Is the solution found in comparing a country less than us? The reference that has been made to Kenya and the rest of them, they are smaller countries to Nigeria. We are a giant of Africa, we must provide a solution that is better, sustainable and lasting,” Mr Kalu said

^^^


This is the kind of 'nonsense' talk that has put Nigeria in the straitjacket she is trapped in.

An empty, inexplicable arrogance that flies in the face of reality.

No temperance in thought or speech. No humility, no introspection, nothing.

The good thing is that reality doesn't care what the Benjamin Kalus of this world think or say about it. All, and I mean all the nationalist rhetoric in the world will not erase some harsh, sad truths about the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Kalu's empty bragging will not change the fact that nowadays Nigeria is always in the running for the poverty capital of the world. Nigeria doesn't have food security. She doesn't have energy security. Nigeria doesn't have...security, full stop.

But Kalu and those who think like him believe Nigeria is better than "Kenya and the rest of them, those smaller countries".

Delusions.

Direct that warning to the government to do the right thing.

The sort of protests that may turn violent are never planned, there are mostly as a result of the public's spontaneous reaction to an event. The planned protests would be very peaceful.

GroupLeader7:

Peaceful protest with empty belle, a hungry man is an angry man, so one cannot vouch for you.

complains- they are ok with Nigerians

starving to death- what an evil administration

I will be waiting for any idiot that will want to hide under protest to destroy or loot my property. They will definitely meet their Waterloo. No gree for any bastard.

Which of them, Federal, States, or Local Governments?

Tinubu hike fuel price from N200 to N750, lawmakers did not hear the people's cries.

Tinubu devalue Naira from N450 to Dollar to N2,000 to Dollar , lawmakers remain deaf to Nigerians' complaints of hardships being imposed on them.

Tinubu hike the price of food and transport whilst paying politicians and officials hundreds of billions of Naira as gifts and bribes still lawmakers did not respond to the suffering of the populace.

Nigerians groan as electricity power grid collapse as bills rose at the same time that Tinubu is replacing his fleet of presidential airplanes at costs that may run into trillions of Naira. Lawmakers remained unmoved.

Nigerian youths who are left unemployed and out of school from the destroyed Nigerian economy decide to organize a protest to sack Tinubu and all of a sudden lawmakers are having sleepless nights and trying to lecture them about the dangers of protesting

I doubt the youths would hear the lawmakers words .

Why are they warning us?

Bullocks!

Inosky:
they're afraid, yet that doesn't stop them from collecting sitting allowance and impoverishing Nigerians, destroying Destinies of young Nigerians. I see many of them flying out of the country with their families on the days of the protest

All escape routes will be blocked.

We are waiting for you on the streets, as a matter of fact, the federal government will be happy to have you on the streets. This is a very good population control strategy, lazy youths will be reduced by as much percentage as are lazy and foolish enough to storm the streets. None of you will be allowed to escape

phemray:


It will not affect them, they only scared of the people that will die and properties that will be looted. At the end , Lawmakers will approved fund to fix the destruction while some arrested will face the court. 12hrs curfew at 7pm to 7am will be declared.

Lol keep playing. You think it's the regular protest. I thought so too initially. You have no idea of what is coming.

Mumu talk.

I insist that the redemption that Africa needs will not come from Nigeria, let those countries lesser than the so called 'giant' do the talking and at the same time do the walking, Nigerians are quite comfortable with the status quo.

😂😂😂😂

As a very concerned Nigerian, I feel the pains a lot of nigerians are going through currently as a result of the polices adopted by the government of Tinubu. However, I will not support any protest at this very point in time owing to the fact that there is nothing the government can do in the immediate to resolve the situation we are in right now. Protesting with the present state of hunger might be a recipe for disaster.

Don't go out and hustle,be hiding in ya cave at ogbomosho and be blaming Igbos for your weak e.rection.


Efulefu!

Let government reduce the cost of governance as one of the condition to stop the protest.

Useless parasites!who is instigating d fuel price increase,high taxation,high electricity tarrif,high cost of foodstuffs.... instead of them to scrap their bogus allowances.

Goodvibes007:
They were looting and burning. The locals started organizing vigilantes to beat the protesters.

I wrote about this same thing earlier today. The so-called Gen Z inspired protests in Kenya against President Ruto have led to the horrendous widespread looting of private businesses and arsons on goverment buildings. This is exactly what happened during EndSARs and more in 2020.

Now, there's no way any protests in Nigeria will be any peaceful as it would be hijacked as usual just like the EndSARs leading to massive lootings of shopping malls, killings, and rapes of women, etc just like it happened in 2020 especially in Lagos. A robust intelligence and security framework must ensure that violent protests by fifth columnists and highly impressionable young ones never takes place especially in the highly volatile Lagos State (where all the protests right from the 1989 anti-SAP riots during Gen. Ibrahim Babangida's military dictatorship which some of us who were alive as of 1989 experienced) witnessed violence, lootings and more.

CNG trucks and buses must be rapidly deployed to major cities in Nigeria so as to crash the cost of wholesale and retail food items and drugs, the cost of transportation will also reduce thereby taking the financial burden off the shoulders of those folks who CANNOT meet their daily financial obligations due to hyperinflation. Period.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but China's solution for corruption was execution...

They still have problems, however:

ObiORBiafra:
We are going to replicate the Kenya riot in Southea st Nigeria and there's nothing that you lawmakers can do about it

You coward won't dare

Your scared soul has never been to the east let alone coming to east to cause violence.

You wouldn't dare else, we both know how the story gonna end for you. If you disagree, try, I'm in Anambra...
Come and be fed to the dogs coward

You admit there is "hardship" you acknowledge people have the right to protest but you ended it with there are instigators and leaders that needs to be detained for interrogation .. are we fools

These politicians and govt appointees are so unbelieveable .. with the height of hunger in the land if not that Nigerians are èran-iya ... should we even be fixing a date to protest something wey suppose don start
one egg #200, and these useless politicians/govt plan of ameliorating hardship is to share rice that will be diverted and share to APC strong members in local govt, they must loot anything

They propose to lift ban on grains and suspend duties buh they are deliberately stalling cos there source of joy is to see Nigerians queue at there gate for stipends,

One day stammerer will call baba full ... if una do well, una no go dey jittery naw

One by one dem don dey fear .

No Igbo should join this protest!

Nice one
U finish wrk here

ReubenE:
There is something about most Nigerians and the leaders. Always quick to use wrong things happening elsewhere as a baseline to justify their incapacity over here. Always selective in comparing Nigeria to what is big or small elsewhere depending on the magnitude of the sh*t they created here.

When comparing oil prices, Nigeria is never too big to be compared to oil prices in small Ghana in volume of production and abundance.
They say Borno is bigger than Belgium that's why it is not possible for them to secure the forests of Borno. But you'll never see them compare Nigeria to the likes of Russia that is 17 times bigger than Nigeria or the US that is 9 times bigger than Nigeria that their forests are secured.

Now, Nigeria is big and Kenya is small. But you'll never see the same corrupt band of leaders compare Nigeria to the big countries of the world that good things are happening.

And Hon. Fatima needs to be properly counseled. She's only interested in arresting protesters rather solving the reasons for the mass agitation.
If in her view it is some people that are "INSTIGATING" the protest. Who is instigating the mass hunger and general hopelessness that's ravaging Nigeria presently.
