It is no longer news that the protesters have publicized several demands and have not met to converge on what they want. Let us look at some of the demands.

(1) Scrapping of the 1999 constitution and replacement with a people-made constitution
If the constitution is scrapped, what would Nigeria be governed with? If they need a people-made constitution, where is their own manuscript for that constitution? Do they think a constitution is something that is just written like a homework?

This specific demand is a call for an interim government, and possibly military rule. Once the constitution is suspended, Tinubu ceases to be president because his powers as president are legitimized by the constituion.

(2) Toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian legislative system
There is no where, there is no constitution that gives President Tinubu or anyone the powers to scrap a part of any arm of government. This can only be done by the military. This specific demand also calls for military rule. The other demand to make legislative work part-time would require a constitutional amendment. Tinubu does not have the powers to make that amendment by fiat.

(3) Increase minimum wage of Nigerian workers to 250,000 naira monthly
This is something the president can do. Unfortunately, how many governors have been able to pay 30,000 naira monthly? How many can even pay 70,000 monthly, with the Gombe State governor already saying he won't be able to afford it? Thise who work in the public sector enjoy a lot of allowances, and lucrative trainings abroad and travelling. The salary is just what it is. There is a government agency that even gives all cadres of workers fuel allowance. Unfortunately, many states civil service won't be able to afford this. So 250,000 across board might not be accomplished and the president cannot be responsible for paying states' civil servants.

(4) Invest heavily in education and give students grants, not loans and compulsory education across Nigeria
Some public universities institute scholarships for bright students as far back as 20 years ago. Some universities take over the fees of students on track to first class. Many states have bursaries with which they support students. Agencies like TETFUND? NDDC and PTDF have consistently funded students within and outside Nigeria. I won't support giving grants to dullards. Let everyone win grants on merit as it has always been.

The protesters may not know that agencies like UBEC had tried to tackle the issue of compulsory education, but even after FG releases money, some states fail to pay their counterpart funding. fPresident Jonathan built some almajiri schools; what is the state of the schools today? In my view, each state can decide to deal with the problem of free and compulsory education on their own.

(5) Unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, demilitarization of the southeast and release and compensation of EndSARS protesters
Nnamdi Kanu's case is in court, why not allow the process to be seen to the end? As for demilitarization of the southeast, similar calls were made by Borno elders to former president Jonathan as they claimed the military was killing their children. Jonathan asked Borno elders to guarantee him they'd ensure an end to terrorism in their domain. They refused to assure him. It is the military that has ensured things have not become worse than they are right now.

As for unconditional release and compensation for all EndSARS protesters, are the protesters aware that some of those who claimed to be EndSARS protesters looted public properties and businesses? Are they calling for their release as well? In my view, those who committed crimes must be punished.

(6) Renationalize public enterprises sold to government officials and cronies
Would be nice to know the specific public enterprises and the government officials who purchased them. I am sure the protesters are not aware of OPL 245 and the Malabu scandal that has ruined Nigeria's chances of making good money from that lucrative oil well? Even if the assets were sold corruptly, it cannot be retrieved by fiat. There is a process that can drag for many years. Only the military or an autocrat can reverse things like this.

(7) Reinitiation of a corrupt-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.
This makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the same Nigerians will abuse the subsidy regime. Even the bags of rice that were donated, no matter how paltry; didn't some people attempt to rebag the rice to sell?

(8.) Probing the past and present Nigerian leaders who looted the treasury, recovering the loot and putting the funds in a special account to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure
In other words, Nigeria should spend years on litigation. How about block loopholes so that no one can loot again?

(9) Restructuring Nigeria to accommodate diversity, resource control decentralization and regional autonomy
This makes sense. Unfortunately, people from Mars will not be in charge of the regions. Look at NDDC that failed the Niger Delta people. Restructuring Nigeria will require a constitutional amendement and Tinubu cannot do it by fiat.

(10) End banditry and terrorism and violent crimes
Why was this not point number 1? This is something the president can and must do. Everyone must work with him on this. The parents of the bandits, kidnappers and terrorists must give up their children; the rogue businessmen, religious leaders and local politicians must give up their businesses and report their footsoldiers to the authorities. The era of "he must not kill our people" must stop. Terrorism has destroyed the peace in most states and must be dealt with decisively.

(11) Estabishing a special energy fund to drive investments in the power sector
Didn't Buhari sign a bill into law to allow states generate their own electricity? How many states have taken advantage of it? Didn't Nigeria also secure an energy development bank for Africa to be headquarted in Abuja recently to identify and develop Africa's energy sources? Of course, Nigeria will take advantage of this.

(12) Reconstitution of Nigeria's electoral body to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks
We have heard so much accusation of the INEC chairman being bribed and thereby compromising the election. How much was he given? How was the money paid? In which account was it deposited? We need to be careful the way we throw accusations to soil people's names.

(13) Massive investment in public works and industrialization to eploy Nigerians
Many among the youth publicly opposed the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway and sided with Landmark, despite his properties not adversely affected. We must all agree on what we want as a people.

(14) Massive shake up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generation of judges
Historically, the Nigerian Judicial Commission has destroyed many judges implicated for corruption. There was one hearing an elections petitions case and received a donation for his father's funeral from the defendant's lawyer, who was a SAN. They fired the judge and had the lawyer derobed of his SAN. Many judges have had their promotion stunted and dismissed. Because of the way the judiciary is, these things are not always in the press.

(15) Disapora voting
This is needed.

Another set of demands https://tribuneonlineng.com/full-list-12-demands-protest-organisers-want-tinubu-to-address/

1. Revert petrol pump price to N100/litre
2. Combat insecurity and hunger
3. Close all IDP camps and resettle the campers.
4. Total electoral reform
5. Independent probe into the electoral budget of N355 billion.
6. Immediate release of ENDSARS protesters still in detention
7. Implementation of living wage (minimum wage of N300k)
8. Compulsory free education from primary to secondary school.
9. Children of public school holders must attend public schools in the country.
10. Government must patronise made-in-Nigeria goods.
11. Transition to unicameral legislation.
12. Judicial and constitutional review

The only part I wish to address is the fuel price of 100 naira. To get oil from the ground, there needs to be exploration (usually seismic studies) which are very expensive, and if it is offsore, even worse because to keep a seismic vessel on the sea costs a lot. Then the data need to be analyzed with tools that are expensive. After that, geologists interpret the data and reservoir engineers come up with their models and estimates to predict if a prospect has commercial value. Once the team of experts agree to develop a prospect, drilling starts, which is another capital intensive venture. That is when they call in the likes of Schlumberger and Halliburton to come and drill. If they don't find oil, that is investment gone! If they find oil, it has to be extracted and taken to a refinery or sent to export terminals like we do in Nigeria. There is a cost of pushing the oil to the refinery. Once it gets to the refinery, they do their fractional distillation and separate components based on boiling points and density, treat the various components, store them and begin to transport them to the filling stations where you get your petrol, kerosene, cooking gas, etc. Some products like vaseline you rub on your body make it to stores.

What is my point?

To get 1 litre of fuel into your car, there are costs: (1) exploration cost, (2) production cost, (3) refining cost, and (4) landing cost. If you put in these costs, it would be suicidal to sell petrol at one hundred naira.

The corrupt subsidy regime in Nigeria is another matter that even the government has not successfully probed. Remember the chairman and members of the adhoc committee in the house of representatives ended up being implicated for corruption?

LITE UP my WEED in peace


WTF MAN!

Tinubu is the worse president on earth

Did I see increase of minimum wage to #250,000?
This list makes me question the seriousness of this protest. You guys are bunch of jokers.

Dele Momodu's demand is that President Tinubu kicks out deadwood imported from Lagos and merge some ministries to curb waste.

President Tinubu, I do think it is time for some ministers to go. Many of them cannot even tell us what their plans are; they keep talking about promises as if we are in campaign season. Last year, I advised each of them to get subject matter experts, brainstorm for three months, synergize their ideas in line with the party manifesto and come up with a 4-year development plan and start implementing it.

The message has been passed
Nigeria shall be great,but wait ooo,is Tinubu still in this country?abi hm do japa go Liberia?

I wonder if supporters of this government here on NL were among the anti protest 🤔. Maybe they're the true keyboard warriors 😋😋

Lol where u see Kanu inside the Protest Demand his people are not protesting for him na other people protesting cause of hunger will protest for him....


You people and attaching by force others should help you actualize what you couldn't actualize....

Unrealistic

The problem here is very obvious.

This is the manifesto of Omoyele Sowore.

The same Sowore who was rejected by over 22m Nigerian voters that prefered Tinubu, and Atiku, and Obi. Meanwhile, Sowore only won 14,000 votes.

If the people of Nigeria want what Sowore is proposing, simply vote Sowore in the next election.

Very simple matter.

Nonsense analysis


What you Af0njas fail to understand is that one dosen't meet these demands to #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria because if you view it that way, it'll seem impossible, rather, you #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria and these demands will be met without hurdles

It's interesting how some people think shouting in the streets will magically solve their grievances. These protesters need to understand that mere noise doesn't equate to progress. It seems they are just chasing shadows while the real issues remain unaddressed.

Okay

(15) Disapora voting
This is needed.

We need a lot to change in this country, including the citizens attitude. We all think making the country better is the duty of only the government

A lot of the protesters are confuse

You only ended up appealing to our emotions in your skewed analysis

May I respectfully tell you that your submissions are rubbish and you know it. You are a Tinubu aide uncloak yourself and defend him not pretentiously

Those guys wanted to overthrown Tinubu, they should be jailed... Wait , instead of government to pay subsdy again, I should better buy fuel 1million naira per litre... Hold your governor and the LG chairman, protest against them those crooks Nigeria would be like London.. FG has been doing very well..

Most of these demands you are analyzing here are fabricated by people like you who are working for Tinubu and trying to use propaganda to make a mockery of very dire and critical situations that have made men and women to leave their houses and protest. Adding Nnamdi Kanu in the list of demands is laughable seeing that protest is mostly driven by the Northerners and the SE and SS seeming reluctance to protest.
To even address some of your fabricated demands. What is happening in the Nigerian Judiciary does not need a prophet or soothsayer to tell you that nepotism and corruption have become the bane of that arm of government,there is no defense to explain how both Akpabio and Lawan are senators in this current chambers being that they didn't even contest their parties primaries. It is not the citizens job to hold the judiciary especially the corrupt one accountable but it is the job of chief security officer of the nation who happens to be Tinubu he has all the apparatus and resources to investigate and prosecute the corrupt judges.
As for INEC it is a shame that a 400 billion investment that the nation made for a specific reason and which was tested several times before the election suddenly conveniently failed to work on the main election day that was the main reason for the investment. It is almost two years from the election date has an independent investigator or even state investigators been contracted or commissioned to investigate what happened? Has EFCC probed and investigated INEC officials and found them to be innocent?

Speaking of fuel,removing subsidy on the first day in government is a recipe for disaster and he went ahead and made it, when you saw the untold hardship that came with it why not reverse the decision, according to you the protesters are demanding for fuel to be sold at 100 naira, but Labor demanded to be paid #250k but the government compromised and agreed to pay #70k why don't the government compromise and reduce fuel to 350 or even 400 naira?
The corruption in ministries and Incompetence of government aides and officials why is EFCC only arresting Yahoo boys and no successful prosecution of any politician in past couple of years.
The government could muster the this kind of force and resources to combat or thwart the proposed protesters but all this while that insecurity have been ravaging the whole nation why hasn't the government mobilized this kind of force against the criminals? What is the immediate solution for those in IDPs these are the cogent demands and why are there no firings in the security chiefs and NNPCL given their glaring ineptitude that is obvious for all to see? What of the depreciation of the naira? These are the real demands

Lastly it is a protest it is not war,they masses are only making their plights known they are telling the government where it is hurting them. It is now up to the president to address the nation and tell them how he intends to handle their plight the decisions and steps that the government is going to take to ameliorate the pains of the masses

NaijaCrusader:
Secondly

I hope you will vote Sowore as you have seconded his manifesto?

Or how do you explain that over 22million Nigerians voted for Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi, all of whom promised to remove oil subsidy?

Meanwhile, the candidate who promised not to remove oil subsidy only got over 14,000 votes in all of Nigeria.

sIfioksq:
It's interesting how some people think shouting in the streets will magically solve their grievances. These protesters need to understand that mere noise doesn't equate to progress. It seems they are just chasing shadows while the real issues remain unaddressed.

state as little as 2 of the real issues that a competent president cannot solve

Protesters and their endless demands, as if they think shouting will solve the country’s problems.

Nigeria needs solutions, not noise.

Also include a total ban on all GMO crops and products.
And more funding for agriculture.

Thank you so much for this analysis. I will share my thoughts with each point you have here.

emkz:
It is no longer news that the protesters have publicized several demands and have not met to converge on what they want. Let us look at some of the demands.

(1) Scrapping of the 1999 constitution and replacement with a people-made constitution
If the constitution is scrapped, what would Nigeria be governed with? If they need a people-made constitution, where is their own manuscript for that constitution? Do they think a constitution is something that is just written like a homework?

This specific demand is a call for an interim government, and possibly military rule. Once the constitution is suspended, Tinubu ceases to be president because his powers as president are legitimized by the constituion.

The idea is to use this first point as the momentum for achieving regional government. And for this to happen, the first casualty is the death of the 1999 constitution. This is the one single thing that must die before the referendum they have been calling for is achieved.

Again, this is ONLY point that can bring Igbos back to the drawing board. The North did not like it, but it looks like Bola Tinubu has eventually made them realise that, after all, it may be a good often for them. Now that they know food security may really supercedes oil and gas, the North seems to be in the game. Food security is the only option that can save Tinubu from this because the momentum will keep building up. Like I wrote earlier, I dont see this protest as the real big thing. This will definitely usher in many situations I have seen. This is a chess game. Lol. Making it number 1 is deliberate. You need to think well to see this. The same minds that pull down Jonathan Goodluck are at work. They are master strategist, only that the Tinubu arm isn't part of it. But considering the El-Rufai brilliant mind likely involvement, Tinubu should sit up. Mark my words this is a momentum builder.

(2) Toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian legislative system
There is no where, there is no constitution that gives President Tinubu or anyone the powers to scrap a part of any arm of government. This can only be done by the military. This specific demand also calls for military rule. The other demand to make legislative work part-time would require a constitutional amendment. Tinubu does not have the powers to make that amendment by fiat.

This is a deliberate attack on the Akpabio led senate that they know will not impeach the president. So, they need to throw punches to weaken them a bit. The idea is to give the senate headaches to face. They would rather start working hard to keep their jobs instead of using all their might to back the president. This is a strategic point to weaken part of the presidential defence. Think, bro!

(3) Increase minimum wage of Nigerian workers to 250,000 naira monthly
This is something the president can do. Unfortunately, how many governors have been able to pay 30,000 naira monthly? How many can even pay 70,000 monthly, with the Gombe State governor already saying he won't be able to afford it? Thise who work in the public sector enjoy a lot of allowances, and lucrative trainings abroad and travelling. The salary is just what it is. There is a government agency that even gives all cadres of workers fuel allowance. Unfortunately, many states civil service won't be able to afford this. So 250,000 across board might not be accomplished and the president cannot be responsible for paying states' civil servants.

They knew Buhari could not make the naira better in 2014/2015 na but they used the point together with fuel pump price to move the masses against Jonathan. The same way Jonathan became unpopular is the same way they want to make Tinubu. Tinubu is known to be a man in charge of whatever he does, but this way, they can set fire to make him less focused so they can catch him unaware. You want to tell me that everyone doesn't know it is impossible to pay such an amount?

Another reason is to set fire in the senate. This will back up the point above. The Senate is one of the looting machines in Nigeria. So the brains behind this protest are using this to lure the likes of Deji Adeyanju, Sowore, into it. And it's working. Lol. Again, Sowore a d Adeyanju will be used and dumped. Of course, can't you see the momentum Sowore and Adeyanju have created in Abuja? Who is Wike to face them? Wike who was talking rubbish has started asking for dialogue. Lol. Even that lawyer called Adegunruwa or so has seen where it is going that they might have been used and called for the end of the protest. Can't you see? It is clear that the North is the hand moving this protest cos they know it is the ONLY way. If they fail, Tinubu will crush them all. They know the consequences, too.

(4) Invest heavily in education and give students grants, not loans and compulsory education across Nigeria
Some public universities institute scholarships for bright students as far back as 20 years ago. Some universities take over the fees of students on track to first class. Many states have bursaries with which they support students. Agencies like TETFUND? NDDC and PTDF have consistently funded students within and outside Nigeria. I won't support giving grants to dullards. Let everyone win grants on merit as it has always been.

The protesters may not know that agencies like UBEC had tried to tackle the issue of compulsory education, but even after FG releases money, some states fail to pay their counterpart funding. fPresident Jonathan built some almajiri schools; what is the state of the schools today? In my view, each state can decide to deal with the problem of free and compulsory education on their own.

It is even funny that Sowore started this point. The issue is that Sowore isn't an economist. So, he doesn't understand how nations are built. A nation that can not pay a good minimum wage is the one he is asking to give grants to most students? The grants Awolowo and Jakande gave where are the dividends? Lol. They knew Nigeria could not fund quality education and housing estates for most people then, and they went ahead. Go and check all the low-cost estates Jankande built. Lol. Go and ask Lagos State the result of the free education in Lagos. Go and ask how touts entered the educational system of Lagos. Oh... I forgot about those Jakande schools and desks. Lol. Disaster!!!

Education needs a real plan and not using it as a political weapon. Awolowo felt he was smart then, but we are paying for it dearly today. Of course, many gained from it too, but the result is bad. OK. If Awolowo failed with the population, then how do we think we can be successful that our population has tripled? Lol

(5) Unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, demilitarization of the southeast and release and compensation of EndSARS protesters
Nnamdi Kanu's case is in court, why not allow the process to be seen to the end? As for demilitarization of the southeast, similar calls were made by Borno elders to former president Jonathan as they claimed the military was killing their children. Jonathan asked Borno elders to guarantee him they'd ensure an end to terrorism in their domain. They refused to assure him. It is the military that has ensured things have not become worse than they are right now.

As for unconditional release and compensation for all EndSARS protesters, are the protesters aware that some of those who claimed to be EndSARS protesters looted public properties and businesses? Are they calling for their release as well? In my view, those who committed crimes must be punished.

Be careful with your stand here. Your view is too extreme. I refuse to get into this because it is a sensitive issue. Of course, they need to mount pressure on the president. The truth is that no president except the one from Igbo will ever release Kanu. Period. But I admonish you not to build up the momentum for revolution more by hammering more on this issue. This is a deliberate act to keep Igbo more irritated. They want Igbos to get more angry so they can use them again. And Igbos are smart. They are chilling. Lol.

(6) Renationalize public enterprises sold to government officials and cronies
Would be nice to know the specific public enterprises and the government officials who purchased them. I am sure the protesters are not aware of OPL 245 and the Malabu scandal that has ruined Nigeria's chances of making good money from that lucrative oil well? Even if the assets were sold corruptly, it cannot be retrieved by fiat. There is a process that can drag for many years. Only the military or an autocrat can reverse things like this.

You dey whine me? If you were the president, would you do it? This is a war against Buhari and also a way Tinubu is shooting himself. You dey whine me? With what you are seeing in the North, do you think any president will go after Buhari? Lol. Dey play!

(7) Reinitiation of a corrupt-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.
This makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the same Nigerians will abuse the subsidy regime. Even the bags of rice that were donated, no matter how paltry; didn't some people attempt to rebag the rice to sell?

Bro... you are on point. The average Nigerian is corrupt. Lol.

(8.) Probing the past and present Nigerian leaders who looted the treasury, recovering the loot and putting the funds in a special account to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure
In other words, Nigeria should spend years on litigation. How about block loopholes so that no one can loot again?

No matter how we try to avoid it, this is the main issue that can redeem Nigeria. If not done, looting continues until Nigeria dies. The truth is that the cost of that limitation you want to run from is cheaper than the looting still going on. Think about it. However, I don't see it happening. So, I am saying it again... Nigeria will die. Now, take a look at the first demand. As soon as the agitation for this is hot, which they know will not happen, roadblocks for canceling 1999 constitution, which is the first demand, will start clearing. Remember, the first demand is the ultimate goal.

(9) Restructuring Nigeria to accommodate diversity, resource control decentralization and regional autonomy
This makes sense. Unfortunately, people from Mars will not be in charge of the regions. Look at NDDC that failed the Niger Delta people. Restructuring Nigeria will require a constitutional amendement and Tinubu cannot do it by fiat.

OK. You are getting it. Lol. This is the main agenda now. The North is ready to leave Nigeria. If we want to split, this is the best opportunity. The only stumbling block is Tinubu, who wants to build a legacy for himself and will not want Nigeria split during his time. Fortunately, he is the BEST candidate for it. Osinbajo wouldn't have cancelled subsidy the way Tinubu did. God works on mysterious ways. Lol.

(10) End banditry and terrorism and violent crimes
Why was this not point number 1? This is something the president can and must do. Everyone must work with him on this. The parents of the bandits, kidnappers and terrorists must give up their children; the rogue businessmen, religious leaders and local politicians must give up their businesses and report their footsoldiers to the authorities. The era of "he must not kill our people" must stop. Terrorism has destroyed the peace in most states and must be dealt with decisively.

Why will it be number 1 when they know the people sponging terrorism in Nigeria? They are always using it as a political weapon...and they have started again the same way they used it against Jonathan. Did they use it against Buhari? Lol..

(11) Estabishing a special energy fund to drive investments in the power sector
Didn't Buhari sign a bill into law to allow states generate their own electricity? How many states have taken advantage of it? Didn't Nigeria also secure an energy development bank for Africa to be headquarted in Abuja recently to identify and develop Africa's energy sources? Of course, Nigeria will take advantage of this.

You are on point. But the idea is to still use one of the main challenges Nigeria is facing. They don't have the solution to it, but they must use it. They are trying to use a lack of electricity to make the masses join them. Lol. Don't you get it?

(12) Reconstitution of Nigeria's electoral body to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks
We have heard so much accusation of the INEC chairman being bribed and thereby compromising the election. How much was he given? How was the money paid? In which account was it deposited? We need to be careful the way we throw accusations to soil people's names.

They know Tinubu will win again. Has he ever lost any election? Lol. The idea is still number 1. This is the main goal. The North is ready to leave Nigeria. Period. Open your eyes. They are the only one who can decide when to leave. They have the number to cause wahala.

(13) Massive investment in public works and industrialization to eploy Nigerians
Many among the youth publicly opposed the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway and sided with Landmark, despite his properties not adversely affected. We must all agree on what we want as a people.

Lol....Younare on point.

(14) Massive shake up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generation of judges
Historically, the Nigerian Judicial Commission has destroyed many judges implicated for corruption. There was one hearing an elections petitions case and received a donation for his father's funeral from the defendant's lawyer, who was a SAN. They fired the judge and had the lawyer derobed of his SAN. Many judges have had their promotion stunted and dismissed. Because of the way the judiciary is, these things are not always in the press.

I reserve my comment here. Lol. The president who is ready to fight corruption is the only one who will do this. Since you also agreed that the average Nigerian is corrupt, this will not happen. So, I see Nigeria breaking up. If this happens, that high cost ligitation you talked about will happen. Lol. I have more to day here, but I choose to zip my mouth.

(15) Disapora voting
This is needed.

Why is it needed? For what exactly? Do you want someone who is not in your nation to decide for those struggling in it? Do you really get what you are saying? Lol...

More Advice:
I am not going to tell you to or not to protest, but ONE thing I am going to tell you is this: Learn from the Biafra WAR. We should try to avoid war.

Number 2 lesson from the Biafra war is that you should plan on how to feed yourself. Go and buy a minimum of a plot of land in a residential area and start gardening. Cultivate tubers of yams and potatoes, vegetables, and fruits. You can produce eggs and poultry/rabbit meat, too. Food security is essential. The North has realised the power of food security, and they are willing to go.

Good luck to you all.

Lol

The Number 12 even the blind and dumb knows tinubu started buying his way right from the primaries. Its no news INEC rigged him in

You tried for bringing up this to the public but seems to shade the government. Maybe we should be expecting a more dissect opinion by some other person
