The protest is a necessity.

If only they could also display this show of force in our ever increasing hot zones where innocent citizens are being kidnapped and massacred frequently.

Upcoming politician, well done. There's only one sad truth that negates all your points though: the APC led government has only succeeded in increasing minimum wage while reducing real wage over the course of their 9 years in office. The government is made up of smart persons who've mastered the art of giving with the left while collecting with the right.

Nigerians must learn to be patriotic: put the interests of the nation above personal gains. How are the major policies (subsidy removal/fuel price increase, VAT increase, interest rate increase, etc.) helping the nation as an entity? What are the leaders PLANS of bettering the living conditions in Nigeria? How have they improved security?

This smirks of d*cta...

The female gender is always sentimental and dramatic. He doesn't need to be doing anything untoward with them.

Of all God's creations, He regretted creating man! The heart of man is EXTREMELY wicked...

Thundafireseun:

A lot of parents still need parenting….

How do you explain that your daughter gave birth to a child (blessing from God ) and she threw it away in the garbage…

What kinda parenting do parents give to their daughters??

The parents of the girl is to blame here …But the girl should be punished as determent to other Ill trained Gen Z girls

How old is the girl? Is she living with her parents? Does she even have parents?
You know too little to decide who's to blame.

Non-realistic fiction!

Urgent1Million:

Tinubu has been part of the syndicate all along.
Let me tell you why.
1. He announced the removal of subsidy to make the price of petrol really high.
2. He kept paying subsidy to NNPC secretly so they can keep selling below the landing cost.
3. Other marketers could not afford to stay in business 'cos no one would buy from them for the realistic price.
4. The NNPC buys over other petrol stations. Right now, there is a near monopoly in the ownership of fuel stations in Nigeria. Thanks to the NNPC.
5. NNPC refused to complete the payment for their initially agreed stake in the Dangote refinery, claiming it no longer aligns with their corporate goals.
6. With little over 80% of fuel stations owned by NNPC which would not buy products form Dangote refinery due to "low quality", Dangote's business would suffer.
7. Since Nigeria needs petroleum products, the importation continues with secret subsidy payments aka looting.

Wow! Your analysis is spot on

Exclusive101:
Hopeless obidient foolish ipob clown where is one built by your entire tribe ? The Orient Petroleum Refinery Peter Pandora Obi wasted billions of Anambra funds on n commissioned over 15 years ago is yet to produce a single cup of kerosene talk more of diesel or petrol.

Are you guys serious? Can't you hold a discussion without publicly displaying tribalistic sentiments?
BTW, both the attacker and the attacked are 'tribesmen'.

That said, government must assume its responsibility of safeguarding the interests of its citizens. If Dangote's products aren't good enough, measures should be put in place to ensure they improve. I support the idea of ensuring Dangote has quality and healthy competition.

Wow! So youths who put their lives and resources on the line to protest against police brutality and government's lack of sensitivity to the plights Nigerian citizens are now been referred to as BANDITS! How convenient!!!
The good news is that the hardship that was actively instigated by the APC govt. knows no party, tribe or religion... It's only a matter of time before the average Nigerian realises that there only 2 tribes in Nigeria: the ELITE & the MASSES! The masses MUST unite and fight for their rights because only the elites stand to benefit from our division! We're honest and hardworking NIGERIANS and we deserve to enjoy the basic necessities of life in NIGERIA!!!

The fact that we're yet to embark on a full-blown nation-wide protest, despite the unbearable conditions we're living in, is a pointer to a major problem: we're not politically HEALTHY as a nation!

The government can either approve a living wage of #250,000.00 or take the economy to how it was when 30k minimum wage was introduced.

Thank God for Dangote importing raw materials from US.

Meanwhile, in 9 years the APC-led Govt. has successfully incured monumental debts, sold of FUTURE (yet to be explored) crude oil, introduced new taxes while simultaneously increasing existing tax rates.

That's not all, in almost 1 decade of this government, insecurity has increased, inflation rate has shot up, electricity production has reduced, etc.

This prompts patriotic Nigerians to ask: does APC have any viable plan of improving Nigeria?

PortHarcourtcit:
did Obi conduct local government election or he did not? Sometimes I wonder how you guys manage to defend OBI after all the glaring evidence against OBI... Shameful...

Did Obi lead Anambra to this level of austerity which APC has led Nigeria to? Did Obi contribute to d mess Nigeria is experiencing today? Anyone bringing up PO is just trying to distract Nigerians and score cheap points!

You can't even pretend to be objective! Of all the ills plaguing Nigerians in this regime, you've never criticised the government in power, na Peter Obi be your problem.

NLC has long lost its credibility! It's high time we moved on from increasing minimum wage to addressing issues that are making wages useless! Why remove subsidy when the loopholes could have been plugged? Why not reduce cost of production 1st? Why are we not refining our own products? The money saved from subsidy removal, where has it been invested? How has it made life easier for the common man?
These are issues our labour leaders should prioritise. Increasing mininum wage would just give momentary relief because the economy will still adjust through inflation unless the pressing issues are addressed. But NLC won't ply that route because of selfish political and economic gains!

ConfusePoint:
I may finally end it soon. Can't bear any longer.

If u end it, how are you sure d great beyond will be better? Staying alive is the only way to give yourself a chance at success.

The major problem of Nigeria is a lack of patriotism. The average Nigerian is inherently selfish and greedy. Until we ALL Understand that NIGERIA's welfare is more important than our individual interest, our politicians will keep pillaging our resources while we struggle to survive.

Our current situation is like the frog placed in a pot of water and placed on fire! We MUST find our way out b4 our hands get tied!

Zonefree:
The F gender is naturally wicked, that's how God created them.

Haba! Don't u have any control over ur choice of words? 1st of u hastingly accused an entire gender (past, present and future) of wickeness. Then you proceeded to accuse God of creating them wicked.
Think b4 u type. That's what makes you human.

Johnkay225:

Sense is very far from youif this is all you could come up with in the face of tragedy. How can people be this stupid in this country? If you want to drag Peter Obi, don't use people's death to do so unless you are just plain stupid and you have no conscience..

HE ISN'T STUPID. JUST PLAIN INSENSITIVE, SELFISH AND MYOPIC.

gidgiddy:


DSS do this all the time, arrest people and hold them for years without charge. There was a case last year where the DSS stormed a guys house, arrested him and bundled him away. The family actually thought it was kidnappers and waited for ransom. After 2 years of of not hearing from the guy, the family did burial for him believing that the kidnappers had killed him, only to find out later that the guy was in DSS custody Abuja all along. After three years, the DSS just released the guy like that, no charge, no explanation. To this day, the guy does not know what he did wrong

DEMOCRACY indeed... Military dictatorship in disguise!

davies:
Our boarding school system need a thorough check, where was the person in charge of the hall when all this happened?

I'm not a fan of boarding schools. If you have kids, especially hyper active ones, you'll understand how difficult it is monitoring kids. The house master's job is worse because of the number of students they oversee. So the school deleg8's authority 2 house prefects who might abuse d position. That aside, it's not possible to monitor STUDENT'S 247. That's why i'll always admonish parents to patronise day schools if they can spare the time. No one can value and care for your child the way you could.

My fave!

Politicians should reduce their bogus allowances and bonuses by 70%, invest the savings in agriculture so as to reduce the rate of inflation especially for foodstuff. Investment is the actual sustainable solution, not increase in minimum wage. But we know the ogas at the top will rather find more ways to pillage the already comatose treasury than reduce their largesse.

The change of national anthem and any other issues arising from it are calculated attempts at distracting people from more pressing issues- the economy has collapsed: no economist or business can plan or make forecasts in these circumstances. Government should first of all profer solutions to the hunger and lack plaguing the land before thinking of fancy changes of anthem. And when that time comes, NIGERIANS are able to come up with something new, fresh and creative.

You get uncle wife when dey give you better breakfast, host you and give you solid takeaway and you nor dey happy.

Trueigbo:
I know sin is sin but which one do you think is the worst as a human being

Suicide.

For two reasons; it displays hopelessness/lack of faith and gives the sinner no chance of repentance/seeking forgiveness.

Na wah. I don't understand how we're celebrating 63 years together while we fight over every little thing. Ordinary pictures when Dem snap before Dem dream to born una, una still dey fight.

My brother's mind is made up on divorce.

What will you advise my brother to do?

There's no need for a divorce, the marriage should be annulled instead. If he can prove that the wife actually lied about her health status, it means the marriage was not valid in the first place: it was a sham.

ccjoe:



1. We do it regularly and without condom.


2. I never knew it will end like this.


3. ##Mature minds only and no insult pls.

1 and 2 do not belong in the same writeup na. As for 3, you can't make such a mess knowing your background then bring the mess in a Nigerian social media space without expecting vawulence.

Ucheuokoro:
All the pages used for OBIdient are still the same pages used for IPOB terrorist groups.

Like this I don wash my hand for Peter Obi matter. The devil I know is better than the angel I dont know

The devil is the devil, an angel is an angel. You can't coerce good out of evil and vice versa.
