Occupy Nigeria protest was about the price of petrol.

The increment was done in a new year period

Labor union and Trade union joined

It's different from protest that has no head or tails

If protest couldn't have held from last year till when new minimum wage was negotiated, then what exactly is this protest about?

kindly see the screenshots below. how was the 2012 protest just about fuel subsidy?

since you say you dont know what this protest is about, pls what the standard of living in 2012 and what is it now?

is standard of living better today or worse compared to the jonathan era?

if tinubu wanted jonathan out of office via protest despite nigerians having a better standard of living, how come you now feel that despite all the hardship, you feign ignorance as to the reason why nigerians want to protest?

faithfull18:
Lol, something that the government itself can send thugs to infiltrate and make it turn violent then turn around to say, this is why we don't want you to protest and possibly ban future protest.

if you are afraid to protest now because of the reason you just gave, how will you have the courage to protest in future? will you not give the same excuse when the future comes?

Protest can never go bloody if government doesn't present a counter protest.

At Abuja, Dino Melaye and several other people were arrested. Also, in 2014 when Dino Melaye led another protest against procurement of Armoured vehicles, a pro government protesters clashed with his group, his group was manhandled.

You cannot compare the situation of occupy Nigeria with the present situation, Occupy Nigeria protest against subsidy removal when Nigeria was selling crude at high Price and our daily consumption was very low, our debt was very low, daily oil output was around 2 million barrel per day and the government inherited a robust economy from Obasanjo with foreign reserve and other investment estimated around $60 billion.

More importantly, there was no security report of disgruntled Political Campaign or groups planning to hijack the protest to undemocratically effect a change of government or report of tribal group selected attack on government properties and selected individuals properties as witnessed in Lagos during end SARS protest.

Also, different groups that are fully prepared to protect government properties, traditional institutions and selected individuals properties at their respective States may collide together.

See lie abeg . 2012 protest was successful because the sponsors partook in it. You can't be hiding and incite people without leading them and expect it to be peaceful.

The leaders of that protest took ownership gidigba... and because there was no anarchist coordinating and commandeering destruction of public properties in Lagos from abroad

Mr Ejifor further said that nobody said youths should not protest but if they protest and it turns violent, the government has the statutory mandate of protecting the state and the innocent citizens.


Let the message above sink in very well. We won't fold our arms while some embittered souls from the land of primitive forest-dwelling ancestors destroy our land. We will delete anything,both living and non living,that has to do with you in every inch of Yoruba land. Your cup of iniquity is full already; it's payback time!

If you feel like destroying anything,go to your village. You can bomb the 2nd Niger bridge if you so desire,but if just a fly is hurt in any part of Yoruba land,Lagos especially,it will be your end and no one will be spared - guilty or not!

Make una brace up,it gonna be a very long August in Nigeria. We get una time now....just bring it on!

E CONCERN UNA.

Hey bro, calm down and read the sh*t you wrote.
Your family must be disappointed.
Tribalism have finished you

Sorry GEJ is no longer in power and has come to terms with his good and his bad deeds.

Each government at any point will enforce the statutory mandate of protecting the state and the innocent citizens the way it deems fit. My right to protest cannot override another person's right to free movement and daily business activities! Simple as ABC.

Leader!

Whatever you choose to do, just be assured that Lagos is fully protected this time around, and this is not about the police or military. You do anyhow you see anyhow, we can't shout.

Thiefņubu is disgusting

Kanixt:
No. During GEJ, the protest was not about hunger and hike in petrol and commodity prices but just to grasp power by all means. That's why it was peaceful.

Did u just say the protest under Goodluck Jonathan was not about hike in petrol price??

APC , Tinubu, Buhari , wole soyinka and their supporters should ask Jonathan for forgiveness for protesting against him..in which Jonathan administration and government and the country at that time was not that bad compared to now..fuel was 89 naira a litre, 216 naira to a dollar , bag of rice 12,000 naira, foodstuffs was cheap, costs of living was low, inflation was low purchasing power of nigerians was high and bussinesses companies industries were thriving and excelling and creating jobs, the economy was good during Jonathan time compared to now...

Didn't turn violent cause it took place mainly in the SW and the saboteurs couldn't do much

Plus, the protest had elites and highly ranked personalities who are peace-loving and sane

To put this in a better context, it had almost none-Eastern person at the forefront, the last that had one, EndSars, ended in turmoil

You must be very sick!
Jonathan was a true definition of a Democrat & handled the protest well by not using force, not this nonsense u just wrote.

Throwback:
But people still got shot and died.

And once the soldiers were unleashed on Lagos, everyone scampered back to their homes.

EndSARS got violent because after many weeks and curfew was eventually declared, the responsible ones all went back home, except the rabblerousers who decided they wanted to continue blocking Lekki toll gate, as if the toll gate was the headquarters of SARS, and as if residents of Lekki did not need access to their homes.

Typical of APC to turn truth on its head. Why didn't you share the body of the news below.
As for your second screenshot, it seems you're unaware the soldiers were deployed after NLC called off the strike and some people were still insisting on going ahead with the protests

Beautifulday:
Protest can never go bloody if government doesn't present a counter protest.

All it takes to become violent is an overzealous policeman or soldier shooting on protesters. If they draft policemen or soldiers who love the hegemonic government system in Nigeria to man the protest, surely such policemen or soldiers will shoot on protesters.

How much are u buying fuel now as compared to last year subsidy was removed?? I bought fuel for 820 two days ago at a filling station.

Funkyswagzz:
Bros you guys need to learn when to shut up

They don't have shame. Their job is to paint the president in a good light, no matter how bad he turns out to be. Pathetic.

EyeCumInPiece:
Life is currently very unbearable for most Nigerians now.

The only way forward is to immediately restore Fuel Subsidy and fight all corrupt practices associated with the FS,
Scrap either Senate or House of Rep,
cut down drastically on the cost of governance at all levels,

At this point it is a must govt restore fuel subsidy. That is the only solution. Fuel is now selling for 850 naira at filling stations & it is still going up. How long can Nigerians continue? If fuel price is not reverse, this hardship is never going to end.

franchasofficia:
Yorubas have single handedly destroyed Nigeria, the whole world and the rest of Nigerians can see it already, thank God we are in the era of social media where every Nigerian can see the truth unveiling before our very own eyes, so Yorubas wont have the chance to come back tomorrow to use media lies and propaganda to change the truth we are witnessing today like they always do in the past. Yorubas are currently in charge of everything in Nigeria, from President to CBN Governor to Finance Minister to Chief Justice of Nigeria to Attorney General to Chief of Army staff, to Police IG, to Customs Comptroller to Immigration comptroller to EFCC Chairman to FIRS, to virtually all sectors of Nigeria, so Yorubas cannot come tomorrow and lie as usual that it wasn't them that destroyed Nigeria.



Anybody advising Yorubas to shun tribalism is wasting his or her time talking to Yorubas to quit tribalism.


Yoruba elites including this looting criminal pretending to be President organized a protest against Goodluck Jonathan's government for removing petrol subsidy, nobody tagged that their Ojota protest a Yoruba protest.


But take a look at what Yorubas have turned Nigerian politics into ever since Peter Obi came out to contest for Presidency, the first time majority of Igbos stood behind an Igbo Presidential candidate even in an unpopular party yet Yorubas saw it as a big threat that they had to turn the whole campaign era till election to a tribal war but they forgot all the years Igbos have been massively campaigning and voting Yoruba Presidential candidates, from MKO Abiola they always lied that Igbos did not vote for to Obasanjo they claimed that Igbos did not vote but voted PDP.


These demon possessed Yorubas have succeeded in rigging in their drug Lord as President yet they cannot focus and help their failing criminal brother to govern well instead they are still stuck on attacking Igbos, playing opposition even when the Presidential power, army, Police, EFCC, CBN, Finance, Immigration, Customs, etc are in their hands, and you say they are not cursed?


If you don't know who the demon is, take a closer look at an average Yoruba man, especially one that ventures into politics, only few Yorubas are exceptional human beings, the rest of them are demonic liars, unreliable backstabbers, betrayers and cunning in nature.



Below is 1993 Presidential election result showing how Igbos massively voted MKO Abiola they always lie that Igbos did not vote for, very demon possessed tribe

You stink

Wiifesnatcher:
Tinubu is more worried on protest been hijacked than working to reduce inflation

If you had performed well, who will be talking about protest, you keep saying we should keep calm while you keep buying luxuries things. At the helm of inflation and complaining no money, you keep borrowing money to buy SUV for lawmakers

I'm for peaceful protest nonetheless, no one should destroy anything in southwest states or loot anyone businesses

But Tinubu you failed humanity, you failed the integrity of people who put trust in you

The man is a classical example of putting square peg in round holes. Always doing things from the left. The first gift this man gave to Nigerians was to remove subsidy on his inauguration day & that very decision is foundation of all the economic mess we are facing today...The man is not smart to be very honest. Buhari govt was not this bad!

Where's that Segun Dada right now?

We are men

We all know this...!

Endsars was peaceful until Apc leaders decided to send thugs in uniform and mufti.

Their aim was to paint the protest bad and discredit the protesters.


All the time and resources being spent to demonise a legitimate protest would have been better spent preventing it, but Naija will always be Naija!

Slow country with slower clueless leaders.

Don't you just wish Jonathan was in power right now so you can scatter everything. But it's Tinumbu and you are confused. Don't worry, hunger will reset your tribal brain.

As usual I'm expecting that tribal mod to delete this while ignoring those above me

I have never seen someone so foolish like this. He should at least read his manual. It's amazing Sowore has positioned himself. Adegboruwa is their lawyer yet na Igbo this Eastern that. If it's not madness I wonder what is
