interesting...

well the first question op raised answered all he other questions
1) where are the looted funds?
the peple that looted Nigeria are not sitting down, the funds are recovered and they are in court trying to ensure that th country doesn't use the looted funds
we have people that believe no funds were looted
the people that looted Nigeria are sponsoring pipeline vandalisation and book haram and other things happening
the people that looted nigeriia are the one crying out the most
each time an arrest is made a pipeline is blown
they ensured that the budget was not passed on time
they ensured that they are playing victims
they fight for corrupt judges
they are angry that we are gradually becoming self sufficient in food production
they sold PHCN and NEPa to their friends knowing fully well that Nigeria will notblame them but blame the government, because we are abusing the government for power failure but I haven't seen one person protest against poor services from AEDC, ENUGU DISCO, EKO ELETRTIC, IBADAN ELECTRRIC, KADUNA ELECTRIC, IKEJA ELECTRIC etc....they are private companies, I haven't seen us protest against militants or avengers who have not told us what they are avenging,
instead I have seen us support people like dasuki..... who withdrew 2billion dollars in cash from the cbn meant to fight boko haram....
I haven't seen us protest against state governors in 28 states in Nigeria who have collected bail out from the federal government 3 times and still owe salaries, especially states like bayelsa osum rivers imo abia.....

lets get our priorities right I will join the protest but we must address our anger to the people who brought us to this mess
The only reasonable post so far. U can't be destroying the economy with ur own hands (oil facilities vandalisation), supporting criminals and be expecting a better situation. Anyway, I trust the security agencies. Some people will be helped out of this world that day.

If you cannot start a protest for a total dissolution of the country so everyone can go and start afresh with lessons learnt from the failure of lugards nigeria then count intelligent SE/SS out of your jamboree.

A nationwide call for dissolution of the cesspit is the only thing that can reset the skulls of your thieving politicans who will still retire to earn billion pensions while you die in penury as long as nigeria exists. It is the only protest that will threaten the billions they steal because a dissolve nigeria will close all the taps where they steal billions.

Only muslim zombies will refuse to see this truth even if you open up their skulls and slam it in there.
Gud one 4rm u, i support the dissolution of dis Evil Contraption.

Op,this is d way to go.If Nigerians can join in this protest,i bliv the govts head wud be reset.If anyone is waiting for 2019 to change this govt,they are on a wide goose chase because if things continue this way,with N5,000/person this govt can buy enough votes to return PMB to power.But a mass protest can force any govt to change its policies and put in place d right,people centred,economic friendly policies.
Lets mobilize fir this protest,but be wary of (1)sycophants off/online who wud start mobilizing against it,with financial backing from govt officials (2) Self centred,perpetual haters of this govt who wud want to hijack d protest for their own personal goals.

Yes we could be the 5%, we could be right in saying buhari shouldn't be voted but all these are in the past. Should be sit and watch Nigeria sink, look at every indices of life going down, do you really know how poor you are now you might claim you are immune to this but trust me bro that would make you a liar. Imagine the worth of 18000 when dollar was 180 and the same worth of 18000 @ dollar 505 a car that goes for 800000 today that same car sells for 2000000 what is happening in this country why should we from SS and SE claim we wont participate in our COMRADES CALL to decisive national action to better our life or is the outcome not going to be favourable to all Nigerian. For how long would the politicians keep us apart, when would that 'E GO BETTER' going to be better, when would we stop praying everyday and take our destiny into our hand, we are getting decimated and your only problem is " we the 5%ters were right", the fact that your son, brother, mother or any love one made a wrong choice is it not your responsibility help such person in time of need. We are our brothers and sister keeper irrespective of there mistake. Lets all come out 5th of February and heed the call of our comrades to avert this national disaster we are in.

FIRST MASSIVE NATIONWIDE PROTESTS ON THE 5TH OF FEBRUARY, 2017.

A call for good governance.

A call for urgent explanation into the reckless economic downturn nationwide.

A call for nationwide protests as we say No to the Executive, No to legislatures, No to judiciary... You have all failed us.

We the people are tired. We can no longer continue with all of you. All your excuses and mistakes are not funny. We do not wish to continue with a system and government that is not working but afflicting the people. We the people of this country not living under the privileges of government allowances and remuneration have now accepted to take the bull by the horn to come out and protest this obnoxious and baseless policies and excuses of the government of the day.

Where are the recovered looted funds?

Why do we still have the executive arms and legislatures still enjoying their salaries and allowances while we hear there's no money to pay workers?

Why do we still see ceaseless power failures with no explanation and hope of getting out of it unlike before?

Why do we keep seeing peace talks in Niger Delta, fulani heardsmen and ipob without any solutions being reached, while the strategies keeps aggravating the people involved as political leaders stage forums to extort funds in the name of addressing their subjects?

Why did we have petrol price rise to 145 for the sake of global oil price crash and removal of subsidy but such price is still being maintained despite significant re-awakening of the oil price from $30/barrel to $56/barrel?

Who is to be held accountable for the sudden and continuous hike in price of commodities in the market, where for the first time in history, Nigeria is suddenly selling kerosene at 400 naira per litre as against 50 naira per litre, diesel at 300 naira per litre as against 100 naira per litre and petrol from 87 naira to 145 naira? Yet maintaining the same systems, environment and maybe a lesser money spending government.

There's need for Nigerians to rise against what is happening in this country having waited patiently for the legislatures that were elected to represent the people all to no avail.

How can there be rise in cost of living all of a sudden and no one is telling us what is actually happening? Not even a single person in power to address the challenges in the various sectors and introduce palliative measures by the government to cushion the effects?

We call on all Nigerians of good conscience to rise against this inhumanity against mankind, dehumanization and heartlesness living in high places piloting the affairs of this country while we're yet to drawn into a deep blue sea.

To this cause, we the masses wish to use this medium to alert ourselves that on the 5th of February, 2017 , there shall be a nationwide massive protest from state to state, local government to local government, ward to ward and kindred to kindred.

For the first time, all Nigerians shall match out of their houses to the streets with placards displaying what displeases you in the Nigeria of today both in the executive, legislatures and judiciary arms of government.

Cars shall carry green leaves to display the unhappiness we the masses have towards the economic uncertainties in Nigeria and the displeasure of hearing of excuses and mistakes here and there in governance.

Nobody said anybody is above resignation if he cannot meet up the yearnings of the people like David Cameron of United kingdom.

We are tired of getting surprises whenever we visit the market and yet no shake up in government spending amidst the dwindling economic reserve. Our governors and top government functionaries keep living flamboyant lifestyle, building mansions and buying up properties abroad at the most expensive locations in the world and they end up going away with it once they identify with government or political party of the day.

Enough is enough.

We have been pushed to the wall, we have reached our crossroads and our last hope before we are drawned in silence without notice is a massive protest and a vote of no confidence on the people we voted to pilot the affairs of our nation.

May we rise to demand a bann on the following:

Security votes of every government functionaries. Why do we spend extra while their security operatives rely on their normal salaries, why even continue this scheme in a dwindling economy as this in Nigeria today?

Oversight functions.

Excessive allowances like health and travelling allowances abroad, etc.

New yearly furniture allowances, rentals and kitchens for government houses, etc...

And the need to start owing governors salaries etc.

The need to stop local government allocations till they start functioning constitutionally.

The need to channel youth empowerment programs towards youth friendly programs such as sports, information technology, entertainment, innovations, inventions and not just agriculture or farming.

We call on state of emergency on power, bad roads, poor governance, dead local government areas, electoral frauds etc.

God help Nigeria as we rise on the 5th of February, 2017.

Long live the people of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Pls pass it on till it gets to over 145million Nigerians suffering from the current hardship that is capable of turning this country into a living hell if nothing is done about it NOW.

Encourage growth, encourage development, encourage stability to all.

Help us to fight with our own voices now.

Please kindly rebroadcast...

If this project does not include true federalism or devolution of power in their agenda, then this might not fly...it should be the umbrella upon which this protest should stand..because if that alone can be achieve then it will answer every other problems

Leme assume ur IQ is not lower dan room temperature.. This govt has suffered little to NO opposition!! All they have is a product of dea own making.. The looters are Boko haram and sponsors of AVENGERS? This self delusion is grand.. Its d looters dat planned to cancel d amnesty program? Its d looters dat u have freezed dea accounts and are engaged in litigations dat are bombing pipelines. They are also bombing IDP camps.. They also stopped a budget dat did not capture both NYSC and house officers ab initio. The looters also have hijacked d new budget dat cannot even cater for increased salary package when even Venezuela dat is worst hit by oil price slump has increased by 50%. The looters also stopped PMB in 1984? Talking bout PHCN, when it was privatized d process was aired on live TV, leme help ur ignorance, did u ever watch a bidding process 4 MTN, ECONET and GLO? Cronies ko, colonies ni.


Op all u have written dea is vague and nobody would work with it.. What are u protesting for in one sentence? Inflation, salary increase or reduction in cost of power supply or PMB's resignation, take ur pick. Besides 4get bout pulling the "anti-Trump" feat cos Buratai boys would use u as target practice.. Just pull together ur believers with same ideology and stage ur march
