Nationwide Protest.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I just surprise say nobody even talk anything about the protest wey our people Dey plan to do from August 1st (wey be tomorrow) to August 10th with the tag “EndBadGovernance”.

I just want hear our opinion on the issue, whether we think say this protest go yield any result or we think say dem go still hire touts to take over the protest and disrupt am or turn am to riots. Make we just chuck mouth for the matter small.

Its not that people were not in support of the protest, you will only discover out that in this noble community, bitcoin users were less dependent on the government or their corrupt economy system and practices, so they are like paying lesser attention to the government instead of being troubled by their poor administrative management, but as for the protest, everyone supported the change in which we needed for a better governance for the people.

Na the truth naim you talk so, plenty person don dey less dependent on the government for anything, because them don already shift their minds from wattin the government fit offer in terms of work or change wey fit better the country. Some persons sef don give up if the country go ever better. Most of these person ma people wey dey do FX trade, crypto trade and some other remote digital skills wey dey demanding for the world currently.  E go sweet if better government enter sit then make good change even if e no fit do everything, just make sure majority of the citizens dey comfortable and you are good to go.

Even those people you mentioned are still affected by the situation of the country - if you look back in the last few years you’ll see that those money we thought if we had them we’d be financially stable are not even enough to feed us for a whole year due to the crazy inflation in our country.

Back then if you had 5 million naira you’d consider yourself rich but now if you have that kind of money in your account it will still look as if you don’t have anything due to the cost of things in market. If the country doesn’t change those FXtraders and crypto enthusiasts you mentioned will just keep working and the economy will keep swallowing the money realized from it.

I just pray this protest don't turn out into violence. I believe the organisers planned it to be a peaceful protest which is normal but the truth is that anything protest in Nigeria is being hijacked alone the line. We remember how the end Sars protest started and how it ended. Hoodlums hijacked the process and turned it into something else which became uncomfortable to the point that even the organisers backed out if I am not mistaken. It is not a crime to protest if things are not properly done in the country but it wouldn't be safe if the process does not go as it was planned to.

Concerning the endsarz protest, it was actually the government that sent hoodlums that hijacked the protest and turned it into a violent one, if you search the internet, specially  X (formally known as Twitter), you will find alot of evidences to this claim.

But then, coming back to the current ongoing protest against bad government, so far, my place is still very calm since yesterday, people are still going about doing their normal business, in fact, at the point, I thought there really wasn't a protest going on, but each time I enter online, I see updates from various parts of Nigeria on how the protest is fairing.

So far though, I personally am yet to hear or read news about any violence, except for one that they said happened in nasarawa where it was said that some angry mobs destroyed government house there, I don't know how true this is though.

You are right and it is the same experience over here. Within my environment, there's no movement, every where is just calm and cool. No violence reported yet. Yesterday, the protesters were addressed by the governor and they were all happy to receive the government addressing them. This is how it is supposed to be, peaceful and calm, no violence reported.

Although I heard about Lagos were a mall was looted if I am not mistaken and other States were there was gun shots and others. What I just pray is that the process should not be hijacked by hoodlums and touts in the streets.

This possibility might have also pushed Ghana youths into same end bad governance protest. I heard it on one of the Ghana stations last night about the surprised Ghana protests. It is surprising that the African youths and nations are beginning to wake up and doing the right thing.

Yeah indeed they should be affected. Everyone is affected by the inflation rate but those persons i mentioned, they are less affected because they don't earn in our fiat currency, they earn in dollars or other cryptocurrencies with is not naira, so they might be living as though nothing has happened because as naira devalues  to the dollar they are receiving higher value of naira which should be able to cover up their usual expenses. To be honest, this country is fucked and it'll take only the grace of God for this country to be repaired to what we once knew it to be. However let's see the result of the protest,  if our president is compassionate enough to make good decisions.

The protest might be helpful to some extent but who knows that how good or bad results people of the country see because of the protest. Those politicians often have their plans to suppress such protests but still letting them doing whatever they want is unacceptable and I believe protest is the only way in such case.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

From what had been seen all over the social media, the protest in taking along with other dimensions because its been hijacked by the hoodlums who have nothing to lose to take over the street and loot on other peoples properties and assets, in everything, there is always a good side and the other side which is bad, the nation have to face the reality that it takes force to exert freedom because its not given, but taken.

The looting was to be expected, I was opportuned to be in a taxi when the protest topic was brought up - and a man in the vehicle made a comment that sparked an argument, he told us that he was going to come out for the protest but his aim during the protest is not to block car or collect 10 naira from people before allowing them to pass - his goal that day was to go to shops he knows have goods that could be sold for good amount and break into it - he said if those people were also suffering as them they won’t just sit in their house and wait for them to protest. So for him, the breaking and looting is like a punishment for them not joining the protest.

Which is kinda stupid, how do you go out to protest and demand for a better governance and yet switch to destroy something that someone has spent their entire life trying to build just because they refused to join in the protest.

Nothing much is happening in the South-South and in the South-East of the country on protest. It is only in the North that a lot of destruction is happening based on the protest because I saw when some protestants were heading to Aso-Rock but were stopped. In Kaduna police station was burnt and some police were wounded. E come be like say na those people e dey pain pass for Nigeria because some part of the country no send the protest. Nigeria na suffering and smiling country.

In the words of Fela Anikulapo Kuti " everyday Nigerians are suffering and smiling" and this has been on for quite some time now and became worse ever since the inception of this government. So so promises every where and are yet to be fulfilled. Nigerians are just tired with the whole kangaroo play this time.
No doubt the protest is on but I think I should let you know that some southern states are a bit tensed up too. I heard some south eastern state too are tensed up too. As it stands now the protest is likely in every path of the country and the message is very loud and clear for the presidency  to understand.

I thought the protest ended after Tinubu went on television and read his script to the public - right now in my state people are moving freely workers have returned back to their jobs, I don’t know about other places but here we’re no longer seeing any signs of the protest going on.

The national broadcast would have settled the situation but I think it was not contrary to the expectations of the citizens hence it became tensed up. If you go online, you would see comments in response to the president's speech on Sunday.  The president failed to address some certain things that was expected of him to do. All what he said was far from what the masses were expecting to hear from him.
Many were disappointed with the speech and it became worse this week. I was also wondering if the president took his time to vet the speech himself before coming out publicly to make the speech or they just hand it over to him the day of the national broadcast for him to just talk like that. I was just wondering because the speech was less the expectations of her citizens at this moment in time.

Things have even become tougher just after the protest. The cost of petroleum has gone up to 1000 naira per liter, and even the cost of a bag of rice has gone up as well. It shows that the protests did not have any effect on the economy but rather made things worse. I hear that there's another protest being planned for October, but any planned protest is a failed protest.

An issue in this economy is that it has reduced to amount of money that people have to spare for investments, now to invest, you have to make sacrifices.

but any planned protest is a failed protest.

What were we expecting when the president came out to give a speech that had been leaked in x before the day the he was supposed to give his speech? The last protest didn’t yield any result because they gave the government too much time to prepare against the protest to the extent that they were able to organize an anti-protest protest.

Despite all that’s currently happening, Nigerians won’t see it as an eye opener an vote for who will help develop the country instead they’ll go for someone that is able to share rice and money during his campaign period.

It was as if the protest triggered the increase in goods and services. The case is even worse than as it was before the protest, people are going through lots now than they used to. I began to wonder if this happened as a result of the government indirectly punishing her citizens for the protest action against them. On a normal there should have been some measures taken to stabilize the economy but the reverse was the case and no one could do anything about it.

Honestly, the country is in a reverse gear and it would take a long time with drastic measures to making sure things works out perfectly well with the economy. I also heard same about the planned protest but I think it would make things worst than it is  now. I hope the organizers would be sensitive enough to see for themselves  what their protest resulted to thinking of the disaster the planned protest would cause for the nation.
