The enemies of the people wants you to protest against your state Governors. Before you do that they should provide answers to the following questions so that we'll know the states we will take our protests to: Which state governor removed fuel subsidy? Which state government controls the Nigerian military and security? Which state controls Nigerias crude oil sells and economic policies? Which state government controls monetary and fiscal policies? What about interest rate? Is it determined by Borno state government or abia state government? 3 Likes |

Why can't your charity begins from home. States have been receiving almost double FAAC monthly money for almost a year now what exactly have they done with the money? States have bene given power to generate their own electricity, which excuses have they been coming up with? Why should you be chasing rats when your roof is on fire |

The Federal Government of Nigeria is making strides in various sectors. It's important to focus our energies on state leadership for real change. |

Re: Protest Against Your State Governors Not The Federal Government! by helinues: 2:21pm On Jul 21 |
shortgun: Your questions are irrelevant. The state governor should be the primary focus before the FG. Infact the senators, HOA, State assembly even come before the governor |

I was posted to serve in a village called igodan close to igbokoda in okitipupa ondo state without my consent! hundreds of kilometers away from my home state. I endured lack of basic amenities, contacted toilet infection from the use of pit toilet and walked long distances everyday because I am a Nigerian and the constitution mandates that I serve the country! So many other people from my state and other states were not so lucky to return with their lives. I've lost close relatives who served in the military to Boko haram in the north. I can't go through all that pain to educate children who are not my relatives for free and you will wake up one morning and tell me to go back to my home state if I want to protest. Dem no born you well! 1 Like |

helinues:You really need to take out time and study the constitution of Nigeria. Every Nigerian in any part of Nigeria is home according to the constitution. I have the constitutional right to demand for good Governance in any part of Nigeria including from the federal government. Why is it so hard for people like you to comprehend that 1 Like |

shortgun: Economic illiterate and Taqiyah zombie, let's take the major problem of Nigeria today that is number one i.e cost of food and hunger related to food insufficiency and unaffordability. If most governors had even used 3% of total land available to them in their State to declare and fund agricultural revolution 8 months ago, would some harvest yield not be our reality today that would currently be alleviating food insufficiency and high cost? Lagos State proactively launched her 5 year agriculture road map in 2021 in response to food blockade blackmail from the North. How may Governor proactively joined that effort of Sanwo Olu back despite the North putting us on standby then that they are ready to always blackmail and sabotage with food to get their ways? Many States in the South, rather than depend on the North alone, can partner with the Netherlands, with arguably the most specialist knowledge and experience of livestock farming in the world, to aggressively set up commercial livestock farms for Cattle, Pigs, Chicken etal. Go to most cold store today in Lagos and they will tell you they are mainly currently reliant on chicken supplied from Obasanjo farms. Why won't that pathetic reality, that no well-led State should allow to endure, not become a serious challenge in testing times? Fuel subsidy, now creating a transport crisis, it had to go. Full stop. As a consequence, Governors have substantially more to spend than they did before via increased allocation. I refer to the quote from Gustavo Petro i.e "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation". In simple terms, petrol price would not be an issue if Nigeria had competent Governors who prioritise the development of transport infrastructure and attach utmost importance to the creation of optimally effective public transport. What better time than now for our Governors to unite and work on good public transport infrastructure for their States and the partner with other governors and the FG over modular link to interconnect other Nigerian States and effectively the whole of Nigeria? If they need research material they can get the literature of the SW DAWN initiative , dating back to 2013, that outlines how effective public transport infrastructure, extended to link all States of the SW, can spur accelerated growth and development as seen worldwide and minimise dependence on fossil fuel, improve our carbon footprint etal. I could go on all day with other example of pivotal contributions Governors can make to ease the current burden of Nigerians. If the Governors are committed development partners of the FG, they would be doing more because they, most of all, should understand the long-term economic soundness of the reforms of Tinubu they should be doing all in their power to support Nd ensure the success of. Abeg you people should really stop the juvenile reasoning that makes it obvious you want blame focused on the FG and Tinubu alone so you can keep pushing for regime change. There is plenty Governors have the power and latitude to do while reforms of the FG, causing pain in the short term, gain traction and effectiveness to turn Nigeria around for good and begin our march towards developed nation status. A lot of you are worthless human resources, unlike what many nations of the world have at their disposal, but you just don't see that about yourselves. 1 Like

TopBanter:All this long epistle is not necessary, Tinubu has failed to provide security for farmers to return to their farms. State governments have no authority over any security agencies in any part of the country. If Tinubu does not provide security for farmers; a responsibility which only the office of the president can perform. How will farmers return to their farms? For someone who claims to be educated, isn't it obvious that common sense is very far from you? |

Instead of them to go and protest in there erosion villages, they prefer to burn down infrastructures in other people place. Bitter people everywhere |

The protest should be directed at the federal government. Is it the state Governors that increased fuel price or are they the ones that decided to float the naira? On the part of my state Governor Godwin Obaseki, he has done his own part to cushion the effect of the APC maladministration by ensuring regular payment of salaries to civil servants and pensioners. He has also demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of his people by increasing minimum wage to 70k while also sustaining the free bus ride in the state. Tinubu only agreed to pay 70k minimum wage few days ago when it became clear that Nigerians are gearing up for a national protest. 1 Like |
