But the same Nigerians did not vote Sowore who vowed not to remove subsidy.

He did not even score up to 50,000 votes.

Instead, about 22 million Nigerians voted for Tunubu, Atiku, and Obi. All the top 3 candidates vowed to remove subsidy.

Rights jam Rights.

Who then is Right?

The foolish ones will argue for the right of way, the wise ones will go left and move to another venue or return home.

Naa!

Too early for that.

Na the Governor go use him mouth beg FG to intervene.

tishbite42:
There's nothing in that list
She's saying the necessary test results were not submitted. I'm not sure the tests were conducted.

That was the issue with her previous competition not with the current Olympics.

She only cited that to inform that it would not be the 1st time such has happened to her.

So this is a case the NOC and AFN should follow up with the IOC.

Nigeria is being denied a spot in a competition that the athlete qualified for and was duly registered for.

It is not just her fight alone, it is Nigeria's fight.

victorDanladi:
Which Agbero style
Abeegi...the same fate awaits any form of subsidy removal

That guy is obviously ignorant of the difference between subsidy removal versus fuel price hike.

He thinks Buhari is foolish for removing subsidy then reinstating it, only to plan for its removal after his own tenure has ended?

Ikaeniyan0:
The Governor is fully in support

Fully in support.

Na that Kano the protest go bad.

The Governor will learn lessons like Sanwo-Olu and Alex Otti.

Northern wahala. Their protest no get any leadership or structure.

The Governor said he supports the protest.

Na chair and computer monitor go feed their hunger?

franchasng:
Ojota protest no doubt was led by Yoruba political elites. What did you call the name again? "Ojota Protest", where is Ojota? In Lagos.


They never born that Yoruba man that will lead a protest outside Yoruba land, that is the point. Yorubas are known cowards, cowards cannot lead a national revolution in a multi tribal, multicultural nation like Nigeria, that is the cache.


Only Igbos have the guts of a lion in Nigeria to protest or carry out revolution or uprising against any government outside their region, no other Nigerian tribe have that gut or liver aside Igbos and that was why Tinubu's government were busy attacking Igbos and Igbo leaders accusing them of being responsible for the protest even when Northerners and Yorubas came out publicly to say they support the protest and would lead it.



Tinubu government know that the Northerners and Yorubas cannot do anything meaningful except Igbos join them, that was why they focused on attacking and suppressing Igbos to stop them from joining the protest because they know that without Igbos joining the protest, the protest will fail.




That is the point and you know this truth even though envy, hatred, and treachery won't let you a typical Yoruba man to accept this obvious truth in Nigeria.

The cowards are the ones who know the way Igbos regard them, and still support what is obviously an Igbo agenda.

I like how your verbal diarrhea will help to rehabilitate those "cowards" going forward.

The greatest agony of the Igbo was to learn that outside of its Eastern region, there are Yorubas in the same southern half of the country to checkmate their domination and supremacist mindset.

The "coward" Yoruba tribe prevented the Igbo man from winning the Presidency because they simply said it is the turn of the Yorubas, and it came to be against the "ferocious" Igbo that you have admitted is being successfully gaslighted into surrender by the "coward" Yoruba.

What irony!

No wonder the Governor there said he supports protest.

The weak governor would soon learn lessons from similar weakness that was demonstrated by Gov Sanwo-Olu during the endSARS protest, and by Gov Alex Otti during the illegal Biafra day of this year.

franchasng:
Protested at Ojota for petrol subsidy


Meanwhile many Igbo political leaders and youths in Lagos joined them anyway.



Go back and read my initial post


Only Igbos have the guts to protest or carry out revolution or uprising in Nigeria outside Igbo land without fearing anybody, and you know this is the truth.



Yoruba man weh never get liver to confront Ab0ki in Lagos will have the guts to go to Onitsha or Kano or Kaduna or ABA or Portharcourt to protest? IBB and all Nigerians know Yorubas are and who the Lions of Nigeria are, no need for further argument

Oh!

So Ojota protest is no more about Yorubas protesting against the Jonathan regime and being a betrayal of Southern unity?

Thank God you are admitting the destructive "Chinasa" in you that made your own tribal leaders warn you all not to be a nuisance and anarchist in this planned peaceful protest.

At least you will not claim it is Yoruba media that is unfairly accusing you, or that Ahmadu Bello was a tribalist for accurately describing your tribe and also checkmating your excesses.

Continue with the mouth diarrhea, it is very revealing of the Igbo.

ImoleNaija:
I don't know why a harmless & reasonable person would rejoice over sit-at-home in Lagos.

This really speaks volume of who you are & what you want Lagos to look like.

If you do not know Igbo, then you now know Igbo.

You now know the meaning of children of 8.

vanbonattel:
Hurray, Lagos is sitting at home, congratulations

What you force on others will one day come round to afflict you. What you decided to exploit and used to destroy the economy of the east side will one day come and live in your own side.

The disease dey una DNA.

magoo10:
They will soon say Igbos have taken sit at home to Lagos.
Tinubu supporters clowns

They do not need to say, you can already see an Igbo jubilating.

The disease dey una DNA.

But you lots claim Yorubas protested against subsidy removal of the Jonathan regime in Ojota in 2012, reminding us that Igbos and the SouthSouth region did not participate and therefore established a precedent of sectional/tribal support for the government in power.

Did the subsidy removal continue after the protest?

Your problem as an Igbo is that you suffer from "mouth diarrhea", and try to make everything about you.

Ordinary Alangba that thinks it is an Alligator.

Anyone that nears the prison should just be carried inside there forever.

Free prison food forever.

surgical:
so why has the courage failed him now
He is doing everything to frustrate the protest
He has over a year to rethink his stupid policies, he was forming jagaban, listening to court jesters and sycophants

Like I replied to someone earlier, many of you are not accustomed to having a civil, pro-people, and pro-democracy advocate as President.

The President has been engaging with stakeholders on the long-term benefits of the sacrifices being made now, while also reworking and retooling the economic consequences but not the policy.

On the protest itself, the President has also been meeting with Nigerians and leaders of communities, be it religious, tribal, and economic, to see how best to manage the anger and hunger that is fueling the protest and advocate patience, but while sternly alerting all anarchist that violence and vandalism will not be tolerated.

That is democratic best practice at the highest level. Protest in peace, not in anarchy.

Even the police has been demonstrating a civilised approach in engaging the visible leaders of the protest.

Even the anarchists are laughing that the government is afraid, just because they have never seen a Nigerian government show the level of concern and engagement to ensure that the protest is even shelved if all parties can agree on a compromise.

Kalashnikov49:
Uppercut delivered...

Stats===> Brutality

This is all you have to say after boasting?

Supervisor, get another person on the job who will not score an own-goal.

Lizzysamuel:
I'm not an internet miscreant like you.

I don earn 1k per day for posting everyday on Nairaland as an uchin.

Ok!

You don't have any Obi events to post today?

Obidients never do meeting again or dem never build beautiful borehole finish to whitewash the ugly one?

I discuss issues as a politically aware Nigerian, and support the best candidate who can deliver. I research political history and bring information into the current discourse.

Unlike you, I do not belong to a single political party or political discussion group. I do not post political events that a politician just attended, or post discussions from a political WhatsApp group. We know you are part of the political troupe following your principal about.

So you are the political urchin here, not me who make my money outside of politics in a very technical field.

Continue making your political money, but stop scoring own-goals like this topic that reminds Nigerians how President Tinubu fought for their democratic rights.

Kalashnikov49:
Person wey don go work...

She isn't jobless like you that claims to be an 'influenza' without brain faculties..

Your total salary as a zonB for a whole year will fit comfortably into her wallet..

E shock you abi?

She get Levels...

Now that I have entered the thread..can we continue from your cocaine investing demigod?

RONU

OK! She go work another one as this one no gree work?

Back to the WhatsApp group to report her failed mission?

Me I be Engineer working on high seas all over the world.

Unlike her, I do not share pictures of politicians at events I am attending with them.

So we know her work and we know that political work dey fill wallet wella. Obi gallant wella with Anambra money that was domiciled in his bank to make profit for his shares. Sowore don talk him matter wella.

As you be her Supervisor sent to rescue this failed mission, wetin you wan talk about our democratic President that was also an activist and protesting for the rights of Nigerians?

After scoring own goal, the OP don abandon her own topic?

Typical Daughter of Discord.

Kukutente23:
And how has the story been since then?
Subsidy is gone
Hypocrites

Yes!

Let it be gone as Buhari planned it and the top 3 candidate supported it.

I may not support its removal because I knew the consequences, but I will not pretend that Tinubu did not support its removal as a candidate, and followed it up on the 1st day in office.

But Sowore who is a protest leader that wants subsidy to be returned, never supported its removal, but did you or me vote for him?

How many thousands of votes did he win compared to the millions won by Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi?

That is why those top losers, cannot champion any protest against what they supported as presidential candidate.

SisterJolade:
Then Why does he not want same energy to be unleashed on his government?

Your problem is that you are not used to the level of civility and citizen engagement that the Tinubu Presidency has demonstrated, and that the Nigerian Police Force has copied to manage this protest.

After 2weeks and nobody is shot or harassed, I hope the mischievous protesters in their midst will not start attacking each other.

This Tinubu regime will demonstrate the restraint that will make you angry at your failed objectives.

GeneralPula:
Not at all or you don hear say Tinubu told police to attack protesters?

Tinubu has never said anybody shouldn’t protest. What he’s against is destruction like how it happened during the end sarz..

They cannot show you 1 single evidence that Tinubu protested with violence or denied others the right to protest.

This very topic is a good reminder of the kind of democrat we now have in power.

No be militarized democrat like Obasanjo or Buhari, or like Jonathan who saw every negative report as a calculated embarrassment by those against his government.

Tinubu has even been engaging Nigerians from all walks of life, to let them kniw how the government is trying its best. Even the police force is having very cordial engagements with the protest leaders.

Even the lritest leaders are so relaxed that they are asking for Air Conditioned buses to convey protesters to the approved venues.

Nigerians are not used to this level of civility.

Tinubu has used civility to cause confusion to the plans of those who do not intend for peaceful protests.

trutharena:
Jubilations all over Nigeria as President TINUBU stands firm for the rights of citizens! A true leader prioritizing peace and safety.

We need the OP to keep reminding Nigerians that President Tinubu did not become a democratic leader overnight.

He fought in the opposition and led protests, so he knows what it means for the people to have the right to protest peacefully as he did.

SisterJolade:
Tinubu is a scam. He will still unleash dare devil thugs like you on innocent protesters.

Tinubu has led peaceful protest for 2weeks at Ojota, until the Jonathan regime sent the military to a democratic gathering of lawful Nigerians who did not vandalize or damage a single property.

Good to have a pro-democracy activist like Tinubu as President.

As we have been informed, the Tinubu government has promised not to deploy the army like OBJ, Jonathan, or Buhari did when they were in power.

Even the Police Force has been very civil with its engagement of the leaders of the protest in a way Nigerians have never experienced, and have promised to provide adequate security to keep everyone safe during this period.

The OP has helped to remind all Nigerians that we have a man who had the courage to lead protests and warn the government not to perpetrate any violence against the protesters.

Even the protest he led in Ojota signified a turning point in peaceful protests in the annals of Nigerian democratic resistance.

And finally in 2014, same Tinubu called for a democratic revolution that will sack the PDP from power and bring about change. He accomplished it the very next year with the support of Nigerian voters.

I see that Sowore's demands includes the release of a terrorist who is being lawfully prosecuted.

MaziX:
Imagine what this one is saying

Ogbeni, I pay my tax.

Go and pay your own. Don't be a useless member of the society.

Imagine the effrontery?

AngelicBeing:
Hian, how did you recalled what Ah.nie said in the thread because it happened in 2021

I actually just chanced upon that old topic about 2 or 3days before this news was posted, so I immediately remembered the history and tales of woe associated to the woman.

Kobojunkiee:
Do You think any of that money will be seen again after Tinubu gets his hands on it?

If you do not want the government to get its hand on taxes, have you also asked the government to stop all spending on infrastructure and services?

Nigeria is now practicing what we go to enjoy in the "saner climes", but as usual, we do not want sanity in Nigeria.

No one should escape paying taxes, even on sudden windfall.
