| August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by Namaster(op): 2:32pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
News have been flying around about Sowore's upcoming protest in August. Most of it have been people cautioning against it and there's also been a warning from the United Nation's Department of Safety and Security about potential HIJACKERS! I LAUGHED when Tinubu and his allies begged Nigerians to be patient with him. I was NOT surprised when security agencies, including the Nigerian Military, tried to intimidate the protesters that have not even gathered. Everybody knows the Nigerian Military have a HARD-ON for unarmed civilians. I was ALL for the protests and waiting for Nigerians to deal with Tinubu and his SHITTY government. I looked forward to the protests. That is UNTIL I saw the list of demands. If you have not seen the list of demands, look it up! It's a JOKE! It's very OBVIOUS that a politician wrote it. It reads like a manifesto for a political campaign. And much like a manifesto, it's completely UNREASONABLE and UNACHIEVABLE and merely meant to stir up the LARGEST number of people. ANYONE who goes out for the protest and ends up getting shot to death would have died the death of a FOOL! There is NO unity of direction. ZERO common goal! The demands sound like a list of things a jobless guy would bitch about in a beer parlour. For context, here's a summary of what Sowore wants YOU to risk your life for: 1. Scrap the ENTIRE Constitution and introduce a new one just like that! Sounds to me like an idiot begging for Military Rule.2. After scrapping the WHOLE constitution and being in DIRE need of a new one, IMMEDIATELY scrap the Senate, a body that is required to make laws in Nigeria. Apart from being absolutely STUPID, these 2 points taken together have the potential to CAUSE a level of absolute CHAOS that Nigerians have never seen before. But Sowore did NOT stop there. No, siree! 3. Pay a minimum wage of #250,000 which is just STUPID considering how devastating the following inflation would be for the Nigerian Economy. It gets even STUPIDER when you realise that the Labour Unions have agreed to a deal of #70,000 to be reviewed every 3 years. 4. Invest heavily in education and give grants and not loans to Nigerian (tertiary) students and aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria. The 4th demand is the MOST reasonable demand on the list. Especially the second part. But the idea of giving grants, which is essentially FREE money, to 18-year olds to study sociology and mass communication still rubs me the wrong way. A subsidized education targeted at students in school for courses related to CRITICAL sectors in Nigeria like Healthcare, Agriculture and IT would have been better. 5. Release Nnamdi Kanu, the founder of a TERRORIST organisation. A man who SINGLEHANDEDLY destablised an entire region. A man whose followers continue to impose a sit-at-home curfew on a whole region and MURDER anyone who fails to comply with their weekly lockdowns. Kanu and his followers brought DOUBT upon the highest office in Nigeria by first claiming that the President was a CLONE and then changing the narrative that the President had been replaced by a body double. If you think Kanu is not a MENACE that should never be allowed to step foot outside of a prison cell EVER, then you don't understand the extent of damage he can do. The man successfully convinced HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, perhaps millions, of his followers that Buhari was cloned even though NO human being in history had ever been cloned at that point and even now. Anything short of Kanu dying in prison would be a FAILURE of the Nigerian government. 6. Renationalise publicly owned enterprises sold to government officials and cronie. Makes sense to take back these institutions from the cronies they were sold to. Shame it got tossed among these demands. 7. Bring back fuel subsidy. This is a joke because despite Tinubu's bold announcement about subsidy removal, his government has paid OVER #8 TRILLION in fuel subsidy.Sowore is willing to expend people's lives to fight for....NOTHING! 8. PROBE corrupt politicians. This is another joke. Everybody knows there are FEW politicians more corrupt than Tinubu himself. Asking Tinubu to probe corruption is like asking a blind man to help another blind man climb Mount Everest.9. Restructure Nigeria. A sensible request that got lost in a sea of sheer STUPIDITY. 10. Make security agencies like police and Military stop harassing civilians. Scrap USELESS security agencies and TACKLE insecurity. This is another sensible demand that is so LOADED it deserves it's own PROTEST. But here it is in faraway number 10. 11. Establish a Special Energy Fund immediately to drive massive, corruption-free power sector development. Question for CONFUSED Sowore: Is this before or after taking back the DISCOs from private investors? 12. Immediate Reconstitution of the Nigerian Electoral Body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks appointed to manipulate elections. Sowore thinks he's sleek by slotting in a MAJORLY selfish goal in number 12. Sounds like dude's trying to form like he lost the Presidential election due to electoral manipulations. In which case, he's a BIGGER clown than I thought. Or which election was manipulated? Nigeria has 20 APC governors, 13 PDP governors, APGA, LP and NNPP have 1 governor each. Sounds to me the electoral manipulation is DONE by politicians and their parties and not INEC. Sowore needs to equips his party to manipulate elections and stop trying to waste people's lives to harass INEC. 13. Massive investment in public works and industrialisation will help employ Nigeria’s teeming youths. Concerning that the youths whose lives Sowore wants to risk in his protests rank so LOW on his list of demands. 14. Massive shake-up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of judges and judicial officers that continue denying everyday citizens access to real justice. Another good point that got lost in a sea of SHITTY demands. Overall, the protest sounds like an expression of IMPOTENT outrage that is not really meant to achieve anything except maybe raise Sowore's political profile. It's touching on so MANY subjects it's bound to yield ZERO results. Especially when you consider the fact that some of the demands are downright RIDICULOUS. Sowore is NOT looking to achieve any viable result. He's just looking to TROLL Tinubu. As such, it's up to you to decide whether you're willing to get shot and KILLED to achieve nothing in a protest organised by a Nigerian Politician. |

He will be lucky if he gets to join Nnamdi Kanu in jail. |

Op sounds as if FG has plans to kill innocent peacefull protesters. In his criticism of sowore points he has only shown himself to be selfish and a point for protest. |

zeuss:Do you know the meaning of rage in the days of Rage or whatever Sowore calls it lol? You can see there is violent and uncontrollable in the definition. So it basically means days of violent uncontrollable anger. That doesn't sound peaceful to me.

Apt and sensible with logical points from an Opposition But trust them to flood here with insults to attack the OP |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by zeuss: 2:47pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
Goodvibes007:Civil disobedience is borne of and is a bonafide display of rage. Protest is civil disobedience. Contextually speak. Don't confuse yourself |

zeuss:The OP is a fool. Who is going to kill protesters? The op should tell us whom his pay masters has engaged to kill peaceful Nigerians. |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by Beautifulday: 2:49pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
Namaster:How much was paid and to who did your pay masters paid to kill peaceful Nigerians? |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by skywalker240(m): 3:10pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
Who takes sowore seriously? Here in the South, we won't do any stupid protest, let the foolish ones and the wise ones experience the challenge. It's just a pity the foolish ones are yoked with the wise one's in this situation, so painful This protest was Bourne out of hunger and hardship, but it is now clear the political prostitutes have hijacked it. |

Beautifulday:Payment was #70K as per the new minimum wage. ![]() Maybe if enough FOOLS like you go out and get GUNNED DOWN in August, I'll be getting paid #250K. |

Namaster:If fools like you remain at home and live for a thousand years begging for food. They will call it living 😀 |

Namaster:😂😂😂 The interesting thing is that there is a Yoruba proverb for what you just said. Ti teni kan oba baje teni kan onida Meaning, If one person does not become unfortunate, the other person may not move up. |

zeuss:You sound like an IDIOT that doesn't live in Nigeria. The protests would require the presence of police and the Military. One of either the protesters or the security agents would taunt the other. Inevitably leading to a shooting. The result of which would be a massacre of the protesters or a mobbing and a discharge of jungle justice on security operatives. Either way, the results would be DISASTROUS! But that would have been a justifiable risk for a protest with a HOMOGENEOUS goal. Not the scattergun approach that Sowore is taking to the upcoming one. If you must risk your life, do it for a SENSIBLE goal. Not a POINTLESS protest. |

The irony is that Sowore himself will flee to America where he holds a passport via seme border in Benin Republic. |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by Namaster(op): 3:27pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
Beautifulday:Before you decide to engage with me, make sure you are NOT dumb. Am I begging for food or getting paid to tell people NOT to waste their lives for a Nigerian politician? Which is it? |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by Namaster(op): 3:30pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
opamoses1:That's the most DIABOLICAL part. He has the MOST to gain and the LEAST to lose if the protests go awry. NOBODY will shoot Sowore. He's rich, he's famous and he's a politician. But the trigger-happy security agents would have no problem GUNNING DOWN a random guy. It's INSANE! |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by Beautifulday: 3:32pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
Namaster:All of the above. No life can be wasted. Correct yourself. The man who is going to dying today by hunger is not different from the man who is going to be shot dead today by a happy trigger corrupt police man. Not different from a man who will commit suicide today for whatever reason. Death is death and all men must die. Go eat and drink water. |

Namaster:I dont understand the reasoning capacity of people like this. The constitution of Nigeria has already given everybody freedom to protest, but people keep starting threads, questioning the right of people to protest What's that about? The constitution never said you must have a good reason to protest, it simply says you are free to express your self Yet people keep questioning the right to protest, or if the reason to protestis genuine. But the saddest part of it is that a constitutional right of protest, granted to all citizens, is what some people now say will end in death, just to scare people away from protest Today, the right to protest has become a byword for killing. I warned of this a long time ago when unarmed peaceful Biafran protesters were being shot and killed, while other Nigerians cheered the authorities to continue this injustice, in the name of 'one Nigeria' I warned them that the injustice you support today could one day come back to affect you. Now, killings and murder now follows peaceful protest in Nigeria like a shadow Nigeria is a failed country that should have been dissolved years ago |

gidgiddy:It's IRONIC that someone like you would question the reasoning capacity of another person. Quoting such a LENGTHY post just to drop a comment? Who the FUUUUUCCCCK does that? |

If the government fit gather this same info against bandits and terrorists, maybe protest won't have even being mentioned Cos farmers would be able to go to their farms |
| Re: August Protest: Sowore Wants You To Get KILLED For NOTHING! by zeuss: 4:28pm On Jul 25, 2024 |
Namaster:If the FG is this repressive the more reason for the protest......GEJ has shown us the ideal expectation for any FG response to protests |

Namaster:What seems all too clear from that writeup of yours is that you don't seem aware of how Constitutions are written or refashioned to suit the desires of the people. Please investigate the following article . https://pcwcr.princeton.edu/drafting/index.html |

Sowore just dey mislead people. You want to gather crowd for protest wey no go yield anything? That one na pure madness. People don suffer too much already; why go risk your life for show?

Namaster:Your politicians pay their children's school fees using money which belongs to Nigeria and Nigeria. The cost of the average college degree abroad costs almost 200 to 400 times more than the cost of a college degree for a student in Nigeria. That money used to pay those exorbitant fees belong to the Nigerian people and can provide for the tuition needs of hundreds. Why is it Ok for your politicians to use that money on their own kids but not ok to demand it be given as tuition grants to 100s of Nigerian students in need of it? Why must that money not be used by them to study whatever it is they desire? ![]() |

Sowore is not coming down to Nigeria from his safe abode in the US..Be careful out there. Nobody will remember your name.

Sowore just loves to play with fire. When will these protest leaders learn? They are only leading people to the slaughterhouse. |
Day Of Rage Protest: Sowore Releases 14 Key Demands From Tinubu • Ekiti Court Remands Moyinoluwa Olowoyo For EndSARS Protest. Sowore Reacts • Some People Made Billions From EndSARS Protest - Sowore • 2 • 3 • 4
Paramount Ikwerre Youth Leader Proves Ikwerre Are Ibo. • Drama As Newly LG Chairmen Receive Certificate Of Return In Rivers • Drama As Ebonyi Governor Crowns Father Having 30 Wives, Over 100 Children King
Sounds to me like an idiot begging for Military Rule.
This is a joke because despite Tinubu's bold announcement about subsidy removal, his government has paid OVER #8 TRILLION in fuel subsidy.
