You can't keep shouting "Tinubu Must Go" when another election is approaching without clearly presenting an alternative.

Democracy provides a lawful path for political change through campaigns, debates, and elections—not through actions that incite violence or threaten public peace. Anyone who breaks the law, incites violence, or causes unrest should be investigated and, where sufficient evidence exists, prosecuted in accordance with the law.

If you want change, organize, campaign for your preferred candidate, present your ideas to Nigerians, and let the voters decide at the ballot box.

He is a nuisance but I don't think he should be arrested as long as he is still acting within his rights.

What VDM is doing is bordering on sedition. Yes, I understand his sentiment. We all know Tinubu is a collosal failure but the constitution only permits two ways to get him out of office. Either impeachment or by the ballot. Anything else outside this is a grave offense.

I watched with alarm as VDM and his boys blocked the Nigerian airforce base main gate in Abuja last night. Well armed airforce personnel were standing around doing nothing. Blocking a military base any where in the world is an invitation for guns to start singing but yet the men of the Nigerian airforce exhibited restraint.

VDM needs to be careful. The courts don't look too favourably on sedition.

Wait first let him.land make we see first. He think e get strong head we are here in abj waiting for him e go sabi say life nor balance and naija politics nor be hin mate.

We have on number of occasion told his mother to warn VDM before its too late but hin mama dey go Benin shrines, dey go warri shrines, dey chol witch, dey go here and there by the time we are ready for VDM those Ratels cult go weep for him.

VDM tied cowries round his neck dey trust it is for protection wey one jazz man gave him in Benin we go tear d jazz commot for hin neck and dealt with him with no mercy...

We wan see dat power wey hin get. Dem nor dey telli pesin.

He needs to be very careful at this moment.
While peaceful protest is a democratic right, sustained political tensions can escalate if rival groups organize counter-protests, increasing the risk of confrontations and public disorder.
The focus should be on campaigns, debates, and presenting alternative policies and candidates to voters. Political change is best achieved through the ballot box, not through actions that could deepen divisions or threaten public peace.

@OP.

FG must ignore him. I keep telling Nigerians a lot of leaders are more intelligent than we give them credit for.

VDM is a creation of this current social media age of people who know manipulation of the emotions of a fickle-minded public can make them very popular and rich even if they have nothing to offer anyone.

You cannot indulge those type with attention because it is what they crave and need. Imagine a glorified IndecentStar, confirming VDM has dubious moral integrity and uprightness, now pretending he cares about Nigeria?

He did make it clear that what he means by "Tinubu must go" is for the elections that will happen in about 6 months time

The boy get Juju and it will take serious minded government with ball to put him in his place

The young man is a future president of Nigeria. My advice to him is that he should contest for senate or Edo state governorship, and focus on lifting the masses out of poverty. That will increase his members in preparation for the presidential election. It will be a good idea to barb his hair and copy some of BLord fashion.

He should campaign for his candidate then,, or to register for a party and contest for the president
He is shouting "Tinubu Must go" The question now is "Who is his preferred candidates that want people to vote for?

Must he have a candidate. He has not said who he is supporting and you people have become restless.

He is free to say whatever and lead a protest. We are in democracy for heaven's sake. Are you guys not tired of this animalistic behaviour. Whoever speaks up must be arrested and jailed. killed or locked away.

Yesterday in Belfast, people protested. Called the Irish leadership and UK prime minister all sorts of name. Not a single arrest.

Americans calls Trump all sorts, make memes of him and videos openly mocking him.

do same in Nigeria and people like you who are anti democratic and can't stand criticism will say arrest, prosecute, lock away.

Which violence has VDM done. when has protest become a crime, when has it become a crime to say whoever is in power should go become a crime. shame

Go and sleep, Tinubu MUST GO.

Arrest VDM? What for? That's not necessary. He wants to use FG to grow his content creation profiles and handles...We no get time for that one.

Validated:
Go and sleep, Tinubu MUST GO.

You don't need to ask me to go and sleep. Yes, Tinubu must go, who will replace Tinubu?

Leave the long story, election is around the corner, he should wait till then or use the remain time to campaign for his candidate. If he continues to shout till jesus come, the question is who will replace Tinubu?

I can now see your problem from your statement "status quo" what is status quo have to do with VDM to tell us his preferred candidates

Actually, it's subversive to call for a sitting President to be removed from office without going through either the constitutional enshrined processes of removing an incumbent from his post.

The constitution outlined two means of removing a sitting President from office :.

1. Via the ballot

2. By impeachment process initiated at the NASS

If VDM is protesting that the President resigns , he is acting within his tights to demand that the President do so but calling for the President to be removed from office without going through the process I highlighted above is a subversive act.

Nigerians seem to think that the IBB Must go rights are applicable to a democratic setting.

The military did not have the people's consent so the people have every right to demand they evacuate themselves from power.

Every military junta that overthrew a previous administration be it elected civilian govt or military junta, always justified taking over on the premise that the overthrown govt had lost populist appeal.

Nigerians think that by orchestrating same protests demanding a democratically elected civilian adminstration can be subjected to such antics is however being not only subversive but anti democratic since they refuse to wait for next round of elections to exercise their rights to vote the govt out.

VDM should be very careful during his constitutionally guaranteed right to protest by avoiding any rhetoric calling for the sitting govt to be removed from office.

He can demand that Tinubu resigns from office or use the protest to campaign against the govt but going about chanting that the govt be removed is pushing high treason and sedition.

I hope he understands what I am saying

Nigerians are within their rights to a peaceful assembly (peaceful protests) including asking the President to resign, or asking the citizens to vote him out. They are fully within their rights. Those are constitutional means by which the leaders can go.

The only time they go beyond protected speech is when they start calling for removal of the President through unconstitutional means.

Read my post again.

Nobody said VDM doesn't have the rights to protest but rather the context of his Protests should not be to call for the President to be removed from his position.

And VDM should be weary of people like you who push others to do what will bring serious legal issues on their heads.

This is how you all encouraged Kanu to end up in Sokoto Prison and how you were encouraging Fubara to see himself as a tyrant king above the Rivers legislative body.


Well, VDM has more sense than to be goaded by you guys .

VDM didn't consult me before doing his protest, we're analyzing whether he has committed a crime or not.

While you're looking for an illegal reason to arrest him or shut him up so nobody can oppose Tinubu, I am telling you he's within his rights and has not committed a crime.

210 trillion naira magically developed wings in a country suffering the worst form of multi dimensional poverty globally yet you people's biggest headache is a nonentity who calls himself Very Dark Man ? Una brain dey skip

Whose calling for his arrest?

I am even giving him free legal advice that he should ensure his protest does not go overboard by calling for the President to be removed from office.

He can hold signs saying Tinubu should resign.

He can carry placards calling on the NASS to impeach Tinubu.

But going around chanting Tinubu Must Go is tantamount to calling for the overthrow of a democratically elected civilian adminstration which runs foul to the constitution and laws of the land
.
The DSS rightly arraigned one individual for posting on his SM calling for military to overthrow the govt. He is being trialed in court for sedition and subversion.

As I said, VDM is more sensible than you guys and he will keep his protest to within his rights as a citizen and not use it to call for a coup .

ElSudani:

No. He has his constitutional rights to protest .

FG needs to make sure VDM is keeping things moving smoothly. Simple enough.

Now you're rambling, trying to scale back on your aggressive tone, and trying to shift focus from issue at hand.

Has VDM called for the unconstitutional removal of anyone? Why are you putting words into his mouth?

Prior to this protest, he has posted multiple videos sensitizing people and telling them exactly what to do: "to vote for anybody but the President", so why are you looking for illegal reasons to shut him up?

VDM is doing exactly what he wants to do, while you're being a government apologist and overzealous sycophant

The boy get Juju and it will take serious minded government with ball to put him in his place

Lol. Nothing more funny than than people like you with primitive believe in juju and miracles. This is why Soludo is one of favourite politicians.

He is the main politician using practical approach to show Nigeria need to grow critical and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) approach to creating modern and successful society.

I love how Soludo challenged folks to think how the so-called Juju man doing voodoo for others to become rich is broke and wretched in a decrepit hut in some rural Village rather than being a billionaire in Banana Island.

I also clapped when Soludo, I think last week, told so-called 'Miracle pastors' he will take them to hospitals across Anambra to heal the sick if they can prove they are truly miracle healers.

Stop believing in superstitious and primitive garbage. Embrace STEM as China did. Xi Jinping, leader of China, is openly atheist and considers over-religiousity a weakness that detract from societies seeking practical solutions.

Where is Nigeria in comparison to China today if your belief in juju is correct and Xi Jinping mocking of it is wrong?

Is China not proof the black man, especially of the African variety, is just not scientific enough to craft solutions plus a creature of superstition and what he has not being able to use knowledge and research to conquer?

Great post. VDM is on his way to becoming very wealthy because he knows how to profit cynically from the social media age we live in.

Fair play to him. Let guyman cash in ojare. Can't hate the player. Hate the game.

Meanwhile, even VDM knows Tinubu is going nowhere. Bro is just optimising his social media visibility which directly impacts his ability to accumulate wealth in a social media age.

Cool down

Cool down how? The world has developed with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and you people are still praising one VDM clown wearing cowrie shell around his neck and claiming superior Edo juju?

Why can't that Juju give him ability to create the stupendous engineering achievements in Nigeria that China is developing in their nation and across the world?

You lot need to stop this primitive crap. It is very annoying and disgraceful to Nigeria. We need to be about science, research and technology-driven approach to evolving society.

During COVID, all your juju lords and pastors could do nada. It was Western research and science that delivered a vaccine. Nonsense.
