You are wrong, it didn't turn violent, because it was not hijacked by IPOB or disgruntled politicians like Atiku, Obi or Sowore. The organisers were also not faceless, they were in Ojota, at the scene of the protest, not in Dubai, on Twitter, Facebook and Tiktok, to insight violence. Though, GEJ was everything despicable, but a violent man.

Occupy Nigeria protest was about the price of petrol.

The increment was done in a new year period

Labor union and Trade union joined

It's different from protest that has no head or tails

If the protest couldn't have been held from last year till the new minimum wage was negotiated, then what exactly is this protest about?
With your comment " Protest that has no head or tails" I start to wonder where you got your stupidity from. Did you learn it or inherited it.

No. During GEJ, the protest was not about hunger and hike in petrol and commodity prices but just to grasp power by all means. That's why it was peaceful.

But this time around is the opposite. It's all about hunger and hike in prices not to wrest power from Tinubu.

And you know, when people are hungry and they don't have what to eat..... expect aggression and violence approach just to survive.

Look at Lions they have teeths and fangs; when lions are not hungry, they play with teeths and fangs and when they are hungry they use the same teeths and fangs to attack each other.


#Time to eat the Rich#
Wrong
The protest was about subsidy removal, if you have forgotten, I can show you receipt. Internet no dey forget

Gej tenure wasn't eldorado either, naira to dollar hit N200 for the first time in his tenure

Bombing n kidnapping in the North alongside religious killings

The man is a classical example of putting square peg in round holes. Always doing things from the left. The first gift this man gave to Nigerians was to remove subsidy on his inauguration day & that very decision is foundation of all the economic mess we are facing today...The man is not smart to be very honest. Buhari govt was not this bad!


I agree, you claimed you met bad economy, agreed, a good administrator will then study the status of the bad economy before making an economic decisions not even on a sensitive things like fuel that's 70% of Nigeria revenue



Those former president that didn't remove subsidy he thought they're dumb, unfortunately things can't get back to where he met it, he can only savage it except some project will be suspended and fuel will be heavily subsidize to bring it to #300 while reduce import duty tax on food to control the inflation


Deregulation of petroleum price skyrocketed the inflation of items, he's not in control of this country economy presently and those his appointees are neophyte in a large administration of a country like Nigeria

At Abuja, Dino Melaye and several other people were arrested. Also, in 2014 when Dino Melaye led another protest against procurement of Armoured vehicles, a pro government protesters clashed with his group, his group was manhandled.

You cannot compare the situation of occupy Nigeria with the present situation, Occupy Nigeria protest against subsidy removal when Nigeria was selling crude at high Price and our daily consumption was very low, our debt was very low, daily oil output was around 2 million barrel per day and the government inherited a robust economy from Obasanjo with foreign reserve and other investment estimated around $60 billion.

More importantly, there was no security report of disgruntled Political Campaign or groups planning to hijack the protest to undemocratically effect a change of government or report of tribal group selected attack on government properties and selected individuals properties as witnessed in Lagos during end SARS protest.

Also, different groups that are fully prepared to protect government properties, traditional institutions and selected individuals properties at their respective States may collide together.

How many places experienced issues during endsars protest?

Why do you want to protest?
Are you been owed salary?
Did your customer pay money into your account and Nigeria Government removed it?
Do you think anybody will be giving you free money because you have protested?

He needs to do the bold, else his govt is going to be sth else. Before the end of 4 years fuel will be selling for around 3k, inflation is going to be extremely bad & I fear if people can cope. Those around him are not even advising him because of their selfish interest.

Didn't turn violent cause it took place mainly in the SW and the saboteurs couldn't do much

Plus, the protest had elites and highly ranked personalities who are peace-loving and sane

To put this in a better context, it had almost none-Eastern person at the forefront, the last that had one, EndSars, ended in turmoil

Seun you need to do something about this moniker. This incitement is getting to much for cyberpeace and most incitements is always by this moniker. I'm Yoruba, but this is not healthy at all.

Yorubas have single handedly destroyed Nigeria, the whole world and the rest of Nigerians can see it already, thank God we are in the era of social media where every Nigerian can see the truth unveiling before our very own eyes, so Yorubas wont have the chance to come back tomorrow to use media lies and propaganda to change the truth we are witnessing today like they always do in the past. Yorubas are currently in charge of everything in Nigeria, from President to CBN Governor to Finance Minister to Chief Justice of Nigeria to Attorney General to Chief of Army staff, to Police IG, to Customs Comptroller to Immigration comptroller to EFCC Chairman to FIRS, to virtually all sectors of Nigeria, so Yorubas cannot come tomorrow and lie as usual that it wasn't them that destroyed Nigeria.



Anybody advising Yorubas to shun tribalism is wasting his or her time talking to Yorubas to quit tribalism.


Yoruba elites including this looting criminal pretending to be President organized a protest against Goodluck Jonathan's government for removing petrol subsidy, nobody tagged that their Ojota protest a Yoruba protest.


But take a look at what Yorubas have turned Nigerian politics into ever since Peter Obi came out to contest for Presidency, the first time majority of Igbos stood behind an Igbo Presidential candidate even in an unpopular party yet Yorubas saw it as a big threat that they had to turn the whole campaign era till election to a tribal war but they forgot all the years Igbos have been massively campaigning and voting Yoruba Presidential candidates, from MKO Abiola they always lied that Igbos did not vote for to Obasanjo they claimed that Igbos did not vote but voted PDP.


These demon possessed Yorubas have succeeded in rigging in their drug Lord as President yet they cannot focus and help their failing criminal brother to govern well instead they are still stuck on attacking Igbos, playing opposition even when the Presidential power, army, Police, EFCC, CBN, Finance, Immigration, Customs, etc are in their hands, and you say they are not cursed?


If you don't know who the demon is, take a closer look at an average Yoruba man, especially one that ventures into politics, only few Yorubas are exceptional human beings, the rest of them are demonic liars, unreliable backstabbers, betrayers and cunning in nature.



Below is 1993 Presidential election result showing how Igbos massively voted MKO Abiola they always lie that Igbos did not vote for, very demon possessed tribe angry
You're right. Fear those people.

Helinues, yarimo, Jonathan is far better than tinubu and buhari, but guys hated him.

You even still defend the same buhari and tinubu till today.

I'm certain you are doing this for your stupid religion. Religion that supports backwardness. A shame of a religion.

It means Muslims will pick an irresponsible Muslim over a sensible Christian any day. In Islam, religion stupidity always comes before common sense.

Well! People around him won't get the blame at the end, the blame will be Tinubu led fg


The truth is Tinubu had vindicated people that called him A capitalist and he's living to that title, I mean how can price of goods increase over 300% and what a president will be telling people to calm down instead of telling his economic teams to buckle up and find every alternative to tense things down till a full recovery


Money that he would have used to subsidize the fuel more was used on grant that was still repackaged and sold while the rest are only gotten by his party members, average Nigerians in the street didn't even get the grants


I mean why do we use problem to make solution impossible to be solved. Grants release that I believe is enough to subsidize for fuel is used to settle party members


Nigeria political system is not designed for development and to average Nigerians, it was designed or should I say redesigned to make the elites and capitalist continue getting rich. Nigeria political system is elites-favour political system

No manner of protest will change the wicked mind. Most of the organizers have visas & dual citizenship. When the protest gets out of hand they will join thesame politicians they are fighting in thesame airplane and japa to thesame countries while the poor & hungry will beer the after math of the carnage that may ensue.
