As Nigerians groan over fuel subsidy removal, one of the proponents and architect of the controversial policy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has just purchased a massive home in Maitama, Abuja for a whooping N1.2 Billion, pointblanknews.com investigation has revealed.
The Finance minister allegedly paid for the property located at No 3 Nwaora close, off Gana Street, Abuja in November 2011, according to a source at the Property Management office.

ABUJA: 14.23…Protesters are still out in force although labour appears to be losing grip of the situation as miscreants are growing impatient and refusing to disperse although no violence has been recorded yet.

CALABAR: 14.20…Unlike Tuesday, traders in Calabar Wednesday opened shops[b] in defiance of a directive of labour leaders[/b] who went around to try to enforce the strike.

Some petrol stations were selling, while buses and taxis operated.

It's pretty quiet here in PH. No protests, everyone going about their normal business, save for the banks which are not open. Its sad cos i thought the protests would get everyone in 9ja sensitive to the affairs of the nation. Rather it seems like the policy in operation is that of "one man for himself" sad

Sure NLC and other unions and groups should be planning strategies to more enlighting the people and keep them informed.

Sure more activist will show up at Ojota today. Labour should also inform the populace to buy more food at home over the weekend and also allow the daily income earners do some business to allow them recoupe for continuation on Monday. This is the only way to sustain the protest.

God help us.

Traders Unhappy Over Closure Of Market
Some traders in Lagos on Wednesday expressed displeasure over the continued closure of markets and their loss of revenue, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports. The markets have remained shut for three consecutive days since the nationwide strike called by a coalition of the NLC, TUC and the civil society began on Monday. The strike was called to protest the Federal Government’s removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) on January 1. The traders who spoke with NAN in separate interviews, urged the Federal Government and labour to dialogue and save Nigerians from more hardship. NAN quotes the traders as saying that their anguish stemmed from the fact that neither the government nor labour would compensate them at the end of the strike. Mr. Matthew Afolabi, a youth leader at Araromi Plank Market in the Mafoluku area of Lagos, said that the strike had eroded their means of livelihood. Afolabi said that traders could not continue with the industrial action because they depended on their daily income to survive. “Our survival depends on what we make on daily basis.” Afolabi expressed support for the subsidy removal, but suggested that it should be gradual to minimise the pains. Mr. Chukwudi Okonkwo, a spare parts dealer, urged labour to call off the strike, saying that he and his family were starving. Okonkwo said that the timing of the fuel subsidy removal and general strike, coming immediately after the yuletide holidays was wrong. He said that he depended on his daily income for the family needs. Another trader, Mr. Obiora Nduka, said that the strike caught most of the traders unawares, adding that they would continue to record losses, if the strike was not suspended.

Called my grandmother and aunt and asked them about it, absolutely nothing. Business as usual, people going to school, living their life. It's pretty quiet there.
