Thanks for the evidence, that should tell you agbadorians are more committed to Nigeria growth than tribalism, we meant well and we agitate for all, be you flat or round head
trust me we will do more if Tinubu doesnt sit up, we show obasanjo sege even til date
That you brenda will know joy or jubilation for one day in your life time on that side you belong is probably next life sucks to be you

And what have you people done to Tinubu after causing pain and sorrow to you people?

are you waiting till he kills more of your people?

is that how you people's lives are worthless to Tinubu?

Unperturbedpota:
Lazy Nigerian youth. Keep ranting online don't go and attack those stealing your future. Keep focusing on Davido Wizkid big brother and useless trash.

Foolish youths
Tomorrow when Kenyan economy gets to the point where you can never reach it Nigeria. Lazy youths will start arguing who has the better jollof rice between Nigeria and Kenya.
Very stupid set of brainless foolish people

You are among those you call foolish. Infact your own stupidity surpasses them. What holding you from taking the initiative?

Organise the youth in your street,town or state and led the protest or whatever if you really mean it.

Idiot without liver wan dey form online.

Oga carry these una nonsense "we warn ..." cry comot for here jare
Polls/ elections is not enough to get the right leader, what protect the country interest are the system in place and the readiness of the people to hold the govt accountable

If US, Uk , name it don't have the kind of system they have and citizens that are ready to stand up to the govt ... there leaders would take them for a ride
In countries like china, singapore govt official you steal money na death sentence

God bless you for this. I don tire for obidients and "we warned you"...

No one,i repeat no one can tell what would be the aftermath of the economy if peter obi had won,likewise no one knows for a fact that this is how tinubu regime will turn out.

The obidients just keep using this statement because it massages their ego and make them feel like they knew it all and can predict shit.

We all know tinubu is not the best of choice among the presidential candidates and he'll do bad but no one imagine it could be this worse.

chidiokay:

Obidients no go kee person. Absolutely brain-dead set of folks.

Are you usually these dumb, you posted a screenshot of what we've have done naw ... hunger is ravaging the nation buh we choose to personalize it "ebi pa waa" even emeka is hungry but e dey feign big tummy
agbadorians have staged more protest whereas opposition are busy commissioning borehole .. Water fit quench hunger nii

Before govt live in denial but the "ebi pa waa" is so loud even FG had to come up with tax & import duties lift on food items ... who does that for worthless people

If only he did not listen to bad economic advices...to devalue the currency...that singular act has ruined his administration.

Day169:
There are different sides to a problem, just as there may be different approaches to the solution.
I think it's imperative for the government to begin to think out of the box by increasing their other sources of income generation, save for higher taxes, either by boosting non oil exports or reducing the waste in governance.

Nigeria don't have revenue problem. We have expenditure problem. I don't understand why this is not clear to people now.

In our political culture and arrangement now, more money only means more government engagement in useless things.

And did any of that change you people's situation?

Is that how worthless you people's complain is to Tinubu?

Is that how weightless your voices are to Tinubu?

So while Peter Obi was busy helping rural areas without water get water, Tinubu was busy destroying Nigeria reason why you people came out to protest against him, have you seen anybody come out to protest against Peter Obi for doing bore hole?

The same man you supported into office is the same person punishing you people that you people are coming out to protest against, yet you are here still defending the same punisher.

Are you people confused or you don't just value your lives or you just see your lives to be worthless for Tinubu?

Imagine protesting against somebody and still coming back to defend him...

Are you people really normal?

We voted BAT and we are holding him accountable, instead of Obedient to join us or @least shut up there stinking brain .. they've chosen to be a worthless distraction

whenever we are calling out tinubu these bunch of losers are there to sing "we warn you" ... so we must defend ourselves and if that is tantamount to defending BAT why not

We don't fight him you accuse us of not joining you to fight him...

We fight him you accuse us of fighting him...

Don't you see you people don't know what you want, same reason why people could support Buhari for 8 Years and fought people like us for him and called him the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria only to now start claiming that he is a big failure after he had done the whole damage...

Yeah ! Obedient are forces against BAT, however fight get diffferent motive .. what Obedient are fighting Tinubu for is stolen mandate and painment there daddy lose election
What Agbadorians are reprimanding Tinubu for is a call for a better Nigeria.
stolen mandate fight and better Nigeria are clearly not the same, that enough clarity we are objective and their is goal

The question is what do Obedient stand to gain fighting for Peter OBi when there own life sef need blood tonic

So if Obidients motive is for stolen mandate and then his supporters are still fighting him for using the stolen mandate to deliver bad governance to his supporters, so what is good about Tinubu?

If his own supporters who should at least be enjoying the mandate he claims he stole for them are still fighting him for punishing them with the mandate?

Is it not a justification that obidients are right about him?

Tinubu is like a thief that claims to steal for his family but squander the money on prostitues, clubs and drinks while leaving his family to starve and suffer..


If he had a good side at least his supporters would have been rejoicing by now instead of staging protest.

It is like seeing a thief's family coming out to protest to the people the thief stole from that he is not taking care of them....

Doesn't it sound funny and abnormal to you?

And you are expecting us to look at you guys to be really normal?

It's the English language that the British used to solidify all the fake countries they created around the world.

France used their language French. Portugal used Portuguese. Spain used Spanish.

That's why all former European colonies speak the language of their colonial masters.

If we went back to our native languages after independence, there won't have been any civil war. The configuration of Nigeria would have been completely different and natural too.

The only way to break up the country is through war.

what are you saying? Do we have a general Nigerian language? What language do you want us to go back to that is generally considered as a lingua franca in all parts of Nigeria? When you remove English what you will have left is our native languages which would further broaden the huge differences between us.
I don't know about other countries that the English colonised but it wasn't English language that was used to "solidify" Nigeria as a nation, it was balance sheet ( financial account) that was used to create Nigeria. Prior to 1914,; there were 2 countries and 1 colony namely: The Southern Protectorate of Nigeria, the Northern Protectorate of Nigeria and The Colony of Lagos. There 3 entities were completely separate from eachother in terms of Administration, Finance, Educational system, religion and Commissioners ( Lugard was commissioner of northern Protectorate of Nigeria while Moore was the commissioner of southern Protectorate of Nigeria) . We are merged under an already faulty configuration just to balance the books, nothing more nothing less and the civil war was an inevitability because we were not one, aren't one and can never be one. English language had nothing to do with the war, the Easterners who were massacred in the north and Benue state weren't killed because they were unable to speak English or spoke better English more than their supposed countrymen it was because of their Ethnicity. The coup that started the war is tagged an "Igbo coup" because the one who led it was an Igbo man and not because he spoke better English language than the average northerners of that time.

The Amalgamation was a huge injustice on humanity and unless it's undone every other thing one does is just cosmetics. If you want to take a huge step towards stopping neo-colonialism then breaking up this country is the first and major step to take.

Isn't that what you want? Why are you scared to bring your own desire to fruition?

But, then, that's a rhetorical question. The problem is that we don't understand causation.

Whether you understand it or not, the language given to former European colonies is the major thing holding the countries together. It was the fear of broadening "the huge differences between us "that Britain gave us one language, one system of education, one God. Remove that and you'll have no country.

we call out the govt so they can sit up, how is that a call for obedient to show there pathetic heads to bleat we warn you ... goats

Tinubu is a thieve but your daddy wasted 6month in court to take selfies nd he proved nothing,

My words that you bolded were highlighting the loopholes in your argument that suggests that without English language we would have been more united and there wouldn't have been a civil war, That's preposterous whichever way you want to slice it.
I think... I think you really need to go check out those other countries that Britain colonized and see the difference between them and Nigeria . India, North America (USA and Canada), South Africa, Ghana , Egypt, Palestine, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Cyprus, Singapore etc were All mostly Homogeneous, of the same kind and very few of them adopted English as their official language while most of them didn't. India, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Singapore , Kuwait and the gulf states all adopted their native languages as the official language and that's because they were mostly Homogeneous (same people). In all of these countries were held together not because of English language but because they were homogeneous, it had nothing to do with language.

You seem to erroneously think that the British had any intentions to unite the people together during the colonial era. They weren't! Their interest in the "Territory around the Niger Area"(which was the original name that was given to this place) did not extend beyond the length of the penny.
Here's what Sir George Taubman Goldie, the father of Nigeria and the one who gave it it's name and designed the conquest of northern Nigeria and the Amalgamation, had to say concerning the difference between north and south.... " the two COUNTRIES are as widely separated in laws, governments, customs, and general ideas about life, both in this life and next , as England is from China ".
The British didn't give us one Language, one system of education and one God . They never did any of those my dear, English language was actually only the administrative language of the colonial masters, it was never intended to be the common language of the protectorates. It was the missionaries that expanded the English language in the South through Western education, the north and south had very different educational systems, in the South you have Western schools ( mission schools) where the students were taught Western education and Christianity) while in the north you have Mallam schools which focused mainly on Quranic studies and recitations, the vocational school, their educational system avoided disrupting the local culture so they only focused on religion, Arabic instructions, native modes of dressing, sanitation and local customs. the Northern educational systems was the direct opposite of the system in the South, They were never the same. In fact Lugard vehemently opposed and cordoned off the missionaries from brining the western education to the Northern Protectorate, even the Northern locals rejected western education because if was brought by the missionaries who propagated a different faith and conversion.
In fact, Lugard and some other British colonial administrators disliked the effect western education had on Nigerians they abhorred the confidence it gave natives and the assumption among educated Nigerians that their western credentials and ability to speak English placed them in a position of equality with their white colonial masters. Here's what Lugard wrote in his diary with great irritation "the self assurance and importance of these anglicised blacks is beyond calculation". He was also appalled to discover on one occasion that educated Africans were allowed "a tent and some European stores". He made sweeping generalisation about Africans based on pseudo science, e.g he believed that West education made Africans 'less fertile, more susceptible to lung trouble and to other diseases, and to defective dentition '.. These are not words and actions of someone who wanted you to gain western education.

And what do you mean that the British gave us one God? That's the most preposterous claims I've come across on the internet. You're saying that the British introduced the North to Allah and Mohammad? Are you kidding me? Allah and Mohammad have been in the north hundreds of years before mungo park found the river Niger.

Nigerians looking for deeper meaning for the creation of the country would be disappointed to find out that there was NONE. Nigeria's existence is little more than the outcome of balancing the colonial accounting books. Just as the British entry into Nigeria was motivated by economic reasons, so was it's Amalgamation into one country . In 1900 Britain created two countries with similar sounding names, the protectorate of Northern Nigeria and The Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. For 14 years these two countries were separately governed by different high commissioners. Lugard was the British high commissioner for Northern Protectorate and Sir Ralph Moor was his counterpart in the South. The two countries had different colonial personnel, legal system, land tenure laws, educational policies and system of government. But the duplication of finances and personnel in running two separate colonies in the same area was an impediment to administrative efficiency and the need for British colonies to be self financing made Amalgamation a priority for the British. Northern Nigeria was running on a deficit, they were land locked and having no coastline they received no customs duties like the South Protectorate. As a result the British treasury paid grants-in-aid to Northern Nigeria totalling over £4million in the 14 years of it's existence, these were none refundable payments rather than loans. Such dependency could not continue and even though Lugard tried to raise revenue by imposing tax on Northern Nigeria It still amounted to very little.

As early as 1904 Lugard argued :
" Northern Nigeria is as yet largely dependent on a grant in aid .... I feel myself that economy can only be effected by the realisation of Mr. Chamberlain 's original scheme of amalgamating Northern and Southern Nigeria and Lagos into one single administration. It is only in this way that Northern Nigeria, which is the hinterland of the two,can be properly developed, and economies introduced into the triple machinery which at present exists..."

I do agree with you on the fact that we're still experiencing colonialism on another form ( neo colonialism) but I disagree on the solution which you have postulated which I view to be nothing more than a cosmetic solution which will only hide the problem. I do strongly believe that disintegration is the only way to break out from the colonialism, a solution that most people would rather shy away from but has always Faced us in every decade in this country's existence. From 1960 to this very moment their have never been a decade when this subject does not arise.

You got me completely wrong!!

I said without one language, one system of education, one God given to former European colonies, all the fake countries created by Europeans around the world would have naturally disintegrated back to their ancestral original selves after colonialism.

You may need to re-read from my first post because I am not really saying something different than you but you guys don't just understand that there are better ways to get the job done. But it would take time to come to fruition.
