It is shameful for the military to politicise a protest and by the way, since when did military got involved in internl affairs. This is an indirect threat by playing mind games. Allow people to have a PEACEFUL Protest

Naso human beings dey always be and will always be until Nature will correct and reset their brains for them. Most human beings are greedy, wicked, and evil by default. Some always sees themselves as demi-god and feel others should worship them. It was always like this among the OYINBOS until NATURE came and do its work. TYRANTS don't back down easily, Power is very sweet and intoxicating. Go and read up about human beings and be fufilled.

Go and fight terrorists not innocent protesters
Once a protester starts harassing other citizens going about their lawful business or destroying property he ceases to be innocent.

The army has the right to shoot such elements!

At the end of the day it's all about who is most affected. The poor and hungry will come out and protest and don't mind getting killed because even if they are not killed by bullets they would be killed by hunger or security or bandits anyway and it's still the same death. I read of a family eating grass meant for animals and Maggi in the North.

The middle class which no longer exists some of them who hv become poor will come out to protest too.

Only the rich or those that are still comfortable will stay in their house.

You talk of family some are in IDP camps some family members hv been killed by insecurity.

200 million nigerians let's say just 10 million mobilize vs 200,000 soldiers. Go and look at what happened during the Arab Spring. Power rests with the ppl bro the Kenyans realized it look at zhat they achieved. They warded off new crippling taxes and made the government more accountable.
So tell me what the Arab spring achieved. Has Tunisia become London? Egypt end up with El Sisi, military in Civilian clothes
What did Kenya achieved? The government stopped proposed tax increase.
Violence won't achieve much.

That is it. I'm doing fine too. You are doing fine too and may never fill the thing but as you have said most of your relatives are not doing fine. That's how it is all over the country. And it will get to a stage where some of your relatives will start coming to you to help them out until you yourself get exhausted. A wealthy or rich man among a thousand poor people is also a poor man.

Can this protest be peaceful, no one can guarantee that. Given the tension in the Land, it will eventually turn bloody and there will be victims. I hope you will lead the protest.

TYRANTS and powerful people don't back down easily, they always sees the masses as ants which should be stepped on and crushed if you dare challenge them. Let me not deceive you, Power is very sweet and intoxicating. Go and read up about human beings and be fufilled.
Very wise post. Learnt a lot from this and will definitely be referring to it.

Satan told Adam and Eve: "And you will be like God" when they eat the fruit in the garden of Eden. That's why up to today men see themselves as god with any small power they hv. Even God regretted creating man sef.

If them born una well come out and protest, I will keep saying my own, the only moment you can show your strength is through your vote...firstly dethrone all their council chairman and councillors which means you are sending a message ahead of 2027.
If dem born you well, come out to say this nonsense on the 1st of August.
Be warned and schooled that the enemies of progress are not more than the people.

That's what I tell them. If the death is not by soldier bullet it will still be by herdsmen or insecurity or unaffordable drugs or failed electricity in hospital emergency or because goods cant be afforded due to high exchange rate so why not just go out and protest.

It can’t be peaceful. Because the government will certainly hire thugs to cause violence during the protest,so that army or the police can start shooting people. Outside government interference,it would have been peaceful..

E pass to come out with live bullets and shoot at peaceful protesters? undecided

Let them try it, so far this protest is peaceful and the government tries any rubbish to set the protesters up they will see the mother of all protests.

Endsars will be child's play. This time it's the government officials (from local government to federal) that will feel the wrath of the citizenry.

Let us see how many soldiers nigeria has that can surround them and save them when the time comes angry
everyone knows it's u igbos that have alterior motive n we are waiting for u

Shebi na only south west dey Nigeria abi?
U can't protest in your region?

Nobody is advocating for violence. We are advocating for PEACEFUL protests. Egypt is more prosperous than Nigeria and their currency is almost equal to dollar. Tunisia is better than Lomdon. I can tell you that Kenya is now a better place I hv friends there. Kenya protests were peaceful it was police/soldiers that made it violent by opening fire and killing 50 protesters.

Exactly. Why hasn't the army neutralized bandits and kidnappers. Why don't they focus their energy on that??

Just say what you know and make arguments with facts. Indeed Tunisia is better than London and Egypt Pound .... Since you can't guarantee the peaceful protest, I do hope you will lead from the front and not behind keypad.

The army, military this protest is also for your own good...we know that the hunger hardship is also hitting and affecting you military men and soldiers..you cannot tell us you are not suffering this hardship and hunger..see many of your men standing on the high way,roads mounting road blocks harassing nigerians, motorist and collecting bribe inorder to survive this hard economy because your little salaries is not sufficient enough to last you for one month and cater for you and your family
Re: Aug 1st Protest: We Will Not Standby And Allow Anarchy Befall Our Nation - Army by Pennilessword1: 12:36pm On Jul 25, 2024
Is it any concern of it..the citizens are protesting not external forces...isn't that what the army is meant for...if it gets out of hand it's still no business of theirs. Call in the national guard or defence corp
