There is no sector in the Nigerian economy that has been deregulated and is performing poorly. Telecoms company in Nigeria today pay the highest amount of tax to the government with MTN almost single-handedly sponsoring the last world-cup is South Africa with money made from the Nigerian economy as compared to the initial state of NITEL. In aviation Nigerian airlines serve the whole of west African countries with the likes of Arik and Air Nigeria competing with the best airlines in South Africa and Kenya compared to the days of NIGERIAN AIRWAYS. The protest should be channeled towards corruption in Government, social inequalities, bogus allowances for electoral officers and high cost of running government, insecurity and failure of our public education system and social infrastructure (Pipe borne water and Electricity). This is our chance to occupy the country for a true transformation, Godbless Nigeria

you have a point my friend. repost this your post as a comment under one of those articles on the home page else your msg will go unnoticed,

Yes people are aware. I think part of the reason is peopel know the GOVT is so corrupt that any extra proceeds that comes from removal of subsidy will be chopped. So they rather Govt not get their hands on anymore money. 

People wont forget no matter what I think PDP time is over come 2015. GEJ has sown their fate. No amout of rigging will save them imo  . January 1 2012 will go down in Nigerias history.

MAKE THEM DEY DO GHA GHA GHA.THIS IS CAPITALISM NOT COMMUNISM.
CAN'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND SIMPLE MATHS.NO GOVERNMENT CAN STOP CORRUPTION
IN NIGERIA BECAUSE IT CONNECTS  THE LEADERS AND ALL POLITICIANS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP  CORRUPTION IN THE OIL SECTOR IS TO REMOVE THE
SUBSIDY ENTIRELY.CHANNEL THE MONEY TO SMALL BUSINESSES,AGRICULTURE.
ANY ONE BORROWING 10MILLION DOWN FOR SMALL BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURE
IS CHARGED MAXIMUM 5% INTEREST BY BANKS AND GIVEN 7 YRS MINIMUM REPAYMENT.
YOU DON'T NEED COLLATERAL TO TAKE A LOAN OF THIS NATURE.ONLY GOOD
BUSINESS PLAN AND GUARANTOR.MAKE THE REFINERY TO WORK AND GIVE
ANYONE WHO HAVE THE FINANCE TO IMPORT FUEL LICENCE.
