Nigeria is too ununited for an all-round protest...even northern Nigeria refused to participate in ENDSARS protest because they said it was a protest against Buhari.

You are right for now …..

Just like some people said another tribe hijacked Lagos version of endsars protest….

Same way some people will not participate if there is any protest today because their tribesman is the president…

our political elite should take note

Africa spring is about to start, Arab spring will be a child play to what will happen. Our so called leaders should stop treating us as if we are not human, from the suffering of cashless policy to subsidy remover and you think it will go well with people that struggle and yet not able to afford 3 comfortable square meals per day. Whosoever is in support of subsidy remover is evil. The so called president or government should reduce the money spent on politicians holding post and make our refineries start working before talking about subsidy remover

There’s limit to what a people can take. When you push and push and push the people to a certain level, they will get to a point they will start to not only resist your push but also start to push back.

That’s the situation in Senegal right now.

Since taking office in 2012, Macky Sall, the country’s president, has played a vendetta kind of politics and consistently used instruments of government to clamp down on oppositions and even disqualify leading opposition candidates from standing for elections just so that he can easily retain power.

This has led to over 400 political prisoners serving jail terms over different kind of trumped up charges.

But this time around, the people seem to have had enough and has taken to the streets.

What is interesting in the video above however, is that Senegalese soldiers who were most likely deployed to clamp down on the protesters are seen in the clip waving at the protesters just as the protesters hailed the soldiers in return.

This is totally in contrast to what was witnessed in Nigeria in 2020 when Soldiers were deployed against peaceful protesters in Lekki, Lagos, and what happened next is what we all already know.

I hope Nigeria is watching and taking notes to see and learn that there’s limit to what a people can take before they pushback.

Nigeria soldiers will rather open fire on the protesters and claimed that it was an order from the above

What do you expect from mostly fulani jihadist soidiers?

have lived in Senegal for about 8 years i can tell you that it a matter of time the Senegalese people will bring that president down for the interest of the whole country... They are not like Nigeria were tribalism has finished us... They don't tribalism in that country citizen identify them self as Senegalese first before tribe or religion infact in the only country in Africa that has not had a military coup but i see one coming soon if the president don't step down... The citizen of other African country are serious about their country and those that lead them but here in Nigeria we are so stupid and hopeless tribalism has finished us ...

But the good thing is that Buhari tenure has divided us more and tinubu will perfect it so that everyone eyes will then be clear... the problem that will come n Nigeria in the future will be like world war two

Their president has been known with jailing of main opposition leader before general election, this will enable him to win easily,

I think this is third attempt of him doing that, it boomeranged now because Senegalese' were tired of his government.

Hence, they are ready to stand against his over staying at the helm of affairs their country.

THESE ARE WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONAL PATRIOTIC SOLDIERS. EVER READY TO DEFEND COUNTRY AND CITIZEN.

NOT SOLDIERS OF ONE COUNTRY THAT IS INFILTRATED BY TERRORISTS AND FOREIGNERS BY 60%. WHERE SOLDIERS ARE TRIGGER HAPPY TO KILL THEIR OWN CITIZENS IN DEFENSE OF THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS.
WHERE SOLDIERS ARE CONFLICT AND CRISIS ENTREPRENEURS AND PART TIME POLITICAL BUSINESS MEN.

SOLDIERS THAT ARE INTO OIL BUNKERING AND INFLATION OF BUDGETS.

Like Nigerian government, like Senegalese government . The two are partners in crime .

I have long realised that the black man cannot fashion a prosperous society for himself.
Once you put two Negros together and a task to save themselves you have just done the opposite.

Damn Africa...well peaceful demonstration is part of democracy and its the duty of security agencies to wadoff miscreants from hijacking the peaceful protest but I think in Nigeria 🇳🇬 of today u can't protest without overzealous security agencies using brutal force and is even worse in this balabu regime with tales of stolen mandate hanging on their heads...Nigeria doesn't have business paying subsidy just as Nigeria( with abundance of crude oil ) doesn't have business importing fuel in the first place...the real solution is not to remove subsidy arbitrary,rather to tackle the problems that led to importation of PMS ..the corruption in that sector is largely through having moribund refineries...fix the issue of our refineries and subsidy will die a natural death...u can't subject millions to suffer because of the incompetence and corruption of few people who stole all the money allocated to service our refineries. rather get them to vomit the funds and use it to get the refineries working again..but supporters of evil will rather not see the reality

I remember the time of a quote or jokes "wahala, wahala and wahala"

Most people have never see wahala.
Some will just type and politician uses their destiny to play. Oshiomole as NLC leader uses our destiny then and later he became governor abi. Some still remain where they are till today.
Demonstrations in many part of the world always yield fruit but it can never in Nigeria because of level of education, religion, tribe etc.
I have been joining demonstration since 90s today what is the dividend. Most time this fuel wahala.

Some will tell you that government should put things in place before removing subsidy abi. The country is a DEBTOR. So they should keep burrowing to pay and indirectly taxing us heavily to pay debt. The future of Nigeria go here wuen. I pity most!!!. People in city enjoys but those outside city usually know whatsup .

Immediately wahala start, food market closeup, PHCN will shut down power, doctors will not go to work, Armed rubbery etc

Let me tell you what happened after four days of ENDSARS and during Jonathan demonstration. Armed robbers started knocking each house telling everybody to bring out what they have or else they will kill.

NLC should use the strength to fight for salary increament. But if people want wahala, they should start jt on Wednesday.
