₦airaland Forum

In 2023, when Tinubu announced the removal of all subsidies and floated the Naira, Nigerians stormed social media condemning the government, venting their anger over the economic chaos as result of the policy. Tinubu and his looting associates in the National Assembly continue to enjoy the trappings of government, borrowing and spending uncontrollably, diverting billions of Naira for the purchase of SUVs, engaging in meaning less foreign trips, funding frivolous events and phantom inflated projects, while Nigerians bear the brunt of a hyper-inflation debt ridden economy saddled with high unemployment, pervasive insecurity and high cost of living. On several occasions when the news media houses report some of the atrocities of this government, Nigerians always storm social media with negative comments, venting their anger, reigning curses and posting unprintable names on Tinubu, calling for an end to the evil APC government, a sea of unending lamentations that fill the pages of online newspapers and Nairaland threads.

With the current deplorable economic situation that Nigerians are going through, the August nationwide protests should present disgruntled Nigerians a window of hope, it should be a golden opportunity for Nigerians to rewrite their story and create a new chapter towards ending the reign of their political oppressors. This protest should be what I will term the judgment day for Tinubu and all political oppressors irrespective of their party… Nigerians have posted enough on social media, it is time for action and prove that Nigerians mean what they say online regarding how they feel about their government. If Nigerians fail to mobilize for the protest and grab this golden opportunity then it means that Nigerians are happy with the government and only pretend not to online, it means the sea of negative comments I read on the pages online newspapers and Nairaland are posted by bots or foolish Nigerians who don’t know what they want. August 1st 2024 will be the day Nigerians are exposed for who they really are and what they stand for, if truly Tinubu is a bad leader and Nigerians are fed up with his draconian policies, the month of August 2024 will reveal the truth about Nigerians.

Already, there are indications that the leaders of many human rights groups and national organizations like the NLC, TUC and NANS are distancing themselves from the planned protest calling on the government to initiate direct dialogue with the organizers, it is glaring that some of the leaders of these organizations are sympathetic to the government either due to inherent political interests or willful neglect of the severe economic realities Nigerians are facing. It is obvious that if this protest must hold, Nigerians should know that they can not rely on any of these organizations to help or stand with them in pushing for an end to bad government policies. Also, dissecting the Nigerian social media space, it is obvious that many Nigerians have been recruited or brainwashed to turn the protest into an ethnic tribal jingoistic battle, you can even see this playing out on Nairaland as the seed of division has taken root in the heart of many users in this online forum, the “Igbo Against Yoruba” and “Yoruba Against Igbo” propaganda is winning the narrative and distracting Nigerians from seeing the true picture and what they stand to gain if in unity they mobilze for the protest, this was the same playbook Tinubu and his APC political think tank deployed to distract Nigerians while they plotted and rigged the 2023 election. It is glaring that from what is happening many Nigerians may not turn up for the protest and just like presidential election, Tinubu will perform his victory dance once more and continue with his looting agenda.

It will be disastrous for Nigerians if they don’t troop out in mass to protest, the failure of this planned protest will embolden callous politicians against the people and set a dangerous precedence for what will happen in 2027. Unfortunately, Tinubu and his media warriors appear to be winning, they have succeeded in making the planned August nationwide protest a tribal contest were Igbos and Yorubas are targeted while influential figures in the north a bought over to push a placating agenda to the northern youths.

I hope I am wrong but if after all the noise and lamentations over this government and Nigerians fail to participate in this protest then it means that Nigerians love Tinubu, it mean that Nigerians are happy with his government and deserve whatever consequences they are facing as a result of his government…. I will not take any negative comment I read online against this government seriously going forward….. I hope Nigerians will proof me wrong….

You are wrong.

Infact you wasted your time writing the long epistle

A nationwide protest with exception is purely mischievous

@Bolded,
See reverse psychology 101 from an Ibo supremacist and IPOB closet supporter.
We don't need you and your fellow Ibo supremacists opening 1001 threads on Nairaland and Twitter/X.
We want to see you in action. Get out from behind your keyboard. Put down the smart phone and hit the streets for your Biafra agenda masquraded as economic protest....
However remember looting,arson,destruction of monuments or buildings and desecration of institutions are criminal offences that will attract retribution and consequences.
Warmest regards.

Your name starts with “Hel….” I hope you can see the problem…. @helinues Nairaland south west tribal propaganda activist… well done….

helinues:
You are wrong.

LOL I know they will attack this thread, watch out for helinues, confusedlady et al

I made a post on key points I think Nigerian should push for during the August nationwide protest, you can check it out here https://www.nairaland.com/8157376/important-nationwide-protest-against-tinubus#131012305

Na we get media narration. Let that sink

So you’re happy supporting this bad government and pushing malicious tribal propaganda to divide Nigerians, by generating fake likes on posts you think you own the media narrative on Nairaland….? Alright, we shall see how far you will go with this ideology…

Sit down there

You will learn in due time

helinues:
Sit down there

As the world awaits August 1, this planned protest will determine whether as a people we are ready for genuine positive change…. As I said in my earlier post, if APC government since 2015 has been bad to Nigerians, what will happen on August 1 will be a true indicator of what majority of Nigerians think and how they feel about the incompetent government…. The world is watching…. August 1 events will be an indictment on Nigerians if they fail to exercise their constitutional rights to peaceful protest against Tinubu’s draconian economic policies….

International media organizations are actively monitoring events in Nigeria as regards this nationwide protest…. Many prominent Nigerians and foreigners are already talking about it on popular news platforms within and outside the country…. The awareness has been established…. It is left for Nigerians to capitalize on the momentum if they are sincerely not happy with the government and demand for genuine positive changes that will benefit the people….. this maybe the only window of opportunity for Nigerians to redeem this country’s economy…. If truly Nigerians are angry with Tinubu excesses as they claim online with incessant negative posts, insults and curses against his government then participating in this protest should not be a matter of tribe or religious affiliation…..

You and helinues belong to the same club so no need to bother about your comment here…. Your tribal propaganda has been exposed for all to see…. Many reasonable Nigerians can see through your deceptions now….

Confusedlady stands alone. Confusedlady is affiliated to nobody. Confusedlady says it how it is.

Now to your inane post....it is amusing to see an arch tribalist and Ibo supremacist calling someone else a tribalist.
Everybody sees clearly that the stiff necked rebellious tribe that surreptitiously support anarchy and insurrection are the ones behind this planned protest. Your ultimate aim is not good governance but destruction of the Nigeria state through regime change. What you could not achieve through the ballot and the courts you aim to achieve through anarchy and mob action insurrection.
We await Thursday August 1st eagerly when you will recieve your comeuppance.
