So, When Will The President Address The Nation? by Omosorire(op): 2:34pm On Aug 02, 2024
It's already Day 2 out of the 10 days earmarked for the "#endbadgovernanceinNigeria" nationwide protest and it's gathering momentum each passing day. Of course, this has affected the economy that is already in a vey precarious state. Now, the big question is: when will the President address the Nation and consider some of the demands that brought about this protest? The major demand is the reversal of some policies that have brought this economic hardship - Fuel Subsidy. It's not a rocket science that this can be looked into by the President and readjusted to allow for a possible win-win situation. It's not a gainsay that the removal of subsidy brought about food scarcity and hunger. Many people are stranded in various states as a result of this protest and economic activities are grounded. Banks, offices and markets remain under lock and key.
I don't think a responsible government will allow this protest to go beyond today. Things are already in a bad state in the country. Mr. President needs to address the Nation over the weekend and accedes to some of the demands. This protest needs not extend to next week.

He will not address the nation until the protesters start retaliating.

He believes the protesters should be killed

Are you guys tired? Mr. President will not address the ragtag rioters and looters. He’s got other more important issues to attend to. When you all are tired looting and destroying properties, go home and sleep.

He shouldn't, as he can't meet most of the ridiculous demands of some protesters.

So, he will only get them even more agitated.

1) They want him to reverse fuel subsidy, but that's not possible.

2) They want him to return dollar exchange rate to 'where he met it', but that's not possible.

3) They want him to 'crash' the price of foods, but there is no immediate magic wand the President can wave to make it happen. Federal government doesn't farm pepper, tomatoes, Yam, etc

4) They want him to operate only Senate or House of Representatives and not both, but the President doesn't have the power to do that under the constitution.

If the President tries 1) and 2) above, the economy will collapse within 6 months, Naira will hit at least N5000 to a dollar before the end of the year, a loaf of bread will reach N7000 each and Nigerians will be begging for us to go back to where we were (are) on 2 August 2024.

People just don't understand.

They should ask Turkey, Lebanon, and Egypt how it is going?
