Kenyan President William Ruto said he’s withdrawing a contentious tax bill, bowing to public pressure after deadly protests against the plan to raise $2.3 billion in new levies led to the deaths of at least 23 people

Well done Kenya. 👍
Na man una be.

We are too divided by tribalism to unite and fight our common oppressors.

While the Great Tinubulation continues in Nigeria.

The hatred and tribalism the yorubas resurrected in 2015 won’t allow Nigerians achieve some thing like this,so we will continue to consume all for decades to come

Hahahahaha!

This is the same President that Nigerian youths were "famzing" in 2022 as the anti-establishment new candidate (despite being a Vice President) with a new party, who was voted in by the youths, of Kenya.

Only this fellow was realistic to know that euphoria of electoral victory and the hard reality of government policy are 2 sides of the same coin.

You mean the tribalism that ensured that the 2012 subsidy protests largely happened only in the SouthWest and North, while the SouthSouth and SouthEast were calm because their son was in Power?

Meanwhile, every national protest against the Yoruba Obasanjo and Fulani Yar'Adua governments were championed by the same SouthWest.

That was when many of us realised we had been foolish to be protesting against the government of "our own son" when he was President.

Now those of you who had no experience protesting against subsidy removal in 2012, are still waiting for the same Tinubu to come and lead protest against his own government for removing the same subsidy.

Is it a lack of experience or courage on your own part? Or na only Yorubas fit to mobilize and riot for national issues that will benefit everyone?

You mean the nationwide compliance that was championed in Lagos by Yorubas, until the terrorist Kanu of IPOB began giving directives on radio to kill security personnel and vandalize government infrastructure and private assests of Tinubu and Dangote?

Don't worry, the mad terrorist is stlll chained to the floor of the DSS cell, and begging to be allowed to wear Isiagu to court.

While his people are still pleading with President Tinubu.

He has no choice than to bow to pressure. The level of coverage the western Media is giving that protest is unprecedented. Ruto knows he cannot win this battle.

But it's a shame the Nigerian youths are one of the most docile in the world despite their very huge population. Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, electricity subsidy,floats the naira, increased Value added tax and all sorts of anti people policy'. No single protest from the youths. The reason is not far fetched. Ethnic religious sentiments. That's why Europeans are very smart people. They made sure every country in Europe is mono religion and mono ethnic. That's why they broke up the Soviet Union and the Baltic.
Until Nigeria breaks up into different entities like the Sudan and Yugoslavia, there will be no hope on sight,except doom and gloom.

Don't change the narrative.

Why was the 2012 subsidy protest reduced to a Yoruba Ojota matter that was championed by Yoruba unionists and politicians?

Was it not SouthEast that was suffering the most from the 2012 NewYear removal of subsidy, with many travellers stranded in the Southeast due to the hike in transport fares?

Since that 2012 episode, everyone learnt that you only protest against the government if your son is not in power or if you are not a political partner of the government in power.

Stop lamenting now that you have educated us on the rules of engagement.

Since the war,SE has not had power,the SW and NORTH have been having it,why didn’t they protest against each other? The gangup and tribalism against the SE is what is uniting you guys to slit your own throat thinking you are doing SE!

The victim card as usual.

Even Azikiwe was playing the same victim card as early as 1949.

"It would appear that God has specially created the Ibo people to suffer persecution and be victimized because of their resolute will to live. Since suffering is the label of our tribe, we can afford to be sacrificed for the ultimate redemption of the children of Africa.

When they have nothing else to say…..

This is what happens when the people are united against the unjust laws and bad policies crippling the citizens. Unfortunately many had to die until it got out of hand before sanity set in. This, life bubbling Nigerians are not willing to do. Fela sang it. SORROW, TEARS, AND BLOOD

My people self dey fear too much!
Dem fear for the thing we no see!
Dem fear for the air around us!
We fear to fight for freedom!
We fear to fight for liberty!
We fear to fight for justice!
We fear to fight for happiness!
We always get reason to fear!
We no want die!
We no want quench** **(destroy)
Mama dey for house! Papa dey for house! I get one wife! I get one car! I get one house! I just build house! I wan enjoy!

So policeman go slap your face You no go talk Army man go whip your yansh** **(a**) You go dey look like donkey…

Docility coupled with who will bell the cat has kept the citizens in limbo. No one wants to take the bull by the horns so we complain in our closets 😂
