Subsidy Removal: NLC And TUC Planning Strikes, Street Demonstrations by EvilBrain1(m): 11:41pm On Jan 01, 2012 |
http://www.channelstv.com/global/news_details.php?nid=30863&cat=Local The Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress and the pro-people civil groups have asked Nigerians to resist the imposition of the new fuel prices, resulting from government’s unceremonious removal of fuel subsidy. This is the time to stand up and fight for your country. The era of talking has passed. The people have to rise up and take Nigeria back from the liars and thieves in Abuja. It's time to go to war against these criminals. Who's with me?! |

People should be aware that the police is likely to look for any excuse to teargas or shoot unarmed protesters. Do not let them provoke you into violence. Keep it peaceful and we will win. Let's try and keep the bloodshed to a minimum. |

Everybody should stay close to a radio tomorrow morning and wait for the people at NLC to make the announcement. Prepare to go outside and protest. |

This battle over subsidy is likely to last a long time. People should try and stock up on food and cash, there's no guarantee that ATM machines will get refilled if the strike lasts long enough. Try and avoid unnecessary movements, and be aware that thugs might try to hijack the protests to rob people. Stay safe! |

So you guys now see the merit in protesting? Well, for me I did a test run with the Lekki toll protest and saw how people here scoffed at it. As for me and my family, we are not protesting again! |
Re: Subsidy Removal: NLC And TUC Planning Strikes, Street Demonstrations by EvilBrain1(m): 1:00am On Jan 02, 2012 |
The One: The Lekki toll road was small potatoes compared to this. This subsidy issue is going to sink millions of Nigerians into poverty if nothing is done. People are literally going to suffer and starve over this. Think about those who are raising families on N15,000 a month. And don't be discouraged just because the last one didn't work out. You don't just give up because of one setback, you keep fighting. |

Nigerians are too impatient! This also happened in Ghana. This is one good thing GEJ has done. The MOPOLS need to come around to tear-gas those m0r0ns I swear! |

@ Evil Brain try to put ur head to good use. May be this will get alot of the junk or death trap people ride around in off the streets and reduce the number of road accident casualty from cheap fuel. Everyone in Nigeria is driving becos it is affordable. Besides in the UK we have congestion charging, to reduce the number of motorist and pollution. Nigeria motorist nad polllution need reduction too. GEJ is simply too good. |

Surely they will gather but most surely the will scatter. the fuel subsidy is a big drain on the economy and benefits daily the oil majors. it is only ignorant folks to will stick out their neck for the benefit of the oil cabals who have manipulated the media to instill fears of subsidy removal on undescerning people. Fuel subsidy removal has come people, lets embrace change. it's not as bad as they made it sound. |

These sycophants, these sycophants, Funny how these two i-diots above who by the way are not based in the country are running their mouth. Don't worry until this govt is shut down. Fuel subsidy has neva been the problem of nigeria |

@moderator, never you remove my post again. This is the last warning i will give to you. This is suppose to be a free forum/society where views can be can be made known, Just because i said MASSOB should capitalise on this impending protest and also embark on a full scale pro-independent protest that would be likened to the to the arab uprising so that the whole world will hear our voice, Abo oro lama ba omo oluwabi so, you know the rest. BE WARN |

PointB: You people are missing the point. It doesn't matter if the subsidy benefits the so called cabal. Even if only 1% of the money got to ordinary folks, that't still a benefit they had before that they didn't have now. Not only is the government punishing ordinary people for their own failure to prosecute high level criminals, they are asking us to tighten our belts while they are loosening theirs. While the government is still paying the fat cats their jumbo allowances and wasting hundreds of billions on inflated contracts and running their bloated operation, they want the poor to make all the sacrifices? We will not stand for it! It's time to show Goodluck and co who is the master and who is the servant. Those liars and thieves need to be brought down to their level. |
