Today I observed a one minute silence to those that would go out on the 1st of August and never come back home 😔

That that would die during the national hunger protest

So I began to think: are there no better ways to protest without losing lives?

What would be the actual cost of this August 1st protest.

What message do we want to pass across to the government?

What exactly do we want to achieve?

A better way to go about this protest is for everyone to sit at home.

It's very difficult to manage a crowd- especially an angry and hungry crowd.

The probability for some people among the crowd to take the laws in their hand is very high.

The probability for the law enforcement agents to use force to maintain law and order is very high.

The cost of crowd protest is very high.

Properties could be destroyed. Lives could be lost

The same message could be passed across by asking everyone to sit at home.

The same results would be achieved.

You don't even need everyone to participate.

The NLC has been silenced with a 70k minimum wage.

They're very happy, thinking they've achieved a lot.

You only need the NURTW to participate by sitting at home.

Doctors and nurses and every other person on essential duty should find their way to work.

If NURTW should make a single demand " REDUCE THE FUEL PRICE NOW" or we sit at home, the government must listen.

They must sit up and do the right thing

Sit at home is for the east, others should go out and protest. Remember to buy your 6k protest Jersey before you go out to face the hot bullets that will kill you please.

Why should someone be killed in a protest? J don't get

Sit at home cannot work if they are no people to enforce it people will naturally want to go and look for daily bread them no go hear all this one wey you dey talk forget it it won't work.
It worked in the southeast because most Igbo's are naturally pro-Biafran and there is provision to enforce it because humans are naturally stubborn you cannot order anyone to stay at home without some degree of force

Nigeria protested in all the state during endsars. Lagos has more than five points where people make together. Only lekki to gate witnessed a challenge.

But every protest is being judged based on what happened at lekki.

Nigerians are really dumb

Lagos lost over 100 buses that were burnt during that protest let's say each one was 40M...times 100 you know how much that is? If you are the governor and you hear the word protest again will you sit and say it's their right? Even the governors mothers house was burnt luckily she wasn't there....no one is asking you not to protest but we know ourselves Nigerians dey always over do......

That happened in Lagos because the government sponsored people trying to stop the protest.

In other states, they left them to do their thing.

36 state did protest only one had issues

The east is wiser ..

Without even destroying anything, they make you mad and jealous.

How can you survive as a Yoruba man ,if you sit at home, when your daily existence is based of thuggery, kickbacks and illegal taxation?

Shey TINUBU will be president for life abi..

E go shock una..

Tinubu dey fear, e come be you..no level..no Sense

Just shallow...

RONU

They lost buses paid with their own money abi?

Oil proceeds from other regions doesn't benefit Lagos abi?

Other general taxation revenues are not paid to LAGOS abi?

You see una...e go over una.

Na una use una hand cast totally...

Shey its IGBOs you are teaching a lesson..

No brains..all of una..

Total shallowness.. RONU

Your unwelcome opinion has been duly noted and flushed down the toilet accordingly. Thank you 😊

Funniest thing is that , with the way you just explained concisely to the RONU failure, you ought to expect an intelligent rebuttal abi?

You go wait tire..


That is how they reason..like THICK BLOCKs dropped into the Ocean.

Remember they are sophisticated..

you obviously were not paying attention to the news at that period to know that several policemen lost their lives across the country.....prisons broken into and criminals let out, and people's businesses from Abuja to Ogun state were broken into and looted....Lagos suffered the most loss but it did not suffer alone.....

Those in the SouthEast have engaged in their sit-at-home for 4 years now. what have they achieved?

Back in 2012 and 2014, when Nigerians protested, there were no reported killing of protestors. The murderous acts of the last administration were that, murderous acts, and this fact was affirmed by the courts.

But you are destroying the economy you claim that IGBOs hate.

So why will my idiocy make you a raving lunatic?


Na IGBO cause BUHARI and TINUBUs economic disaster?

Shey all una hope dey LAGOS...

E go shock una...

Even RONU failure from OSUN or Oyo will be claiming LAGOS.

Na wa.

The sit at home makes you run mad constantly..

Your region is always crying... because the effects are total.

Can you engage in a sit at home? When your livelihood is based on illegal taxation and thuggery?

If Lagos experiences sit at home..you will all eat your selves in your houses. E sure die.

So respect the SE...they are 10000000000000% better than you, sophisticated failures..

is this one okay.....hope you know the person that set the buses on fire was chinasa from Anambra who went there because they told him BRT stands for Bola Raji Tinubu and it should be burnt.....Yorubas are not destructive people.... if you want to protest that's fine just don't be destructive.....that's all

Last i checked, illegal taxation in the form of all out looting of funds and lives of the people is not unique to any one region in Nigeria.

So, again,Those in the SouthEast have engaged in their sit-at-home for 4 years now. what have they achieved?

Tinubu and BUHARI that you supported and still support have looted the nation they claim IGBOs hate dry

With their loots and nepotism what have you benefited? Bragging Rights...on empty stomachs?


As regards the sit at home and other sundry matters relating the the SE, do you think embassies are only for VISA processing?

NIGERIA is at the tipping edge and the sweet thing is that YORUBA and the NORTH destroyed it without IGBO input.

Chinasa Propaganda that has casted ..

Show us the picture of Chinasa...and we will go and visit him in prison to confirm.

You think your useless lies are working?...you guys are such losers.

Show us Chinasaa picture and I will show you the pictures of the men, women and children of Yoruba decent that placed your useless OBAs staff on Jiji.

Or you want me to show you TINUBUs thugs that were pictured during the ENDSARs..or the people that entered the SUV from Alausa?

You are just shameless...

Have you not heard that IGBOs no send una dirty protest. You will unleash thugs on your fellow Agbado.

Yoruba will kill Yoruba

Chinasa is a figment of your Propaganda arm..and even my friends here are laughing at how sophisticated your shallowness shines..

Sit at Home form of protest can't work without strict enforcement. Who will enforce it?
In South East where it seems to have worked, lives were lost or being lost too, while being enforced by IPOB or countered by State actors.
Besides, a lot of people depend on daily income for survival.

People like this are an embarrassment. Sit at home in the East only happened because the authorities kept shooting and killing innocent peaceful Biafran protesters dead. Some Nigerians praised the authorities for killing Biafran protesters, saying they were challenging the sovereignty of Nigeria.

People like me kept sounding notes of warning that encouraging the authorities to crack down on protesters, just because you don't agree with what they are protesting about, would create a situation where government would be emboldened to come down hard on anyone protesting against it, creating a dictatorship.

People did not listen.

You are in a democracy, but you are not allowed your constitutional right to freely express your self? What's the point?

It is the duty of government to allow people to publicly protest, ensure the safety of protesters and prevent break down of law and order

If government cannot do that, it is no government

you're right not many businesses are insured in Nigeria but for those who are to have suffered such loss imagine what the real cost is when you add the uninsured who will have to start over from their own pockets.....

Why should someone be killed in a protest? J don't get

But do you get it as to why one chinasa will burn down BRT buses? Do you get it that one?

Omoyorubatooto:


But do you get it as to why one chinasa will burn down BRT buses? Do you get it that one?

Was the one chinasa the one killed or some killers used the excuses of chinasa to kill other Nigerians?

Sit-at-home? More like sit-at-home and do nothing.

This is just another way for people to escape responsibility and accountability. Protests are meant to shake things up, not cozy up at home.

If you truly want change, then get out there and make your voice heard. The idea that staying home will somehow send a message is just a lazy excuse for inaction.

We need to stop this culture of passivity. Sitting idle won’t solve anything; it only allows those in power to continue their misrule unchallenged.

Enough of this sit-at-home nonsense; it’s time to stand up and fight for what we believe in!
