None of these men will attach their names to a protest cos when events happen and goes out of hand, the govt can come for them for instigating chaos, pin loss of lives and properties on them. These are people who have names not nameless individuals

If Abati, Falana or Utomi say they support the protest so Another person can say counter protest directed towards Utomi, Falana and Abatis properties

OasisX:

.....Utomi really cracked me up. Baba quickly corrects Sêun. LOL!

raumdeuter:
Utomi wey get bank and assets all over Lagos na him go make himself forefront of protest when he is not an activist or an intending politician to run for office

Na Africa we dey oh

Trump’s campaign is already struggling with this issue and to be honest, it would only get harder. Trump vs. Clinton was easier in comparison to the narratives that can be pushed with Kamala being a minority woman.

Worse still, unlike Pence, Trump got pushed to pick JD Vance who lacks the maturity with his utterances.

How can Trump attack Kamala that won't be tagged racism or sexism?

A40:
Trump will be fine if he just keeps it issues based. There is too much ammo for him to go for low hanging fruit.

Wasn't she supposed to be the border czar? If I'm Trump I can cook her 45minutes straight on how badly she has mangled that job and how the borders are wider than a p0rnstars caboose.

He should not let them obfuscate debates or let his ego get involved. From foreign policy (Afghanistan, Ukraine debacle) the economy and how prices of everything are through the roof. The list is endless.

He should remind them that feelings and sentiments is how they got into this mess.

[color=royalblue]That person that tweeted that stuff is obviously not living in Lagos. I have never seen a Statewide Oro festival

But then, I am concerned with the way the government is trying to divide and conquer the protest, rather than listen and see how to avert it.

Nigerians are suffering oh, and the people that will protest with their lives are not on social media or under NANS abi na SMA.

You will be surprised at how one small thing will spiral into a full blown chaos.

All these NLC, Ohaneze and blah blah dissociating themselves means little.

When these fed up Nigerians hit the street, you no go believe wetin you go dey read and see online.[/color]

Which Oro wan last for 15 days? For broad daylight?

You are very right .

The government is just playing to the gallery with all these talks of NANS withdraws today, Northern Coalition withdraws tomorrow . For over a year the government has gradually become unpopular even among the people that voted for them enmass in the north and south. The government has refused to show workings with their actions , rather all they do is send their SA’s to attack anybody that points out their failure like a rabid dog.

I personally don’t support the proposed protest because from the agenda of the protest I’ve seen , it looks like a protest that will have neither head nor tail. The whole thing just has the usual Sowore’s brashness written all over it.

Talks about scrapping 1999 constitution, scrapping the senate ,restructuring ,releasing Nnamdi Kanu, etc are not something u want to mix with a protest that is supposed to address current hardship in the country . I believe that’s why people like prof Pat Utomi, Femi Falana , etc would be excusing themselves from the protest .

The government is trying to politicize a serious issue and giving it tribal coloration. Something that didn’t work during the ENDSARS sef. Below is a video of those who sacked Oba of Lagos palace and stole his staff of office . They are obviously “Omo adugbo “ and not some “imported thugs”.

Anybody who knows Lagos Island very well will know these are likely the same set of people who torched the government properties in that same axis . Like u rightly said, these guys are not on Nairaland or twitter where the new national anthem is now “Protest in your state and not my state “ .

Blame the West.
They should not have been given visas.

BlueRayDick:
I doubt it’s even possible cos such move will be like government playing into the hands of the protesters.

If government in conjunction with traditional rulers decide to fix oro festival on the proposed date of protest, then it means they have given workers holiday. Such holiday will only lead to workers joining the protests instead of being at their work place ; which is not in the government’s interest one bit!

Oro doesn’t stop men from moving about. In fact it will only lead to confrontation between the oro cultists and the people who want to go about their daily lives. Even COVID-19 lockdown couldn’t stop some people from going out , Shey na oro go come stop them ?

Shey the bank go return my money?
dis particular bank don chop my money too much especially during the old and new naira note saga. I no dey trust dem again.

The Oro talk na just scare tactics from mischievous element. Nobody does Oro for 15 days in broad daylight, not even in Oro land aka Ikorodu

izzou:
[color=royalblue]That's my fear in all these.

I was coming back to Lagos on Saturday and we saw a village that was having its market day. We parked to get food items

One small plate of tomato was 1500..Inside village.

How many people in that village can afford it?
How many people in towns can afford it?

Nigerians are suffering oh, and God forbid if it happens, nobody will be able to talk to them.

All these "Protest here and don't protest there" na just talk. When e start, mind no gree anybody come out sef.[/color]

When sacred traditional institutions start meddling in politics, things like this become unavoidable. APC remains a cancer.
