masseratti:
what Nigeria normally use to stabilize the naira is foreign reserve over the years, which is stupid, Nigeria had $28b when Tinubu came in ,the government can only liquidate or touch $7b ,the cbn use on the average $400 m weekly to subsidize the naira fall that translate to over $22b annually,not to count money for subsidy.

What this government is yet to get right is that if you still keep on having an official rates and there is a black market,you can't win the black market until you truly float your currency, abandon any official rate,let both Dangote,chukwudi the importer,baba Taiwo that want to pay children school fees, everyone under the sun buy dollars at real market value,then the rate will stabilize.

Lunch am massive agro production in all the 774 lgs with government funds, employ agricultural extension officers from nysc for bsc agric holders ,and gradutes from agricultural schoois 30 for each local government,a prof and two Drs from our universities to supervise, under a year or two food security will be guaranteed and excess for export.

Critical industries should also be helped be it technically, financially and other wise,we need to find out what do we have that if we put more effort and add value into it ,we can export and improve productiont.

The first should wake up in their job,it's high time the first start asking anyone with sudden wealth to explain where he or she got money from to buy Bugatti,send children to school abroad,buy land or build house in high brow area, People have to start explaining where those money came from and if they are genuine adequate tax is taken into the government covers,the FIRS can even design a report scheme like in china if you have money all of a sudden and it's unexplained,the citizens in that community are encouraged to report you ,either in your community or your place of work ..not less than 5 people,so that it won't be like the whistleblower system that has failed us ...

The penalty for financial crimes is way to low.. government has to take financial crimes seriously and penalty at par with Drugs and armed robbery crimes.

Lastly we would need more humanly useable Prisons built,if ever we are ready to move forward.

Sir, you are very correct. You are a core professional. I suspect you are either an economist or a Financial Analyst. Your analysis of the situation on ground and way forward is perfect. The Nigerian system cannot work that way. I pity the South West elites and elders that have not woken up to reality. Most of the South West youths are also affected. They do not wake up to reality. Tinubu met $28 billion in the reserve with a budget for 97% debt servicing. Out of the $28 billion, he can only touch $7 billion for a population of over 200 million people.

Floating the naira fully as suggested by you will make exchange rate fully determined by market forces. I think what is happening now is narrowing of the gap between official rate and black market. The real value of Naira to Dollar is being monitored by CBN.

All the Agricultural revolution steps you highlighted are good but implementation is the solution. Some people have determined to frustrate government in everything. They want immediate solution. Government within a short time less than 14 months fulfilled an inherited obligation of $7 billion dollars. That is huge. Government is also working on diverse policies from students loans, trade policies, CNG for transportation and industries, tax holiday for industries and massive roads construction. Apart from Obasanjo era, there is no government in Nigeria that such diverse developmental policies and projects have taking place.

Politics in Nigeria is something else. Jonathan left $25 billion in the reserve with debts for Buhari while all the major actors travelled abroad before handing over ceremony. Buhari left $28 billion for Tinubu with some debt commitment maturing before one year in power. The government has tried despite the inflation. The security problem in the North East and North West greatly affected agriculture and financial commitment to fighting terrorism is very huge.

Tharyor1984:
If you don't know , you don't know! Dangote is the longest serving cabal in Nigeria since the military era at the expense of the masses

We thank God the IBOS now know Dangote is a Saviour. The IBOS have fought Dangote for years. They called him several names. They called him a monopolist, government paddy paddy businessman and all sort of bad names. They don't see him as enemy of IBETO and Capital Oil again even before Senator Ifeanyi Ubah died. I remembered fighting for almost two decades on behalf of Dangote against the IBOS. The toughest was during Jonathan when Jonathan allowed importaion of Cement because of IBO importers while Dangote, BUA, Lafarge and others invested billions of dollars in local manufacturing and were competing with IBETO imported cement from Portharcourt. Buhari stopped it immediately Jonathan left. The IBOS cried foul.

They called Dangote Refinery a Scam, they said it can never work. We defended the refinery. We thank God. They (IBOS) are now the ones defending Dangote. They did at a time we are studying their agitation against Dangote but we are surprised they have forgotten IBETO and Capital Oil and shifted base to Dangote. Dangote now have good supporters. They are good in propaganda and they controlled Social Media. If this my posting appears on nairaland, they allow it because they can filter it or even block it. Dangote has good supporters.

Sports / Re: Tobi Amusan Finishes Third In 100m Hurdles, Crashes Out by professorPABX: 5:24pm On Aug 09
LagosPrince:
Tobi amusan finishes third in 100m huddles, loses out on automatic qualification.

Nigeria's Tobi amusan has lost out on automatic qualification after finishing third in heat 1 of women's 100m hurdles semi-final in Paris on Friday, August 9.

The world record holder clocked 12.55s to come third and would now have to wait and hope she makes it as one of the best losers for a chance in the final .

She tried. While others ran the hurdles track, she ran the track, she also ran against some Nigerians. Her hurdles were physical (track event) and spiritual (Nigerians filled with bitterness). Some Nigerians never prayed she wins. If she had won, they would have been shouting 'drug' or Juju.

I was surprised the speed at which the information hit nairaland frontpage. I had expected that. On Wednesday when she won the heat with a spectacular speed and it was reported on many online media. It was over 9 hours later it was reported on sports section of nairaland. I have monitored the sports section for 8 hours because I know such information may not be on frontpage.

As if it was planned, few minutes after the news appeared in the sports section, the first comment was an insult "Drug Cheat".

People don't really know the people they are dealing with. The earlier our people know they are seating on bomb and get prepared the better.

I had expected Awujale of Ijebu land to delegate at least Wasiu Ayinde and about 3 members of prominent Ijebu sons to the tournament for emotional support. You don't fight enemies with sophistication and liberality when they hate you with cruel hatred.

Salewa97:
It's crucial to remember that the issues in the oil sector run deeper than just one individual. Let's focus on solutions that will truly benefit Nigeria's economy and support Dangote in his efforts to enhance our local refining capabilities.

It is very painful to me, very painful that Senator Ifeanyi Ubah died when he was highly needed. The most needed man in the parliament at a very critical and crucial legislative session died . I wept when they informed Senator Ifeanyi Ubah died. People were asking me why? I said because he was the Chairman of Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream Sector. One of the major players in Petroleum Downstream Sector is in the Chamber, if the House can be penetrated, they dare not come to Senate . If Senator Ifeanyi Ubah were to be a Ghanaian, Ghanaians will say they killed him because of the petroleum downstream sector battle to penetrate Senate.

In Ghana, Sentuo Group is building two Refineries at the cost of $1.98 billion. In Ghana that is a very huge cost. Some Ghanaians are still complaining. I told them in Nigeria, the two Refineries would cost about $15 billion. The government will give waivers, incentives and direct financial support up to $3 billion dollars. At the end, it is the government support that will build the refinery. All the loans from the consortium of banks and government waivers and incentives is to complete and start other projects in other countries and in Nigeria. Those Ghanaians said Nigeria is big and rich. Oby Ezekwesili called for the Audit of Dangote Refinery and NNPC / Federal Government commitment in the Refinery project. It is already too late.

Apart from dirty fuel or substandard fuel, some operators in the sector with investment and commitment felt cheated. They have their opinions. They felt short changed.

Oghene86:


As long as she was cleared, you can't call her a drug cheat, because you don't know anything compared to the body that cleared her, you can continue wailing for all I care

It is not a big deal if there is a petition to Sport Body that an athlete is using drug. The sport body acts on petition and clear the athlete if no drug is found. Mind you, this is different from general Medical Drug Test conducted on all the athletes. Many world champion have had to be tested for drugs before a major tournament and after a major tournament.

After she broke World record, some defeated Nigerians at home fighting psychological war of over four decades said she used drug, some of them said she used Juju.

I saw them at Ibadan using Yoruba names to register for NIN. Also at Abuja in 2007 I saw them using Yoruba names on their International Passports and applying for UK Visa with Yoruba names. They are doing all those nonsense to camouflage in order to influence and blackmail the Yorubas from within.

They have captured Social Media with their illicit funds. That is why they ban and suspend accounts so as to have free flow of propaganda without opposition. The owner of such Social Media in South West is playing with fire.

After more than 9 hours of this 100metres hurdle event, I never expected it on nairaland frontpage, but was surprised that events that happened around the same period and after the hurdle was on front page. We are monitoring events and situations as they unfold.

femicyrus:

You are not sincere
She was coming 1st and 2nd during heats on a lucky run with longer finish time.
There was a heat she came 1st and her finish time was longer than that of someone who came 3rd in another heat.

Her qualification time for the final was ranked 8th and she ran the final on lane 9 to finish 6th
Only a miracle can make her win a medal with this exegesis.
She is a special and dedicated athlete who defiled all odds with aspiration for glory in Nigerian colors.

This hero should be celebrated
She gave her all

Your analysis is 100% correct. The NOC know this ahead of the competition. Most of the people here will never see your observations. I attended University in South East several years ago where I spent 6 years, I observed so many things. The reasoning and their logic are very adverse. The same thing is applicable to Stationary Stores Football Club of Lagos in those days . They can never believe Stationary Stores lost a match on a clean ground. They will always blame Referee or Linesman and they are ready to fight Referee, Linesmen and anybody with contrary views.

If she had ran for the 100m it would have prepared her to what is to come.

Failure is an excuse. She tried. So, it was 100 metres race that will prepare her for the 200 metres final?. Other said she got exhausted during the heat. Other competitors also participated in the heat. She tried.

Tournament is not a place to train to win a medal. The training is done ahead of the tournament.

Politics / Re: Atiku to Service chiefs: Don't use lethal force on peaceful protesters by professorPABX: 2:55am On Aug 07
Jostoman:
Atiku is 100% right.

Atiku is talking like an illiterate. Is this the type of person that wants to rule Nigeria?

The Military has constitutional duties in Peace time, during crisis and during external aggression.

Protest is different from riots. During riots, if the Military is invited by Police, the Military will use Force on dissidents and rioters.

I understood he felt cheated. He started his Presidential ambition since 1992. At the Jos Convention of SDP, in a keenly contested Primary election, there was no clear winner at the first primary because ABIOLA won with a margin less than 400 to defeat Kingibe. He stepped down for MKO ABIOLA. As a very young man, I heard it during discussion. When I grew up, I observed despite his stepping down, the election between Kingibe and ABIOLA showed that his delegates were shared by both ABIOLA and Kingibe.

People are talking about Emilokan, the fact remains that Atiku believed by political seniority, he is senior to Tinubu and that his presidency is given to Tinubu.

ATIKU should understand that Paul Ibe, his PA is not working for him and he is not working with him. He is working for Peter OBI.

As an elder statesman, he should think deep before making any public statement.

Make them leave the innocent guy joor, he is working hard for himself

The guy is innocent. I weep for Tinubu. It is like arresting a Taylor at Kara beside Ojodu Berger or at Alaba Rago in Lagos. The guy is just hustling. He doesn't know what he is doing. They brought sample flag to him to sew and he charges per flag.

Those that surrounded Tinubu disappointed me. I know Professor Soyinka is being supported by many Donor Organizations and he has to defend their objectives. At old age, he has to understand the situation on ground.

On August 1 the first day of protest, they have objective to end democracy and declare State of Emergency. This is visibly displayed at Ibadan by a CSO. The Northern elites begged Tinubu that he should not allow US to relocate their base located in the Sahel countries to Nigeria. They said as they are rejected in Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali they have been begging Tinubu to relocate to Nigeria. The same Sahel countries are presently with Russia.

The poor Taylor doesn't know anything. He was simply doing business. Most of the protesters might not even know the implications. The Taylor can never know the real sponsor.
Politics / Re: Tinubu Didn’t Address Our Demands – Youths Storm Lagos Streets, Continue Protest by professorPABX: 4:25pm On Aug 05
AlexBells:

It is amateurish to separate military from politics as I can assure you, military never leads a successful coup. You are dealing with a purely civilian revolt and you want to apply purely military principles that’s a total failure. How can you even summarize military as those of infantry, amour and intelligence. What about logistics, humanity and welfare. Engagement and civilian target.

You can’t separate a refined military from other instruments of power. I identify more as a politician however politicians must be militarily informed. Because the most strategic military role is on the politician in a democracy and maybe monarchs and so on in other system of government.

I still make it clear to you, meddling with civilian infrastructure will only worsen the situation, earlier I told you about time, you are only admitting that now everything is out of time. You can’t say it was a strategic patience all here have been a blunder. This is purely civilian affair and the military have little business here unless they are ready to provide food.

The farms should be secured long ago. In all of these the problem is not being addressed. Forget the Russian flag and whatever headline you are seeing. Things are not yet out of hand the theme is hunger but the shenanigans is now leading to what I stressed earlier splinter and multi objective revolt now Russian flag is joining the trend.

This trend will not gain ground in the south despite media exposure, what does that show you? Objective splinter is forming because the system is using mechanism that’s changing the narrative factors contributing to that civilian channel distortion and military approach to civilian situation in case like that the population respond and they are at liberty to chose their means m.

You are inexperienced. You are a politician. You are not a military strategist . What is the difference between End Democracy Now on the first day of protest at Ibadan and holding of Russian Flag today in the North?

I will not answer you again.

AlexBells:


Now you are beginning to make sense, so you understand that the military have other signal mechanisms yet the protesters choices are limited. Now the protest is already live you are trying to manage a disaster. You understand that the lack of tactical signal medium makes the protesters rely on civilian model communication now if you break that chain of communication while event is already live how sure are you that the situation would be controlled? Now the protesters have access to other means of signal, telephone line, radio and the rest. In fact there were attempt to slow civilian communication only that it almost caused a revolt at the end nothing was achieved.

The media can blow things out of proposition but reality is almost the same. Do we dwell on propaganda or reality. Propaganda worke yes but that’s only if reality is yielding. If the military post a picture of mammoth crowd protesting in Holly ghost Enugu here I’m not going out to check. You seem to forget reality. This is a ground for reaction game, that’s been the worst aspect of the tinubu administration because they try and say anything that comes to their mind without watching out for reaction.

Now that you understand coordination and strategic signal. How are military able to carry out complex operation yet remain confidential. They have the tools. Are these tools available to civilian revolters? In most cases no so civilian relies on improvising civilian utility and when you break such utility their chain breaks and when that happens in a live situation in 6 out of 10 cases it ends in disaster.

Never break the signal chain of a live operation. Unless if it is critically determined what the reaction can be. In this case reaction could be dark.

Your analysis didn't reveal you as a military strategist. I observed deeply your area of strategy and found none. Well, it is already too late.

On Thursday August 1, writing with another borrowed account I said I want to write Bayo Onanuga and IGP about the CSO led by a lady at Ibadan.

https://www.nairaland.com/8171760/oyo-residents-join-hardship-protest

One of the placards had " End Democracy Now" another one had "Declare State of Emergency". The objective of the group is to End Democracy Now and for Military to take over and declare State of Emergency.

That is why I read through all you have written to see which Corp you have core specialty - is it Infantry, Amour, Signal or Intelligence and found none. Later, I found out you said you are a politician. Your response is political.

My observation on Thursday is based on intelligence observations. There is no difference between a person holding a Russian Flag and the person holding a banner "End Democracy Now".

In 2022, a man who often come to a Church Camp said if Tinubu becomes President they will invite the Military to take over. I asked him who will invite the Military. He is a Delta IBO. When Tinubu became President last year, he became depressed and try to mobilize people about hunger, always complaining and try to convince people, he was threatened, he stopped coming because he was afraid.

Propaganda has been used to drive the protest. There are other groups that are monitoring events. If the protest is allowed, those groups may come out.

AlexBells:

We are arguing from two different perspective, maybe you are coming from an aid worker perspective, I’m a politician and military strategist. Check the term coordination regarding military/political situation. This argument is not needed because we are from different school of thought.

Any soldier advanced soldier or advanced politician will easily get where I’m going. Coordination is not information it is the principle and dynamics of the information in impacting political or security objective.

Coordination here is not referring to the media which is where you get it wrong it is referring to the movement of objectives which will break if information flow is broken and thereby impacting solution. Keep everyone in the dark and within 48 hours the music changes in every other places.

What if the organizers use a cryptic system for information would the media still be a problem, what if the use the dark web, would misinformation and disinformation still be a problem, what if they use a satellite phones would the media be a problem. The summary is their coordination shouldn’t be broken otherwise you risk a multi-language situation. The language is same. Hunger, subsidy, hardship.

It is not about the media, it is about the problem. Media propaganda can’t work if there’s no crack.

You said you are a military strategist, I reserved my comment because you are delving into a very familiar terrain but I reserved my comment.

You mentioned Signal mechanisms - crypto, satellite and others. In tactical warfare, Signal mechanisms are used for communication within the battalions at battle front and Commanders at the Headquarters. They are mainly classified. Media propaganda is public. The intention of information sent through Signal Mechanisms is different from propaganda on CNN, Aljazeera, X, Facebook and other Print, Electronics and Social Media.

If there is a Media blockage of the protest as requested by the military , then let the protesters send cryptic information through satellite phones and unencrypted information through their private blogs. They can even send information that all the streets and markets in Lagos have been blocked by protesters.

The protesters in other States are being propelled by the propaganda been released every morning from Lagos. It also awake the consciousness of protesters to mobilize at Ojota. Private communication can never achieve this.

Please believe what you want but don’t misquote me. You are not being different from those on propaganda. I told you about coordination and if Mr. President have not goofed high on his national address I bet the protest could have been resolved. Wait until coordination is broken. Disinformation and misinformation is different from coordination. I don’t know why this is hard to understand. The theme of the protest is still the same. This is possible Becuase everything is happening in agreement.

Thanks. I was in the Banking Hall at Ojota otherwise, I would have replied you immediately. You are the one speaking grammar and also interpreting it . You brought Time Factor. You brought Misinformation and Coordination. Today, You brought Misinformation and Disinformation.

The INTENTION of media misinformation is Disinformation to awake the CONSCIOUSNESS of lazy protesters and miscreants that Protest is ongoing as at the time the information was posted very early in the morning and the one that was posted at 8.31 a.m on Saturday. gofundme and local Financial support from failed politicians and support from International Donor Organization on Good Governance Project are at work I know this based on experience and exposure. I will bring you the meaning of Misinformation and Disinformation from two perspectives.

Misinformation is false or inaccurate information—getting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information which is deliberately intended to mislead—intentionally misstating the facts.
The spread of misinformation and disinformation has affected our ability to improve public health, address climate change, maintain a stable democracy, and more.

American Psychological Association

What is disinformation?
Disinformation means “false information, as about a country’s military strength or plans, disseminated by a government or intelligence agency in a hostile act of tactical political subversion.” It is also used more generally to mean “deliberately misleading or biased information; manipulated narrative or facts; propaganda.”
Misinformation is “false information that is spread, regardless of intent to mislead.”

Dictionary.com

Tomorrow, by 6.00a.m, they should post Day 6 at Ojota to awake boys to mobilize again . The INTENTION of media misinformation is Disinformation to awake the CONSCIOUSNESS of lazy protesters and miscreants.

Maybe they should ask Peter Obi for advice on how to protest effectively since he seems to have mastered the art of doing nothing.

You posted the above around 5.45a.m . I believed you are aware at Ojota yesterday Sunday 4th August there is nothing like what was posted by the OP on the Firstpage. It is just mere propaganda. On Saturday, the same thing happened when they posted day 3 of riot at Ojota at 8.30a.m when nothing at all smilar to the picture ever took place. I observed Special adviser to the President on Social Media and especially Special adviser to Lagos Sate Governor on Social media are working wih the Social media or are being fed wrong information by their boys.

One funny Nairalander, AlexBells was telling me media coverage should not be banned as requested by the military. He said they used media for coordination , he gave example of coordination between Lagos and Borno. He said I was mistakng misinformation with coordination I agreed with his folly to discharge him. What is propaganda? what is misinformation? You are coordinating based on false information to keep the morale of the protesters in other States alive. You are boosting morale with Propaganda. During Biafra war, thousands of peope were dying, yet they were sending information that Murtala and entire soldiers have been killed at Asaba, they said Obasanjo and the entire 3rd Marine Commando have been wasted along Bonny creeks to keep the morale of dying people and soldiers alive at last it was propaganda.

I know there are so much money available to be shared among Social media platforms and some media. The fact remains that they can only deceive themselves but they cannot deceive people at Joints drinking within that viscinity and those around. They released propaganda early in the morning to wakeup the consciousness of lazy jobless protesters and social media miscreant who would not think that such event can never happen at that time

You just wrote nonsense in a long and meaningless epistle. Just face it the unification and subsidy removal without planning was the main blunder that did Tinubu dirty. Try and be sensible.

You are a crude uncivilized Onitsha main market trader. I spent 6 years in the University in IBO land several years ago, I know your reasoning lacks intellect. What happens to the economy in Ghana and other Africa countries undergoing economic impact assessment and realignment? You talk about unification of multiple foreign exchange regime, if I buy dollar at 450 naira to import fuel and essential commodities from loans taken to defend naira and majority find its way to trade in the black market at 700 naira to 1 dollar while the imported fuel is still subsidized in a depressed economy, how do you move forward. How do you service your debt and meet commitment to creditors on matured facilities gazetted to the new regime? Where is the money to pay the subsidy at zero budget and 97% of total revenue budgeted to service debt.

This is the reason Alumni Association of Federal Universities in the South East is very weak. Your reasoning doesn't make non indigene to ever want to unite.

Obasanjo paid debt and leave money in the reserve after economic revitalization. Within 14 months, Tinubu fulfilled obligation to the tune of $5billion dollars. No government in Africa can do that. It can only be Yorubas - high intellect and resilience. It is this sophistication and high cerebral power that made them to prevent ABIOLA from ruling.

Bros you are defending a lost cause. Subsidy is normally practiced in developed societies in so many form. The issue here is Nigeria is organised stealing in the name of subsidy. Nothing stop Tinubu if he is sincere in auditing the subsidy regime and plugging loopholes, shebi he is a first class accounting graduate as you people touted. Also it is worthy to note that they have since reintroduced subsidy via the backdoor, but due to the double whammy of unification of exchange rate he is paying double what he should have paid before in subsidy.
When a policy is wrong there is no harm reversing it following civil unrest. There's nothing presidential in Tinubu's decision, it is just sheer arrogance and rhe fact that he doesn't regard the poor(yorubas inclusive).

You are a crude uncivilized Onitsha main market trader or Ariara trader. It will be a wastage of time to educate you. Already, you have failed woefully and you will continue to fail. Your brother is a nobody as far as Nigeria is concerned and Atiku that you rely upon would be consumed if he wants to fight dirty.

You are talking about unification of multiple exchange rate as a crude uncivilized illiterate Alaba trader. When oil sell between $1.2 to $1.3 in neighbouring countries with Refineries and crude oil and in some neighbouring countries without crude oil you expect Nigeria to take loans to sell dollar at unsustainable (subsized rate) to importers while large chunks of the money finds its way to unofficial market and sold at another rate. Nigeria is still expected to give subsidy on Fuel bought with Dollars bought at subsidized rate from government. This is beyond you. Who will pay the money borrowed to defend Dollar? Who will pay the loans taken to pay the subsidy? You said subsidy is back, yes, I believe because of the landing cost of PMS, but which companies are collecting the subsidy unlike the previous bazaar? In the time past, NNPCL settled subsidy in Trillions of Naira and there is still outstanding huge subsidy debts which Tinubu inherited. I think NNPC and CBN are working together to make Nigerians the beneficiaries of the subsidy rather than rent seekers.

Tinubu administration fulfilled obligation to an inherited commitment of $5billion just about 14 months in power, no government in Africa can meet that obligation with the failed economic situation Tinubu met .

My stand is that the Yoruba elites should study the situation and I am very sure they are doing that already. Obasanjo and other elders should also study the situation. Obasanjo came in May 29, 1999 and met a dying economy with $5.5 billion in Foreign reserve. He left in 2007 with $50 billion in Foreign reserve and about $10 billion in different investment everything totalling almost $60 billion. He paid debts.

In Yaradua / Jonathan government we all witnessed how Nigeria made the highest revenue in the history of Africa with oil selling above $120 per barrel and output of almost 2 million barrel per day. The same government spent everything and borrowed heavily and spent over $25 billion out of the reserve Obj left . The greatest robbery in the history of Africa.

The Buhari regime came used loans to execute most of the inherited and new projects pushing subsidy removal and debt servicing of about 97% of total revenue to the incoming government. There is new currency crisis and cashless economy crisis awaiting the new government. The economy was in comatose. You have money in Bank which you cannot spend.

Tinubu government has performed creditably well considering situation on ground and global economic challenges.

The South West elites and elders must analyze the Nigeria situation and work together.

I'm the happiest person on earth because the South easterners refused to join in this protest. It's not as if they are not feeling or partaking in the national hunger and hardship but simply to avoid being tagged as a region that overthrow the Yoruba government of Tinubu.

Who are the majority in Abuja Protest?

Primate Ayodele should have more faith in our president. Tinubu is a man of action, and I believe he will turn things around for us. Let's give him the chance to prove the doubters wrong!

Who is Primate Ayodele that you are pleading with him to have faith in President Tinubu? Or are you one of his online disciples? This is a man that has continually given a failed prophecy. His prophecies against Tinubu right from 1999 when Tinubu was a governor always failed woefully. All the Prophecies he gave in 8 years of Tinubu governorship failed woefully. All the Prophecies he has given since 2022 failed woefully. The Court of Saints and Angels work contrary to his prophecies.

The protest is not restricted to where the government wants

The protest in Lagos is only serious on nairaland and on other Social Media. It was the day 3 (Saturday) that exposed everything. This is the reason the military is calling for media blackout of the protest. What you have on Social Media is just propaganda.

The purpose of propaganda is to instigate crisis in other States. Propaganda made BIAFRA war to last longer than necessary and made so many innocent people to die.

Journalists who covered the protest in which States? Hope South West is not included?

What was posted on nairaland as Day3 protest in Lagos at 8.31a.m this morning was not the situation there.

It doesn’t matter where you have worked, Tinubu as well is a chattered accountant in one of the reputable firm in the industry so he says, I don’t even buy that now when we say coordination it is not about posting a video of the protest but that the theme remains the same.

The protest is about hunger everywhere so Mr. President is expected to address just hunger. Now if you remove coordination, the protest may splinter and instead of hunger you could see that the theme somewhere else could turn to secession while in another it could turn to police brutality.

Stop mistaking misinformation as coordination. Misinformation is something that isn’t even about the military, military can’t stop it even other countries use propaganda so if the protesters use propaganda it is different from coordination.

Coordination is protesters in Lagos want same thing as protesters in Borno these are things like end hunger, end subsidy, reopen border. When you remove coordination and limit information flow the theme might change elsewhere thereby complicating situation.

Thanks for your correction. I am taking misinformation for coordination.

Then what happens to hunger when military stops protest?
Bought half carton of Golden penny noodles goat meat pepper soup 30th of June for 2750naira and bought same last month July for 3200 naira and u want us to stop protest ,its like u haven't gone to the market for a while now,
Let alone tinubu who doesn't buy anything with his money but from our tax

Thanks for your information, God will give you power to get wealth, Amen. Please, while protesting don't stop people from going about to find what to eat. Don't block roads. Don't stop people from celebration and don't stop those going to Night clubs. God bless you.

It is good that this marriage ceremony took place without disturbances.

You are entirely dismissing the “time factor” that this event is already in progress and if the situation can be addressed it will need to circulate. You are exonerating Leadership
That’s what you don’t get. The protest has one theme at the moment. If the theme splinters it means even if it is fixed in one place it can continue in another that’s what will happens if you distort information flow.

Tinubu is always steps backwards. Perhaps the measures was taken days before the protest then it could have taken off the coordination and weaken the link now you have mammoth crowd in places that assembles as early as 6 in the morning it is a bit out of time to break the coordination.

You can’t say there’s no coordination because if there’s none then there’s no need to break the flow. Beyond media is social media. If they take out internet network entirely then banks and even the military itself will crumble, it will just paint a picture of semester cover up which could trigger a mass unpredictability.

I have no time to waste with you. I have understanding of how CSO works in developing nations having worked with a major International Global Donor Organization and I managed Non State Actors. You mentioned "Time Factor". I am talking about Media Propaganda. Today is Mountain of Fire and Miracles Power Must Change Hands. We have people coming to Mowe and Redemption Camp, we have people going to sites in Lagos Island this morning from 6.30a.m to 9a.m . In Military operations, time is very important. In information management, time is of utmost importance, otherwise, it becomes propaganda. As at 8.31 a.m when the information of Day 3 protest in Lagos was posted on nairaland, nothing like the pictures posted on ground. I was around that place. What is the purpose of that picture? To instigate other protesters in other States. Is that coordination?

For an information to be posted on nairaland at 8.31 a.m

https://www.nairaland.com/8173869/day-3-lagos-protesters-outside

It means those people protesting were fully mobilized by 8.00a.m or 7.45a.m but up till 9a.m I was wondering where the pictures were gotten. If I try to post, a nairaland moderator will suspend the account as usual. We were just observing. You talk about coordination, Ebun Adegboruwa has called his team. Who is coordinating the protesters? Who is funding the media propaganda?

If the military wants to act they will act.

In abuja to do what?

Marriage was going on Thursday and Friday while protesters burned down some places in Kano and some people were creating nuisances at Abuja.

Also, in Lagos, night clubs were very busy to the extent LASEPA had to seal Quilox .

The military is very correct for calling for the stoppage of the protest.

The military should not compound the problem. Limiting the flow of information could also slow positive information which could bring a situation of prolonged protest or even things going out of control. The protest is currently coordinated. Removing connection may spiral the protest out of coordination and result in protest splinters.

The military is very right. The event is not coordinated . The media coverage is full of propaganda and this has a chain effect and instigated impact on protest going on in other States.

For example on page 1 of the link posted on Day 3 of protest in Lagos posted on nairaland at 8.31a.m in the morning.

https://www.nairaland.com/8173869/day-3-lagos-protesters-outside

If you are around Ketu / Ojota axis or coming from Ikorodu to Lagos Mainland or Island, you will observe that the picture posted is not the same thing with the situation on ground as at 8.30 or 9a.m. What is the purpose of posting what happened 2 days ago or what happened somewhere as current situation of event at 8.31a.m.

If you react to challenge the information as falsehood immediately, nairaland moderator will ban or suspend the account.

Media coverage caused the damages in the Northern States.

They were less than 1000 at Ojota yesterday

God bless Yorubaland and God bless Nigeria

It is so good our people now understand the Game being played against them to destroy Lagos and rewrite their History

Are you at Ojota at all, are they even up to 100 this morning? Moreover, since Adegboruwa has urged them to stop, the leaders of the groups must come to show face.
