A fresh round of protests has broken out in Suleja, the commercial nerve centre of Niger State which is only a few kilometres away to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The angry Nigerians stormed the streets on Wednesday, according to photographs obtained by SaharaReporters, calling on the President Bola Tinubu-led government to end the hardship and unbearable inflation they were suffering.

“There is protest ongoing at the Suleja local government area of Niger State. They are calling on Tinubu to end the hardship the masses are suffering on the daily basis in the country,” a witness said.

SaharaReporters on Monday reported that hundreds of men, women and youths in Minna, the Niger State capital also staged a protest against the rising inflation in the country.

They had also lamented the hikes in the prices of gas and fuel in the country.

Videos showed that the protesters blocked major roads as they lamented that there was no government effort to arrest the situation of the rising cost of food items.

The protesters had been heard chanting protest songs, while security agents including policemen looked on.

However, Yakubu Garba, Deputy Governor of Niger State, had said the government was aware of the pain and hardship facing families in the country.

Yakubu had told the protesters that the government was working towards reducing the cost of living and the economic implications of the petrol subsidy removal.

This suleja wey I dey now now

Prof Yusuf Dankofa wrote this on 5th Feb 2024, 17hrs

Read on :

"But they said they are the whiz kids from lagos

That the magic of lagos was going to be reignited at the federal level

Eight months after,it is ebin kpawa

What really happened

Where are the heroes of lagos

What is on the ground shows that the policy makers from eko do not understand governance

The policy flip flop has created a condition of acute poverty

Just like one commentator said,only those in the corridors of power are smiling

The rest are facing armageddon,a state of calamity and brutality

The politics of the land is toxic as only lagosians are in power, while the other "O" states are lamenting

Cronyism and inner caucus have betrayed the movement

Emilokan movement is so ordinary and bereft of ideas that grand old Buhari that spent eight years junketing is even perceived to be better.

So, Emilokan is about the fulfilment of personal ambition

Even the Imams that were shouting Muslim/Muslim tickets are busy gnashing their teeth

They have now become wiser its a hoax

Now they can't go for pilgrimage because they don't have N5M

Where will they see the dollar

Who dash monkey banana

No politician is even visiting their mosque anymore

Even Mr. Vice President has become a motivational speaker

He is busy admonishing Nigerians to be of good behaviour since leaders who are to turn things around have lost ideas

The ideas that were robustly generated during electioneering campaigns have vaporised into thin air

Now, the singsong by the talakawas is hunger

Our currency is as worthless as a river that ships cannot navigate

You need a bagco cement sack of naira to seek $300

The economic gurus of lagos have been turned into ordinary finance speculators

All those spotless suits and Oxford shoes are just abracadabra

What happened to years of study at Harvard and Yale School of Economics

Social media have been laughing at them

Even Zimbabweans and South Africans are having a good laugh

South Sudan,a country as poor as anything, is poking Nigeria

Pls where is the Save Nigeria Group

Where are Professor Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare that gave Jonathan nightmares

Where are all the lagos musicians

Where are the Kuti brothers

Have they forgotten their fathers lyrics

44 sitting and 99 standing

This is when the talakawa need them most

Have they forgotten their Uncle Dr Beko Ransome Kuti

Where are the offspring of Late Dr Bala Usman in this respect

And where are the Professor Pantamis of this world

That cried and prayed that the Jonathan administration should be changed

And what has changed today

And why are there no prayers to the Almighty that the poor should be rescued

The Lagos politicians have failed the people

They boasted that it is about brains and not brawl

This is the regime of the most educated people in Africa

What a paradox"

Good

If they like let them protest till infinity, we Yoruba Muslims are very ok and comfortable with Tinubu's gvt, northern Muslims are very lazy people, ipob are busy spreading the news in social media

Your foolery is legendary

Save Nigeria group is only active when the President is not a Yoruba person
Arewa only have mouth when the President is not a Northerner.

Go and create job, while your politicians you're defending, their kids are in CBN, NNPC, FIRS, Customs, DPR, NCC etc... Choice institutions.

I have decided to vote Tinubu next election tho I never voted for him before. The Ebin pawa must continue

Tinubu can't see your pains and sufferings.
He wasn't voted in by the people.
All he understands is grab it, snatch it and run with it; power is not served a la carte

If you like vote Tinubu, if you like don’t vote for him, as long as he has life & is able to contest, he will still win in 2027 irrespective, so don’t cry a river for me about politicians & their kids, are you not a Nigerian, are your parents not Nigerians, who stopped them from playing the game of politics like their mates?

Or is your laziness of mental & physical hereditary?

If you dey hungry go plant Agbado, or you dey wait for the Agbadorians?

You go hungry quench inside your waiting.

The carefully crafted printouts can't be a spontaneous thing. This is a well orchestrated protest with lots of planning and inputs and backing from top people.

Niger state should be the last place of a protest going by food prices there. Babangida must know something.

Lol

Any protest with printed placards is a sponsored protest by the opposition. We are suffering and we need to wakd up not until an opposition party gives you small token/placards to carry

They should lock them up. I don't like nonsense. It's not even a year. Where were all these people during Bubu? Oh, it was Haram then. Hypocrite!!!

Where is Mahmood Yakubu ?
Where is Wike ?
Where are those who upturned the will of the people ?
Where are those who celebrated the fraud called election ?
Who is suffering now ?


Nigerians be wise !

I am not in support of meaningless rallies and protests....Tinubu's attempted at removal of subsidy and naira flotation are the right policies but he rushed into them without any form of planning at all! The upside is that the low value of the naira will attract increased dollars in the medium to long term........the koko is does Tinubu have the competence and plans to utilize the increased fdi inflows and also increased revenue from subsidy removal,,,,,,,,this is the part where Obi excels, he would have channeled the extra funds in a more disciplined manner.......Obi has an annoying laser focus on his goals!
