Wise People. Please Proffer A Solution Aside Protest. by FRANCISTOWN: 7:12pm On Jul 29
One thing I know is that: my view is not the only valid way of viewing life and reality.

•I believe violence can only be subdued by more violence.
•Madness can only be cured by madness
•Evil can only be cured by more evil.
•You have to be more shameless to beat the shameless.
•Widsom conquers wisdom.
•Attack before you are attacked.
•Wisdom doesn't tie logs of firewoods. A rope does.
•There is no shortcut to a palm tree, you must descend the way you ascend.

Evil is highly prevalent and vehemently persistent that it takes an even more evil to annihilate evil.

I do not believe this protest will achieve anything, but I will reference the words of the Late Obafemi Awolowo(Baba ikene).

He said "A time will come when the masses will start to violently take what belongs to them from the polithiefcians, until then. The masses will keep suffering" -(translated, not verbatim)

Until the same thing that we heard happened in Ghana happens in Nigeria. We are still bunch of jokes.
Until Nigerians are ready to go dangerously violent. Our leaders would think we are only rehearsing. By the time some polithiefcians' kids start disappearing for no reason, waking up to headlines like[b]"so so polithiefcians' houses are burning down from unknown causes."[/b] That's when the revolution y'all clamour for will come to you.

In my own opinion, only a greater violence,"pata pata laa foju, kumo kumo laa dete. Oju afoo fotan, ija lon dasile" can save Nigeria.

Imagine if there had not been the October 5th 1789 Bread Riot in France. There wouldn't have been one of the most significant events of the French Revolution.
Freedom is not given, it is taken.

To the "wise" people of Nairaland who believe that there are other ways aside protests and riots. Please speak out. Lemme learn something new today.

Mynd44 , fergie001 , nlfpmod . We need intelligent submissions on this thread. Kindly move to the appropriate position. Thanks

I no vote.
I wasn't available during the election.

Some people believe we should dialogue with the government. What do you say about that?

Government doesn’t dialogue from the angle of strength and Tinubu is a stone heart. How many times have he met with Labour how committed is he to the plight of workers. I’m not protecting but Tinubu needs to be spoken to in the language he understands.

I think the mistake most of us are making is thinking this protest is channeled towards Tinubu. We should be able to see more than our bigotry. The protest is channeled towards the entire government of different parties.

The protest is about hunger and starvation, it's not about ending one government for the other.

Well Tinubu has taken a crucial step in ensuring functioning refineries are supplied crude oil and they’re billed in naira. I just pray and hope this is not another audio move.

Next step is if the government can subsidise the cost of foodstuffs across major markets in Nigeria. I think Lagos state has a model in place for that. But I’m thinking something more radical and impactful in the short term.

Tinubu’s iyaloja daughter has a key role to play here. If she has the contact of major market heads across the country, mobilise them to organise themselves such that the current stock of commodities is purchased by the government or subsidised by the government, then announce the revised prices. This will kill the current tension overnight.

Next, massive importation of grains and essential commodities for the next 3-6 months to keep prices down.

In the same time frame, intensify efforts to deal with the bandits ravaging farmlands.

Nigeria should be okay within 9 months barring any climate change catastrophe such as drought or flood.

For me

*On security especially kidnapping...use drones and technology to fight the bandits

* on education* tinubu did well so far on d student loan

* on electricity: we don't know who did it..but it really improved..

* on fuel cost and transportation: find a way to Mk Dangote get crude ,refine nd supply us..

* on transportation: bring in state actors to join the private sector in competition on transportation...private monopoly is I king cost of transportation

* on high cost of house: government shld join the property market, nd rent or partly sell to ordinary Nigerians in installation, the private home owners are killing the people

* on hunger in the land: temporary do heavy food import and create centers like 5 in each LG to sell at subsidize rate to lessen the demand on private owned food stuff..that will fall its price...

In all, govt shld fight unionism and promote free market

Protesting is not the answer; it's just a way to create more chaos.

We’ve seen how protests have turned into a breeding ground for violence and destruction. Wise people know that dialogue and negotiation are the keys to progress, not marching in the streets shouting slogans.

The same old cycle of anger and frustration will only lead to more problems. Let's channel our energy into constructive solutions instead of this endless cycle of protests that achieve nothing but noise.

I'm sorry I do not believe in this because the president had too many years to prepare neither do I believe in the protest.
The only thing that can bring about revolution in this country is the annihilation of those who need to be annihilated.

You've in fact said reasonable things but the problem is that. The government will not effect these obvious reasonable tactics.

Then whatever happens is on them.

Intelligence reports were out as far back as Q2, 2023 warning the government of looming social unrest.

Too bad they took things for granted and left it too late.

Alternative that would stop all talk of protest is the immediate resignation of president.

Says an idiot.

As long as you protest in your region. You've got your southeast governors, go and face them or your useless self thought your southeast governors were elected as barbie to not proffer solution for your region? You dey craze?

Everyone should face their region as a matter of fact. The Northerners should go and hold Buhari by the ball because he was the one who mortgaged Nigeria oil while looting the money with his fellow criminal cronies such as his criminal nephew and Malami.

More reason why Nigeria can't continue in the unlawful useless unproductive military constitution thus must return back to Regionalism and Tinubu must take steps to working towards regionalism. Also Tinubu need to open the west border for more food supply and also, he need to mandate all the state governors to embark on large scale mechanized farming combined with agro industry and animal husbandry. It should be made mandatory for all the governors!

Do you know ASUU and other institutions have been dialoguing with the govt and they are still going on strike because the govt has refused to keep to Thier promise ? Do you really believe the Nigerian govt honour dialogue,! The only language they understand is protest like this . Just imagine the new minimum wage being signed within the speed of light .. look at NNPC job vacancy that has never been published for decades just suddenly popped up.. with other incentives the govt is trying to use to calm frayed nerves of the youth .
Nigeria govt don't understand peaceful dialogue.

If you are not biased you will understand that wisdom is devoid of sentiment. The interest of all, making sound judgement. I did not say you must vote Obi, but those who voted Tinubu given the way he’s turning out didn’t make wise choice. Are you considered wise if you can’t make a wise choice?
