May God punish her first. Useless woman. Was Tinubu the one who damaged Nigeria's economy? Don't go and work. Stay there and be looking for free money. Ogun fire you.

Kobojunkie:
The many noise-oriented protests in Nigeria to date do not come anywhere close to comparing to the result-oriented protest that we all witnessed this last week or two in Kenya. Noise does not change things in government, results are what changes government. You should learn that from the Kenyan protest if you refuse to learn anything else. If you want good government, you do not demand it but you work towards it. It is as simple as that!

2. While I agree that many Nigerians vote along tribal lines, I don't agree that Nigerians will vote against competent and good presidential candidates when they see one. Why do I say that? It is because in the last 20-something years, I have never in fact come across such a candidate on the Nigerian ballot, ever. I can't make a statement regarding something that has never happened before now.

3. I criticize Obi the same way I criticize Buhari and Tinubu. All these men were incompetent in their pasts and did not deserve to be promoted by the Nigerian people to Head of State. Their records serve as all the evidence we need for this.

P.S. Those of you who claim you are tired of the current government, have any of you done your civic duty which is to cast your vote of no-confidence starting at the local government, state, and then the National level? If you have not even done this you are no different from those who support the government; your internet rants are meaningless to setting you apart from those who voted this government into office.

Nigerians abroad, PLEASE kindly help your fellow Nigerians back home. The situation in the country right now is so bad that the majority of Nigerians cannot even afford one square meal. I'm not talking about a proper square meal. I'm talking about anything to hold their stomach, they can't afford.

Parents are becoming suicidal and children are dying already.

If you watch the woman in this video, you will understand what most Nigerians are going through including myself.

Yesterday, I ate food that even the dogs of some people cannot eat. Dogs of the rich now eat better food than some Nigerians.

Please and please again, I know it's not easy anywhere but it's really bad back in Nigeria. Help Nigerians whether you know the person personally or not. We are dying. Hunger is killing us. Families are selling kids to feed others. Most of us didn't vote for Tinubu, but here we find ourselves.

Watch this woman and see the frustration in the land.

Remain blessed as you extend your hand of help to hungry Nigerians back home. It's not what we bargain for. We just found ourselves here.

∆ ..ok the type of protest you need from nigerians is the type of the Kenya protest where they destroyed public infrastructures and properties, cars, looted and stole food ,goods and money in people shops and bussinesses ,block the roads and bonfire on the roads and highway, stone and attack the police in which the police had to retaliate by killing some Kenya youths and people, the Kenya youths and people invading their national assembly and putting fire in their national assembly ..is that what you want Nigeria youths and nigerians to do as a protest against the nigeria federal government?

NoFoodToCook:
Please help Nigerians. Nigerians are a bunch just docile people. If not, look at what Kenyan are doing.

VTJN:
your life will be the same way Tinubu has taken Nigeria to ever since he became president. Amen

leisuretym:
Go to farm, you all abandoned farms and troop to Abuja, Lagos, PH, Kano, expecting ghosts to plant Yam, beans and tomatoes

After hailing yeyebreties on social media, watch tiktok and insult each others on twitter, you expect manna to fall from heaven, arrant nonsense, you ain't see nothin yet

Very soon, those exporting rice and spaghetti to feed you will ship it elsewhere, by the time you start dragging grass with goats, you guys will have sense and go back to farm

Kobojunkie:
One huge difference I noticed between the Kenyans during the protest and Nigerians is Civic Education. The Average Kenyan child is well aware that he/she, not the government is in charge.

Kobojunkie:
Stop closing your eyes to the real problem. The same docile populace who sat back and allowed the same atrocities are the very same docile beings you see today in their democracy. The system of government is not the problem.

Kobojunkie:
Submit one at least every month and encourage the voters in your area to consider doing the same. No-confidence votes are to counter each vote formerly cast in favor of the particular candidate during the election. The Nigerian constitution allows the electorate the right to recall any elected official except the President, so starting within your very local counsel, you can recall officials whose performances have left you disappointed and you can do so even beginning in their very first year in office.

Killermamba:
thank you for this

cucumbar:
agbadorian . You Dey craze for this post wey you post.
If dem no mention Tinubu , na your papa dem go mention?
Who is the president? Who are Kenyans calling in their protest?

The so called fossil grabbed power to do what again?

You see say you no well? Animal .

004gist:
The current problem Nigerians are facing is caused by Tinubu know this and have peace. He brought in Buhari and called him a repentant Democrat. Ensure they use every means to get there.

Buhari mess things up and now he is there doing same..

Check amount borrowed by APC and u understand the shit Nigerians are in

Mom007:
... on this same nairaland that I was nearly eaten alive for telling people to go and farm while it is still raining season? I laugh in isoko language! I say it again, let this raining season pass by without significant increase in agricultural activities... una go hear wheen!

004gist:
Most Nigerians have seen that came 10 to 15 years ago.. Are mostly carears... Mental nurse.... Working in health sector.
Hardly see them in finance, government ministry etc

Fujiyama:
^^^
Things ARE tough.

For the first time in my life I am beginning to question (ever so slightly) whether representative democracy can work in this country.

We have a huge mass of people living hand to mouth, not sure of where the next meal is coming from. It isn't likely such people will make sensible political choices. Unfortunately it seems as if things will get even worse.

Fujiyama:
■ ^^^ Good observation. Let me add that the absence of civic education in Nigeria is NOT a coincidence.
There was a time when civics as a subject was taught in schools in Nigeria. It was quietly dropped from the curriculum by the 'powers that were' in the 1980s...while 'religious' knowledge/studies continued to gain ground. This was not just a random occurence.
Outside the formal education system, civic education faces even bigger adversaries. Culture, religion and ethnicity are big in Nigeria...and the Establishment generally doesn't tolerate the 'undue radicalism' (1980s people will know what I'm talking about ) that civic education is believed to promote. Again, there are reasons for this.
This attack on civic education is not a recent phenomenon. The seeds were sown a long time ago and the harvest is the docility and indifference you see around you today. [color=#990099]Make no mistake, it will take years of re-education to change this.[/color]
■ ^^^ You have over 200 million largely docile beings in this republic. A sizable number of them have the right to vote but they do not have any real understanding of how sacred that right really is.
A large number of Nigerians are indifferent. They have no interest at all in democracy or the political process...and they do not vote in any elections. Some Nigerians do participate in the political process but they have no understanding of how to (or even why they should) hold politicians accountable. Predictably, these Nigerians make poor horrendously electoral choices in the end.
I questioned the system in my earlier post because in the end, it is a game of numbers. He who gets the most votes, wins. When you strip away all the fluff, that is the stuff that really counts. Time after time, Nigerians vote against their own interests. You may call it docility (which it is to an extent) but this behavior is not going to be an easy thing to reverse. Perhaps that may be possible a generation or two from now.
■ I fully support your efforts to educate Nigerians on the powers they have to recall their representatives. I would like to see how soon your campaign has a real, discernible effect on voter behaviour and habits.

Kobojunkie:
So, if they go to farm only to end up victims of Fulani herders, what language would your laugh be in then? Yes, it would be nice for folks to go to farm but given that many who have have ended up dead or bankrupted by it should cause people like you to reason further than believing not wanting to farm the major issue.

Mom007:
@∆ Then they should sit down there and starve ok. Something must kill a man. Either you die being productive or you die begging abroad people to fund your laziness and cowardice. All the while I was farming any spare land around my community how many cows ate my crops? How many fulani herdsmen killed me? You that typed this, how many militant fulani herdsmen are in your community? Or in your compound for those that could venture into sack farming? Abeg go and sit down with this your weak and burnt out argument.

Kobojunkie:
Do you equally conclude that based on the fact that no one in your immediate has been killed or assaulted, that insecurity is a problem in Nigeria? Come one people, apply common sense!

Gerrard59:
You wey be big man dey complain?

After eating chicken and burgers for a couple of years, you will come to the realization that there is more to life than junk food and constant electricity.

Many people abroad eat far healthier than you. They are not limited to junk food.
