Shutting down bbm is not Jonathan should be doing.he should be addressing d needs of d people,instead of acting to shut down bbm.why wasn’t he quick to act on the Xmas day bombings.?
I hope that this movement which has begun will bring people to the realization that the suffering is enough. May God protect all those who have put themselves up front on behalve of their fellow citizens. God bless Nigeria
Jona is a big fool infact it Doctorate PHD need to be question b’cos is senceless human being.Good work today pls more of it,at least this is how it started in d mid east ε̲.g Libya so Badluck shld get prepare.
My heart is heavy. This is a man that was voted for by most poor people not knowing that he is not a capable hand. He does not know how to go about things. It is so painful that we made him the C in C only for him to come and inflict pains on us. Oh this man GEJ!!!. I pray something happens.
I think we should fight for our right this time .
If goodluck thinks dis is d best for nigerians den he aim of coming in as president is defeated bcos d minimum wage of 18k will nt go along way to help any person who has a motor bike or car
Nigerians are very ungrateful. Jonathan promised you ‘fresh air’ and he is giving it to you now and you are revolting. Such ingratitude!
i support mass protest, in Abuja der are arresting poeple and in Ilorin der are shooting protesters…..how long will our govt take Naigerians for granted. All NASS members and Govt appointees salary if reduced can provide all de infastructure we want alnog side money from past corupt leaders….
Am part of d nans nd wil be on our way 2 Asorock 4 protest
Today Jonathan has succefully turned Nigeria state into economic voodoo laboratory of IMF and world bank.we ve got it bad here,there is failed Leadership which bring abt Sys Corrupt,SYS damage,failed socio-economic contract btw the govern and the Nigeria states,what we need is corruption removal,assured security of life n property,job,healthy living n gauranteed future.LETS STOP THEM NOW BEFORE THEY TURN US TO PAUPERS
we nigerians abroad are tired of d rubbish goin on in d country bombing here and there everyday its killing our image in the foreign country, we dont try to respect ourself hw do u want the foreighers to respect us …. f government is absolutly nonsense anyway God still in d heavy sha
Every one must come out and say enough is enough in nigeria .. if not for ur self do it for ur kids .. for a better tomorrow
Jonathan did a political miscalculation by the sudden action his administration took to remove fuel subsidy at a time nigerians are in serious economic pains.what he should have done was to ensure stable security of lives and properties before revisiting the subsidy issue.clearly we now know that jonathan is a blunder and catastrophy on the nation.
If this doesn’t cause a revolution.. I’m afraid nothing else will.. It is time my fellow Nigerians.. Let us stand as one and say no to our bad government!
I sorry for Jonah. His intentions is right but d timing is wrong. Who are those confusing this Man. I think i will do better.
I would have expected that Nigerian allow a 2weeks period to assess the impact before going out to protest.
we are yet to see the Guidelines and Regulations on the deregulations.
This early protest is not called for in my considered opinion
Enough is Enough ! Is really time for all NIGERIANS home and Abroad ( World-Wide ) to stand and sopport War against Corruption in our Country,It is time to stand and fight for our right ( HUMAN RIGHT ).We all should get prepered to go back home cos no man is left out of this.
i think a well deserved return gift for the subsidy removal is serious unrest, disobedience, retaliation on their persons and peace. what is the next consideration to a common man, though we will cope but we need Tropics Springs.
I want more celebrities to join d tweets. We have had enough.
The show down begins … uprising in Nigeria……
Excellent
