Be strong…train harder.

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.

NOC is an institution.

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.

Ttalk:
OP stop tagging press statement by some few people in the north as protest.

Know different between agitation, protest and riot.

Testing to see if the account is now working. The account is always under suspension during critical period/moment. Those calling my attention should understand that all the channels are suspended by moderator to enable the protesters and anti government propaganda and messages have upper hand.

Thanks.

I'm more Yoruba than you Fulani herdsman from Jalingo.

At Ibadan, this year, I have seen IBOs using Yoruba names to register for NIN. I have posted it on nairaland. In 2007, at Abuja, I have seen IBOs with Nigerian International Passports with Yoruba names applying for UK Visa. They are many.

About 90% of regular Yoruba names on nairaland are non Yorubas.

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.

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.

AlexBells:
If there’s one thing anyone can deduce from this worthless mention it means that the military’s media control failed. Wasn’t an ait workers leg broken while being prevented from coverage? 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.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Toh

Another day, another protest. When will these youths learn?

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

Joshchi19:
Tribalism is evil and enemy of progress. I was waiting to see you give little analysis of the present administration but you didn't. What performance are you talking about? There is always a better way to do things than sweep the enter nation into this nefarious scene because of trial and error policies . Those in power are busy lavishing and looting money, and the only thing you can do is to defend.

Defend Yaradua / Jonathan era looting of estimated $100 billion.

Believeintruth:
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.

blacknp:
Wole Soyinka has finally spoken, Obidients can rest now.

They are very happy now. They are very ungrateful. Imagine the way they insulted Doyin Okupe. When Baba Ayo Adebanjo reminded us how Awolowo was stoned at Aba in the 50s when they went for campaign, they abused him, they insulted him. Obi was nobody politically if not Doyin Okupe and Baba Ayo Adebanjo who supported him at the beginning.

Believeintruth:
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.

kaludestiny10:
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?

trutharena:
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.

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 .

Yankee101:
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.

BigBashiru:
It would havebeen great if journalists who covered the protest were allowed to ask him questions.

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.

AlexBells:
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.

ceejay80s:
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.

AlexBells:
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.

ceejay80s:
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.

AlexBells:
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.

Christistruth02:
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.

madridguy:
If you are a Yoruba reading this, remember if you join them to scatter your region, they will go back to their region and from there they will laughing at you.

Don't allow anyone to vandalize your state, guide it with all your life. Their target is Lagos, don't fall for their tricks. Before you act, remember the son of whom you are.

They have tried all possible ways to send foreign investors away from SW, please and please don't listen to them. They are only there to instigate you, cheer you up to take arms against your own people while they keep their own.

Use your head and reason with it.

All these are just media propaganda. I have always been around Ojota Ketu since I left Ibadan on Thursday afternoon. What is on ground is totally different from what is posted online. At the first page of this thread posted around 8.31a.m, at Ojota, even at 9 a.m, Gani Fawehinmi and the Ketu environ didn't have anything similar to the picture posted.

It is very unprofessional on the part of the people posting events on the first day or events somewhere as the 3rd day at Ojota to deceive themselves. What do they intend to achieve? An event posted by 8.31a.m on nairaland must have been fully mobilized by 8a.m . At 8.30 a m coming down through ABIOLA Garden you cannot find what was posted online.

magoo10:
They must be used as scape goats for committing treasonable offense.

Igbos should be the last people you ask to leave your region and everyone knows why.

They should first prosecute those who asked the IBOS to leave Northern States in 2017.

2. They should also prosecute the Northern Elders who advised Buhari to allow IBOs to leave Nigeria because of their nuisances.

Atiku and Obi are disappointed that the IBOS are caged and threatened in Lagos and cannot mobilize to create nuisances in Lagos. It was their frustration of being caged in Lagos that led to the nuisances of August 1 at Eagle Square and at nearby Federal Secretariat. They know if IBOS had been allowed to protest in Lagos and instigate riots the damages would have been very enormous. They are disappointed Lagos and South West is peaceful and the North has woken up to reality.

All the Ebi npawa cry in Lagos and South West is instigated by the IBOS. Once they are properly caged, all the noise would stop.

Racoon:
Their hatred, bigotry, resentment and skewed narrative against the igbo man have been their morbid fear, dread and obsession from antiquity.

Imagine the voltrics of the likes of Bayo Onanuga, MC Oluomo, efulefu Joe Igbokwe, Lauretta Onochie, and all the mummified zombie miscreants in desperately trying in futility to turn the #endbadgovernanceinNigeria protests as an Igbo affair?

Racoon, you are a nonentity as far as politics is concerned and always writing uniformed primitive propaganda on nairaland.

The lBOs instigated the North into protest which ultimately led to riots . The protest in Northern States is driven by the protest in Abuja. Whatever happened in the Northern States is instigated by the IBOs orchestrated protest and nuisances at Abuja.

IBOS created the nuisances at Abuja Eagle Square and at nearby Federal Secretariat on August 1. Who are the majority in FCT and nearby Satellite towns / villages in Niger and Nasarawa States ? That is why they are clamoring that to win Presidential election you must win one-third of the total votes in FCT.

After Lagos, Abuja and environ is the place that has IBO majority in Nigeria. They are majority in FCT up to Suleja in Niger State and Mararaba and beyond up to Keffi in Nasarawa State. Their coordination and social media mobilizations worked in Abuja. Atiku and Obi are disappointed that the IBOS are caged and threatened in Lagos and cannot mobilize to create nuisances in Lagos.

Abuja had never had this type of protest, the little intensive protest Abuja had was during Obasanjo because Oshiomhole led NLC executive to Aso Rock. All the major national political protest and civil unrest from the time of Pa Michael Imodu happened majorly in Lagos and South West.

If IBOs had been allowed to instigate protest in Lagos, many South West States would have been burned down.

All the Ebi npawa cry are IBO instigated cry. I have posted some weeks ago how some IBOs registered on NIN using Yoruba names. Some even have International Passports with Yoruba names to camouflage and cause problems.

Sunday Igboho has spoken about 5 days ago that his group is against Protest in Yoruba land.

I will write open letter to Bayo Onanuga and IGP to investigate a CSO led by a lady with hired scanty protesters at Ibadan yesterday. One of the placards had " End Democracy Now" another had "Declare State of Emergency". They want to end democracy and invite Military to declare State of Emergency. They are too small. DSS should investigate them.

TOPCRUISE:
See now. Those who say the protests will fail are biting their fingers

They are not biting their fingers because the protest went as expected. During Buhari 's eight years in office the protest was only active in Lagos and South West. During Jonathan era, the protest of Save Nigeria Group in 2010 and the Fuel Subsidy protest of 2012 were majorly active in Lagos and South West.

In Sokoto, during Buhari regime, Bishop Kukah the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese was threatened with death for preaching against Buhari despite Sokoto being a PDP state. Today, we are grateful the Sultan and the Sultan palace felt the protest. We can see protest in few other Northern States as planned and sponsored by the Cabals.

The last time protest was a little bit felt in Abuja was during Obasanjo because Oshiomhole led NLC executive to protest in Aso Rock for discussion.

So, the protest went as predicted.

Nigerians actually thought this hunger problems is limited to Nigeria alone!

It is not only in Nigeria, Ghana polity is also charged just like many African countries, the difference in Nigeria is our population and born to rule mentality of some people and those who never wanted to be part of Nigeria.

In Ghana, Sentuo Oil Refinery, a 5 million metric tonnes per annum Petroleum Refinery cost $1.9billion. Yet Ghanaians are complaining. In Nigeria the same Refinery will cost around $10 billion or $15billion and the promoters will now get loans from consortium of banks to finance other project and get Federal Government support in different ways amounting to over $5billion dollars. At the end, indirectly, it will be the government that fund almost 80% of the project indirectly. Already, I told some Ghanaians this fact on a Social Media platform. This is possible in Nigeria because of Ethnic complicity and some very weak nationalities within Nigeria looking for alignment with a major Nationality for survival. This is not possible in Ghana.

Either ways, the government should not disgrace any Nigerian participant representing the country.

Good luck girl!
Hope she will win a medal

The Minister statement is political. I believed they know the reason she was denied participation in Tokyo in 2022 and now in Paris in 2024.

Tonobok Okowa is the Athletic Federation of Nigeria President and also the President of Africa Athletics Region II. He is a man of integrity. All the names mentioned by the Minister, I didn't see Tonobok Okowa, except he is no longer there which I doubt. Why would an athlete been having problems out of several athletes and it is happening the second time.

Online miscreants attributed her ordeal to tribal hatred playing the usual victim card. In Tokyo in 2022 and now Paris in 2024, I cannot see the ethnic and tribal angle the online miscreants are bringing out.

RepoMan007:
Why didn't they demand these under Buhari govt?

Oil money is not so much anymore.

Where were they during Buhari regime? Where were they during end SARS riot? The protesters should carry on in Kaduna.
