The impersonators are not even interested in resting .

They careless about the happenings in their region but have been carrying events in other regions for head like gala

Eish

Very obvious.

The many Tundes and Harunas doing what they do best.

COFFINSELLER:
Tinubu is killing our people - Northerners vow vengeance

Many of them are Igbos like yourself.

We all know who spell Yoruba as they like.

If Tinubu can successfully get away with the subsidy removal, all past Presidents of Nigeria and top presidential candidates who campaigned to also remove subsidy, would accord him their respect for succeeding where they had failed.

The question is would he get away with it?

This is a straight battle between the economy of Nigeria and the people of Nigeria.

You are asking a people that talk too much to keep quiet?

I think your real intention is to stop the civilized embarrassment that a much smarter and informed Reno Omokri inflicts on those who throng his page in hopes that they can outsmart him with their persecution complex.


The way Reno Omokri disposes of his haters with factual information, is enough reason to call an August meeting to forestall further tribal embarrassment.

NaijaCrusader:
Secondly

I hope you will vote Sowore as you have seconded his manifesto?

Or how do you explain that over 22million Nigerians voted for Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi, all of whom promised to remove oil subsidy?

Meanwhile, the candidate who promised not to remove oil subsidy only got over 14,000 votes in all of Nigeria.

madridguy:
The disciples of the chief lying machine will cry tire today
So the Agulu master has finally wake from his sleep.

After many lies, Obi finally said the truth.

What will Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie now write to the US President?

Will she write to withdraw her previous letter begging America not to recognise Tinubu, just because her tribesman did not win the election and mandate?

canalily:
This man please comot mouth for them... comot mouth for them you no de hear....
Siddon one place de watch all the drama but you de hear word 😯😯😯😯😯

This Obidient fit burst bottle for Obi head as this confession matter dey make am para.

Obi no dey hear word true true.

The problem here is very obvious.

This is the manifesto of Omoyele Sowore.

The same Sowore who was rejected by over 22m Nigerian voters that prefered Tinubu, and Atiku, and Obi. Meanwhile, Sowore only won 14,000 votes.

If the people of Nigeria want what Sowore is proposing, simply vote Sowore in the next election.

Very simple matter.

My appeal is for the President to come out and address the nation. He is the one elected by the people and holds their mandate. At such critical times, he should not rely on aides or appointees to communicate with the public

This was a big blow to Peter Obi's supporters who insist Tinubu didnt win the election.

A mandate thief appealing to the mandate holder.

Ddeliverer007:
What’s in my heart doesn’t matter.

I want to know why the north wants to destabilize the presidency of a Yoruba man. That’s what is of interest to me.

We have learnt to stop mincing words with your type.

We go straight to the origin of the pain and frustration, and add more pain to make the tears sweeter.

Ddeliverer007:
We are talking about why the north wants to destabilize the presidency of a Yoruba man. Where Igbo pass enter this matter??
Call north.. why are you afraid to type the word NORTH?? Hahaha

We are calling you who created a topic about what is in your own heart - your own secret tribal desire.

Or is protest a new thing in Nigeria?

Ola9ja23:
Igbos are ment to cry forever

Allow them to do their Job

Me, I dey enjoy their salty tears 🤪🤪🤪😁😁

Igbodients are not protesting but they are crying more than the protesters

Is that not madness of a loser 😁😁😁🤪🤪🤪

The election loss is the greatest disgrace they ever received, after vowing tirelessly that rather than a Yoruba win the Presidency, the North would be supported by Igbos to rule forever.

They are still so hurt that they could not punish Tinubu and Yorubas in 2023 as they vowed.

Failure is very painful.

An Igbo is crying.

Continue crying.

1000angstroms:
Chief hypocrite and god of double standards, speaking from different sides of the mouth, instead of agreeing that you guys are betrayals and treacherous pigs, you are explaining the vein that ran through your papa penis.

Tell your career criminal to allow people exercise their constitutional rights, when he did his, Jonathan didn't threaten any one.

Can you betray someone you do not owe any loyalty?

Obviously, the hypocrite is yourself who criticise those who protested against subsidy removal in the past, but have suddenly fallen in love with subsidy removal protest rights now and that is not considered treachery or betrayal.

More pain and agony fall on you.

But Oby Ezekwesili said protesters are winning?

OK, she meant those destroying and looting in Kano, while her own people are in their homes waiting to enjoy any victory achieved like they enjoyed with Ojota protest in 2012.

Northerners will "win their cities" to the delight of Oby who is resting at home.

LadyExcellency:
Tinubu only received 37.5% of total votes cast. He is a minority President.

Atiku and Obi even received less votes.

More Nigerians voted against and rejected Atike and Obi, more than they rejected President Tinubu.

That is why the President of Nigeria is President Tinubu, and not President Atiku or President Obi.

The surprise is that the protesters would still vote Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi.

They will still not vote the candidates who have promised not to remove oil subsidy. They will rather vote the ones who have embraced the subsidy removal policy, then come out to protest afterwards.

Showing that many do not understand that it is implemented policies that affect and determine the economic situation of the masses.

So who is to blame?

Poor quality of education or a refusal to comprehend issues as, they should be?

nairalanda1:
SO, are they impoverished to accept a deficit that eats our earnings and any other money we have just to sustain subsidy

You would like it if we end up that way, no money, and anarchy on the streets that would make these protests look like primary school children marching on children's day

See, if we kept petrol at N65 today, without the partial removals we have done, we would have been spending over 1000 per liter or something like, assuming a fuel consumption of 60 millon liters per day, 12 trillion naira a year.

That means about 12 trillion out of your budget will go on subsidy. How would the deficit be filled then?

And that would keep rising because of smuggling....so we could be seeing over 20 trillion out of your budget of 30 trillion going on subsidy

This is not about which side you support, APC or PDP, this is about how subsides encourage severe debt and issues that could affect our economy, and the poor.

I am pro subsidy removal only if you already ensure local refining capacity and uninterrupted electric power supply.

Even if the post subsidy removal fuel price goes up, a lot would not be so dependent on it like it is now when businesses and homes have to provide their own electricity with imported fuels.

gidgiddy:
But the same people, including you, no longer see the point of protesting when fuel is Iver N700 a litre?

I have never been a supporter of subsidy removal while local refining capacity is non existing and electricity is still a scarce commodity that Nigerians have to then provide themselves with the use of the same expensive fuel.

Funng enough, the 700 fuel of now is actually cheaper than the N140 fuel of the Jonathan regime.

With importation in dollars,
2012:
N140 = $88

2024:
N700 = $47


I have always understood why every government wants oil subsidy to go, considering the dollar saving and revenue shore up it would provide the government/country.

My recommendation has always been to ensure we produce crude oil beyond our OPEC quota, which we then sell that excess to local players in a local refining market, at a Naira price that will ensure the end products of the refining comes out at a price that Nigerians can afford.

In that scenario, the government has not lost a single dollar it is limited to earn by its OPEC quota, and likewise have not spent a single dollar that would have otherwise been spent importing fuel in dollars and subsidizing the cost.

A win-win for everyone.

nairalanda1:
It also made things worse and laid the foundation for the economic problems and debt we have now

The thing about subsidy is simple...it rises in proportion to the cost of production. Because all our petrol is produced abroad...the cost of producing it is very high, and that means that subsidising it would become more expensive.

If subsidy had been kept for fuel to be N65, by now subsidy costs would have gone up from N2 per liter as at January 2012, to N1100 per liter today.

It would have created a large hole in our budgets, meaning that the amount of loans we take would have risen, which means we would have had a debt eating up our revenue, the loans we take and any money we do not have right now.

GEJ was right in 2012 TO TRY TO do a total removal of subsidy. But you guys refused to see. Had he done so, we would have had fuel selling at very high prices, but we won't have a ragingly high debt of over 100 trillion naira and a naira that is falling madly vs the dollar as it is now.

But as Nigerians are proving now, just as they proved in 2012, they are too impoverished to accept a total removal of subsidy.

The N140 fuel price of Jonathan in 2012 after he removed subsidy on imported fuel, was almost $100 then.

gidgiddy:
They wanted fuel to stay at N65, they were protesting a N20 Naira increase, they wanted Jonathans head

Now under Jagaban, Fuel is 10 times that amount and the same people who protested against Jonathan are saying Jagaban is doing well

Get yourself informed.

They were protesting a total removal of subsidy which at that time already made fuel sell at a price of N140 per litre, and would have made same improted fuel sell at the prevaling price now.

It is a removal and of subsidy on imported fuel, so you must continue to buy at whatever is the prevailing price.

The 2012 protest achieved a reprieve for all Nigerians, including the ones who did not protest like their fellow country men, as the government had to return most of the subsidy with the fuel price adjusted downward from N140 to N87.

MrPOTUS:
I guess those protesting in borno also voted obi

Till when you people come to reality that hunger knows no religion or tribe, u will continue to delude yourselves.

The bitterness in that Obidient fellow is oozing like a skunk.

It is even good you mentioned the people of Borno.

A state that President Tinubu won.

Yet a bitter loser whose candidate did not even get any significant votes in the same Borno is saying someone is unwanted, yet he won Borno State?

Until you election losers overcome the agony of your defeat, you would realise that Nigerians protesting against government policies, does not mean the winner of the previous election is unwanted.

The hatred of an election loser does not stop the progress of a nation.

Treasure17:
Tinubu must feel it. The most unwanted and hated president ever.

All because your candidate lost election and finished 3rd place?

If Tinubu is the most unwanted and hated, what about your candidate that only won 6.1million votes, when Tinubu won 8.7million votes?

What is Tinubu feeling?

Are you Obidients also protesting?

Hannania:
TheYourba's are the most bigoted and tribalistic miscants in Nigeria, i don't blame the Igbos. Last election made me hate my roots as a western Nigerian. Shameful

Igboman so ashamed of his roots.

Chai!

I follow you shame for yourself.

Very stale Igbo playbook.

Kanu who is the originator, is still languishing in custody and now promising to be an Apsotle of Peace.

Goodvibes007:
What exactly is this OP driving at?

That all of Nigeria betrayed Jonathan in 2012.

He is trying hard to exonorate Yorubas from tribal betrayal that his fellow Igbos have been parroting.

I no fit laugh at the confusion.

Before the end of today, many Igbos will still post on this forum about how Yorubas protested against Jonathan in 2012 and betrayed the South.

The OP should focus his rehabilitation on his own people.

But same Igbos keep telling us that Yorubas protested against Jonathan’s removal of subsidy at Ojota, and that they supported subsidy removal.

So who are we to believe now?

What happened in the SouthEast was labour unions ensuring to shut down all labour operations to ensure national compliance.

The real protest was in Lagos, Kwara, Kano, Kaduna, and Abuja.

Or as Opposition figures came out enmass in those states, did the equally federal opposition APGA party ruling in Anambra come out to lead any protest in Anambra?

That was the year that Igbos and the SouthSouth revealed to all Nigerians that you do not protest against the government of your brother or political ally that favours your own region.

Nigerians have always learnt to adjust to how Igbos want us to run the country.

Like how we adjusted to a unitary Nigeria, but the Igbos wanted to escape.

Hahahahaha!

We pulled them back into the federation the same way Ironsi and Ojukwu pulled Niger Delta Republic of Isaac Adaka-Boro back into a united Nigeria.

The greatest achievement of the protest in the South and North is that the Igbos were kept inside their houses.

Not their houses in their own region where they hardly come out to support any national protests, but in their houses in other regions where they are quick to point fingers and constitute a menace during protests, while never lifting a finger in their own region.

Or did you see anyone protest in Abia that is in their own region?

Same way they were kept indoors in Lagos and Kano and Kaduna.

How intense was their EndSARS protest, despite their Awkuzu SARS killings and human rights abuse?

Did they protest during the January 2012 anti-subsidy protests in the SouthEast?

So now that all Nigerians have realised the cunning nature of those hypocrites, everyone expect them to go back to their region and protest if they care about the cause.

Henceforth, that will be the pattern to any protest in Nigeria.

Go to your region and protest. No follow destroy another man's region, while your own remain intact, but still execting to benefit from the victory of the protest.

In this country, when you return aggression for aggression, there will be mutual respect/fear.

Why is it so hard for some peole to just accept that a Yoruba Muslim candidate defeated their own candidate that was fighting a political religious warfare?

We won, you lost.

Move on.

agulion:
No body have Monopoly of protest, local Yoruba Muslims used protest to distroy GEJ, we the SS people are yet to forgive local Yoruba Muslims

Just say you the Igbos have yet to come to terms with the pain of defeat suffered by your preferred candidates since 2015.

Agu we dey shame for him tribe like Akuko.

Just suck them in and then close in on them.

Not one of them must be allowed to escape.

Goodluck to them convincing the judge what their mission was.

helinues:
Removal of Akpabio because Nigerians voted for him as Senate president.

Chai, this na noobs talk oo

I wonder myself.

Ignorance of the political system.
