Chinkoalhaji34:

All this wahala go just turn to another level of hardship, na so e dey always be.

Wetin go change? Nothing! Instead of protest, make we dey find solution wey go fit help everybody.

Oyo residents need to focus on how to survive this tough time, not join for protest wey no go carry dem anywhere.

Lead the solution group to aso rock pls
Or put it on a letter and send to the president

LandMann:
The useless oro worshippers should come out and test the will of hungry and hopeless masses.

Let Oro come out naaa!! Oba will tell us what to do in Nigeria ? Oba that collect isakole

tishbite42:

Nasarawa protest is gone violence

Salewa97:
These protests won't change anything. People dey shout for street, but the government no go hear their cry.

Na only noise dem sabi make. If hunger no fit teach us sense, wetin else go fit? Yobe residents need to wake up; protest no go fill their stomachs. Just another day of empty noise.

Stop making noise on nairaland!! Since you are born what av u achieved but criticizing ppl who mean well

Nigerians will forever distrust government and their mandates!

The arrogance the president displays on citizens s concern before the protest opinion is very upsetting! Rather than approach the matter with humility he was busy arming dissenters! Ppl will stay at home because you have threatened them both protesters and non protesters !!!

You can't solve their problem you keep compounding it with incessant incompetence and tact!

Tinubu seriously is a big disappointment! We supported you to reshape the economy rather you turn it into family and friends affairs and keep bragging to Atiku and obi as if they are the only Nigerians !!!

Please oga! You av been been bushed

Salewa97:
Nigerians and their protest wahala.

See as everywhere dey lock up because of small hardship. Instead of people to reason and strategize, they just want to go on the streets and disturb the peace.

Eateries and banks now suffering because of this senseless protest. What do they think they will achieve? Just adding more fuel to the fire of hardship.

This is not the time for protests; it’s time for solutions. But no, our people would rather shout and destroy instead of sitting down to plan how to navigate this difficult period. Na so dem go dey lock everywhere down.

Honestly, this protest is just another distraction, and the government will just sit back and watch as the noise continues. Who is really benefitting from all this chaos? Not the average Nigerian, that’s for sure.

You have no idea how civil disobedience works and protest, it is not when u see placards and ppl marching that is called protest! In this case what is the president presiding over when both private and public machineries and institutions are shut down by actions and inactions ?

You can't call yourself a married man without having kids and wife.... Can you ?

Learn from elders and stop flaunting your ignorance in public

Location of protest centre for oshodi isolo axis abeg

Oba ! Pls sho told u there is going to be violence? Pls face your calling let Nigerians speak to the people that they voted for!

Nobody voted you and you are not representing any Nigerian

MasterJayJay:
Na true na. The politicians are using our money to spend on ashawo.

That climate change conference they went in UAE is an example.

U nor know, they can't last 3secs but can send 3mill to a LovePeddler just to rub their head! This has been their way

These one nor dey ever get sense, na them dey suffer pass o! They don't eat good food, their kids are in dirty public schools and hardly get to tertiary level !

Yet they will daddy gun and attracting curses on themselves saying govt is God! Guys check out all these police and forces family, radarada is never far from them !

They keep deceiving themselves, the politicians sending them are protected by charms and money

The couples actually needed a child and of course rich enough to takia of the child but this is the wrong way to get a child!

They are even trying to name the child, crime with good Intentions! They should av adopted or speak with a woman to surrogate for them

If you av 2m u can approach poor women to help you u instead of this !! We need education here

MasterJayJay:
Paid babablurians.

Scanty!!

I thought you clowns were against protest. But you are now protesting against another protest. What a confused babablu bulabu.

Eleribu ni won! Pot calling kettle black

All planned !! No worries... This express una dey go, na trailer go jam una

Salewa97:
So blocking roads is now the solution?

Instead of finding real ways to address hardship, they just want to create more chaos.

Typical Nigeria, where noise replaces substance.

Sophisticated boy, walk into the Senate or join them at FEC to address the issues pls!!

This idiot will end up with 1k in his acct after we finish and inherit the new Nigeria!!

When we speak and fight for a common cause this guy will come to say he wants make we come his show?!!! His gate fee will be 300 naira

U guys grab power from Jonathan with deceit and lies!! Now that you have it, you burn down the country with insecurity and hunger.... So wat is left for protesters to burn?

Tell us another gist man!!! Do u pay for transport, do u pay electricity bill, do you go to the market to buy foodstuff, do you buy gas?

You are living on Nigeria and our common wealth, how dare you tell us what we know ?!!!

We have younger ppl who are more intelligent than you!! You are there because you play politics not because you know anything better than anyone

Tinubu u are wasting your time

otherway:
Lol!

Tinubu mean well for Nigeria and that was why he hijacked the election to become president by force.

Unfortunately, he does not have the quality of a leader.

He is arrogant and extremely proud, he listens to nobody and he probably thought he can run Nigeria like a cartel.

Kofoworola Burknor, ogbeni Rauf have all made this known.

How can you foolishly removed subsidy in one swoop and more ridiculous is the fact that there was no where in the speech that he read it.

Was it dementia that affected him cos he was against Jonathan removing subsidy in one swoop.

But as soon as he got sworn in, he did exactly what he advised Jonathan against in 2012


Now Read Tinubu's very own words to Jonathan in 2012.

11 January, 2012

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.

He, however, provided a window out of the crisis:

if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.

“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes.

,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.

“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”*

But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.

“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour.

The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”
But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.

“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office.

The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities.

People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken

“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”

Iyaloja if you are reading this just know that your father has destroyed Nigeria with his oversabi attitude.

I'm sure mummy can not even correct him cos he believes he is all knowing.

Your father has destroyed Nigeria by doing exactly what he advised against

You are in Aso Rock enjoying and eating quality food and you have the temerity to advise people who are using water melon, cucumber to make stew.

Im trying not to use offensive words on you.

And for the records, I'm not igbo. Omo yoruba gidi ni mi.


The worst part of it all is that the same subsidy he hurriedly removed is now back and bigger cos the FG is still paying subsidy and that is why petrol price has not risen higher than it is presently.

This is the consequence of irrational decision making.

ITK na em kill this man president!!!

So na she wan stop us ?...Let's see

He's running around sponsoring campaigns against peaceful protest and adjudging it to be violent..... Strangling fuel supplies and blocking access to internet and banking apps!

And you still professing freedom to protest !! The insincerity in every Nigerian government is inherent and inherited ..... This present one is a big disappointment! For an educated westerner who once administer the most sophisticated state in sub Sahara west Africa and yet keeps making and leaping without looking!!

Yes it is hard to rule and please everyone but is it hard to make food available? If we are well fed we will defend ourselves !

But you make everything disappear within 1tear of your office and awarding bogus and flamboyant lifestyle for your friends !!

Oga we will protest

Salewa97:
Nigerians have the right to express themselves, no doubt about that. But let's not forget, Tinubu's government is all about maintaining peace and order. Protests can be a double-edged sword, and we need to ensure it doesn't turn chaotic. It’s important to engage in constructive dialogue instead of just gathering to shout. Tinubu is focused on progress, and that’s what we should be rallying behind. We need unity, not division.

You are speaking from both sides of your mouth! You have no honor

Ppogbae:
Were they in a pickup/technical? Those things are moving coffins nowadays. There's a reason why the US Army created the humvee. Every Nigerian soldier needs to be transported in an amounted personal carrier/MRAP/infantry fighting vehicle. Nothing less.

Leave them naa, let me tell u, Nigerian army is only active in civilian confrontation! How can personnel be rushing to an active combat zone to repel and attack without humvee or minesweeper?

For their mind hilux na helicopter! Do u know that each deployment of squad in the US army has air cover and recon to let them know where and what they are facing and going!

U need to see how soldiers rush here on foot!! Very poor excuse for soldiering! Their equipment is zero unless they are showing power on civilian

efighter:
Anybody wey wan commit suicide and doesn’t want to be buried after the suicide should troop to the streets in the name of protest

Death threat is a serious crime worse than protest

Your write up is a protest ! Albeit you want others not to ?

You are a poor excuse for a mouthpiece

phemmie06:
The summary of all these allegations is.
He wasn't the choice of the school management.
The power that be kicked him out of office

My own opinion with the few lines I read

absolutely I read the gibberish and dull allegations I just laughed at the stupidity of whoever impeached him!

Obviously the piper don't want to be paid to play his tune! .... And these set of hoodlums will one day claim to fight bad governance when at their level they are been sponsored to usurp power! Look at the nonsensical reasons for impeachment and am sure it will be one kangaroo lawyer that wrote this

Nigeria military are there for the money! Unemployment and need to oppress is one of the core reason of joining the AF

Just pray u won't need their protection cos that dag u will understand that they are paper tigers

Phone bug or the line is been monitored ! That's a big move cos telecoms won't release phone conversation without a court warrant, even if there is , a case must be established

EyeCumInPeace:
Una do well.
Apply same tactics against Bandits in the North.

Bandits is guerilla warfare, this is urban warfare... It's 2 different tactics

Tealcrestmedia:
It's sad that instead of addressing the legitimate concerns of the suffering masses, they are threatening people with death and arrest if they protest.

We should only be clamoring for a peaceful protest instead of trying to bottle aggrieved citizens up.

If people can't protest the hardships they're faced with, what do you propose they do?

The dimensions the protest will take may end Nigeria elites career in politics

PresidObi:
Thank you UN, but these guys have ear problems.

We have been warning them o, they wont hear till they employ some jobless park touts to burn their old houses then turn around and look for who to pin it on.

Go and protest in your home states of Osun, Ondo, Oyo and Ogun states. We will check ID cards, if you're not from Lagos, we won't allow you join the protests. Just as many people were not allowed to vote in Lagos, they should not also join protests.

For the Ss and Se, you know that you have no dog in this fight, don't go and dance to a music you don't know who is beating the drums. Hardship dey, but dont enter prison because of a planned protest that has been placed as a trap for you.

Who are you? Come to Yaba alagomeji on the 1st of August to check ID cards!

I will be waiting for you
