"Your people" are my people. "My people" are "your people".

"Your people" are business men and travellers, and also according to nairaland, that are the highest population in each state apart from the indigene. If so then we can say your people would be the most hit can't we.

If I see "your people" suffering on the streets, do you think the alj harem of nairaland would be so bigoted/ callous to let them be ?

In my life, lots of "your people" have helped me in various occassion thus I view myself as one of "your people".

Onlytruth, you don't understand how angry I am right now on this subsidy thing.

I cannot buy fuel to my generator because it is 141 naira/liter. i use 10 -12 liters very night to sleep and now it has increased to 1500 naira .

Serves you right. Maybe you'd post less mischievous lies on Nairaland.

Most of you guys reside overseas so how are you going to protest? After days of correct hunger, I trust my dear Nigerians to retire to their homes and workplace. I hope, however, that I am proved wrong.

It was the work and collaboration of home-based Nigerians and diaspora Nigerians that gave Steve Ugbah his deserved victory as Benue State Governor last month. I, amongst others, have created and are posting on that Facebook page and Twitter, Nigeria's fastest news source.

Bauchi has been added to the list. I haven't heard too much from people in that region, but that's the date and location being circulated. If you're in Bauchi, please lend your support!

we shall see

Let me predict what will happen: NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING. QED.

What's your twitter handle Miss? I'd like to follow you if you are OK with it

That's fine. @msbelle21

Thanks

Is the crowd building up in Ibadan?

I'm asking around. There are people there. I'm not sure the size of the crowd yet.

Ok

Occupy Lagos kicks off in 15 minutes!

The crowd in Ibadan is small, as expected as it's really early. We hope the numbers grow as the day expires.

Thank you for keeping the world abreast! History will remember people like you. We are strongly behind you and we are also monitoring and braodcasting. The whole world is watching.

Thank you, but it's not only me. It's Nigerians as a whole. This fuel subsidy removal was the wake up call Nigerians needed. I am taken aback by the numbers I've seen in Lagos and Abuja. I promise to keep you all updated to the best of my ability.
