Who is afraid of civil gathering (protest) in Nigeria?

 

Why is the federal government of Nigeria afraid of lawful protest by ordinary Nigerians because of hardship that stemmed from the failure of successive governments? Are they afraid it will produce results as it did in Kenya?
 
Protest is part of democracy... using traditional rulers, who are trumpets of the government and not the people, to force a stop is disingenuous. Saying they have identified sponsors of the protest is an insult to ordinary Nigerians who truly are suffering...
Is the government saying Nigerians are idiots who cannot think for themselves and exercise their civil rights?
 
Listen to the people; engage them and pragmatically address their concerns... implement policies that will alleviate poverty and stop sharing one bag of rice to 200 families... address the root cause of Nigeria's problem - corruption, insecurity, incompetence..

DARWANIAN Theory - The Driving Force Behind American Capitalism Philosophy

Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.

STATE of THE NATION (NIGERIA) - February 2020

For 16 years, Nigerians believed that their problem was a political party called PDP. The other side agitated for those 16 years to wrestle power from PDP and many of us supported them. That other side has been in power for almost 5 years now, and things have gone from bad to worse compared to the PDP years. The money APC government has borrowed in 5 years is multiple of what PDP borrowed in 16 years, and the economy has gone down the drain. Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world, and millions of children are out of school, there are no hospitals, unemployment is double digits and it has remained so for the better part of Buhari's time in office. The security situation has gone worse because the president is complicit due to the involvement of his kinsmen - he has shown zero will to tackle the problem decisively. The consequences of this is crack in the wall of the entity called Nigeria - with Amotekun launch in the South West and the US ban of Nigerians from ce
