Nigerians in UK Diaspora Protests Against President Goodluck’s Govt

Irked by alleged dictatorial tendencies of President Goodluck Jonathan, Hundreds of diaspora Nigerians, resident in London, yesterday, picketed 10 Downing Street, where they presented a copy of their petition to the British Prime Minister. The protesters, carrying placards, presented copies of their petition against what they alleged as ‘President Goodluck Jonathan’s dictatorial tendencies’.

 Inscriptions on some of the placards include: “No to Jonathan’s monopolisation of political ambition” and “Democracy now under Goodluck Jonathan’s dictatorship”

 The petition titled ‘Unsustainable Level Of Orchestrated Political Tensions In Nigeria’ and signed by Daniel Timi Kurobo, reads in part; “Nigeria burns and a conflagration will have severe consequences internationally if not immediately stopped. As a matter of fact, democracy in Nigeria is slowly but surely inching closer to an early grave. Nigeria is close to the precipice, suggesting the possibility of another military coup which we do not want.

But it may shock you to know that Nigerians in their teeming numbers are already canvassing for this as the only antidote to a budding civilian dictatorship.

One thing though, Why are they covering their eyes with the protest banner - I know we have issues at home, but this looks sponsored to me
