Nationwide Protests: See Tips On How To Remain Safe During Demonstration—-As the 10-day hunger protest begins on Thursday across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, it’s crucial for participants to ensure their safety and preparedness.

The protest aims to draw attention to the severe economic challenges facing the country.

Here are some important preparations to consider before joining the protest:

Know why you’re protesting: If you plan to join in any protest, you must not be caught off-guard on why you joined in the first place. Typically, for any Nigerian, Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to assemble freely and associate with others.
Ensure you know the assembly point before the protests begin, and familiarise yourself with all possible routes throughout the protest.
Keep your identity card with you.
To stay hydrated, ensure you carry enough water with you in a bag, and put some snacks in your bag to eat. If you have any health concern, like Asthma, kindly take your inhaler along.
Use a nose mask in case security operatives fire tear gas. Keep a hand sanitiser in your bag to be used at intervals.
Put on light clothes and sneakers to ease your movement.
Keep your mobile phone fully charged and also carry a power bank with you. Having enough airtime on your line(s) is advisable.
While it’s safe to stay in groups, you should also be wary of the people and activities in your surroundings.
Always stay alert.
Obey the protest organisers and leaders. Don’t go against their directives.
Do not taunt any security official simply because you have the constitutional right to protest.

BOAT: Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2008 Season Leads Ballon d’Or Greatest Vote With 62%

BOAT: Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2008 Season Leads Ballon d’Or Greatest Vote With 62%—-Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic 2007/08 campaign at Manchester United leads the Ballon d’Or of All Time fan poll, ahead of Lionel Messi’s historic 2012 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s outstanding 2008 season has emerged as the leading choice in the Ballon d’Or of All Time (B.O.A.T.) fan vote, with the Portuguese superstar reportedly securing 62 per cent of the votes.

The initiative, organised by France Football, invites supporters to select the greatest Ballon d’Or-winning season in the award’s history, bringing some of football’s most celebrated legends into the spotlight once again.

According to reports published on Tuesday, October 20, Ronaldo’s first Ballon d’Or-winning campaign remains comfortably ahead of the other contenders as voting continues.

Ronaldo’s Historic Manchester United Campaign

Ronaldo won his first Ballon d’Or in 2008 after a remarkable season with Manchester United, during which he played a key role in the club’s Premier League and UEFA Champions League triumphs.

The Portuguese forward scored 42 goals across all competitions during the 2007/08 campaign, establishing himself as one of the world’s leading players and earning the prestigious individual award at just 23 years old.

His performances combined goalscoring, pace and attacking influence, helping Manchester United secure major honours under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The award also marked the beginning of Ronaldo’s five-Ballon-d’Or career.

Messi’s 2012 Season Trails in the Vote

Lionel Messi’s 2012 Ballon d’Or-winning season is reportedly in second place with 13 per cent of the votes.

Messi’s 2012 campaign remains one of the most statistically remarkable individual years in football history, as he scored a record 91 goals for club and country during the calendar year.

However, the current poll focuses on fans’ choices among the greatest Ballon d’Or-winning seasons rather than determining the official winner of the award.

Ronaldo’s 2008 campaign and Messi’s 2012 achievement have once again brought their historic rivalry into focus, with supporters debating which season deserves the greatest recognition.

Ten Football Legends Included

The B.O.A.T. vote features 10 multiple-time Ballon d’Or winners, including Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo Nazário, Marco van Basten, Michel Platini, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Kevin Keegan, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff and Alfredo Di Stéfano.

The contest allows fans to compare standout seasons from different generations, placing modern football icons alongside some of the sport’s greatest historical figures.

Reports indicate that voting is scheduled to close on October 27, with the final outcome expected after the voting period ends.

A Fan Vote, Not an Official Ballon d’Or Award

Although Ronaldo currently leads the poll, the result remains provisional while voting is ongoing.

The initiative does not change the official Ballon d’Or record. Ronaldo has won the award five times, while Messi has won it eight times.

For now, Ronaldo’s 2008 season holds the reported lead in the fan-led contest, underlining the lasting impact of his Manchester United performances and the continuing interest in comparing football’s greatest individual campaigns.
