Beaf:

I don't need to convince anyone. Our part of the country has born the brunt of all sorts of abuse from the the rest. All we get are threats and demeaning words; just a few days ago, a member of the Supreme Court made a public apology for his threats. Don't you think at some point we will be tired of being threatened and demeaned?

That point passed long ago, but many have not noticed. Many have been making threats to wipe us out as soon as they can get GEJ; then this brainless "revolution"  to topple GEJ pops up. How do you think we are gonna react, with smiles and thank you's?

We have had pogroms, Asaba, Odi, Gbaramatu. We will have no more.

The near-instant mobilization of protesters to demonstrate against the federal government’s New Year Day removal of subsidy on petrol has caught the attention of the nation’s security operatives as they seek to get to the bottom of the sudden explosion of violence across the country.

The security operatives are suspecting a fifth columnist may have got into the mix and taken advantage of the situation. They are, therefore, trailing the movement of funds to some organizers of the rallies, even as organized labour gets set for mass action from Monday. Daily Sun gathered yesterday that security operatives may have started probing six marketers for allegedly bankrolling the proposed nationwide protest.

Nothing less than N1 billion is believed to have already been doled out by the marketers to some protest organisers. To further underscore government’s seriousness on the matter, it was also authoritatively gathered that the marketers, many of whom figured in the controversial Senate subsidy cabal list, may be arrested for questioning any moment from now.

Consequent upon these findings, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as well as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have been placed on the alert to check curious withdrawals by some marketers to fund any nationwide protest. Investigation showed that the apex bank and the EFCC are monitoring commercial banks on curious withdrawals. However, a Deputy Governor with CBN who spoke on condition of annonimity said “if anybody is concocting huge withdrawals to finance a national strike, it will fail”. He further added: “I think we should all rally round the government to allow this deregulation to succeed. There will be initial pains but Nigerians will enjoy the benefits.”

According to findings by security agencies, the concerned marketers were alleged to be working in concert with some trade union leaders to make the country ungovernable. It was gathered that the security reports had indicted the affected marketers of budgeting over N1billion to frustrate the withdrawal of fuel subsidy. It was also learnt that the security agencies uncovered a secret meeting between the marketers and some Senators and members of the House of Representatives on how to compromise the National Assembly to reject the withdrawal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.

“We are probing some marketers for taking undue advantage of issues raised by Labour to cause mayhem nationwide… Security agencies have identified six of the marketers, who are the arrowheads of this covert plot to bring down the government.” A reliable source told a select group yesterday. According to the source, “the marketers have voted over N1billion to hijack the labour strike to make the nation ungovernable and some marketers will soon be invited for questioning. And whoever is involved might be tried accordingly.

“These marketers are unhappy because the removal of subsidy will put an end to cooking of records to get refund from government and diversion of subsidized imported to neighbouring African countries where they make triple profit.
“They are also angry that it will no longer be business as usual. They are some of the beneficiaries of fuel subsidy.
“Unfortunately, they have made labour leaders to believe that they are backing Nigerian workers for a just cause.”

There are no protests in SS/SE.People in these zones have accepted fuel subsidy in good faith as a prelude to resource control.Whoever claims there is any protest in edo state is a liar.The parasites benefiting from this fuel subsidy and fake federalism in nigeria are SW and core north.These internet protest mobilizers[from SW and core north ] are simply looking for a group to join them and become the scape goat for their failing/failed protests but they will not find any.When Odi in SS was being destroyed and people being killed under a civilian administration by a southwesterner,where were these protesters?

Dude, you are misfiring. Nobody is trying to undo any reap off.

We are simply reacting to hypocrisy and the lies behind the attempted braindead civilian putsh.
before that putsh, there were all sorts of threats driven by open bigotry from farcist and feudal political parties and politicians; it took various forms, from boko haram to all sorts of insults. The good thing is, its all in your face now, from a state of emergency to the removal of the subsidy; carry out your "revolution." In the end, there will be unmistakable winners and clear losers.

Nobody can say with a straight face that the intellectuals from all corners of the country do not know that the removal of the subsidy will be of immense benefit to Nigeria. Instead, they are being hypocritical and pretending to fight for the common man they have spent their whole lives burying.

Anybody that argues that the removal of the subsidy is bad to the extent that they want to overthrow a legitimate govt, is a bloody hypocrite.

CALABAR – A liter of fuel now sells for N250 in some parts of Cross River State just as some motorists including bus/taxi drivers have packed their vehicles as a result of scarcity of fuel and high prize in some stations that have the product.
