  1. Nigeria exports oil and then imports refined oil.

    One of the import refineries in Malta is owned by Nigerian government officers.

    The country is bonkers.

  2. The protest is to end bad government in Nigeria, which results in a high cost of living and insecurity.

    For people who want to know the true reason ,and not for people who are paid to always change the topic.

  3. Nigeria's population has been growing rapidly for at least five decades due to very high birth rates, quadrupling in that time. Lots of children require lots of food. Food doesn't fall from the sky. That's logic.

  4. The PEOPLE are waking up. Nigeria is currently being ripped off by the especially related to oil refining and shipping Nationalize the oil sector!!! The people should heavily benefit from the nations resources.

  5. 𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽'𝓼 $43 𝓪 𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓱 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓶𝓾𝓶 𝔀𝓪𝓰𝓮 𝓰𝓸𝓷𝓷𝓪 𝓭𝓸 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓶𝓪𝓷? 𝓝𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓮.

  6. This protest is never about the cost of living but an attempt by the losers of 2023 presidential election to change government through undemocratic means. The protesters want to release the head of IPOB, an organisation Nigeria court declared as terrorist. The protesters want to scrap Nigeria constitution and want fuel to sell for less than $0.10 per litre, which is impossible. Cost of living is used to bring out ignorant people for selfish political means.

  7. President Ibrahim Traore is right. The West install puppets across Africa. The puppet works for his master. He doesn't listen to citizens who elected him to power. He follows the commands of his master. He is unpatriotic. He steals from the poor. He rules with a mindset Africa belongs to his master, and plunder Africa on behalf of his master. He gives everything to his master, and the Master shares the loots with him. He feeds his master with Africa's resources. He maximizes IMF/WB profits to prosper his master's children. He doesn't listen to suffering Citizens. He is very dishonest, corrupt, confused, and liar. He betrayed youths to satisfy his master. Only revolution can remove him from grip of power. GenZs you have a lot of work to do.

  8. Seen protest across Africa is not really good. You must understand that world is facing financial difficulties while you are protecting, we must respect our Leaders and our beautiful country that you live in.

  9. Other countries give palliatives to their citizens. Insecurity is not like in Nigeria, killings, kidnappings and the people cannot go to farms, now no food. Famine in the land caused by government and government killings.

  10. NIGERIA HAVE LAZY YOUTHSSSS – See a country with 160 million lazy youths. You are hungry, so Tinubu should feed you? Useless and foolish youths. Tinubu should come and farm yam, tomatoes, beans, rice, cassava, and maize for you? Hunger in a country where there is fertile land to farm everywhere? Cross over to Cameroon and see youths all farming and there is food everywhere in Cameroon. Is it Paul Biya that is farming for Cameroon youths? Naija is in a mess because of these 160 million dead brain and LAZY youths.

  11. Nigerian politicians starting from president down to local govt councilors are wicked and mean. They don't care abt the well-being of common citizens as long as they are embezzling and looting our money. Do you know that an ordinary senator earns salary of between N10 million and N20 million monthly whereas the constituency he/she represents wallow in abject poverty, no development, no impart on the ppl he/she are representing in the national assembly. No wonder Nigerian ex president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo accused the law makers of being highly corrupt. An accusation they the law makers did not deny.
