Recently Nigeria has been faced by serious economic difficulties and life has been difficult for the average and common Nigerian. We all can attest to the hyperinflation and suffering. It started with the constant increase in dollar rate, then to the fuel crisis and blackouts which is somewhat better now. Today the Huss and fuss about the increased dollar has died down because we are Nigerians and we simply adapt. The constant prolonged fuel crisis is now a part of life, we have simply adapted. No lights and we just bear all the hardship. The truth is the common man is suffering and the reason why it seems we have all adapted is because the voice of the common man cannot be heard.
We however used to have a body that speaks for the common man, a body that fights and oppose the government until the do what is right or agree to certain terms.

The mission of the NLC is "to organise, unionise and educate all categories of Nigerian workers; defend and advance the political, economic, social and cultural rights of Nigerian workers; emancipate and unite Nigerian workers and people from all forms of exploitation and discrimination; achieve gender justice in the work place and in NLC; strengthen and deepen the ties and connections between Nigerian workers and the mutual/natural allies in and outside Nigeria and; lead the struggle for the transformation of Nigeria into a just, humane and democratic society". The objectives of the NLC which is contrary to what they do now can be read here: - http://www.nlcng.org/objectives.php.

In all these where has the NLC been? I don’t even know who the president of the NLC is, are they supporters of the government now? Is that why they have been silent on National and critical issues? The NLC has always helped the government remember that their policies affect the common man but today it seems the NLC is a relegated union. The NLC needs to wake up and understand what it stands for.

There are in the grave.

They are in the fuel queue

I really need the MODs to move this to front the page. This needs to reach the NLC.
