Why u think say Endsars end up the way? Na same people wey una dey hail na em mislead Nigerians go Lekki. Aisha Yesufu, Falz and co still no talk why dem go mobilize people wey lead to the massacre.

They hijacked the protest, the real organizers ended the protest by 2pm but these so called human rights activists, abandoned them created a fund me account. Till today no body hear about accountability.

I no know why information like this no dey go viral.

joseph1832:
I wonder what the last protest achieved that Sowore and his cohorts still want to protest again.

If there's one thing any sane Nigerian should be doing at this moment, is staying away from such protest because, even the organisers themselves, are no different from the government they want to protest again.

Na person without conscience go just talk say make everybody go protest. It's a planned protest. Any state wey won participate must have a credible leader and can be accountable for the protest.

Not a headless mob, that is more dangerous.

helinues:


A nationwide protest with exception from some regions already caused disunited

Then you don't know anything about protest, oppressors or not, they must do the needful. Na una think say protest no dey go far.

Na like this revolution dey start.

You knock door dem no open

You bang door dem no open

Las las you kick the door open....it's a process

You seek permission from oppressors to protest against their oppression? Tell me that this is a joke.

Ghana is currently protesting and there is no intimidation of any kind.....

Protest is for the people to air their thoughts about the policies of the government....

But in Nigeria, if you protest, Tinubu will say you committed treason.

Kenya never arrested any youth for protesting....

If Nigeria was in Kenya's situation, the country wouldn't have survived it as there'd have been a civil war breakout.

Must you LIE to communicate TRUTH? Which one is Kenya didn't arrest any youth? Did you even know how many people were killed in that protest?

As much as we condemn police brutality in all it's ramifications but we must also admit our "overdo-ness" (like the recent carnage and looting we saw in the North) which allowed our unprofessional police force to step in and mis-manage the situation too!!

WeddingParol:
It is ideal for people to express their dissatisfaction to the government throug peaceful but not sponsored protest. Any protest with political undertones is no longer for the masses but the politicians using the masses.

I don't totally trust Sowore, we was once a political jobber that is if he is still not one.

Nevertheless, a coup d'etat is obviously not a way out for Nigeria. If the military is this corrupt under a civilian regime, I wonder how it would be if they are in charge.

The only way out is electoral and constitutional reform where we return to the confederational system of government with resource control and state/regions empowered to police and secure their territories.
Otherwise, disintegration becomes an option.

Where was Sowore in the last few months of the Protest this year?
Why is he ow trying to organise another one, although Tinubu govt pretended as if the first Protest did not take place and you just wandered - why govt has done nothing, despite the Rising Foods stuff - Rice,Beans,Yam,Palm oil and Palm Kernels are same,but the Poverty level is increasing!
The same govt was able to tell themselves how they can give Trucks of Grains to Borno- during the recent Flooding!
Today,the Power Minister said ' 40 % Nigerians are enjoying 20 Hours ----Lights- where and how?
Can't he tell Nigerians- the Areas,the Regions,the People enjoying the lights 🚨?
Here is a govt that says they will be doing Assignments of the Ministers Performances,but nothing!
Very Shameful Statement!
This has shown why People are not taking Govt seriously,both Federal and States level because it's just a Propaganda Statement!
At the end,you may not blame Sowore- afterall, nothing was done since the last Protest by the Nigerians.

is it presidential candidate that stage the kenya or Ghana protest?

Why do we always reason irrationally in this country, for God's sake? Is a presidential candidate not qualified to protest?
When Buhari did such in 2012, it was an act of patriotism - but now - it's a crime under our so called democracy!

October 1st

First day of the month. The productive people are anticipating in sealing deals , the idlers can continue with their planned protest. After the protest, they will still come back online to be shouting hardship as they would have channelled their energy on wrong thing

Only a fool should type this comment. But I understand you. Suffering in private forming online.

Nigerians are not very smart. We're only smart in beating the system or other negative stuff

As long as the date was announced, it will be a failure.

whytediamond:

Is this laugh because the protest might fail?

The question here is what did the previous protes achieve?

AntiChristian:
Protest no go finish!

Make them ban protest sef!

Nonsense!

Attention seeking individuals!

It is hypocritical for an islamist to call for the banning of protest when their Islamic party took power through protests
Besides, was Muhammad's fighting Meccans and their beliefs not a protest?

emkz:
The first protest failed on the first day.

The following were achieved:

(1) On the first day, arson commenced.

(2) People's private properties were bungled

(3) More than 16 persons died and until today, no one knows their names, visited their families or provided support. They died wastefully.

(4) Some folks flew Russian flags and asked for regime change. Some outrightly said they wanted one of those roundly defeated.

(5) The people of the southeast chose not to be part of it as they quickly realized they were being set up to take the blame.

(6) Despite some urchins using machete to cut traffic light, some tribalists attempted to rope in those from outside their state. No one believed them.

(7) When the protesters became rioters, the arrowheads lost control and started begging the president to give a speech to appease the protesters.

What exactly did the August protest/riots accomplish? Which of their demands were met?

The proposed October riots will fail again.

A protest is expected to be organic, with people united with a common ideology. That ideology is the driver and motivation. But there are disparate ideologies as follows:

(1) Some used the protest to throw tantrums over the heavy defeat in 2023.

(2) Some wanted to be compensated with funds, contracts and a seat on the table.

(3) Some wanted to use protests for local and international fame.

(4) Most wanted regime change.

The fact that you could even caption AUG protest as 1st protest depict you are not only insensible but you are a low thinker

Mandela 1st protest what did he yield or should i tell you how many years Mandela spent in prison ... thank God he was not as myopic as you.

The journey of a 1000 miles they say begins with a step, history as taught us emancipation movement is not a stroll but a journey ... so guys like you can either chill on a bottle of sniper or shut up n watch

how are you sure the 1st intimacy your dad had with your mom yielded

Brendaniel:



For you to even pick Wike speaks volume, it shows you've not still learnt...

Sowore should do a smaller position first let us see how he handles power....

which smaller position should he take? He should take smaller positions to learn how to steal money like other politicians arbi?

in terms of performance, there are few governors that beat wike, since 1999, you people were cool with wike until he declined supporting Peter obi.... For dis country to move forward, we need a result driven person like Wike... Every politician has their own downsides, like obi didn't conduct a single local government election until d end of his tenure, so that obiano could win.... So someone dat did not conduct local government elections is now talking about electoral reforms....

How many deals you don sell, while wasting 24 hours on NL. Mr Enugbé.

Let the protesters lead and take the protests to Aso rock Abuja when Tinubu sees a large crowd of angry protesters approaching aso rock Abuja he will be afraid and will take nigerians serious., and do the needful that will reduce the hunger, hardship nigerians are facing or he will resign

Nigerian protests are always hijacked by hoodlums who loot innocent people's businesses, burn up expensive infrastructure paid for by public funds.

I hate Nigerian protests with passion because nothing good ever comes out from it but more pains, tears and blood.

Anarchists. Protests that amount to nothing but destruction and more hardship.

Sowore has come back again to grab more cash from gullible people to take back to his family in the U.S. Tinubu is treating him with kid gloves because of tribe, but it will consume him, if he is not careful.

Power supply has really improved in my area sha unlike before when you could not expect to see light for weeks. Though the 20 hour supply may be for their band A customers

How can electoral reforms be birthed with these type of satanic rulers who can kill and dislodge any form of civil, legitimate opposition against their government?
I'm sorry to say this but the only thing that will work is revolution that will unseat these vampires. From the ruins and ashes we can reset this country again

My thoughts exactly 💯

Sowore is not a serious leader, he just likes trouble. Now he has gotten his law certificate, he wants to launch his law career

MEEVEET:
I can bet my Balls Tinubu or people in his government are the ones sponsoring this protest

Why you may ask? To divert attention from protests that can actually hurt Tinubu

The only demand Nigeria needs now electoral reforms... That's it.. That's all

Bet your balls then you are gone.
Why will you even think Tinubu will sponsor protest against himself.
This sounds weird to me.

JASONjnr:


How can Tinubu sponsor protest against himself?

Is he really that stupeed?

Wow!
In your best interest, don’t ever underestimate the stupidity of that man.

Release Nnamdi kanu? Sowore should kukuma go to DSS office and free him.if anybody want kanu released such person should go to daura and discuss that with jubril el Sudan that arrested him.

Sowore don turn this protest thing to business!

No change or revolution can happen via any peaceful protest with sponsors!!!

IGBOS WILL NEVER BE PART OF THIS PROTEST

Local government election in Nigeria is just for formality, what is the difference with an LG caretaker and what these governors are calling election?

I will prefer I even save money and appoint care takers that I know will work for the people than doing election that some people will still rig their way in and cheat the people...

You talked about Sowore getting corrupt if he starts from a small office then you I don't think you even know what leadership traits are( sorry to say)....

If he can get corrupt from a smaller office, you think he will not get corrupt as president, have you heard the saying : he who is faithful in little will be faithful in much, some people don't just know how serious that statement is...

And I've seen you fall into that category, why I don't keep too many friends is because I study people from the little time I spend with them in the first meetings and I observe how the person handles the little thing around himself and things we may do together.

From there I'm already drawing my lines on the kind of friendship we will have.

This is not being judgmental, maybe that's just the way I am...

I don't know when you were born but over the years of my life I have learnt a lot when it comes to human beings and character, I'm not saying I might be 100 percent perfect in reading human beings and their character but I have seen a lot.

If you were old enough during Adams Oshiomhole as NLC president, you will wish he became president of Nigeria, I can tell you for a fact that no person fought the government the way Adams fought OBJ since 1999 till now...

He held the entire country down, he was fighting for the masses, it was so tough that some people were getting tired of the strikes, he insisted that he will keep fighting for the masses...

At the time I believe OBJ may have tried bribing him with billions which he rejected, the money did not move him, because OBJ was also very stubborn with his stand on his policies and always wanted to have his way...


Fast forward to when he became governor, what would have happened to a man who may have rejected billions to stand for the masses that later told a poor woman to go and die and look at what he has turned to today?

What happened?

Power

Power corrupted him, today look at him, there is none of Sowore's protest that is even quarter of that of Adams...

Personally I know Sowore may have rejected so many bribes to the tune of billions and if so I respect him for that, but power is different from money.

Another issue is management, does he really have good managerial skills?

It is not enough to just be an activist, Mugabe was also an activist who became president and ran down Zimbabwe and also became almost a life time president...

What happened?

Power

That's why I don't still trust Sowore, I'm not saying Peter Obi is a saint but compared to the major politicians right now, he is miles ahead of them ..

I see Peter Obi as a reversal from these trend APC has set....

He is not a saint but he is a break from the norm of what APC is doing and from there we can keep refining the leadership after him...

Let Sowore try a lower position, let us watch him and what he will do with power, if he is faithful there he will most likely be faithful for presidency...

As for Wike, please don't even bring him into the discussion, I've never really liked him, how do you guys see these type of politicians as people you can support?

I was busy shouting all over Nairaland that Tinubu is a worse tyrant than Buhari and a lot of you thought I was just being political, how you guys don't see it is what I still get surprised about...

I'm telling you and now that Wike is a worse tyrant than Tinubu, you think you've seen tyranny under Tinubu?

The man is a complete fraud, I'm still saying it here, the same way I talked about Tinubu, that's why they can work together, can't you guys see?

The problem with you guys is you guys don't know how to measure performance based on states and the resources the states have before the governors came in and what they left after office...

Wike is a complete fraud just like Tinubu, I tried explaining to someone here that kept on saying Tinubu did so much in Lagos, I explained the Lagos scam to him....

To People like Tinubu and Wike, politics comes first before governance, can't you guys see it?

States like Lagos and Port-harcort are highly invested states especially Lagos so if you compare the performance based on what they display as projects, you will be mislead....

It is like rating a driver the best because he is given a Ferrari to compete with others given Camry and Corolla in a car race because he won based on speed...

The problem here is Nigeria is not like a Ferrari, Nigeria is like a trailer, you don't need just speed, you need serious experience and patience, that is why Tinubu is failing at the federal level, same reason Fashola failed as minister, same reason, Cardoso, Wale Edun and co are failing too...

That's why I shout the Lagos scam, some of you don't really understand...

If Sowore can do even LG chairman for 4 years, let us see his handwork, If he does well, I'm telling you a lot of Nigerians will throw support for him.
