The demands come ahead of the planned 'Days of Rage' protests, scheduled to take place from late July to August 2024.

Omoyele Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow, has released a list of 14 demands from Nigerians to President Bola Tinubu's administration, aimed at addressing the country's governance challenges.

The demands, published on Sowore's social media account, are a result of inputs from Nigerians participating in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria campaign. The demands come ahead of the planned 'Days of Rage' protests, scheduled to take place from late July to August 2024.

He said, “So far, these are the commonest but fundamental demands from those who have responded to pursuing a general set of DEMANDs to #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria for the Days of Rage revolt scheduled for the end of July until August 2024.”

According to Sowore, the 14 demands are:

“1. Scrap the 1999 Constitution and replace it with a People-made CONSTITUTION for the Federal Republic of Nigeria through a Sovereign National Conference to be immediately followed by a National Referendum.

“2. Toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian Legislative System, keep the House of Representatives (HOR), and make lawmaking a part-time endeavour.

“3. Pay Nigerian Workers a minimum wage of nothing less than N250,000 monthly.

“4. Invest heavily in education and give Nigerian students grants, not loans. Aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria.

“5. Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and demilitarize the South East.

“6. Renationalise publicly owned enterprises sold to government officials and cronies.

“7. Reinstate a corruption-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.

“8. Probe past and present Nigerian leaders who have looted the treasury, recover their loot, and deposit it in a special account to fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

“9. Restructuring of Nigeria to accommodate Nigeria’s diversity, resource control, decentralisation and regional development.

“10. Reforms of Security Agencies to stop continuous human rights violations and duplication of security agencies and enhance the physical security of Nigerian citizens.

“11. Establish a Special Energy Fund immediately to drive massive, corruption-free power sector development.

“12. Immediate Reconstitution of the Nigerian Electoral Body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks appointed to manipulate elections.

“13. Massive investment in public works and industrialisation will help employ Nigeria’s teeming youths.

“14. Massive shake-up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of judges and judicial officers that continue denying everyday citizens access to real justice.”

Sowore has declared the 'Days of Rage' protests to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the 2019 #RevolutionNow demonstration. He is urging nationwide mobilisation and calling for people to join the movement.

Protest is not by state of origin....one can decide to join protest in his state of residence or place of residence.You guys brings in tribe and division in everything.When Tinubu and Soyinka plus Buhari was protesting did you ask them to back to their states and protest?

Goodvibes007:
Days of Rage protest - business owners should prepare for looting and arson.

No need for rage. Make we just divide the country peacefully will be the best option.

∆ So you are just realizing that after over 50 years when Igbos told you people and left peacefully only to wage war against them to bring them back...
I have said this earlier, you guys might beg to divide this country at some point which I'm already seeing in bits...

mrvitalis:
Very Vogue and empty mostly unrealistic demands...

So wore Tinubu boy wants to derail this protest

Zxcvbnmghtr:


Tinubu na strategist sha. See as NLC sef don calm down so tay dem give Baba three gbosa.
Mark my words, nothing tangible will come out of all this noise making.

Kobojunkie:
Igbos agitating for separation are themselves as divided as Nigeria is today.

mrvitalis:

I just laugh at you guys supporting tinubu no wam

North would take over after 8 years and their president would make things worse too and they would defend it

Then minimum wage would be 25 dollars a month

Do I need to remind you that if not for Azikiwe, an Ibo man, we would not have a country called Nigeria today. Not once, but twice, did he ensure that Nigeria remained one Nigeria.

- 1st was via debating for the non inclusion of the seperation clause.
- 2nd was when Ahmadu Bello threatened to pull the north away from Nigeria if it's party is not allowed to form a government in the 1st republic.
- Bonus: Azikiwe was even against Biafria war and from London, he was going after foreign power like France to stop funding Ojukwu's rebels.

Brendaniel:
■ Even if your statement is true Are the Igbos complaining like the Nigeria tribes are complaining of staying together ?
