Condemned the actions of the governor, which is politically motivated. If they have been in good terms, will be sealed it. Jobs are about to be lost.

Right, the Governor is dealing with his perceived political enemies, although in this case, Nwanosike admitted he violated the law.
But as a citizen, I'm more concerned with good governance than taking sides in their fight.

How much is the salary of LG chairman that he can build such big hotel? Obviously built with looted funds.

One of the vital keys for good governance is to block all loopholes for looting by public officials.
Until this is down, Good Governance remains a pipe-dream.

Omokri the unstable clown 🤡

The level of hunger and hardship was not even up to this under GEJ before protests erupted.
So anybody saying Nigerians should not protest is simply being hypocritical and unreasonable.

Where is Omokri 🤡 in all these.

Well, it's the job of police to deal with any potential violence.
You can't because of fear of violence, deny people their fundamental rights to protest.

Better still, Tinubu can do the needful and avert the protests.

This would have been the sensible thing to do in any sane clime.
But then Nigeria is not a sane clime.
Even if they attempt to do an audit, it will all end in a media charade with nobody held accountable at the end of the day.

Nigeria I hail thee. 🫡

Their grievances are justified. There is so much wealth coming out of those oil-producing communities with little or nothing to show for it.

If not that they're in the minority, there would have been strong agitations for secession.

The protests will likely escalate out of control. Reason being that there is widespread hunger in the land. And we all know that a hungry man is an angry man.

But then protest is fundamental right of a citizen.
So the option left for Tinubu is to urgently address the issue of hunger & hardship in the land.

Hungry Nigerians want to see immediate results of his actions not audio promises.

Are we even supposed to be celebrating this minimum wage?

It's like giving Panadol to someone with malaria, at best it temporarily takes care of the headache symptom, but not the malaria.

Unless something drastic is done about the rising inflation and the attendant hunger and hardship, there will soon be another renewed agitations for new minimum wage.

Honestly, some top shots need to go to jail for sanity to return to this country.

So much irregularities and sharp practices in the sector. Not what a meeting can just solve.

stacyadams:

Fix power supply,no body will be bothered about fuelling gen
Stop multiple taxation
Put friendly polices to bring back investors (job creation)




Even a jss 3 student understands what needs to be done ..no be rocket science..

These are the issues not inviting some vague "Leaders of Protest" for address.

lexy2014:
if you say "Meeting with the so called leaders of protest will just be to "settle" them", how is it different from what I said?

what do you think transpired behind the scenes during "The NLC meeting to simply agree on minimum wage for organised labor"?

if you know that "Meeting with the so called leaders of protest will just be to "settle" them", what do think NLC was fighting for when they were negotiating for minimum wage?

how do you drop your demand from 250k to 70k?

why do you think that the NLC always threatened strike on several occasions, were invited by tinubu to be "addressed", then all of a sudden they suspend the strike after being 'addressed"?

why do you think the NLC went on strike for minimum wage and called it off after 24hours without achieving anything with the flimsy excuse that they called off the strike to enable them negotiate?

Let me ask you. What do you think is the solution to the hunger and hardship millions of Nigerians are currently suffering?

You think the solution lies in inviting some vague "leaders of protests" for address.

lexy2014:
NLC knows that they are saying. It's you that does not understand. It's the same way NLC always made noise about strike and minimum wage. With each noise, they got invitation and Tinubu "addressed" their grievances. In the end, they called if the strikes and settled for 70k.

They expect that the protest issue should be resolved the same way. They might also be invited

Meeting with the so called leaders of protest will just be to "settle" them. It will not in anyway address the hunger and hardship millions of Nigerians are suffering.

The NLC meeting was simply to agree on minimum wage for organised labor. That's a completely different scenario.

They protested, but are afraid of protests. Lol!

At the rate we are going, ₦50 note will soon become worthless like ₦10.

The invitation is needless.
Which address do you want to give to a hungry man?

His mandate is clear - reduce the current hardship and make life more bearable for Nigerians.

This protest would for sure go ahead if Tinubu was from any other region aside North and SW.

Funny Country.

Replace Nepotism/Quota System with Merit/Excellence, and watch Igbo's take driving seat in most sectors of this country. 👍

helinues:
Are those in other regions planning to also have a destructive protest, if the answer is yes, what are their indigenes doing to avert it?

You are still assenting to my point that people's allegiance is to their regions or ethnic Nationalities.

Even SE that declared they would not be part of the protests; it's not because they are satisfied with the Govt of the day, but because they don't want to be unduly victimised and used as scapegoat.

helinues:
Is it now a crime for the indigenes of a region to defend their territory from miscreants?

Let those who want to die for the country to go and do so in whichever regions they come from.

Why is that too hard to comprehend.

You missed the point. Never said it's a crime.

Point is Nigeria is not a Nation. We are better off existing as our different Ethnic Nationalities. That's where our allegiance lie.

You are OK if there are protests and mayhem in other regions provided it does not affect your region.

Another evidence that Nigeria is not a Nation but a forced Geographical Contraption of diverse ethnic Nationalities that are not ready to unite and function as one.

People are not ready to die for and defend Nigeria but are ready to die for and defend their ethnic Nationalities.

People are OK if there are protests and mayhem in other regions provided their regions are not affected.

Even the President has this same mentality.
What a country!

Tinubu never believed in One Nigeria, so he would be happy for the entire country to burn down provided it doesn't get to SW.

What a tribalistic leader!

Tinubu's strategy so far has been to tax Nigerians to poverty and use the proceeds to settle his goons.

Na Statistics we go Chop.

Abeg don't disturb us with all these statistics that have no impact on improving the living conditions of the average Nigerian.
