This is lengthy, please take your time to read through In the heat of the Occupy Nigeria protests along with the NLC strike, we were being summoned to Abuja for a meeting. Equally unnerving is the announcement that the Airspace would be temporarily opened to facilitate the meeting. http://www.watchinglagos.com/2013/01/how-nlc-and-tuc-betrayed-occupynigeria.html 7 Likes |

Labor has a history of betrayals, i expected nothing better from them, the only good thing they did was calling the strike, after that there was nothing left for those opportunists to do.BTW when next we are starting a revolution could you and other members of the "organizing committee" pick a better name than occupynigeria.All "occupy" movements have a tendency of failure and i was sad when ours adopted the unfortunate name. |

Hmmm... Funny enough I thought I was the only one who saw NLC's move as a backstage settlement from FG. I still think the same of Oshiomhole and the many fruitless strikes in his time as NLC president. Make dem dey play Nigerians dey go. Most of us would never realise it. Most of those who realise it do not really care. Those who care are usually too powerless to do anything about it. 5 Likes |

That is why i love the Tahrir Square gathering in Egypt.whenever any uprising against the Government kicks off they dont need any groups like PENGASSON,NLC or NUPENG to lead them because they know there will be sell out.Instead the masses takes their destiny into their hands by being their own organisers and they do not need negotiators instead they give the Govt fire for fire until the Government cry out and submit to their demands.That is what Nigerians need and we should not wait for these pressure groups to lead the match because the Nigerian factor will sure come into play that is sell out and political hijacking of the situation. 13 Likes |

Why didn't PEGASSAN abi werin b dem name no deny werin Omar tok abt total shut down? if you had read the story/ account of the insider, you will know that a repeat of what happened in June 1996 would have happened to anybody who raised a contrary opinion. NLC/TUC, is one of the reasons why a successful demonstration can never be carried out by Nigerians. Make we dey dia they deceive ourselves. Moreover this ain't a surprise. 2 Likes |

Nigerians forget easily that's why its easy for them to be trampled upon(minus me sha). No fuel price increase can be taken in Nigeria without the knowledge of the NLC & TUC hierachy loooooong before the prices are increased because they are amongst those who determine what is a "fair" price to Nigerians and they also have their cut on every liter of petroleum product sold in the country, in fact the decision to increase the price of petroleum products come january 2012 had been reached way back october/november 2011 and it was in the news although most Nigerians prefer watching paloma & super story than watching the news. That's also one of the reasons I laughed when the labour unions decided to "negotiate" something they'd agreed upon tey tey just to deceive gullible Nigerians and guess what ? It worked like magic with a caveat (complete subsidy removal by april 2012) the NLC/TUC agreed patapata. I guess you all missed that part too butdont worry the govt go soon remind una this year when the new financial year resumes by maybe march/april. ALL GOVERNORS in Nigeria ACTUALLY steam rolled the FG into the removal of petroleum subsidy, we all know the governors are in a very powerful fraternity called the "Governors Forum" which have their stooges in the national assembly with said stooges having the power to cause countless headaches eg impeachment proceedings against the presidency. Well these governors including ACN o, APGA o, LP o including PDP decide they need more money to "develop" their respective states and the only way to get such money in abundance is by the total removal of petroleum subsidy so any governor who came out to support any of you protesters just dey play una wayo. If they really hated the FG's decision, they could have rejected any surplus additions to their regular monthly allocations in that spirit. What we should be asking ourselves now is why can't our beloved national assembly members reduce their emoluments by at least 3 quarters after all they work part time. That's a protest I will support. What have our respective governors been doing with the SURE - P money they've been receiving since january/february 2012 ? Let's start throwing the stones in our respective homes before going to Abuja. I believe subsidy MUST go but only after we have functional refineries sha. 18 Likes |

eagle,eye: Oahray: Hmmm... Funny enough I thought I was the only one who saw NLC's move as a backstage settlement from FG. I still think the same of Oshiomhole and the many fruitless strikes in his time as NLC president. Truly, we Nigerians suffer from amnesia! We forget too easily! Take Oshiomole for example: This fiery pretender that blares his eyes like an owl was supposed to be Negotiating on behalf of Nigerians during one of OBJ's incessant fuel hikes. A second example is Reuben Abatti, the fiery Nespaper Editor who mesmerized us with his incisive pen as he pilloried a "one bad government after another". These two were trusted by Nigerians to "broker a good deal" with OBJ, during the fuel crisis. There REMIT was that the Fed. Govt MUST reverse the fuel hikes and that was the message they were sent to DELIVER to OBJ in Abuja! But alas, like our "Oni of Ife", during the 'Maradonic-somersault years" of IBB when the infamous "The Man (IBB) is talking sense" verdict was given by his Royal Oshiomole and Abati simply did a volt-face in Abuja and announced that the Strike has been called-off! It is on record that Abati till date, could not explain that his piece of land in Abuja (as part of the deal) and that singular act catapulted Oshiomole into the club of mulch-millionaires and into government house (using the "Gift" he got from OBJ). Does anyone remember that Yar Adua spokeman, Segun Adeniyi or whatever he is called, (he is now irrelevant anyway!) who before he became a "Govt-trumpet", wrote eloquently against Govt injustice to the citizens? Appointed into office, he became the greatest "lie-spinner" during Yar Aduas days as President. He was one of those who told the nation how Yar Adua was doing more Push-Ups and running 100M-dash in a time faster that Usain Bolt when in fact, the man has passed-on in a Saudi Hospital1 Bottom-line: NIGERIAN Union Leaders are TRAITORS. Any "Revolution" that would change Nigeria for GOOD will be spontaneous, furious, bloody and will be borne out of acute and prolonged suffering of Nigerians. That is how it happened in other countries and Nigeria wont be different. It is our individual selfishness that is our greatest enemy, in putting those thieves where they (their necks) belong: On a Guillotine! Lastpage!

Everybody knew then that, NLC and TUC were the moles the FG used to suppressed the only struggle that have so far united Nigerians without recourse to religion, ethnic tribe and status (I never participated though). I was pained that Nigerians were sold for peanuts. Anyway, an opportunity may still arise again and I hope Nigerians will NEVER allow moles to sell them out again. 2 Likes |
