The protest sponsors are boldly written up there.
North.

Shut up and attack them.

When Buhari was in power, protest was haram. Now because it's a Southerner, you that protest is your right. During the end Sars protest in 2020 in Lagos, there was no single protest in the North, instead there was counter protest in Abuja and Kano.
Please keep your protest in the north and await the counter protest from the south. 2 can play the game.

Me not ing any protest
I rather invest that time on myself become rich nd stop complaining
Govt can't do shit for anybody

Nice one...
Make everywhere waan!!!....🤬

Helinues will STOP them. No one dare protest against Tinubu in this country or anywhere in SW. Anyways, na August we dey see for front sha

Protest was haram under Buhari according to these bloody hypocrites. Meanwhile, what happened to the muslim muslim ticket miracle? God punish all of una.

Mtchwww if only the North ed us during the end sars protests, we won't be where we are at the moment but they chose to remain silent and now things have become worse for everyone.

It's the Igbos who want to make same mistake now, they want to abstain from the protest like we becoming divided as a nation will be of any good to anyone.

I'm yoruba and I participated in the end sars protests, tho I have said I won't any protests after my brother managed to escape at the lekki toll gate that night, but I'm a Nigerian and I'll do anything or any movement geared towards the betterment of my country.
No tribe can do it alone be it hausa , igbo or yoruba. None of us can liberate or rescue Nigeria alone. We need to stay united now more than ever. The government have so much confidence in carrying out corruption activities now than ever why? Because they have successfully divided the youths into 3 groups Arewa, Ronu gangs and the Obidient gangs which I belong to.
But regardless I'll do what needs to be done which is fight for my country.

Crazy people.

Did they write or protest during buhari time

Tinubu didn't write to anyone when he protested against jonathan at ojota.
Between him and jonathan who is worst?

Even soyunka follow protest.But now he dey silence on all the bad leadership and hunger currently going on across the country

THE GATHERING STORMS.

Are you blind? Can't you see the wordings of conveners of the protest shame you Igbos? "Aboki is dull" and "Danladi no get brain" yet look at how they articulate what they want to achieve that all progressive Nigerians, including myself, can and endorse?

The northerners said the protest aimed to shine a spotlight on pressing regional issues and advocate for meaningful reforms.

When have Igbos shown anything other than fundamentalist and bellicose insistence everything for them is about "Tinubu must go"?

When have Igbos, as Northerners now show the maturity to enunciate, ever taken a charity begins at home approach to demand a protest to "shine a spotlight on pressing regional issues and advocate for meaningful reforms".

Everything for all Igbos is "Tinubu must be poisoned", "Tinubu must die" and "Tinubu must be removed" etal.

It is becoming obvious now that only Igbos shun progressive search for solutions and are insistent everything for them begjns and end with Tinubu's removal.

I am personally predicting violent and anarchic protests some want is DOA. If every region is serious then demand national dialogue during peaceful protests that Tinubu will immediately acquiesce to.

Jagaban is no fool. Far from it. He is a proactive leader who believes in controlling the narrative. His insistence protests can go ahead and that protestors must not be harmed is deliberate.

Once the people get a voice and say what they want, as Northerners now hint with their demand for "spotlight on pressing regional issues", who is Tinubu to deny the demands of the people themselves?

Let us then see any leader from anywhere that will resist what the people have publicly announced they want , be that regional autonomy or even referendum, without been viewed internationally an enemy of Nigeria.

More than one way to skin a Cat.
