2Face Releases Official Statement On New Date For Protest by 360metrosports: 4:03pm On Feb 01, 2017 |
2baba (formerly 2face Idibia) has rescheduled the 5th Feb protest against Nigeria's Federal Government to 6th Feb 2017. The official statement on the postphonement goes thus: Hello my fellow Nigerians… Since the idea of a nationwide march was first mentioned, the need for urgent solutions to the challenges facing Nigerians has become very clear. The people have hoped for a better Nigeria since 1999 but things are not getting any better for the majority. We are still where we are – poor and desperate. I will be no longer be quiet. I want to thank EiE, The 2face Foundation, numerous colleagues and countless fellow Nigerians for stepping up to partner with me. I am just a musician with a point of view and the ear of my fans. I have dedicated my time and resources to peace building, voter education towards peaceful elections and youth engagement in governance in Nigeria. This time around, my partners, colleagues and I have come together to present a platform for real Nigerians to communicate their real pains to government at all levels in a peaceful and articulate manner with a view to getting lasting solutions to our problems. This march is about demanding that all saboteurs of good government policies should hands off. This march is about encouraging positive minded Nigerians to continue to work without intimidation. We have a system that is clearly designed not to work for the majority. What is this march not about? It is not a platform for politicians of any party to manipulate. I know you will still spin it but for one second leave your battles aside and just listen to people without trying to score cheap political points against one another. It is not a point scoring exercise. It is certainly not personal. It is not an organized labour platform. With all due respect to our comrades who have done much for Nigeria, this march is for the unrepresented. It is not a ‘my religion or tribe is better than yours’ matter. All our blood is red. I, Innocent Idibia, am a living example of a Nigerian who owes their success to Nigerians of every tribe and religion. None ask what religion or tribe I am before supporting me. I am grateful. Therefore, it is with every sense of humility that I say that with this march, I want: 1) Security All Nigerians’ lives MUST matter. My religion, ethnicity or what part of the country I live shouldn’t determine the type of protection I get from my government. According to the Constitution, ‘the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.’ 2) Education To develop beyond oil, we have to invest in our human capital. Every child must have access to quality education. If our teachers are not paid, how will we raise the next generation to lead the country and run our businesses? 3) Health Health is wealth. People die daily from lack of basic, affordable health care. We can definitely do better. 4) Power Government needs to make it easier to generate power at the state and local government level so everything is not tied to the center. We need electricity to be productive. The cost of generating our own power is crippling. 5) Unemployment Poor education plus a struggling economy means a lot of people are unemployed. Unemployed people are hungry and angry. 6) High cost of living Food, transportation, medicine, everything is 3 times, 4 times more expensive but our salaries haven’t increased. What do we do 7) Social Justice According to the Constitution, ‘The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice.’ There cannot be one set of rules for the poor and another set for the rich. Transparency The best way to kill corruption is to increase transparency. Government finances and contracts must be open and available to all. Who got the money, to do what and by when? 9) Cost of government Our governance is TOO expensive – federal, state, local – cars, housing, allowances. We must reduce the cost of maintaining our public officials 10) Patriotism I stand with Nigeria. There is enough in Nigeria for all of us to ‘chop belleful’. Enough is enough. We must put Nigeria first and keep all the greedy & selfish people away from leadership. Call to Action Between now and Monday, February 6, I ask you to share via videos, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, SMS to 0902-355-5335. How are these issues affecting you? What are your daily struggles? How is it doing you? No matter what part of the world you are, I encourage you to share your stories. And join me on Monday in Surulere or online Use any of the hashtags #IStandWith2Baba #IStandWithNigeria #OneVoiceNigeria on social media. We will take all the reports and send them to our elected representatives as ONE VOICE of Nigerians across party, ethnic and religious lines – as they hear real people talk about real issues. On Monday, February 6, meet me at the National Stadium at 8AM and we’ll walk to the National Theatre – 2 national icons that epitomize our decline – as we state clearly and peacefully that #IStandWithNigeria and Nigeria must work for all of us and all of us must work for Nigeria. http://www.metronaija.com/2017/02/2baba-releases-official-statement-on.html 254 Likes 34 Shares |

#IStandWithSaiBaba BUHARI MAKE THINGS EXPENSIVE! Headsmaster: how much is passport photograph for children? Photographer: the price for the passport is N100 per child Headmaster: No, the pupils are 500 in numbers, so we are paying N50 Photographer: ok no problem sir, you can pay N50 each since they are many Headmaster: class teacher go & inform the pupils that they should bring N150 each tomorrow for the passports. Class teacher: ok sir, i will inform them right away Class teacher: Good day pupils, you are all to come with N200 tomorrow for passports. Pupils: Mummy we were asked to bring N300 for passport at school Mummy: Father, your son was asked to go with N500 passport fee tomorrow. Father: Hool My God. BUHARI make things costly day by day, including education. We have said it, this man is wicked. Moral lesson: 'LET THE CHANGE BEGIN WIT U" Honesty and sincerity is all wot we need to make this country a better place. 301 Likes 33 Shares |

The protests are not really against any political party or individual but a call for good governance. We cant continue with the current situation whereby Christians are very suspicious of Muslims, Muslims are suspicious of Christians and Muslims of other sects. Any politician willing to join the protests should do so on the grounds of neutrality by putting Nigeria First. Police and all trigger happy agents should allow the citizens to express their fundamental right to freedom of expression; we dont want to see running battles on the streets, if some groups decide to fly certain flags please ignore them instead of killing them in cold blood as we have seen recently in many areas.

Even 2Face can write official statement - the President addresses us on Facebook! Yet they are cajouling 2Baba for being illerate and unqualified to host a protest. Doesn't he have the same qualification as the President himself 45 Likes 1 Share |
