Africans have to understand the difference between a protest and a riot. When people storm parliamentary to beat up people, attempt to burn down the supreme court too. it stopped being a protest and no matter how justified the protest us, the government will respond. 66 Likes 9 Shares |

This is an example of a people that wont allow its government to take them for granted. Taxation must come with reasonable justification, better representation, and significant results in the quality of life of the people being taxed. Lawmakers, executives, bureaucrats, and the judiciary cannot be living large corruptly, while the citizens wallow in abject poverty and wade through swamps of difficulties. Nigeria has one of the worst cases of taxation without equal rights and better life for all. 79 Likes 5 Shares |

This shows that all countries has it's own problem it's dealing with. Raising taxes to raise revenue for the government is not peculiar to Nigeria. This is really how most countries raise more revenue. The new Kenya finance bill include new levies/taxes on basic amenities such as bread, vegetable oil and even sugar lol... not only that, you now have to pay annual motor vehicle circulation tax pegged at 2.5% of the value of your car. What's Kenya's population again sef? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigerians can never unite in anything including to protest. Why? Because ONE NIGERIA is a Scam. Why? Because Nigerians owe more allegiance to Ethnicity than to Nationality. Why? Because Nigeria is not a Nation but a forced Geographical Contraption of diverse ethnic Nationalities that are not ready to unite and function as one. ONE NIGERIA remains a Scam. Nobody including President Tinubu believes in One Nigeria. Everybody is just out to grab from the centre and to satisfy his selfish or sectional interest. 26 Likes 5 Shares

I understand how some people think protestors have gone too far, but there are so many stooge governments throughout Africa. And those governments do not care what happens to people when they act in the interests of whites. You might think that these people burning a building is terrible, but what about the poverty and suffering that these stooge politicians CREATE? What about the terrorism they finance? What about stopping basic infrastructure from being built, or the poor quality infrastructure that harms people? What about depriving people of proper medical care? Those acts are far more violent than burning one building. There is nothing that these protestors could do that would be worse than what a handful of politicians do every day. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Mynd44: How did the government responded when people start protesting initially? Most of you need to learn the ACT of public engagement in Africa, I don't know why the government are too timid to engage her people adequately over burning national issues? Maybe we prefer crisis than peaceful atmosphere. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Chetas81:When it comes to Africa, protests generally don't work at all. So, prescribing protests for Nigeria would solve anything. What I would recommend is instead a move by individual voters to correct the problem through the use of the very same law that the looters once used to rig themselves into power against them. Nigerians can demand these criminal elements be recalled and this can be done from right within their homes... no gathering to protest necessary. The Kenyan kids plan to do exactly that soon, and Nigerians can do so too. 1 Like

Quest7777:The Kenyans protesting are not doing so for a one Kenyan but for the fact that they all do not want to be taxed to death. Stop brandishing this one Nigeria. It is not a good enough excuse because no one region in that country is clean as far as corruption and criminality have become the daily reality. Even if you split Nigeria into 100 parts, I can guarantee you that these same problems will not only equally impact every single partition but will also continue unabated until the people stand to fight it head-on. 7 Likes 1 Share

Chetas81:thr requirement is to gather signatures from at least half+1 of the voters in your specific electoral area. And yes, it is what people in parliamentary and Democratic communities do, their civic duty. You don't simply say, "oh, he rigged himself into office so it is over," No! You can cast a vote of "no confidence" to have them recalled in that case, something Nigerians ought to be doing a lot of but haven't been doing any of. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
