This is a bloody lie, except you weren't alive and old enough to know the situation of things around you that time.
Nigeria was coming from a military rule in which there's disregard for human rights, and so on. In fact Abacha was so corrupt that he looted the nation's treasury in funds estimated to be between 2-5 billion dollars, some of which are still been recovered from overseas till date. Abubakar spent few days shy of a year in power before Obasanjo was sworn in. No dey or use propaganda give us, we no be pikin. So people here lived through the period.
lol let's just be patient. I don't like protest, I don't want anyone to be hurt

I don't see anything wrong in a peaceful protest but it'll be nice if we shun it and give the government more time.
Aunty, which more time? Nothing will work even we wait for 1000years. That was how people were saying during buhari.

You need to stop pretending to be from ebonyi. Second, everyone knows that what ebonyi needs is investment in agriculture, education and primary health care not 30 billion crayon airport
Keep joking. Ebonyi is planning for the future and left you dumb fúcks to do agriculture. It had always been that agrarian state since before creation with nothing to show for it but poverty. Likewise benue and the rest of the agrarian north.

Ebonyi is going fully into Tech.

A University of ICT, University of aeronautics, all in construction, Ebonyi airlines kicking off with 3 planes before Decembwr 2024.

And a rail track connecting various towns in the state, are all under construction.

Keep yapping agriculture, you'll be the only one hearing yourself.

Dey play!

Amadioha,Sango,Zeus and all gods of thunder will strike this useless Minister to tiny pieces, too little for vultures to pick.
Imagine the nonsense coming from his mouth!
So Nigerians should be patriotic by folding their arms, looking on while the terrible economic situation brought on by the government's ineptitude,drives the masses deeper into the worst level of hunger, poverty in multidimensional magnitude.
Of course am not expecting anything less from APC governors and other politicians.
These useless wild animals must surely find a way, even desperately to excuse the FG's incompetence and failure, even when the blind can boldly see it.

This APC e-warriors really mean business. Any thread that shows the poor performance of APC, the way they will all jump on it to divert the discussion.

Major tactics are to insult Peter Obi, Obidients, Igbos and then call IPOB terrorist.

I believe they will send in the screenshots of their attacks to their pay masters to get paid. It is a vicious circle of poverty. As the hardship in the country increases, the e-warriors need to attack more to earn their peanuts. If not, hunger will finish them.

So my country men, when you see their replies, pray for them. They are trying to feed their families. No be clear eye.

LAGOS PROTEST Can you achieve your demands through protest? How does that work? Is there a clear template of procession of events for this protest? We all see the problems...What solutions are you bringing? Nobody is even feeling the protest tension in Abuja. I only see it online...nairaland and twitter. Saw Soworè on AIT today....asking for 250k minimum wage et al.
How can Protest resolve our problem? Are we ready to overthrow the government...coz that's the last phase of a protest. If we do get to that point, are we going to become another Pakistan? Is there a plan? Coz the next youth protest should be the mother of protest. We've seen bullets flying...hope we are ready to stay this time when bullets start flying again...coz that's the new standard...military weaponry VS runaway crowd.

Tinubu calls for ‘common sense’ revolution over PDP’s misrule

I don't either, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I supported and participated in the 2012 protest cos of GEJ's obvious failures, and I'm supporting this current protest due to the visible failures on the part of President Tinubu and the rest of our leaders. Hopefully, the protest won't get hijacked by hoodlums. Even then, there's enough reason to protest on ground.
Did you hear about the bloody protest that rocked Bangladesh recently and the results achieved by the protesters? Unfortunately, even though the protest became bloody, they were able to force the government's hand into making adjustments to better the life of their youths graduating from Universities.
I repeat, I'm against violent protest but then we can't continue to live like this. Jezz.

We should not be buying pepper, we should not be buying tomatoes, we should get bag and plant it in front of our house........umahi


What an unbelievable quote? So a graduate of engineering, two times governor and current minister dey reason like this? As in all the tomatoes and pepper you need in a year should can be grown in front of your house?
I used to have some measure of respect for Umahi but with his recent utterances, he has lost every respect I had for him.

When farmers are scared to farm because of fear of being killed and kidnapped, what tf is this man talking about?
aside the dollar-naira instability, the price of commodities increased majorly because farmers are no longer farming and that's due to insecurity.

Has the government addressed it so far? Has there been any arrest of these bandits? Answer is No.

No economy in the world can thrive under insecurity, never possible

If eventually there's a protest it's most likely to be hijacked by hoodlums. I don't want anyone to get injured or loose their lives.

Then what is your own stance in the current quagmire? Do the masses keep waiting while they suffer unbearable hardship? Mind you the the executive could have done a number of things to cut cost like for instance turn their cancel full-time lawmakers employment and make it part-time , hence no need for for wages just sitting allowances.
Is it the same present who give them 500 million to form a committee of minimum wage which ended up being nothing I had to eventually sit down with them himself does that make sense?.
This is the same president see that spent 20 billion renovating the house for a vice president who does that?
This is the same government that just spend 300 billion buying a new private this is the same government that just spent 15 billion buy a new private jet for the president what are we talking about and you want people to keep waiting.

I can understand your position everybody who has sunny benefiting from the coin government would definitely not one protest nobody want to have it and nobody want to have their luxurious lifestyle ended.
I personally I'm not going to protest I have no real stick in the current situation cuz to be frank I'm not really going through any really really tough financial situations that really warrant my wanting the protest to hold.

What the factory means they are far more people out there who are going to extremely tough times and they have no they don't know which way is up.

You can't because of your own personal comfort ignore the suffering of others it doesn't make sense it takes a whole level of delusion and detachment from reality to be able to actually tell people not to protest just because you personally comfortable that doesn't make sense

Hopefully it won't come to that, even though the likely is there. I'm supporting the protest going on sha, that's the only way to effect change right now or let the government come out to actually explain what policies they're making right now to right the wrongs and make the life of the average citizens better. Everyone has his or her breaking point o, the political class is always trying to push the endurance limit of the average citizens. Na e go better dem sing to the hearing of our parents, na e go better dem still dey sing in our own hearing right now. So when will it become better?
Like I said, try to follow the recent bloody protests that went on recently in Kenya and Bangladesh, and the results achieved by the protesters as an aftermath. At this point we the citizens have no choice than to force the hands of the political class, they've taken us too long for a fool. That's why I pity those wey still dey do Tinubu/Obi agenda right now, what does political affiliation have to do with providing a better country for the citizens to thrive? Jezz.
