack you, what reward is there? Now, it is in the media, what reward is there for those who did the right thing and possibly were sidelined In this world, teach your children ethics and the value of a good name. It will make them go far in life.
Calitoscassius: That is not even a problem, people seem to have forgotten HIV, HIV still exist.
I don't think people are disciplined enough to follow natural methods of prevention Is it withdrawal? Is it cycle? Though I agree nature is the best. Before all these plastics came, people were having sex without them and safe sex
Smart man, haven't you observed he has stopped being vocal like an attack dog. He chose what is good for him. You won't throw him under the bus at this time
vowiski: How do you drop a policy , then start to think how to make the policy work.
Nigerians even tried to be patient for 1 year..
This madness will not happy anywhere.
What is the government doing for the people if they take off all subsidies ?

papyjaypaul: This is reality. Politics is a dirty game and I have learned in my life to live with reality. I am not a fan of Mr President but currently, he is our COAF and GCFR, I am more interested in my country. He can be a bad man with good cabinet, just get the work done. Whether you like it or not, with Buhari's dismal first term performance, didn't he seek 2nd term Who voted him That's the reality of Nigerian politics, so if I give advice, it is because I am living with reality and love my country.
Obasanjo changed his cabinet when there were conplaints Jonathan did after so much pressure. Even Yar Adua did in his short time. Sometimes you change your first eleven and put new blood in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3brc3aQXG4?feature=shared Another thing that the President has failed to do, which Obasanjo used very effectively was Media Parley. OBJ will host a chat with the President to explain the steps his government is taking. All other Presidents have refused to do that after him. Only Jonathan tried it 1 or 2 times. The President needs to speak directly, not sending media aides all the time. These are little things that make the people know the direction they are going. When the President does not talk and give interviews to the media, the cabal leads.
You should post this under Family not Romance. When you are not yet married and have no responsibilities but yourself, the way you think will be different than someone who just brought another life to earth.
Could this be the beginning of the end for APC Yes. What happened to PDP is happening to them now, I don't think Nigerians can survive 16 years of APC the way they survived 16 years of PDP. This is just 9 years of APC and by 2027, it will be 12 years. At that time, it will be very very very difficult to blame PDP or Obi. They blamed PDP in Buhari's first term and when it was about time for the 2019 election they had to change the story because they too were becoming a part of the past 16 years they always said. Now, it is easy to call Obi because he was one of the popular candidates that contested but I can assure you, in Buhari's voice, they can not run propaganda for so long. God forbid Obi dies today, who else will they blame The reality will be obvious. APC needs to get its act together because their old tactic of diversion is stale and outdated. Nigerians are now able to compare both APC and PDP and for people to be saying PDP was relatively better despite how bad they managed Nigeria back then, it is time they smelled the cookie jar. The most interesting part of everything going on is how the political class are so unreliable. From PDP to Labour to APC, you can now see the real character of our politicians. They are only after power. You see them cross caperting because they ar e only after positions.
It is better to have this organized protest and protect them, respond to them and empathise with them rather than attacking them and blaming opposition. That format don cast. This gen z and the one following them don't care about those old media structure of propaganda. They may not know so much but they have a high BS detector. Sometimes I see them praising someone that once destroyed Nigeria because he is saying the truth in one interview. They will call the man good man. When they see another video interview of him saying rubbish tomorrow, they will cast him. If Tinubu's government has a protest in his first term, that change agenda APC sold in 2014 will be taken by another rising force to give people hope. People will just want to see change, no matter who it is. That is why Burkinabes and Malians were celebrating change in their country. That is human beings for you, any new person even if they too will be scam will be celebrated. That is why I said the times are interesting because time has revealed the true state of mind of our politicians. You can fool the people most of the time, you cannot fool them all the time.
Remember when DSS raided APC offices in Ikeja in 2014. APC complained that Jonathan was using DSS to chase them. We even saw DSS woman talking to the press. What goes around comes around. People will always have sympathy for the underdog, so if APC repeats what was done against them, they are only nailing their coffin. It is better to have a managed protest than one you cannot control. If you have an uprising like the Algerian boy that burned his body, it will spark everywhere. Some people are only waiting for one person to start before they join. Renewed hope is obviously not renewing any hope. There is a limit to which people can be pushed against the wall. There is nothing worse than a man who has given up on life that death is not his enemy anymore.
If anything happens, Mr Tinubu, all those people lying to you will flee. They have done it before and they can do it again. They all left Jonathan when he lost. Don't be deceived that it will be until 2027 before you are asked to go. Even dictators can be forced out in a twinkle of an eye and that is when the enemy of Nigeria will enter because they have been waiting for that moment to strike. This is a fight for survival for the President. If he loves that position, he has to offend his people and leave politics for once. Even if it is 1 term, lead in a way that people will want you back. Presidents will come and go, Aso Villa go remain
Goodvibes007: Once you start blocking the road, you are already calling for violence and Anarchy. You are already blocking the right of others.
Your names won't be remembered. Occupy Nigeria protest and EndSars should have thought you a lesson.
It is true, however I hate double standards. In January 2012, you could not get to Maryland from Ojota and you know why
If you read the news on that Vanguard screenshot you posted, they wrote
There were bonfires in almost all the major roads in the state, such Ikorodu, Oshodi/Apapa Expressway, Badagry Expressway, Abeokuta Expressway among others.
Banking, Aviation, Maritime and downstream sectors shut down
However, other Nigerians and groups independently carried their protests and mass rallies across the state. At the Yaba office of the NLC, the protesters, moved through Ojuelegba into the Ikorodu road. They aggrieved protesters moved along Fadeyi, Anthony, Maryland and Ojota chanting anti-government slogans.
Jonathan's government did this. It is normal but an outdated method by different Nigerian governments. I thought they would have a better idea. Times have changed.
If people can't communicate with one another perfectly during the protest, it is a plus for the government.
There were protests before GSM. The government would only have a difficult time with communication but the foreign media especially will hype this part and you know Nigerian governments like their foreign image than what Nigerians say at Home. People protested under military rule, nothing can be worse
