I warned asiwaju earlier everywhere about the north and the way he betrayed them in his appointments but he didn't listen.

Honestly people are hungry and dying and I'm yet to see an impressive approach to the current issues

And Yes,If they defeat the Americans,I don't see anything stopping them

As the nationwide protest enters its fourth day, some of the organisers and supporters of the demonstration have set up pages to raise over N4bn through GoFundMe, a popular online crowdfunding platform.

Checks by Sunday PUNCH show that as of Saturday evening, a total of N4.1bn had been benchmarked to be donated through accounts created by three GoFundMe users.

While each of the fundraisers on GoFundMe has their donations protected, Sunday PUNCH noted that funds had been entering into the accounts, as revealed by the green colour indication on the targets.

A fundraiser, ‘Nigerians in the United States of America and Canada’ as of the time our correspondent monitored it indicated a goal sum of N40,898,750 ($25,000). According to the site, the organiser is located in the state of Washington, US, indicating that the donations would help provide necessary resources for protesters, including medical supplies, transportation, and other essentials.

Rallying for support, the organiser wrote, “Dear friends and supporters, The #EndBadGovernance protest in Nigeria took place today, with citizens bravely standing up against corruption and poor governance. As the movement continues, there are dedicated individuals who will be rallying again tomorrow to demand the change their country needs.

“We urgently need your support to sustain this critical movement. Donations will help provide necessary resources for the protestors, including medical supplies, transportation, and other essentials.

“Your contribution will play a vital role in ensuring that their voices are heard and that they can continue their fight for justice and good governance. We call on Nigerians across North America to show solidarity and support this cause.”

Another GoFundMe fundraiser, ‘Nigeria EO’ indicated a goal sum of N20,950,777.31 (£10,000), which it seeks to have donated by supporters.

“We are raising funds to provide the protesters with much-needed supplies and assistance on the ground. Your donations will help cover the costs of bottled water, snacks, and other refreshments for the protesters, first aid kits and medical supplies in case of injuries, and transportation for volunteers to help organise and support the demonstrations, the organiser wrote.

The third GoFundMe organiser, ‘Endbad Governance’, declared a goal sum of N4,613,379,000 ($2,820,000).

Meanwhile, citizens have raised N1.8m for a protester, Ogwu Chijioke, who admitted he had been struggling to support his son’s ambition to become a programmer.

Chijioke, who participated in the demonstrations on August 1, shared his story with Channels Television at the Lekki Toll Gate.

In the interview, Chijioke lamented that despite his son’s talent in programming, he was unable to afford necessary resources like data and tuition fees.

The interview went viral on Saturday, drawing widespread sympathy and support on social media.

An X (formerly Twitter) influencer, Morris Monye, moved by Chijioke’s story, launched a crowdfunding campaign by providing the protester’s bank account for supporters to raise N1.8m.


Sharing a private message received from Chijioke on X on Friday, Monye noted that the donation target was reached within 24 hours.

UnfairLife7:
Tinubu is a failure. He's the architect of hardship and hunger in Nigeria. The governors are not the one that removed fuel and electricity subsidy. They're not the ones spending trillions on pilgrimage,cars and renovating buildings. They are not the ones that increased VAT. They are not the cause of insecurity in the country as they're not incharge of armed forces and police.

Kushites:
A nationwide protest is about to commence.

Peter Obi is usually the first to protest and complain about the govt on any given day.

Now we have a gargantuan national protest in the horizon, and the man is totally quiet and silent!

Not a single word from him.

I find it very fishy and suspicious.

It’s as if he is in some underground control room quietly coordinating the whole thing.

Does anyone even know where he is right now?

Just a political statement..... No candidate is easy to defeat if they have the support of the people.

Also, Americans might want to make history with her as the first female president officially elected.

Two days ago, Peter Obi turned 63 and many we'll meaning Nigerians congratulated him on this milestone. However, what is conspicuous is the absence of any message from Wole Soyinka.
Why didn't Soyinka felicitate with Obi?
Why didn't Soyinka show maturity by congratulating Obi since that's what his supporters accused Obi of lacking?
Why hasn't the likes of Reno Omokri written their distasteful articles in condemnation of Soyinka the way he did with Obi?
Isn't what's good for the geese also good for the gander?

Curious

MasterJayJay:
I hope Trump didn't plan this. Dude can do the unthinkable.

HORLADY:
Wow.
This is a landmark judgement.
We can now out a face and name to the Chairman of these various local governments and hold them accountable. Its time to be less fixated on the FG and SG. Lets ensure that the grassroot grts the benefit of democracy.
The Local Governments should organise various social welfare programmes such as Food bank, and Old people homes.
Kudos Lateef Fagbemi SAN. You really do this one.

Ojuntana:
Is this not against the constitution?

Tereonur:
The insidious and inciting publications by the Daily Trust these past months have come across as nothing but a deliberate effort to brush the government with a tar. On many occasions we have restrained ourselves from believing that this was the case but the consistency of the jejune and mischievous publications leaves us with no option.

Southeast Senators Plead With President Tinubu For Nnamdi Kanu’s Release | #Politicsnigeria


Southeast Senators have appealed to President Bola Tinubu to order the release of detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The delegation of 15 senators, led by former Abia State Deputy Governor and ranking senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, argued that the ongoing detention of Kanu is stalling social and economic activities in the Southeast region.


In a closed-door meeting with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbem, SAN, the Senators emphasized the urgent need for Kanu’s release.


Abaribe, speaking on behalf of his colleagues after the meeting, expressed concerns over the deteriorating economic and social conditions in the Southeast, attributing it to Kanu’s continued incarceration.

Abaribe stated that Kanu’s peaceful agitation has been hijacked by criminals, leading to increased violence and loss of lives, including those of security personnel.

He said he met with Kanu at the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters in Abuja on Monday, where Kanu agreed to comply with any conditions set for his release.

The former Deputy Governor expressed confidence that releasing Kanu would help to restore peace and stability in the Southeast, which has been troubled since Kanu’s detention in 2021.
