1. ACN as a party is protesting, ACN governors are not, they need money for development.
2. The answer is actually between the North and SW
3. Not True. You do not need to be a member to vote ACN afterall PDP won presidential elections in the SW.
4. That is true, the governors need the money.
5. That is partially true, the ACN governors need the moneys to develop their states, that is in the interest of the masses protesting.
6. That is untrue, the position of ACN governors is clear, they want subsidy removal for development of their states, SW people know where the governors stand, the only reason that the protest has not been directed at Fashola and other SW governors is because there is still an element of trust, they trust the governors to do something with the money, the problem with GEJ is there is no trust.
You see, it is not too difficult to speak the truth.

My Questions

1) How come subsidy jumped from 400 billion Naira to 1.3 trillion Naira
2)How much does it cost to refine oil
3) Why are the refineries not working
4) Who should be held responsible for number 3.
5)Why can we not secure our borders.
6) Refer to question 4.

Confident lies  , you knew were wrong with this, but you just had to put them up . .How can the ACN governors stand be different to that of their party . .awfully wrong my bruv . .the rest of your answers were good . . .

And the Fashola injection also defies simple logic . .if Fashola supports Subsidy removal . . .then, he supports GEJ supposed anti people policies and deserves to be roped in as well . .  The people who wanted to burn Sanusi house felt the same way too . . .and if we are to take the Lagos protest genuine . .then such aligned treatment should not be far off

I would allow Nchara continue to entertain you

Let me pick holes in your argument.

1) 2010/2011 with Jonathan in Charge.
2) Between $0.30 and $0.60 per gallon
3) Corruption is the short answer, Jonathan has been in power for 5 years (abi was he not part of Yar'Adua's government)
4) Abeg na Jonathan, he is the President now, he has had enough time to fix the refineries
5) The borders are insecure all over the country, you think it is only land border that we have, what of the seas, by the way, have you seen the borders in the west as well, as porous as anything?
6) Jonathan again.

@topic,

The answer is simple! I will interprete what you asked. Why is WEST leadership not participating in the protest. There is a role for everyone. Street protest is not their role and so the Westerners acknowledge that. We would rather they dig down in the trenches and start formulating a Western emergence out of the chaos. If that's what they are doing, then they are perfectly serving the people in the role they are elected to perform.

In this time of chaos and when everyone is faced inward to their own regional trouble, you are wondering what West is doing when you ought to wonder what East is doing. Aren't you a fool? Have you seen any Westerner here wonder what you are doing in East, or what they are doing in North? We are independent and its time Igbo start acting independently. Look inward to your own problem. . . let others handle theirs.

Akanbi_edu:

hercules, Goodluck to you in wasting your precious airtime.

Nchara:

You can't even tolerate Hercules to discuss what he likes? All these cyber terrorists all over the place.

Let me humour him, I know Nchara is more into his PDP and Eastern stuff that he fails to see that these issues affect everybody, thank God that my Igbo friends feel differently.

Dude, I am no fan of GEJ but I will not let irredentists with sinister motives run down the Govt. What are you and your ACN governors doing about other natural resources in Nigeria? Why the fixation on oil?

@Gbawe

We can only try, I have so much love for the East, met my wife there and one of my best friends is an Easterner, it is a pro bono service to help people like Nchara.

@Nchara

Woke up to read and this is what I get, to your first set of answers oya find below.

1) http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/fuel-subsidy-gulps-n1-3-trillion-in-2010/

2) http://business.whatitcosts.com/refine-oil.htm

3) Very funny, it is ACN running NNPC, Ministry of Petroleum and Armed Forces Abi, try another one.

4) So why do you blame ACN governors and others when they do not perform, afterall it is PDP's fault since they have ruled for far longer, if you work in a company as the MD and you are not able to perform in 1 year, will you blame your predecessor, abeg find something else to talk about.

On the ACN

1) As I have said, the ACN is far more than those people, they as individuals probably support the subsidy removal but as a party issued a statement that they are for the action, that is good enough for me.

2) Actually it was Igbos that claimed they were 40% of Lagosians that were reported to have voted for Goodluck, facts on ground showed that SW voted for Goodluck due to Tinubu's collabo with GEJ.

3) SW governors especially the ones taking over from PDP guys have met empty treasury, they need the money to develop their states, is that too difficult for you to grab? It all boils down to trust, something GEJ does not have from the masses, have you been to Yenagoa before? Alams outperformed GEJ in that place, imagine that.

4) On Fashola, people trust that he will do something with the money if given, but, they will not protest to Fashola because they know he is not the one that removed the subsidy, he can not do anything about the removal (even if he does not support it) and if eventually the subsidy holds he will do something with the money, now in order of preference, the masses will prefer that the subsidy removal be reversed and they are directing their anger at the appropriate authority. Fashola increased the cost of LASU fees and he has been feeling the heat, look at what PDP did with the Lekki toll gate issue.

@Negro and Akanbi

Let me humour him, I know Nchara is more into his PDP and Eastern stuff that he fails to see that these issues affect everybody, thank God that my Igbo friends feel differently.

Gbawe:

@hercules07.

Listen to Akanbi-Edu and stop humouring this bigot. You are wasting your time.  Look at thread post below from the point when he asked;

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=841726.msg9923116#msg9923116

Note the response he got and his conduct thereafter to understand Akanbi Edu assertion that there is nothing to discuss with people like Nchara. Stop wasting your time with someone who ask questions he already has bigoted answers to.

The One:

I find it particularly insulting when people attribute the Lekki toll gate protest to PDP. You mean I and hundreds of working class professionals who came out on that day are PDP members?

Anyways BRF\BAT should not think that issue is gone for good. They are next after this fuel subsidy issue. Good news is that people now understand how it feels to be oppressed when govt tells you you don't matter.

Ndigbos are yet to learn and correct the errors of their fathers in the 60s and 70s.  The likes of Awolowo, Sardauna, Balewa, Akintola were front, right and left providing an umbrella of protection and cover to make sure their citizens"s welfare is not neglected in the interest of relating in the federal collocation.  On the other hand, Ojukwu and Zik left their own people vulnerable and unprotected, they were busy dipping their noses in the business in North and West and trying to always intervene and rescue a situation in other people region while their own is on fire.  

Look at these rascals on Nairaland the way they exhibit the same precise attitude about their homeland and citizens.  Yoruba and Hausa here in NL mind their business and talk about developments in their land.  Ndigbo never initiate any such rally around the homefront, instead they want to talk about Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna.  This is an indication that if a war should erupt, your strategy for your homeland will not produce a different outcome than the one you had in 1970 at the end of the civil war.   Leave alone what others are doing, you have a home. . . focus on your own home.  Nobody will do the job of developing it for you, you alone are responsible for that.  Face Eastward, thats where your home is Nchara. . .
