How do you label a protest "days of rage" and call it peaceful protest? Who is leading your protest? Nobody wants to take accountability for that, headless mob. In 2012, we know the people that led the protests and they took full responsibility. They protested in their states and in front of their homes and businesses. They knew how to control it and when to stop it. Same cannot be said today. Even Falana who used to run mouth on your behalf, said he cannot join the protests as it is headless and without real motive.

Snowx:
Wao!! The protest is without real motive haha..let your conscience judge you chaa..people are facing serious hardship now compared to that 2012 when they protested for their own personal interest..Pure personal interest..the subsidy they protested against its removal was now claimed to be removed by them which was pure lies..

Learn from 2020, learn from Libya and Sudan, learn from what is going on in Kenya and Bangladesh. Only fools will keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.
The government has just increased minimum wage by over 100% and it's to be paid from April, May, June and July. It didn't take protests or burning down the country, grounding the economy and looting.

Edit. Permit me to quote Reno Omokri below this morning. Everything here was done without protests, destrcuction and looting. More is coming.

I hope the coming protest in Nigeria will not turn ugly

If you protest, you die

If you don't protest, you die


So it better to die for something than to die for nothing.


The situation of Nigeria today is already "a mass killing weapon" and we have the duty to rescue ourselves and the generation unborn


Protest against bad government is inevitable for all well meaning Nigerians

I'm sorry, what do you mean by "it's to be paid from May, April, June and July"

Image123:
i know and understand that there is hardship caused by different factors like the removal of fuel subsidy and floatation of the naira.
Okay, in clearer terms, what are your demands, that's what i mean by motives. What do you want or hope to gain from the protest?

...Fuel price return to its original price of atleast 150naira
... reduce import duty( sea freight)
...Reduce insecurity
...power sector improvement
... food scarcity which the major cause is insecurity
.. stop selective probing by Government
...the worst of it is insecurity

I can count on and on

Image123:
First, the most of your demands bother on insecurity. A protest will trigger insecurity further and on a nationwide scale. How do we deal with the insecurity caused by your protests, any ideas?
Government already suspended import duties on food, this is better than your demand for reduction.

Food scarcity does not get solved by protests, they only increase as there will be additional inflation caused by the protests. The federal government has released tons of grains, fetilizer and cash to help with farming. They have decided to open the borders to allow importation of food so that there can be supply and reduced costs. You don't need protests for that. When you sow/plant, you have to wait for harvest, protests don't make harvests come quicker. Go and ask your state government what they are doing to help and your fellow citizens who hoard goods and increase prices to whatever they want when they want.

The power sector has actually improved. In fact, some of us were skeptical at first and saying that it is because of the raining season, but it seems it's actually different this time. Aside that, the FG 2023 Electricity Bill was signed into Law to end federal monopoly in the power sector and empower states and the private sector to generate, distribute and transmit power. It takes years to see changes in that, it's not an akara joint or iceblock business that is been set up. Protests and the vandalism that will follow will only slow down the pace of the work if not scare away intending investors.

i don't understand selected probing and how exactly it helps anybody or needs protests and wanton destruction to achieve.

As for pump price of 150naira per litre. How do you want that to be done? Do you want the marketers to buy it at gun point for free so that it can be sold for 150, or there's a magic word like shouting "Open Sesame" and the price will come down? Help explain the logical possibility of this.

Flame333:
Kenyans paid the price ... May the souls of those who lost their lives during the protest in Kenya continue to rest in peace..

In this life,no pain, no gain..


The people of Nigeria want to protest with a view to express their displeasure over the lingering hardship by the party and not to burn down the country..

Please give them the protection they need

Snowx:
Having read what you just written..all I can ask is the motive of defending this clueless government..I can fathome any reason why a sane person should support this administration if not personal interest or useless ethnic sentiment

lexy2014:
is this failure of government not worth protesting over?

I understand. its usually like that when you realise you can no longer defend your one sided falsehood.

did you waste your time when you said this?


if this is the case, why was tinubu advocating for protests and revolution against jonathan?

Tinubu stood by his protest, organized it and controlled it. Who's going to do that today? Obi lamba is currently suing people or threatening to, hiding behind keypad like the coward he is.
