What is the offense of a common man in Nigeria?

[Princess Leah]

No state in Nigeria is free from the insecurity problem and hardship caused by the government.

Nigeria, where we live, is not easy for anyone, but I am trusting that the hardship we face daily won't consume us; instead it will strengthen us as always to stay alive to witness good leadership from our president and state governor one day

The high rise of insecurities in the country currently is caused by this current government cause the thugs they used to rig elections and bandits/terrorists they formed to displace the opposition party when they were in poverty are the people causing menace to the country currently, so we can say, they're the monsters they made, which is why it's tough for them to handle it since they still need them to carry out their illegal activities.

 It's unfortunate that the masses especially the poor ones are the people suffering it much, you can see how they've crumbling the economy with bad leadership, but one thing i love about our people is that we're survivals and I hope we channel all our anger and frustration to voting out the bad government in the upcoming elections.

The suffering in Nigeria is no longer something new, so is the insecurity and since the government has refused to tackle the problem with seriousness, it is now left for us to help ourselves, which is by being careful and doing everything we know we can do to be safe, as for the government, the citizens are never their problem, the earlier we know, the better for us.

As for the okada banning, we know how it has been a means of survival for our youths, and the elderly, cause I have seen elderly person of 70years+ riding okada, I'm talking about something I know, but the thing is, the reason for banning okada might be because the government wants people to suffer, it might also be for safety and security reason, cause okada is only banned in developed area, urban cities I mean to say, I also understand how such decision by the government will affect the people who survives through that means, is just that the government don't know what's creating alternative means, which is why most of their actions affect the people so much.

Only those that are outside Nigeria and don't read article or listen to some publication from Nigeria news papers or social media will still seek to ask where the problems is coming from, the insecurities levels and the manners to which our government response to issue to need their attention is something to doubt if they truly love and care for the people, some study despite no action against the government have revealed that some of this very suffering is coming from most of our leaders, which may include insecurities cause by their wrong policy, hard economy and embezzlement, inability to executive life changing projects, preserving some notorious murderer for political purpose through all sort of measure to gain power have leads to the current state of being of the citizens where the common man is the receiving end of the sorrow and pains course by the leaders through insecurities risen daily.

There's something that people don't understand when you take food from somebody's mouth forcefully you are literally pushing them out to do anything to survive, most of those biker's are graduates who decided to do that business instead of staining their hands or doing criminal activities and the means of survival was taken away without providing another source of survival. The people who makes these laws have cars, flies in private jet, have escorts that takes them from one place to another so no matter how people complain about insecurity they won't understand because it's not affecting them at all, there is so much hunger everywhere because the poor man has no voice, the government doesn't even listen to them when they talk, they listen to themselves.

Most people are now living their lives in fear, while others can't even travel freely because of the fear of being kidnapped. I'm not against the banning of bikes but then there should be other options, inform them, get them jobs, capital to start business or even give them skills for those that would want to do that but then bikes are been sized and no other way, most of these guys will go back to committing crime.

Sincerely speaking, that is not fair. How do the government intends for them to feed after taking away their source of feeding. Preventing the okadas from doing their jobs, still doesn't solve our problems, because they are not the cause of our problems. The government knows exactly where the problem lies and they intentionally choose to restrict the poors from putting food on the table. How are they by any chance related to the insecurity that we're experiencing, when their lives are at risk. They are risking their lives just to ensure that they survive, despite the fear of insecurity. Because nowadays thieves are killing the okadas just to steal their bikes and other valuable. The country is not save for anyone, so I wonder why the government is punishing the okadas rather than tackling or addressing our problems.

What you said is extremely right, when you take food away from someone's mouth forcefully, you are pushing them out to do whatever it takes for them to survive, and that's the reason why some people end up joining bad gangs.

I don’t think there is any hope for the common man in Nigeria, because Nigeria have been made in such a way that there is absolutely no hope for the common man who doesn’t have money.

We already know that insecurity is a big problem in Nigeria, but the common man suffers from insecurity, poverty, hardship, hunger and starvation, we always hear people getting killed and getting kidnapped but the rich people aren’t affected because they have money to protect themselves, they all have personal security and moving with security convoy, so how do they understand that their is insecurity. The Government is responsible for every bad things happening in the Society.

There is absolutely no hope for the common man in Nigeria, you have to endure and suffer till the day you leave the Earth.

Life of a common man in Nigeria is a joke to the politicians in Nigeria they are just lying to  the common people in the name of job opportunities and education provisions good road and also the problem insecurity.  they will try as much their can to bring in religion into politics to manipulate their people  when they  are considered the winners of the election they vanished.

It has been promise upon promises, all have failed to fulfill what they promised.

What is the offense of a common man in Nigeria, nothing. Absolutely nothing. The citizens have just been seen as nothing important, while politicians crave for there personal gains and live a selfish lives as usual. It is very clear that the leadership don't have any plans for the common man in the country. Anyhow you can manage to survive, it is left to you.

I think all we owe ourselves is not to relax and depend on them for a better life of improved standard of living. Every Nigerian should sit up, seek for skills or personal development so that you can manage yourself and business, so you can take care of yourself. Dependency on the government is now a another crime of a common man in Nigeria, seen how things are already bad.
